The armorial bookplate on the front pastedown of this volume identifies the volume as having belonged to one William Cutting. The bookplate itself is the work of an engraver named P.R. Maverick, likely a member of the Maverick family who worked as engravers in New York and New Jersey between about 1750 and 1850. A small label, giving only the name of Dr. Joseph M. Gardner and a street address in Augusta, Georgia, is pasted in partially overlapping with Cutting's bookplate.
