BAC: British Art Center copy: "At front is the 19th-century bookplate of Arthur Hugh Smith Barry (Marbury Hall), who was apparently responsible for rebacking and repairs to the binding. The original vellum pasted-downs are bound in at the front and back. Another of Barry's bookplates is on the front vellum paste-down. Manuscript notes in several contemporary hands are present on both vellum leaves. These are in English and Latin, referring to legal citations. This volume was sold in the Marbury Hall sale (22 May 1933). From Sir Arthur Howard."--Grolier Club.
