Notes | Though it is not entirely clear from the information provided by the bookplate whether Le Marchant is the originator's first name, and Thomas, the last name or whether Le Marchant Thomas is the entire last name (with no first name provided). However, it seems likely that this bookplate belonged either to L. M. 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).
