Provenance

Inscription on verso of 2nd flyleaf: "This book long in the possession of Miss Jane Chapman, came into the hands of Jane Mary Dampier, her cousin, in February 1868. It may possibly, from the date and the joined hands on the clasps, and the device on the centre medallion of the cover, have been a wedding present to our ancestor, Lord Falkland." However, the most likely Lord Falkland (Lucius Cary, 2nd viscount Falkland, 1610-43) was married to Letitia Morison in 1630 (their eldest son was baptised on July 1632), so this volume, which includes 2 items dated 1633, is unlikely to relate to that marriage. No other appropriate members of the Cary/Falkland or Dampier families have been traced.

Provenance
