On large paper, except for sheets 2C, 2H, 2L, 2Q, and 2R, which measure 30 cm untrimmed, in comparison to 32 cm trimmed for the rest of the volume. Autographs: "Hannah Flatman 1674" [presumably the wife of Thomas Flatman, who contributed a pindarick ode (e2-f1)]; "Frank Flatman" [possibly their daughter Franck, according to The life and uncollected poems of Thomas Flatman by F.A. Child, 1921]. A few pencilled scribbles, as from a child. Ruled in red. In a red goatskin binding, gold-tooled, marbled endleaves, edges gilt ("cottage-roof" style binding).
