At least two books have the initials H. O. inscribed, both in the same hand. Other than these initials, the provenance marks in these two books do not suggest overlapping ownership in the past. H. O. is an unknown individual or institution - any help with identification is gratefully received.
A/871 has the letters H. O. on either side of the first word of the title. A bookplate in the front of the book shows it was owned by Edmund Waterton (1830-1887), and an entry from a bookseller's catalogue has been pasted in.
