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 OP FRANCIS BACON, Lord Viscount OF St Alban at his death with the dividends paid to the respective Creditors. A Legal Document on vellum (24 ios. x 27 ins.), signed by Pra. Phelips Audit and John Penkethman Scri. puhl. A most interesting document shewing the deplorable state in which his finances were when Bacon died. The debts amounted to £22,371 1« 3d., while the estate realised but £6,900. In 1730 this document was in the possession of Thomas Granger, who allowed Blackbourne to copy and reprint it in his edition of Bacon's Works. There are, however, variations between the original and the copy. *«* See reproduction y which shows a small portion only. A (B.). King James His Apophthegmes ; Or, Table-Talke . . . By B. A. Gent.
