Book-plate in all volumes.
All volumes include presentation slip from Wesley College, December 1912, awarding to R.G. Menzies for '(1) Original Poem (2) Essay, Open to the Whole School'; gift of Mr C.L. Andrews and Mr H. Stewart.
Also embossed on front cover with 'Wesley College Melbourne' and motto 'Sapere aude'.
Volume 2 includes two newspaper cuttings (in French) enclosed between pages 448 and 449. One is a report on the 1936 Davis Cup noting Australia's win in the doubles match. The other is called 'Le medecin et ses malades' and tells the story of a young doctor whose business increased when he began advertising that he specialised in rare diseases ('maladies rares') rather than commonplace ear, nose and throat complaints.
