CATALOGUES OF ENGLISH BOOK SALES.

(Continued from p. 4$1> }

I OUGHT to have mentioned in my intro- ductory notice a valuable MS. list by the late Mr. Puttick of the sales of Messrs. Puttick & Simpson from 1846 to 1870. It is in the British Museum (Newspaper Room), and is arranged alphabetically. A large number of anonymous sales at this house, and within the period indicated, may be identified through this list.

Caldecott, Thos., 1833, Dec. 9 and 5 days. S. Caley, John, 1834, July 22 and 8 days. E. Caley, John, 1866, May 24. S. Campbell, John, 1826, 'June 19-21. E. Carpenter, J., 1850, March 8-16. P.

long been a puzzle to me. It is described as " the entire property of a gentleman of the highest con- sideration in Holland, by whose family they have been accumulated." My authority for assigning the property to the Archbishop of Cashel is ' A List of Original Catalogues of the Principal Libraries which nave been Sold by Auction' at the house of Sotheby, 1744-1828, printed by Mr. Sotheby in 1828, where is this entry : " Cash ell, Archbishop of (Unpublished Manuscript Historical Documents)." The heading of the sale catalogue is, " Unpublished Authentic Manuscript Historical Documents, Auto- graphs, Letters, &c., ' and it is the only sale of this year which answers to Mr. Sotheby's "parentheses. It is strange that the name of the proprietor should have been suppressed, for the archbishop's library (see next entry) was sold as that of "His Grace the Archbishop of Cashel, lately deceased." This would be the Hon. Charles Brodrick, who died in 1822. The collection comprises letters to the Princes of Orange and Nassau, and four of the highest interest from Elizabeth and Charles I. ; about 3,000 pieces relating to English and other political events from 1706 to 1726 ; and an extensive collection of Alba Arnicorum. It would be interesting to have explained why the Arch bishop of Cashel should have been a gentleman " of highest consideration in Holland." The printed date of sale is May 30, but the B.M. copy has this struck out and June 20 written in.

which Mr. Norgate committed in the Library, Sept., 1891, in his list of Evans's sales. He there states that the copy of 'Martialis Epigrammata,' Ferrara, 1471, purchased for the Bodleian for 60/., of which only two or three copies are known, was bought at Combes's sale. Tnis is not so. It occurred in an anonymous collection "consigned from Italy," and sold by Evans in 1837, Nov. 22'and 4 days. The importance of the Martial must be my excuse for this note.
