I should observe that the PRINTS or ENGRAVINGS of the
Marquis, together with the _printed prices_ for which they,
and the foregoing library, were sold, are usually added to
the Catalogue of the Books. In the spring of 1807, the
MANUSCRIPTS belonging to the same noble collector were
catalogued to be sold by public auction. These manuscripts,

collections in the kingdom.' It is well known that the
collection never came to the hammer; but was purchased by
parliament for 6000_l._, and is deposited in the British
Museum. A catalogue of it is now _sub prelo_; vide p. 89,

library of the late Rev. John Brand. The first part of this
collection was disposed of in the Spring of 1807; and the
catalogue had this title: _Bibliotheca Brandiana. A
