| Item Description: | Contains numerous errors in pagination. "From the statement in the preface that this collection 'comprises the main part of the library of that famous secretary, William Cecil, Lord Burleigh', it has generally been assumed that this is a catalogue of his library exclusively; the collection in fact was owned by Robert Bruce, 1st Earl of Ailesbury, who had inherited the mss. and possibly some of the printed books through his wife, Lady Diana Grey, Lord Burghley's great-great-granddaughter" -- Cf. NUC pre-1956 imprints. "Catalogues are distributed at 6 d. per catalogue at Mr. Willis ... Mr. Holford ... Mr. Sam. Lownds ... [and 7 others]." This work appears as Wing B5726 at reel 681:14 and as Wing B2831 at reel 1143:1. Reproduction of original in the Huntington Library. Microform. |
