Oxford") on the ffep, about 78 of the first 90 pages contain pencil markings and notations by Day; sometimes these consist merely of underlining, but on many pages he has added marginal notes; the rear pastedown & about ten other pages also contain markings and/or notes by him; the book shows toning to the spine, minor wear & soiling, but overall a tight copy.
