Julia Powys and "CLP" could not be identified. Half green morocco album of manuscript verse, some apparently original, most copied from contemporary sources (including Amelia Opie and Lord Byron), in a few different hands; including an anonymous poem, "To a Young Lady on Her Expressing a Wish that Lord Byron Would Write Some Lines on the Much Lamented Princess Charlotte." Also included are six watercolors (a spinster at the piano; roses; "King Charles' window, Carisbrooke"; flowers; a cartoon with manuscript text, signed "CLP"; a sleeping dog); four ink drawings (a series of a lady and gentleman dancing; a bird, laid in; "Map of Matrimony," signed "CLP"; a man in study); one inserted scrap of manuscript music ("Russian Dances") and one engraved map of France. On the front cover is a green morocco label lettered in gilt: "ALBUM / JULIA POWYS / 1819.".
