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. |
