Additional Comments:
Attribution is based on internal evidence and is tentative.
Though the book was eventually owned by John Drummond Erskine and the annotation is similar in style to others in this library, there is another inscription on p. 3: "15 August 1804 .... 2 Mon ...". It could be that of a previous owner.
