From the collection of Shaw, Robert, 1839-1879.
Given to the Library by a certain "Gen. Younghusband" in December 1880, probably Major General John William Younghusband, brother-in-law to explorer Shaw, Robert, 1839-1879. (Explorer Younghusband, Francis Edward, Sir, 1863-1942, John William's son, was never a General, and in any case was too young to have donated this manuscript to the library, having only been born in 1863.)
