The Preface, containing directions for the Conduct of the School, is
written by Cardinal Wolsey. The Grammar is by Dean Colet and Lilly.
1295 The Complete History of Cornwall, Part
II., being the Parochial History, (by
William Hals,) extremely rare 15 0 0
This is one of the rarest books in the class of British Topography.
The first part was never printed, it has therefore no general title. A
copy is in the library of the Right Hon. Thomas Grenville.
1314 Patrick Hannay's Nightingale, Sheretine,
Happy Husband, Songs, Sonnets,
&c., with the frontispiece, including the
extremely rare Portrait of Patrick Hannay,
an excessively rare volume when
perfect, 1622 13 5 0
We believe only one other perfect copy is known, that which was
successively in the Libraries of Bindley, Perry, Sykes, and Rice. No
poetical volume in the libraries of these celebrated collectors
excited a more lively interest, or a keener competition. This was
obtained by Mr. Chalmers at Pinkerton's sale in 1812. The Portrait of
Hannay is a great desideratum to the Granger Collectors.

Nation, with Historical Observations on

rare. The most perfect copy
known, 1705 41 0 0
This is the great desideratum of all the collectors of De Foe's works.
It is the most perfect copy known; that which approaches it the
nearest is the copy in the British Museum; but that only extends to 6
vols.
