The front pastedown and the front free endpaper have the terms of subscription to "Wilson & Co.'s Circulating Library, Hyde-Hill, Berwick". In the 1820s there was a J. Wilson, bookseller in Hyde-Hill, and this may have been where that library was situated. The Library is recorded in Robin Alston's Library History of Scotland database. That dababase records the library being run by one John Wilson, and with the library existing from 1811 to 1858.
