A manuscript addition on the inside front cover reads 'This book was bought at Metcalfes for the sum of 2"6 about 12.15pm on Tuesday March 3rd 1868 by Robert Neville, Sec & Tres. These are stormy times for the MCB, it being somewhat split up by the party spirit, men being stingy in paying up their subscription & it not receiving proper support from men in the Coll of a different "persuasion".

A new boat is just ready to be launched & which must be paid for somehow. R.N.'
