	a) Notes on Greek, Egyptian, and Asiatic empires (see no. 135); algebra problems (inside front endboard).
	b) Inscription (1r, see  Description  above; 1v, blank).
	c) Title page (2r, see  Description  above; 2v blank).
	d) Practical geometry problems (3r-26v). Each page is devoted to a single problem, consisting of a heading ( Problem I,   Problem II,  etc., each heading decorated with flourishes, as described in  Description  above); a prose statement of the problem; and an elegant diagram that carries out the the problem. There are 48 problems total. Problem 44 is missing its roman numeral in the heading, which reads simply  Problem.  Problems 46-48 are missing their prose statements.
	This portion of the notebook bears out Duncan K. Wilson’s remark about methods of teaching arithmetic (at least in Scotland and up through the eighteenth century, which are the limits of his study), namely that  it was customary for the master to dictate rules and examples which the pupil slavishly reproduced in his copybook in beautiful copperplate writing  (The History of Mathematical Teaching in Scotland to the End of the Eighteenth Century [London: University of London Press, 1935], 45). The same must have been true of geometry instruction, which tended to be practically oriented (Wilson, pp. 57, 82). A few specimens of text will serve to indicate the nature of all 48 problems. In manuscript, each of the following texts is accompanied by a diagram that demonstrates its respective problem in geometrical drawing: 

Problem I
	 From a point C in a given line AB to raise a perpendicular to that line.

Problem II
	To divide a given right line AB into two equal parts that is to bisect it.

Problem III
	From a given point D to let fall a perpendicular on a given line AB.

Ruskin, for whom no copying task could prove too obsessive, may have enjoyed this practical labor, although he complained bitterly about his more abstract mathematics instruction (see no. 173).
	e) Five neatly copied rules of proportion, e.g.,  If the line a = b / And the line c = b / Then will the line c = a  (27r-28r).
	f) Small pencil and watercolor landscape drawings over top of geometrical figures (28v-29r).
	g) Algebraic exercises, pencil and ink (29v-38v, plus inside back endboard). Also on endpaper: pencil drawing of a gothic edifice, perhaps a cathedral entrance.
	h) Between 38v and endpaper, at least 4 pages removed, of which the stubs remain.
