Special markings


This first edition has a hand written poem added to it on one of the pages in the first volume.  There is no indication of the date but the handwriting is old it the poem was there when the book was rebound so it is at least 100 years old.  Given the faded ink and old English, it does appear to have been written shortly after the book was originally purchased.  Please see the picture.
