J.E. Brain query
Hi:
I am not a Brain, but I recently purchased an 18th century novel (published 1783). The original owner appears to have been a J.E. Brain as that's what was signed in quill and ink in the back of all three volumes.
I bought the book from a dealer in Ohio and was hoping someone might have an idea of whom this person may have been. It was likely the first owner because they penned their name on the back inside cover, which was traditional during the late 18th century.
Any light you can shed would be much appreciated.
