The volume was purchased in a second hand bookshop in Cardiff in 1942 and taken to Chicago, USA as a present for a family friend. The recipient has been attempting to find a home for the volume since then and finally gave it to british relatives visiting her in May 2004. They, in turn, passed it onto another friend who sent it to the record office
