This battered volume is inscribed ‘Taken by me from the Redan on the morning of the 9th of Sepr 1855. Fredk J. Holt Beever MA, Fellow of Jesus Coll: Oxford’. It was presumably being read by one of the defenders during the siege of Sebastopol in the Crimean War. The Revd Holt Beever presented it to the Bodleian in 1856.
