Letters of the alphabet are written at the head of the rectos of ff. 1-116 ('V' on the same page as 'U', f. 113 blank, perhaps left for 'X', no 'Z'); words are written in the margin with notes, quotations etc alongside them; occasionally the facing verso is also used for notes.

In a letter from FitzGerald to E. B. Cowell, 3 Sept. 1858, he states that 'I amuse myself with jotting down materials (out of vocabularies, etc) for a Vocabulary of rural English, or rustic English: that is, only the best country words selected from the very many Glossaries, etc., relating chiefly to country matters, but also to things in general: words that carry their own story with them, without needing Derivation or Authority, though both are often to be found...'

Some French words and phrases are recorded at the end of the book (f 116v and the following, unnumbered f.) The flyleaves are used for notes, including some taken from 'Mr Muller's Lectures'.
