'A Catalogue of ye Books at Mostyn' (ff. 2-12). The text in two columns is confined to the recto side of each folio. The verso side is blank except for additions on f. 6 verso. Only the surnames of authors and short titles of works are given. The works are arranged according to shelf and division. It was compiled not before 1713 (includes seven volumes of the Spectator). Folios 12 verso-80 are blank, and are followed by an incomplete 'Catalogue of Bookes att Gloddaith 1692' (f. 80 verso, inverted text), listing only thirteen items. The verso sides of ff. 76-79 are ruled. This was the first use of the book. There is an index to the MS on f. 1 verso.
