Manuscript, in one primary hand, of a collection of about 50 verses inscribed both by friends and by the writer herself. The first ten poems, written in different hands and dated between 1824 and 1825, are addressed to "Emma," and express sentiments of friendship and sorrow at parting. The remainder of the volume is in one hand, and is a collection of sentimental poetry by such writers as George Byron; Felicia Hemans; Sir Walter Scott; and Robert Montgomery. Many of the poems are by Mary Anne Browne, including To my sister with an ivy wreath on her birthday; The withered rose; and The morning star. Other titles from this section include The dying gladiator, by a very young lady; The poor hindoo; On seeing a negro funeral, by Mr. Edwards; and The day of the funeral of the Duke of Wellington, dated November 18, 1852.
