Edmund Stanley Pollock Haynes (1877-1949), the original owner of the volume, was Kings Scholar at Eton; as a prolific author and man-about-town, he was well known in literary circles in London in the early 20th century and almost certainly acquainted with Roger Senhouse, whose inscription includes the note " March 1949 E.S.P.H. sale " indicating that he obtained the volume from Haynes' estate. Senhouse (1899-1970) was a peripheral member of the Bloomsbury group and co-owner of publishing house Secker and Warburg who printed the works of major authors such as George Orwell, Gunter Grass and Melvyn Bragg; Senhouse is also known for his secret 1930s sado-masochistic relationship with Lytton Strachey.

1 vols. 8vo. First edition. First edition. 1 vols. 8vo. Edited by M.R. James and A. B. Ramsay. The Spectator, 20 Nov. 1926 "In Mr. Luxmoore, Eton has lost the figure which had become there for the time the best loved and revered. To a great age his clear-cut features continued to remind one of the best Italian medal- portraits. His generosity to the School was great in many directions. His knowledge and sense of art and architecture made him an arbiter of taste. But his most abiding mark will be on the characters of innumerable boys and, we venture to say, of masters too. He inspired high motives and principles by expecting them. No one with a mean thought in his heart could come before Mr. Luxmoore's eye and not feel ashamed." E.W. Stone was a master at Eton as was his father before him. Reynolds Stone (1909-1979) was born at Eton and educated there. With a loosely inserted autograph letter to "Ned" from Constance. Rogers 335 Blue cloth. Inscribed from Reynolds Stone to his father on front pastedown "E.W. Stone/ from his son Christmas 1929." Reynolds Stone bookplate of Stuart Schimmel. Signed.
