Notes on several events during the Franco-Prussian war, with several maps [ff 1-32]; reference to 'Mr [Edward] Bowen' being in Paris at the time suggests that the lectures were delivered by him during Trevelyan's schooldays at Harrow, 1886-1890 [f 31].
Translation, at the other end of the book, by Trevelyan of Lucretius Book III [of "De Rerum Natura"], lines 161-685, written on recto of folia with corrections and annotations, some in red and blue pencil, on facing page [63r-32v]
