This book contains 314 pages of textile samples, including different colourways of the same pattern. The pages are divided by season with lighter silks for the summer and heavier ones for the winter. Small patterns woven on shafts, 'foot figures', precede drawloom-woven patterns. Patterns for several years precede the first date, 1774, written on samples on pp. 53 and 63. From p. 67 the pages are dated, starting January 1775. The initials 'B.H.P.', for Batchelor, Ham and Perigal, occur from p. 125 onwards. The names of the journeymen who were to carry out the orders are frequently given. The seasons then follow regularly with a notes of different types of material. The book appears to follow T.375-1972 in which there are no dates, but the styles at the end of the latter resemble closely those at the beginning of this volume.
