| Feature | Note |
|---|---|
| Author attributions | Frequent; mostly Dibdin, with some printed songs which indicate who sang them rather than who wrote them. |
| Binding | Post-bound. Handstitched booklet of several gatherings. |
| Hands | Single decorative hand. One item written in another hand, an endorsement of Polly's taste in creating her book. |
| Indications of use | Note from “Harriet Binny” (written backwards) indicates book circulated among friends. Note to “Polly” highlights her taste in selection. |
| Ownership mark | "Mary Marshall Her Book Jan:y {5th} {1805}." |
| Page layout | Pages quite crowded. |
| Printed items | Book is a mix of printed and handwritten material. Pasting quite amateurish. |
| Title page | First printed item, “The Banks of the Dee,” arguably serves as title page. |
