However, most of the notes are on mathematical topics: 'Vulgar Fractions', 'Reductions', 'Multiplications' and so on, including discussion of surds and fluxions. Many pages are crossed through.

Right edges of ff. 2-5 trimmed to form alphabetical index and the pages divided into quarters; the leaf with entries for letters T-Z. has been lost. Names such as John Till Allingham, Robert Mildred, David and Joseph Ricardo and Harry Sherer appear, although not always in the main body of the ledger since several leaves have been removed and others have cuttings pasted over the entries by Halliwell. ff. 8 and 16-40 are still present. For each pair of facing pages, a name appears at the top of the left hand page, with debits entered below, and credits on the facing page.

Free space around index entries used by Halliwell for journal entries, 1837 and 1838; these journal entries continue at intervals in the rest of the book.

ff. 36A-61 are headed with the years 1550-1600; notes on authors and books published in those years are written below, but Halliwell seems to have given up on these and most are crossed through.

ff. 57A-57D are loose sheets with extracts from and letters printed in the Times, 1845-1846, re the legal case concerning suspicions that Halliwell had stolen books from Trinity College Library which subsequently found their way into the collections of the British Museum.
