Scope and content
The entries were probably written as events were unfolding. The book opens with a summary of the highlights of the preceding 3 years and reflects the political ferment of the times by one who neither sympathized with James II nor welcomed the prospect of a Dutch sovereign. Under 20 October he writes, "Everybody being almost besotted with this notion" that it will be a merry invasion.

Provenance
The book belonged to Westby in 1707. Formerly assumed to be in his hand, it has since been identified as possibly by Peter Le Neve (see Wolfe, Heather. "A manuscript misattribution?" http://collation.folger.edu/2013/03/a-manuscript-misattribution/).
Prior to October 1978 bound with three other works as Folger MS V.a.350. Other three works now shelved as V.a.350, V.a.470 and V.a.471.
