On both title pages is the neat ink inscription 'Easter Day April 19th 1835'. The 'Hilare' refers to Hilare Knight, the daughter of Admiral Sir Robert Barlow. Following the death of her first husband she married, in 1829, the much older and recently widowed Reverend William Nelson (1757 -1835), brother of Horatio Nelson. Upon whose death in 1805, William had been created first Earl Nelson (Horatio having only been a Viscount). Hilare, now styled the dowager Countess Nelson, married George Thomas Knight (1795-1867), nephew of Jane Austen, being the son of Austen's brother Edward Knight. A beautiful set with most interesting associations.
