With an autograph inscription by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
The recto of the front free endpaper is inscribed "Rossetti" in ink and below that "W. North Esq.re from his friend Gabriel D. Rossetti" in pencil. The front pastedown contains the manuscript signature "C. B. Winchester". Pasted below that is a fragment of an envelope addressed to "George Dunlop Esq. Kilmarnock Standard Kilmarnock", with a small newspaper clipping containing a note from the bookseller Walter T. Spencer, detailing the inscriptions on the front free endpaper, Spencer having sold the book to Dunlop. The letter, formerly in the envelope, is pasted to the recto of the flyleaf before the title page. It is dated 22 July 1900 and written by William Michael Rossetti, the brother of the poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. It confirms the veracity of the inscriptions on the front free endpaper. A newspaper clipping about the volume from the Nov. 1903 issue of the New York Times Review is pasted on the verso of the same flyleaf. The book was bequeathed to the Library in 1951 by George Brown Dunlop (1876-1950), the son of George Dunlop.
