Most drawings are identified. Only one drawing is signed: "J. Haddow". The front flyleaf gives mileage between towns and villages beginning with Rotherham and continuing through Derbyshire and what is now Greater Manchester and finally to Ulverston (Lanscashire), perhaps a clue to the start and end of the trip; below this list is a sketch of a tree (orientation, reversed). The drawings, many over the two-page openings, include; three sketches of the ruins of Fountains Abbey, North Yorkshire; one sketch of parkland from Goldsborough Hall, North Yorkshire, followed by thirteen blank leaves; four sketches of Osberton Hall, Notinghamshire; three sketches of Tickhill Castle, South Yorkshire; twelve sketches of Sandbeck Park, South Yorkshire that include the ruins of Roche Abbey; and finally, a small sketch of the gate at Sandbeck Park on the back flyleaf (verso).

"A cow representing the commerce of Great Britain stands passively on the sea-shore while an American with a feathered cap saws off her horns; one horn lies on the ground. A Dutchman milks the cow ... France, a foppishly-dressed Frenchman, and Spain, a don in slashed doublet and cloak, hold bowls of milk. In the foreground lies the British lion asleep, unconscious of a pug-dog which stands on his back befouling him. Behind the lion stands a plainly-dressed Englishman clasping his hands in despair. In the background across the sea is a town inscribed Philadelphia; in front of it on the shore, two men on a minute scale (General and Admiral Howe) are seated at a table. Both are asleep, a punch-bowl is on the table... Beside them, laid up on dry land is a man-of-war inscribed Eagle (Howe's flag-ship.)" -- George
