Provenance trumps content. There is within this copy the signature of Malcolm M.Maenaghten and a art nouveau style bookplate of Antonia and Malcolm Maenaghten. In the words of Wikipedia he, Sir Malcolm Martin Macnaghten KBE, QC (12 January 1869 – 24 January 1955), was a Northern Ireland Unionist politician and judge, the fourth son of Lord Macnaghten, Bt. - and his wife Antonia was daughter of Charles James Booth, shipowner and social reformer.
