Annotated copy of S R Driver's commentary on the Book of Genesis

Ninth edition (1913) of Driver's publication which has in parts been annotated by Rev J Rossendale S Law. Annotations appear to be translations of small sections of the text into Mende, possibly in 1940s or 1950s, although Law had owned this book since January 1917.
