Thomas Le Marchant or to Thomas Le Marchant, both of Guernsey (an island in the English Channel, off the coast of Normandy) and both mentioned in the publication, "A Roll of Honour," a catalogue of book and manuscript collectors in Great Britain and British colonies (published in 1971 by William Carew Hazlitt). ; Manuscript Notes : In pencil, upper left corner: "C.3.28" (erased), verso: "55,214. ; Personal
