There are pencil comments by Lord Byron, mostly of fulsome compliment, on ff. 2b, 3b, 4b, 5, 5b, 6b, 7b, 8b, 11b, 16b, 19b, 20b and 23b. On f. 31b Hunt has written: 'Dear Byron, Shall I keep this couplet?', to which Byron has replied in pencil 'why not? unless you can make it better ― & this will not be done easily. (line) With the whole since my last pencil marks in the first pages I have no fault to find ― but many more beauties than there is time or place to express here.' According to Wise, the sealing wax which is to be seen on the folios on which Byron has pencilled his comments is the remains of that used by Hunt to secure paper over the comments in order to protect them while the MS. was at the printers.
