| Feature | Note |
|---|---|
| Author attributions | Never. |
| Binding | Post-Bound (stitched). Not a gathering, rather a set of bifolia stitched together with paper covers. |
| Hands | Single. Poem written into the back cover seemingly in another hand or an older version of the same hand. |
| Indications of use | Perhaps copies of poems presented to a schoolmaster and written for other memorable occasions. One poem added later in reference to a ten-year-old daughter. Seemingly not the writer’s child, because of praise for the two parental minds traced in child’s face, though copyist could be the parent, if poem presented to her/him. |
| Item formatting | Quite plain. Double horizontal rules at end of poems. |
| Original poetry | Yes, seemingly all original. |
| Page layout | Pencilled rules to keep lines of poetry straight. |
