A note to the future custodian

Keep the original Robert Stewart bookseller’s label attached: it is integral evidence of this copy’s passage through the Dublin book trade. Store upright with adequate support, away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Avoid solvents, adhesives or cleaning products on the pictorial cloth, label or endpapers; do not force the binding flat.
