The Collection of Books used by James Spedding (1808-1881), the accomplished Editor of the Works of Sir Francis Bacon, as his working library in bringing out that "unsurpassable model of thorough and scholarlike editing." 363 vols, in 318, folio, 4to., and 8vo. v. d. Price of the Collection, £400 net. This collection should be an invaluable acquisition to a public library or to a collector of Baconiana, as it includes a number of the first and early editions of Bacon's Works and those of his contemporaries, some of them of great rarity, and also a valuable collection of books in Baconian literature. Additional value is given to many of the books from the fact that they are enriched with Spedding's MS. notes (all the cases in which they occur are not mentioned below). A few volumes have been added by me to strengthen the collection, but the great bulk is as Spedding owned it. Contents SCHEDULE OF THE DEBTS OF FRANCIS BACON, Loed Viscount of ST Alb an at his death with the dividends paid to the respective Creditors. A Legal Document on vellum (24 ins. x 27 ins.), signed by Fra. Phelips Audit and John Penkethman Scri. pull. A most interesting document shewing the deplorable state in which his finances were when Bacon died. The debts amounted to £22,371 Is 3d., while the estate realised but £6,900. In 1730 this document was in the possession of Thomas Granger, who allowed Blackboume to copy and reprint it in his edition of Bacon's Works. There are, however, variations between the original and the copy. *„* See reproduction, which shows a small portion only. A (B.). King James His Apophthegmes ; Or, Table-Talke . . . By B. A. Gent.

Sin. 4to., with a second title-page; the last leaf 0^ missing ; modern velhim, with the original limp vellum wrapper bound in 1609 In the first edition acknowledging the King's authorship, at p. 13 the writer observes that a liangman is fitted to answer such an historian, i.e. Parsons ; but in this edition, the sentence runs: "but a rope is the fittest answere for suoh an Historian." It is suggested that Bishop Barlow was responsible for this change, for he pointed out to the King that Parsons might play on the other word, and turn it against him. On the back of the title to this April impression, the King warns the public against former copies issued without his authority — probably a mere subterfuge for slips of the pen. Iacobi Primi . . .
