The inside of the cover has Bookplate with Crest of Robert Alexander Benjamin Hamilton, 12th Lord Belhaven and Stenton (1903–1961) or possibly the bookplate of Robert Anthony Carmichael Hamilton (1927–2020)
"Robert Alexander Benjamin Hamilton, 12th Lord Belhaven and Stenton (16 September 1903 – 10 July 1961), was a Scottish soldier, colonial administrator, author, and peer. He was a Fellow of both the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons."
Robert Anthony Carmichael Hamilton was not as active in the heredity of his late father but did serve in the military. 
I believe the crest is from the the 12th Lord, the paper is older and the steel plate engraving leads me to believe this is from circa 1920's, pre WWII printing.
Please see the image of the Bookplate for more details.
