Why This Copy Matters
The Lambert ex-libris and Abington deposit labels document private and institutional ownership. John Lambert Jr. is the strongly supported owner identification. A May 1974 Pennsylvania Gazette clipping survives in the housing.
Sources and Documentation
Library Company catalogue, correspondence, and copy photographs; Pennsylvania Gazette, May 1974, ‘Never underestimate…’; Philomathean alumni roll; Penn General Alumni Catalogue. The clipping records 600 second-edition copies authorized in January 1859; it does not give the first-edition print run.
