Diagrams, also in black ink, include: f. 67v (outer margin) mortar and pestle; f. 67v (lower margin) man driving a cart pulled by two oxen; f. 69v (lower margin) plow, with parts labelled., The manuscript is in poor condition with loss of text due to: faded ink, water stains, worm-holes, and repaired leaves., and Binding: between 1800 and 1829. Tan, diced goatskin, gold-tooled. Bound by C. Lewis (active in London 1807-36).
