Among the incidents recounted are the death by suicide of one of his men during an assignment to transport ammunition (ff. 8-11); [George W. Stone] performing Electro-Biology [i.e. hypnotism] experiments on some of his men (ff. 26 verso, 29 verso-30); several visits to the Great Exhibition in London (ff. 39 verso-43 verso passim); attending the Cork garrison races, [21] April 1852 (ff. 86-87 verso); and a riot by paupers at Cork workhouse, [9] May 1852 (f. 90 recto-verso).

An incomplete manuscript copy, in an unknown hand of the mid-seventeenth century, of Robert, Prior of Shrewsbury, The Admirable Life of Saint Wenefride..., translated from the Latin by I[ohn] F[alconer] ([Saint-Omer], 1635, STC 21102) (pp. 5-104).
The Life consists of two Books, the first comprising 22 Chapters, the second 16 Chapters; the surviving transcript consists of Book I from near the beginning of Chapter 7 to the beginning of Chapter 21 (pp. 5-68), Book II from the end of Chapter 3 to the beginning of Chapter 11 (pp. 69-100), and part of Book II, Chapter 16 (pp. 101-104). Based on the surviving original pagination, it is probable that the transcript was originally complete: there are approximately 20 leaves missing before p. 5 (original pagination p. [41]), and eight between p. 68 (p. 104) and p. 69 (p. 121); an unknown number are missing after p. 100 (p. [1]52), however only half of the final paragraph of Chapter 11 is lacking.
