late Mr. G. Baker, who had a surprisingly curious
collection of priced catalogues, was in possession of the
_original sale_ one of West's library. It is interleaved,
and, of course, has the prices and names of the purchasers.
Mr. Heber has also a priced copy, with the names, which was
executed by my industrious and accurate predecessor, William
Herbert, of typographico-antiquarian renown. The number of
articles, on the whole, was 4653; and of the volumes as many
articles were single, probably about 8000. _Ample_ as some
"pithy" reader may imagine the foregoing analysis to be, I
cannot find it in my heart to suffer such a collection, as
was the _Bibliotheca Westiana_, to be here dismissed in so
_summary_ a manner. Take, therefore, "pleasaunt" reader, the
following account of the _prices_ for which some of the
aforesaid book-gems were sold. They are presented to thee as
a matter of curiosity only; and not as a criterion of their
present value. And as MASTER CAXTON has of late become so
popular amongst us, we will see, inter alios, what some of
the books printed by so "simple a person" produced at this
renowned sale.
