Immediate Source of Acquisition

This collection was donated by G.V. Stelzenmuller III, whose father owned this textbook when he was a student at an Alabama university in the 1930s. Notes on the verso of the cover suggest that this book may have been previously owned by A.P. Bloom and Eugene E. Reasy (Veasey?), both likely students of Johns Hopkins University.
