The library and museum of the Hartley Institution were presented with manuscript collections from a number of sources, many to do with Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, others reflecting an eclectic view of 'curiosities' that could be acquired in a seaport. Where it is has been possible to reconstitute the original collections, that has been done and these materials have separate numbers in the sequence of manuscripts. There remained a small group of material, mainly single items, which were acquired by the Hartley Institution, and these have been grouped together to form MS 2.

These are inserted as notes, not incorporated in the main text. The advertisement for the second edition is also inserted, and the text is preceded by three letters from Englefield to Baker, the printer, containing later additions. There are occasional notes by the printer in the text and a few other additions. At the beginning are three pages of manuscript in an unknown hand, containing a quotation possibly from Stukeley's Itinerarium Curiosum (1724).
