At the beginning of volume 1 is a letter by Robert Robinson to W.E. Adams dated 1886 explaining the background to this copy. ''[It] originally belonged to a gentleman named Bacon... [who] amused himself through many years by collecting local engravings etc. to illustrate this work, and employed a Scene-painter at the Theatre, to make him drawings of old Buildings, very many of which have disappeared since then''. Bacon intended the volumes to be given to the Library of the Literary and Philosophical Society but died whilst the volumes were being bound and they were subsequently sold at auction. The lettering on the upper cover reveals the artist to be J. Gomperts.
