| Feature | Note |
|---|---|
| Author attributions | Rare. |
| Binding | Original black roan. Subsequently rebacked. Marbled paper on insides of covers. Gilt edges of pages. |
| Hands | Single; the first 116 leaves are in Kilderbee's hand, and the few remaining entries are in several other hands (this database entry concerns the Kilderbee section only). |
| Indications of use | Small slip of paper used as bookmark. |
| Item formatting | Short, double horizontal lines between items. |
| Organization | Many dates attached to the entries, apparently not those of copying, and not in chronological order, though they still demonstrate a progression towards 1824, near the end of the first hand. |
| Original poetry | Unlikely given the focus on fashionable people. |
