The copy resided in the library of the Earls of Bute. It has the 19th-century armorial bookplate on the front pastedown "Mountstuart", the family house on the Isle of Bute, and a characteristic (19th century) Bute library inscription in crayon reading "Logic" on the front free endpaper. There are also various early inscriptions, including "Monstewart 1706" and one beginning "Ane by the grace of god queen of great brittain", showing that the book was owned by the family within a year of publication. At the end is a long (85 plus pages) contemporary manuscript treatise on logic which looks very like young man's series of notes made at school or university. The book could well have belonged to James Stuart (ca. 1690-1723), 2nd Earl, who would have been the right age to use this book in 1706. The second Earl was father of John, the third Earl, who was to become Prime Minister under George III.
