Scope and content
A transcript of Lord Byron's English Bards and Scotch Reviewers: A Satire (London, 1809) in the hand of Mary Jane Ormsby Gore whose signature, dated 10 March 1816, appears on f. i verso (ff. 1-58, rectos only); together with a further transcript, of Byron's 'The Lament of Tasso', in the hand of Mrs Frances Morres Gore, whose initials, dated 23 July 1823, appear on f. 63 verso (ff. 59-63 verso).
A Civil War letter, 9 July 1645, from John Byron, 1st Baron Byron of Rochdale, to Col. Sir John Owen of Clenennau has been tipped in on f. iii, probably because its author, like the poet, was a Byron.
