Hardcover. 8vo. pp xxxiv, 98. Original publisher's blue cloth, lettered gilt on spine. The book has the ownership signature of Ronald Edmond Balfour (1922) on the front endpaper. This is almost certainly Ronald Edmond Balfour, who among other things, wrote a bibliography for E.M Forster's 1934 book on Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson. In World War 2 he was something of a hero and there is much on him at the Monuments Men site. He had a huge book collection and went to Eton and King's College Cambridge (hence the Forster connection.) Possibly inspired by Canon Kynaston's acrostics (and double acrostics) he wrote out an alphabet at the end of the book. It is headlined 'Camp Alphabet from the ECC of October 10th 1872.' This is probably the Eton Cadet Corps, who are still in existence (David Cameron was a member- hence his fondness for The Jam's Eton Rifles.). Also hand-written translation of a poem, 'St. Anthony of Lucca' on the verso rear endpaper. Faint foxing to endpapers, with slight rubbing at spine ends, otherwise very good plus.…
