註釋The scrapbook contains fourteen engravings (most by A.L. Dick), seven color lithographs, thirty-four handwritten poems (many addressed to Caroline, with some signed with first names or initials and dated from Camden, South Carolina, and Americus, Georgia), two printed poems whose engravings are separated and pasted on other pages, three handwritten notes to Caroline, two pencil sketches apparently by the same unidentified artist (a house and trees, and a sailboat on water near a castle), two silhouettes (a man and a woman), an elaborate pencilled bouquet for a calligraphic title page called A Puzzle containing the profiles of six kings and two generals, and a friendship and fountain of love token with the name Elizabeth on the bottom. Nearly all of the items in the scrapbook are silked. Laid in are a photographic reproduction of Edgeworthstown House, home of Maria Edgeworth, Caroline's great aunt; a typed carbon of song lyrics composed by Tommy Roberts, January 1945 (first line: Awake, awake, New Year is here); a Confederate States of America $20 bill No. 13613, Richmond, February 17, 1864, signed by P. Savage, for Treasurer; 1950s newspaper clipping of William Wordsworth's poem, From the daffodils; and typescript carbon, Excerpts from "History of an Old and Almost Forgotten Anson County Town" by Fred J. Cox, published in the Wadesborough Messenger and Intelligencer [copied 4 March 1914 by O.N. Nicholson, Rome, Georgia] that mentions Richard Edgeworth [Caroline's grandfather].
