My copy has this book-plate (ex libris) pasted inside the front cover. It has a family crest with the motto “Pour Y Parvenir” (just do it) and the name Louisa Julia Manners beneath it. This is the crest of the Manners family, with the peacock I think since the 14th century or before, although by the time an emblazon is this complex it must be fairly late, and the book here is from the 18th century.

I didn’t clean up the scan very much.
