Bookplate on the inside cover reads: "'Christ's Hospital. From the Gift of George Moore Esq, a Governor of the Hospital 1849-1876, A Prize, intended as an encouragement to the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, awarded to 'E.W. Krog March 1930'"
"The Greeks, who were very fond of this race, coined a proverbial phrase from it. Translated it runs: "Let the torch-bearers hand on the flame to the others" or "Let those who have the light pass it on." That relay-race of torch-bearers is a living picture of the wonderful relay-race of heroes who, right through the centuries, have, with dauntless courage and a scorn of danger and difficulty, passed through thrilling adventures in order to carry the Light across the continents and oceans of the world."
