Front fixed endpapers have small bookbinder's label: "Douron Relieur Grenoble." Half title and title page in volume one and two initial pages in volume two bear the purple stamp of former owner Philip Bayard, which contains his name in Roman letters with additional lettering in Arabic. Philip Bayard (1872-1911) was descended from a long line of political and financial leaders in Philadelphia and Delaware - he was a great-great-grandson of Thomas Willing and the son, grandson, brother, and nephew of numerous prominent Bayards. From 1906 (or earlier) to 1908 he served as American Vice Consul General in Morocco, where he probably acquired this and a number of other works in French, which he marked with this distinctive stamp combining the Roman and Arabic alphabets. A small pencilled note tied on page 934 appears to be the instructions to the binder from Bayard: "M Bayard maroquin rouge tete doree ébordée" [roughly translated: red morroco with gilded top edge]. Tragically, he died in 1911, having jumped or fallen from the third-floor window of a hospital in Washington, D.C.
