In the inside cover of the book, there is a piece of paper glued onto the page that says “The Honourable G. J. W. A. Ellis”.
Inscription of “The Honourable G. J. W. A. Ellis”
On the following page, there is a written inscription that has the name Ellis once again, followed by the year 1810. Perhaps it once belonged to this person.
“Ellis, 1810” inscription
On another page, there is a faint inscription that reads “Maria Hill, 1757”. Perhaps it belonged to her before it belonged to the Ellis family.
