'An Account of the Visit of ... the Prince Regent, the Emperor of Russia...'
'An Account of the Visit of ... the Prince Regent, the Emperor of Russia, the King of Russia, Prince Blucher, etc., etc., to the University and City of Oxford, June, 1814': written in an inflated style (beg. 'The period so long looked forward to'), and quite different from the two printed accounts.
It is unfinished, ending with a description of the conferment of the freedom of the city. (fols. 35-end are blank) Two engravings are inserted.
