The majority of the book is taken up by miscellaneous notes by Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885). A privately printed pamphlet entitled 'Observations on certain Questions arising from Chapter XLI of the Statutes of Trinity College, Cambridge, printed by W. Nicol, 60, Pall Mall' is loose at the back of the volume, and there are numerous pages of notes on the topics it contains: 'Whether the Head of House, being an Elector, is eligible to the Professorship', and 'Whether the Head of a House being an Elector, can vote for himself', perhaps evidence that Christopher Wordsworth is the writer of the anonymous pamphlet.

Other material includes biblical notes in Latin, drafts of addresses (some relating to Harrow School), draft letters dated 1843, biblical and classical references etc.
