The collection contains correspondence and five manuscript notebooks. The vast majority of the correspondence was not penned by Allibone, and a good portion of it was neither authored by him nor addressed to him. Three of the five manuscript notebooks are by Edward Everett, one was written by Baron Thomas Babington Macauley and one was composed by Allibone and his wife, Mary. Everett's manuscripts include a biography of Baron George Gordon Byron (AL 394) and of Sir Walter Scott (AL 395) as well as a copy of his speech "In Defense of the Webster Statue" (AL 398). Macauley's manuscript is a version of his unpublished History of England, and Allibone's manuscript contains, among other items, A visit to Washington Irving, as well as an autograph copy of his letter to Queen Victoria of Great Britain. Significant correspondents include George Bancroft, Henry Ward Beecher, Sir David Brewster, Elihu Burritt, Thomas Carlyle, Charles Dickens, Benjamin Disraeli, Edward Everett, Millard Fillmore, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Thomas Hartwell Horne, Washington Irving, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton, Baron Thomas Babington Macauley, R.
