Double Wow back. That is truely amazing. Now that means your great Great uncle lived at Dudley House and he was obviously a subscriber to this book which is a book called "The complete concordance or the Poems and Songs of Robert burns" and is pretty academic work . There is a list of about 100 names in the back and libraries etc that obviously subscribed to the work. Your great great uncle has a sticker in the inside cover that has a coat of arms presumably the Ellis logo I need to look that up with the inscription Forte et Fidele and he has signed it and it was given as a present to a name which is really hard to decipher but my best guess is Catherine Orr or Obb. So he was quite young when he sent this and I must have been a man of means? I live in Shropshire where the book obvioulsly has been. How interesting. I love stuff like this
