Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy D.150a.76 belonged to Robert Southey; it has his bookplate, autograph, and the following memorandum, written by him: "The Rimas form only the latter half of the volume; but it is remarkable that this latter half is dated a year earlier than the former. This copy belonged to the academician Joze Soares da Silva, author of the Memorias del R.D. Joam 1. His autograph is on the title-page. The reason is, that the title-page to the 'Rimas' comes at p. 94, in the middle of a sheet, and could not conveniently be cancelled and changed, as was the title-page to the 'Patron de Espana,' with which this volume opens."
