Physical Characteristics:

Foliation: The foliation sequence commences at the first folio with 1 and terminates at the inside back cover with 603; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top centre of the recto side of each folio. A previous foliation sequence, which is present between ff 469-513 and is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out. The foliation sequence does not include the front cover, nor does it include the two leading flyleaves. A small insert is attached to f 67 and has been labelled as 67A and counted as a fold-out.
