The Estate Collection of Mr. Clifford Poole, Chapel Hill, NC , CEO of Chapel Hill's internationally acclaimed publishing house Hinshaw Music, Inc.

The inscription appears to be from the 19th century and shares some similarities with known Mendelssohn writing, however we cannot verify it was actually penned by the composer named.

Age toning and soiling to the book; the inscription remains clear.
