So my grandmother gave me some old nature books from the 1800s and I found this note stuck inside one of them…<3 <3 <3James Harrison is my name England is my nation Guildford is my dwelling place And Christ is my salvation When I am dead and in my grave And all my bones are rotten Take this book and think of me That I may not be forgotten If though art borrowed by a friend Right welcome shall he be To read to borrow not to lend But return to me  Not that imparted knowledge Doth diminish leaving store But books I often find when lent Return to me no more (Then written along the side) Let this remain it takes but little room & do not harm you -- source link
