A note was found within the book, typed "Of the few copies of this book I have seen for sale in recent years, all have lacked the Engraved Frontispiece of the Stuart Royal Family. H. Bradshaw".
The note appears to have been typed on a typewriter and is undated. The "H. Bradshaw" referred in the note could potentially be Henry Bradshaw (1831-886) who was a scholar and librarian. He worked as an assistant at the Cambridge University Library. He conducted research into manuscripts and early printed books found in the library which did not posses previous catalogues.
