[4.4] So wrote Carpenter in the notes to One Hundred Proofs:
[4.5] I own what apparently was Isaac Smith’s personal copy of Rowbotham’s Zetetic Astronomy, 3rd edition, published in 1881. Penciled into the front of it is “Isaac Smith, Dec. /90.” He apparently bought it from John Hampden, for the publisher’s name is crossed out on the title page and “John Hampden, Croydon” is stamped in purple ink. The same stamp, in the same purple ink, is on the title page of the New York Public Library’s copy of Hampden’s Chart & Compass, Sextant & Sundial, etc. Hampden moved to Croydon in mid-1887 and died there January 22, 1891.
