Chiefly consists of a typescript draft identified as "The Rejected Chapter from Life of LFR"; four images of Roubiliac's works; a pen-and-ink design for the title page created by Martin Esdaile; and two typescript and one manuscript transcriptions of "A Catalogue of the Genuine and Entire Collection of Models, Moulds, Casts and Busts in Terra Cota, Marble and Bronze of Mr. L.F. Roubiliac ... at his late Dwelling House in St. Martin's Lane ... May 1762," which was reproduced in the book.

Much of this book is scarcely legible, and seems to consist of research notes on the Roubiliac family and on commissions by year (from 1742 on). Also church registers at St. Martin's and of "Foreign Churches at Somerset House" (both in London).
