Small hardback notebook in full calf binding, with tooled gilt morocco leather label on front cover embossed ‘Members of the Limerick Club’ in gold on the front cover. The book contains a list of some 700 names of club members, grouped in rough alphabetical order by surname initial. An alphabetical index at the beginning of the book gives the page numbers on which corresponding names can be found. Information relating to each member is limited to their surname and first name, except for military officers whose rank and regiment are included, usually at the expense of their first name. Many of the names have been crossed out, presumably indicating members who had died or left the club. Some of these have been crossed out with such a heavy hand as to render them illegible.
