Flyleaf with shelfmarks/pressmark, MS Harley 5910.i

Flyleaf with layers of shelfmarks/pressmarks in John Bagford's album of manuscript notes and scraps, British Library, MS Harley 5910.i. These marks show that this volume was part of Harley's library before it was absorbed into the British Museum in 1753; thus it is likely Bagford assembled it himself. A note in Bagford's hand suggests this flyleaf was once used as a portfolio cover to organize loose scraps. A later note below written by librarians Richard Garnett and W. Y. Fletcher indicates which printed fragments were removed from this volume and sent to the Department of Printed Books on January 9, 1891.
