C. G. Rossetti Notebooks. 18 Dec. 1856-29 June 1858. The text is written on both sides of twenty six octavo leaves of ruled white laid paper and of one leaf of cream wove paper (f. 27). No watermark. There is an index on ff. 28, 28b. The principal revisions and additions to the text of the poems are as follows:― (a) Revisions by Christina. ff. 3, 6b, 7, 9b, 10b, 12, 13b;―(b) Marks made by Christina when selecting stanzas from ''Maude Clare'' for printing in Once a Week for 5 Nov. 1859, pp. 381, 382, and reprinting in Goblin Market and Other Poems, 1862, pp. 76-79. ff. 16b-21b;―(c) Notes by W. M . Rossetti. ff. 7, 10b. Several pages are missing, viz.:―17-20 (between ff. 8 and 9), containing ''Out of sight'' (apparently lost, but perhaps ''Bury Hope out of sight'') and ''In the Round Tower at Jhansi'', 25, 26 (of which the stub remains, numbered f. 11), containing part, now lost, of ''A Nightmare'', 33, 34 (between ff. 14 and 15), now Ashley MS. 1365, containing ''An Apple Gathering'', 49-52 (between ff. 21 and 22) containing the end of ''Maude Clare'' and a lost poem ''Jealousy is cruel as the Grave'', and 63, 64, which are replaced by a copy (f. 27) in the hand of W. M. Rossetti. The original folio, now in the Huntington Library, was sold by Rossetti, as appears from part of a letter accompanying it: ''The leaf wh. contains "Up-hill" (along with the conclusion of "At Home") comes out of one of these notebooks. It was purchased from me, soon after Christina''s death, by Mr F. H. Evans . . .''
In the original covers, rebacked, and numbered ''8'' on f. i.
