and MSS. missing in the last sale, were to be published the

[Footnote 36: "BIBLIOTHECAE BRIDGESIANAE CATALOGUS: or, A

_Lincoln's Inn_, Esq., &c., which will begin to be sold, by
Auction, on Monday the seventh day of February, 1725-6, at
his chambers in _Lincoln's Inn_, No. 6."

From a priced copy of this sale catalogue, in my possession,
once belonging to Nourse, the bookseller in the Strand, I
find that the following was the produce of the sale:

The Amount of the books L3730 0 0
Prints and books of Prints 394 17 6

Total Amount of the Sale L4124 17 6

Two different catalogues of this valuable collection of
books were printed. The one was analysed, or a _catalogue
raisonne_; to which was prefixed a print of a Grecian
portico, &c., with ornaments and statues: the other
(expressly for the sale) was an indigested and extremely
confused one--to which was prefixed a print, designed and
engraved by A. Motte, of an oak felled, with a number of men
cutting down and carrying away its branches; illustrative of
the following Greek motto inscribed on a scroll
above--[Greek: Dryos pesouses pas aner xyleuetai]: "An
affecting memento (says Mr. Nichols, very justly, in his
_Anecdotes of Bowyer_, p. 557) to the collectors of great
libraries, who cannot, or do not, leave them to some public
accessible repository."]
