This copy appears to have been awarded as a Detur prize at Harvard College, although the recipient and the date it was awarded are not known. Funded by Edward Hopkins, former Governor of the Connecticut Colony, these prizes consisted of books, called Deturs, typically awarded to sophomores who had attained very high academic standing at the end of their freshman year. It was donated to the Harvard University Archives in 1982 by Burke Rivers.
