The book later belonged to John Matthew Gutch (1776-1861) who added to it; Gutch later used the book as the basis for an article in The Reliquary (XIX [1787-1789]: 157-160) where he wrote "Some of the following vestiges of English archery are contained in a commonplace book formerly belonging to Mr. Haslewood, collected by him as an appendix to a meditated edition of Robin Hood Ballads; others have been collected by the present writer" (The Reliquary XIX: 157); this description is copied on a tipped-in leaf in the volume. A few of the items mentioned by Gutch are no longer present in the volume. - Extent
