This book presented to
Sir Walter Nugent Bt. M.P.,
by Janice Nugent
Sept 1908

There was indeed a Sir Walter Richard Nugent, Baronet (1865 – 1955), of Donore, Multyfarnham, Co. Westmeath, Ireland, it seems.

I have also made a separate image with just the family crest, or coat of arms, in a larger size.
