Frontispiece, facsimile. Presentation copy: "A. R. Malden from the author 1 April 1897." Inscribed in both volumes. Augustine Birrell's copy with note stating that he was at Trinity Hall with the recipient. Inserted (pages 56-7, Volume I) is an A.L.S. (2 pages) from the author to Malden pertinent to the text. Also inserted (pages 168-9, Volume II) is an A.L.S. (3 pages) from the Bishop of Durham to Dr. Butler which is printed in the volume. A very interesting copy of this life of the author's grandfather, who was Bishop of Litchfield.
