署簽：舊拓夫子廟堂碑，棱伽山民。鈐印：「偶然」

題跋：
(一)歐陽公云：少時書學廟堂碑，當時甚完好，後見已殘剝。有金石雖堅，尚不能自保之歎。按此碑自宋至明萬歷以前拓者，永宣金石等字皆存。自明至乾隆初年拓者，字口尚肥。後則浮面磨去一層，字形細削，然用筆之意尚存，不至如九成之屢磨失真。余舊藏明季拓一本，文中多九字後款，多“推、誠、奉、義、翊、戴、功”七字，比此本雖前數十年，然字口亦不過相髣髴耳。棱伽山民。鈐印：「子長」(二鈐)
(二)我生孤癖本無鄰，已外浮名更外身。消遣百年須底物，他時留與學書人。集蘇詩句漫題。鈐印：「子長」

另顧大昌題跋有四，分別寫於咸豐十年(1860)、咸豐十一年(1861)、同治元年(1862)及乙丑(1865)二月，文略。
