Custodial History
Former location: MSS 7/iii/11
Reported in University Librarian's Annual Report 1967/1968. The items appear to have been donated to the Library in 1967 by the Vice Chancellor's Office but an accompanying letter dated 6 February 1901, addressed to the Vice Chancellor from John W. Lea offers them to the University and details the provenance of the estimate. See the deposit file for this acquisition.
