Governor Lachlan Macquarie (b.1761, d.1824) sailed for New South Wales on the 22 May 1809, likely bringing this volume with him from England. It seem he passed this volume to his friend HC Antill (b.1779, d.1852), who had been appointed Justice of the Peace in 1821, shortly before leaving Sydney on 22 February 1822.
