Source text(s):Provenance:
Clemens wrote these notes in a copy of Facsimiles of National Manuscripts from William the Conqueror to Queen Anne, Part 2, which had been given to him in 1874 by Thomas Duffus Hardy, compiler of the series of old English documents. The volume was sold from Clemens’s personal library by Anderson Galleries in 1911. In 2001 it was purchased by Mark Godburn, proprietor of The Bookmark in Salisbury, Connecticut, who provided a photofacsimile to CU-MARK.
