    Victorian children's book by a popular and prolific author of the period. Per inscription, presented as a school prize. May be scare as this used book site only has one comparable copy. Keep in mind these are asking prices not sold prices. As with any collecting area, scare doesn't necessarily mean valuable. The sticker may have been applied by the school. Per the listing below NSD is short for the publisher National Society's Depository. There's language around the image in the applied piece which may be the school motto. A close-up might help.

    The fellow on your cover looks like he has a sword through his head.

    A boy's school, I'd think. Form 2 would be, I believe, 12-13 year olds which seems right for writer and subject. "Oxon" most likely stands for "Oxford" which could limit your search.
