Physical Characteristics:

Foliation: The foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the inside front cover with 1 and terminates at the inside back cover with 599; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. A previous foliation sequence, present between ff 4-95, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.

Pagination: The file also contains an original printed pagination sequence which runs in parallel between ff 14-586 and additional intermittent pagination sequences which are written in pencil, but are not circled.

The volume includes a sequence of blank pages, ff 587-598, which have not been digitised.

Arrangement:

The volume is arranged in approximate chronological order from the front to the rear of the volume.
