Early ownership signature of John W. Taylor of St. Paul, and bookplate of the Minnesota Historical Society noting his gift. Sganzin was one-time director of maritime works in France and professor of Civil Engineering at the Ecole Polytechnique, where he delivered the lectures that formed the basis for this work.
