Time period1800 - 1843
Provenance TypeExlibris
NoteThis book contains the smaller and simpler version of the Duke of Sussex's ex libris, which "consists of his crest within the garter, surmounted by the ducal coronet." See "Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773–1843)"; http://www.manuscripts.org.uk/provenance/collectors/Sussex/Sussex.htm). While most of the Duke of Sussex's books were collected between 1819 and 1830 with the help of Thomas Joseph Pettigrew, it is possible that this book was acquired by the Duke somewhat earlier or later in his lifetime, hence the ownership date range given here is 1800-1843. To further clarify this date range, the book was likely sold off in 1843 when the Duke died to help pay his debts. Regarding the Duke of Sussex's book collection and the debts he incurred, see "Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773–1843)"; http://www.manuscripts.org.uk/provenance/collectors/Sussex/Sussex.htm.

Bibliographic Evidence
Shelfmark
NoteWhen the Duke of Sussex died in 1843, much of his library was sold off to pay his debts. This is likely the earliest time at which Worcester could have acquired the book. However, in the absence of more information, it is difficult to establish the exact year of acquisition with any certainty, and it could quite possibly be after 1843. In fact, Oxford colleges rarely bought books directly from sales of this kind, and so it is highly likely that there was an intermediary owner. Regarding the sale of the Duke of Sussex's books, see "Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773–1843)"; http://www.manuscripts.org.uk/provenance/collectors/Sussex/Sussex.htm). The book contains a Worcester College ex libris.
