In its initial use, this was a fair-copy notebook used primarily for  Iteriad,  no. 91, and  Athens,  no. 135, which are fair-copied in a hand similar to, but larger than, that used for MSS IIA-E.
	Title page (1r):  ITERIAD / or / THREE WEEKS / AMONG / the / LAKES / 1831.  The title page, which Ruskin displayed in fancy lettering drawn from Butterworth’s Young Arithmetician’s Instructor: Containing Specimens of Writing with Directions (RFL 259, 261 n. 17) is reproduced in Iteriad, or Three Weeks among the Lakes, ed. James S. Dearden (Newcastle upon Tyne: Frank Graham, 1969), among the illustrations between pp. 32 and 33. Similar lettering occurs in some of Ruskin’s letters to his father in MS XI.
	On the verso of the title page, Ruskin drew another fancily lettered  Iteriad,  followed by  Book First / The argument  and a prose summary of the first book’s contents. Each of the three remaining books begins much the same way, without  Iteriad  repeated, but with a fancy ornament separating the text of the argument from the poem.
	Title page (59r):  ATHE[NS / OR THE]  and on the verso (59v)  [Canto First],  with the bracketed letters representing what Ruskin only sketched in pencil from his orthography primer, without finishing the letters in ink. At the top of the following page, halfway down on which begins the poem, Ruskin penciled  [THE ARGUMENT]  and left a space for a prose summary, like those that begin the books of  Iteriad. 
	Tipped in between the front marbled flyleaves, Wedderburn(?) added a page on which is pasted a description of MS VII clipped from PJR, as was done for other manuscripts that Collingwood had already described. On this sheet, Wedderburn(?) provides information about material tipped in at the back of MS VII:  His father’s copy of ‘The Gipsies’ & ‘The Exile of St Helena,’ formerly in one thin copybook have now been inserted in this book.
