Copy-specific note

Inscription at head of 1st upper endleaf: "2/7".

Copy-specific note

Pages 91-92: six contiguous bars numbered, in pencil: "1 2 3 4 5 6".

Copy-specific note

Inscription, in pencil, at head of page 167: "Anthem [page] 168 - verses 13, 14 - Chap 7th. Rev". Alterations in pencil on page 168: the first note, high F for the soprano, marked an octave lower (preceded, on page 167, by the letter 'E'); two notes of the alto part pencilled into the soprano part (2nd bar of the chorus); printed alto F (6th bar of the chorus) corrected to E-flat (with corresponding correction in the piano part). On page 169, in pencil, "Pno" or "Pna". It appears that this movement of the oratorio (no. 39) may have been used as a stand-alone anthem at some point.
