Arranged in four groups: I. Vocal scores (1). II. Librettos (4). III. Promptbooks (1 in 4 vols.). IV. Dialogue parts (9).

The vocal score, published by Chappell (London, 184-), includes a manuscript prologue by W.P. Cunnington bound in front. The librettos represent three published editions (Philadelphia, 1867; New York, 1849?; and one lacking t.p.) and bear various signatures, including Caroline Richings, Peter Richings (presumably of the celebrated Richings Opera Troupe), and Anne Seguin. The manuscript promptbook, in four volumes, also bears Caroline M. Richings' signature and includes publicity material pasted into the front of the prologue. The dialogue parts are also manuscript and bear the Richings' signatures.
