See the separate descriptions of the contents. On the spine is stamped ‘Marquiss [sic] of Winchester’.

On the front cover is stamped ‘CL [i.e. 150] Orginal-Handschriften [sic] Welt-Berümter Männer’. Three or four letters have been scraped away after ‘CL’.

The contents of the book are mostly autograph inscriptions on slips, removed from various alba amicorum. Each slip typically contains a moral injunction or other text (most of which have been quoted in the individual descriptions), a complimentary message to the recipient, and the name and titles of the writer. A few are painted with arms or other designs. The slips on ff. 8r, 45r, 53r, 62r, 65r, 76r, 77r, 93r, 97r, 98r, 113r, 124r, and 147r have inscriptions on the front and the back.

In the descriptions of the individual items MS ‘j’ and ‘v’ have been printed ‘i’ and ‘u’ respectively where they represent vowels, and breves (˘) have been disregarded. The Greek characters ȣ and ϛ (stigma) been replaced by ου and στ respectively. The sources of texts have sometimes been indicated, though they are not usually mentioned on the slips themselves. It should be noted that in many cases the texts are adaptations rather than exact quotations.

Some slips share characteristics with others, indicating that they probably have a common origin. The most obvious of these groups are as follows:

(1) Five fairly small slips, all about 9 cm wide, though clearly trimmed, bearing inscriptions dated at Wittenberg in June and November 1593: ff. 28r, 29r, 51r, 87r, and 104r.

(2) Seven small slips of various sizes, all trimmed, bearing painted coats of arms, all undated but probably of the 17th c.: ff. 4r, 13r, 16r, 17r, 112r, 135r, and 146r.

(3) Nine slips, mostly trimmed but probably originally measuring about 9.5 by 15 cm, three of them written on both sides, bearing inscriptions dated as follows:

Leipzig, 25 Oct. 1667 (f. 53r)*
Wittenberg, 27 Feb. 1670 (f. 147r)

These slips probably came from the album of Balthasar Friedrich Saltzmann, to whom those marked with asterisks are addressed.

(4) Thirty-eight slips, mostly measuring about 9.5 by 15 cm, six of them written on both sides, bearing inscriptions dated as follows:

Darmstadt, 22 Mar. 1709 (f. 77r)

(Weimar, 1702 x 1725) (f. 45r)

Each of these slips is numbered in the top right-hand corner on one side, but there is no obvious pattern to the numbering. The slips probably came from the album of Elias Silberrad, to whom those marked with asterisks are addressed.

It may also be noted that there are two inscriptions dated at Lützelstein in 1618 (ff. 49r and 69r), two at Giessen in 1653 (ff. 43r and 56r), two at Jena on 10 April 1654 (ff. 30r and 101r), two at Leiden in 1713 (ff. 3r and 102r), seven at Halle in April 1717 (ff. 47r, 67r, 70r, 122r, 124r, 131r, and 148r), three at Halle in October 1740 (ff. 10r, 81r, 98r), and three at Jena in July 1741 (ff. 57r, 63r, and 68r).

On the spine is stamped ‘Documens de Charlotte de Beaune’.

On the spine is written ‘Charles. 9. Liure 1. et 2’. The volume contains the text of the first two Books of Varillas’ Histoire de Charles IX. This work, which comprised ten Books in all, was first published in two volumes in 1683, though it had previously circulated in manuscript.

On the front is stamped ‘MSS’.

Poems and other literary pieces. On the spine is stamped: ‘M.S.S. Poems of the Time of Charles II. Collected for Robert Viscount Bodmin. Part II.’

Poems and other literary pieces, with transcripts of some diplomatic documents. On the spine is stamped: ‘M.S.S. Poems of the Time of Charles II. Collected for Robert Viscount Bodmin. Part I.’ The table of contents is at the end (pp. 302–7).

On the spine is stamped: ‘Literary Assignments of Jacob Tonson’.

On the spine is stamped ‘M.S. Poetry of the 18th Century’. For the contents see the separate descriptions.

Most of the contents are notes for sermons or other addresses, or for self-improvement. Since notes relating to various subjects are often combined on a single sheet, succinct description is difficult, and many of the separate descriptions of the contents are not exhaustive.

Some of the sheets fall into obvious groups: for instance, ff. 41, 43–6, 32–7, 92–6, 91, 97–106 (in that order) are pages 7–64 of a booklet, of which f. 40 appears to have been the front cover, and ff. 156–62 and 107–11 appear to be parts of another booklet. Folios 64–5 and 47–50 may also belong together.

On the spine of the volume is stamped ‘Private Papers of Orator Henley’ and, at the foot, ‘1630’. (The label has come off, but the impression of the letters remains.)

On the spine is stamped ‘Autograph MSS of the Poet Gray’.

On the spine is stamped ‘Pasguinades Anglaises de 1743 MSS.’ (The spelling ‘Pasguinades’ is probably due to a misreading of the title-page.) The writing on the interspersed leaves is all in the same hand.

The contents may be divided into the following sections (the section headings in inverted commas derive from the table of contents):

Satirical prints (ff. 5-15)
‘Papiers satyriques’ (ff. 16-34)
‘Brochures sur le commerce’ (ff. 35-99)
‘Brochures politiques’ (ff. 110-283)

The inscription on the spine is indistinct. The volume contains two separate manuscripts, both in the hand of Giovanni Antonio Papini. The first manuscript contains the statutes of the Compagnia della Misericordia of Florence (ff. 1r–10r); the second, ‘Diceria di Santa Nafissa Al Sesto Re della Virtu’ (ff. 1r–4r), by Annibale Caro, and ‘Che non è ingiuria il dire Tu se’ un Bue’ (ff. 5r–29v), by Papini himself. The first of these texts, headed ‘Capitoli della Compagnia della Miseria’ (sic), was copied by Papini from a transcript made by Antonio Maria Biscioni of a manuscript of about 1478 (see f. 10v); the second was copied by him on 23 November 1731 from a manuscript belonging to Gaetano Bernestat (see f. 4r).

On the spine is stamped ‘Lives of Remarkable Criminals 1760 to 1780—London’. See the separate descriptions of the contents.

On the spine is stamped ‘L’Ecóle [sic] du Monde'.

See the table of contents below. On the spine is stamped ‘Relatio de Captivitate Camerarii MS.’
