Collection of notes and extracts on Astrology and Geomancy. Illustrated with numerous pen-drawn horoscopic figures. At the end of the section on geomancy is an entry stated 1828, but written later than the main text: it is signed W. A. Sculthorp, whose horoscope is on the verso of the second leaf.

Pasted inside the upper cover is an Ex-libris in verse signed 'H. Woolmer'. Below this a library-stamp in red, lettered 'The Laboratory' 48 Greek Street', the word 'Soho' which should be in the centre has missed impression.
