    Robert Southey was Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1813 until his death in 1843, and is most noted as being the originator of the popular fairy tale 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'.

    A prize bookplate on the pastedown denotes that this was awarded to Miss Christina Beattie for Theory of Music by the Edinburgh Institution in 1861.
