Capt. King was born in Clitheroe in 1750 and attended CRGS before joining the Navy at the age of 12. He left at 24 and studied in Paris and l a t e r a t O x fo rd University.
Dating back to the late 18th century, the book was discovered in Wales by association member Mr Kenneth Bowker, who recognised it as an important piece of the school’s history.
