Found in University College London Library in 1982; probably part of the Bunnell Lewis library, bequeathed to the College in 1908.
Most of the notes are not in Lewis's hand. They are draft footnotes and suggestions for a preface for an illustrated edition of Juvenal, apparently produced by Lewis's students, though not published. There are other notes on classical archaeology and philology, and also notes on the Turkish language.
