The volume dated c 1720 was probably obtained by Robert Rutson James in 1925. James' bookplate is in the inside front cover, and a note at the top of the first page says 'R R James, June 20 1925 from C O'. A note on this page explains that C O is Cecil Ogle, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, who died in 1931. The Library Donation book records the deposit of an 'Albinus MS' from R R James in 1931, which is likely to be this volume.
There is no such information in the volume dated c 1718.
