Rare.

Binding

Calf with gold tooling around border; spine is labelled: MSS 

Hands

Single.

Indications of use

Small loose leaf paper tucked into spine, likely some sort of bookmark.

Blot papers bound between each sheet, blots don't align with underlying text. 

Page layout

Makes ostentatious use of white space, with every item occupying a column on the left-hand side of the page and a wide red-ruled margin on the right-hand side (about 6.5 cm wide) – which is used for annotations at various points. 

Paginated.
