Feature Note
Author attributions

Regular; nearly every poem is also captioned with information about its source (including volume and page numbers). 

Binding

Post-bound. Cover slightly smaller than page at the bottom, and cover pasted on.

Single large gathering, with front and back pages pasted onto vellum cover. Defective spine. 

Hands

Single; neat but small. 

Indications of use

Index is alphabetical; titles tend to be short and sometimes made up, especially for extracts, so possibly intended to be used to reference items to be remembered.

End leaves used for pen trials, lists of clothing and household inventory that have been crossed out.

Organization

Tendency to have series of poems by individual authors.

Original poetry

Unlikely. No indication of anything that is not found in the various miscellanies and collections of works indicated at the end of most works, although not 100% sourced.

Ownership mark

Pencilled name A. Rogers and date 1948 on back page (p. 144).

Page layout

Paginated (pp. 1-140 paginated, p. 141 and 2 pp of index not paginated).

Poems begun immediately one after another even if only space enough for one line.

Table of Contents

Yes, an alphabetical index at the end of the manuscript. Sometimes topical rather than titles.
