one company will be admitted on the same day;--The house will never be shewn after dinner, nor at all but from the first of May to the first of October;--As Mr. Walpole has given offence by sometimes enlarging the number o [Transcriber's Note: of] four, and refusing that latitude to others, he flatters himself that for the future nobody will take it ill that he strictly confines the number; as whoever desires him to break his rule does in effect expect him to disoblige others, which is what nobody has a right to desire of him;--Persons desiring a ticket may apply either to Strawberry Hill, or to Mr. Walpole's, in Berkeley Square, London.

This brochure, which has been called "rare" in book-auction catalogues, has been sold for upwards of two guineas.----XXI. _Postscript to the Royal and Noble Authors._ MDCCXXXVI, 8vo.

A copy of this book was sold for 3_l._; at a sale in 1804.----XXIII. _Bishop Banner's Ghost._ Printed by T.K. MDLCCXXXIX, 4to. On the first leaf is the following "Argument."
