As a note of provenance, this book was previously owned by Andrew David, Lieutenant Commander of the Royal Navy. His book plate is on the front free end paper.

A bookplate on the front paste down states, "From the library of The Rt. Hon. Malcolm MacDonald, P.C., O.M." Another interesting note is on the front free end paper. "Miss Gardner King, From Hon.
