anon : Poetical description of song birds
Inscribed in the book on the front free endpaper: This book belonged to my father William youngest son of John and Catherine Williams of Scorrier House in the year of our lord 1800. It was his favourite playbook when a boy, and he was particularly fond of the story of the starling, which he often quoted to me. It was given me by my mother in 1862 and was rebound in 1877. M.W. 20. Oct. 1877.

: National Review
'Tell Father the Huns haven't started to run yet. If he reads the September "National Review" he will be surprised at the warning of the writer against the Cabinet. It is well worth reading. It says that in the Black Week, Haldane didn't want any interference of England; Asquith didn't want any Expeditionary Force and Churchill saved the situation in ordering Fleet Mobilization "on his own" before the war. Also the Territorials at the event of war are untrained: we have no army really: all are practically recruits now in England.'
