Copy HistoryPencil number "5260" at lower left of rear pastedown cannot be identified with any provenance. [19th century]
Physical DescriptionThere is some question about the genuineness of the first leaf, or at least whether it was original to this copy, and whether the border is original or in facsimile, but it appears correct.
