Manuscript inscription on the half title page "To Alfred D. Shanks from his mother 1888". This would be Alfred David Shanks (b. 1878), the youngest son named in Hew Scott's biographical note on Agnes Bowie Shanks's husband, the Rev. David Shanks (1828-1887). Likely that Alfred was Agnes's youngest child to survive childhood.
