Culture Class Collection copy has the bookplate, and accompanying shelf-mark in pencil, of the Bibliotheca Lindesiana. The Bibliotheca Lindesiana was the collection of Alexander William Crawford Lindsay (1812-1880), twenty-fifth earl of Crawford and eighth earl of Balcarres, and his only son, James Ludovic Lindsay (1847-1913), twenty-sixth earl of Crawford and ninth earl of Balcarres. The bookplate features a coat of arms (Lindsay quartering Abernethy) with the motto, "endure fort", above.

Culture Class Collection copy is closely cropped at lower margins, with loss of imprint date on title page, and occasional loss of signatures and catchwords throughout.
