Like the previous two mss. (I.h.43 and 44) this is a small volume created by binding together a series of the small pamphlets on which Matthew Henry wrote his sermons.
The volume consists of small paper pamphlets collected into a small volume with a vellum binding.
The signature J. B. Williams appears on verso of flyleaf.
