In most instances the presence of marginalia is unwelcome, at best. Here, though, the writer of marginalia is not just informed, but appears to possess an authority greater than the author's. Presumably that's Theoda Coolidge, who wrote her name on the front free endpaper. She was married to Leigh Coolidge, famed naval architect and yacht designer, and was herself a pioneer by birth, having been born in Washington State in 1870. The block prints are quite striking. Increasingly scarce. SMITH, 3740; SOLIDAY I: 1448.
