|a The copy in blue morocco kept with Lady Di's drawings in the Beauclerk Closet. When Horace Walpole described the Beauclerk Closet in detail in the Description of the Villa, 1784, he recorded a copy of the Mysterious Mother kept in a drawer of the writing table, 'bound in blue leather and gilt.' On a flyleaf of the book he wrote: 'This copy is to be kept in the Beauclerck CIoset to explain Lady Di's drawings. H.W.' Mr. H.M. Nixon believes this was bound by the man who bound the presentation copy of Wood's Essay on Homer.
