Copy-specific note
Loose inside: letter from Walter Partridge, of 21 The Close, to Suzanne Eward (librarian) dated 8th August 1988, as well as various notes about the book, all of which are now in the Loose Inserts Box. Further correspondence between Walter Partridge and Suzanne Eward, relating to this book, is in the Reference Collection Additional Information File (under Walton, Isaac : Isaak Walton's Life of George Herbert). According to this correspondence, the book was borrowed from Salisbury Cathedral Library by the binder Harry Bailey (who mentioned the book in his Short notes on the bookbindings of Salisbury Cathedral Library, p. 7), who later exchanged it for an Aldine belonging to Mr Partridge. Mr Partridge realised that the book in fact belonged to the Cathedral Library, and returned it in August 1998. The whereabouts of the Aldine was unknown.
