Inscribed on the front preliminary page "To David Scott Duncan with J[ohn] Kerr's Kindest regards, 1902." John Kerr is the author of the The Golf-Book of East Lothian and David Scott Duncan was the editor of the The Golfing Annual, which was published annually, from 1888 to 1910. "Told in the first person, this handsome volume includes many of the club's poems, or lays, as they were called, which were written to honor members on special occasions. The recollections of the two authors make interesting reading and are valuable in helping to fill out our knowledge of early golf" - Murdoch 8; Donovan & Murdoch 5040.
