The long list of subscribers includes senior members of the Royal Family, (with the King and Queen taking 24 copies each), and numerous noble families, with over half the subscribers being women. A supplementary list records subscribers in Scotland 'not arriving in time for insertion in their alphabetical order.'. Little is known of Catherine, and this appears to be her only published work. D'Oyly family members recorded in the subscribers list are headed by Sir John D'Oyly, the first baronet and Resident of Kandy, who was the second son of Archdeacon Mathias D'Oyly of Sussex.

We could not find much information about Catherine DÕOyly in the sources available to us, though the entry for the DÕOyly lineage in the Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the British Empire (1839) lists a Catherine DÕOyly among the family. Catherine, born sometime between 1753 and 1764, was the daughter of the Reverend Sir Hadley DÕOyly, 5th Baronet (c. 1709Ð1764). The list of subscribers in the present work, which includes the King and Queen as well as several princes and princesses, additionally suggests the authorÕs aristocratic lineage.
