| Description | Commonplace book of poetry. Inscribed on the second free endpaper "Poetry by my father Edward Hart", but the as the poems it contains appear to be copied from various sources this presumably means that Hart was the copyist.

Various printed and manuscript verses on loose paper tucked into the end of the volume, some initialled EH. |
