On the verso of the front free endpaper, one of Heber Mardon's sons (Ernest or Evelyn) has recounted the story of how the family knew Stanley: 'My brother Reggie had a friend, an American Major Pond, who was running Stanley's lecturing tour. In this way Stanley came to stay for a couple of days with my parents. I was at Cambridge so did not meet him. My sister Effie was a guest at his wedding in 1890. Effie and I had tea with her [Dorothy].'
