A SELECTION FROM A PORTION OF THE LIBRARY OF THE LATE MR. WILLIAM MORRIS, OF KELMSCOTT HOUSE, HAMMERSMITH.

(No. of Lots, 1215; amount realised, £10,992 11s.)

[NOTE. This portion of the library of the late Mr. Morris consisted chiefly of manuscripts and specimens of the productions of the early printers. The manuscripts, which were mostly codexes of the Bible, and transcripts of the Greek and Latin classics, included the illuminated Josephus (Lot 732), formerly in the Hamilton Collection, the Sherbrooke and other Missals, etc. They were generally of English or Norman-French workmanship, some being especially interesting from their historical associations. It is not usual to report the sale of MSS. in BOOK-PRICES CURRENT, though exceptions to the rule are numerous. In this instance the most important manuscripts are recorded.—ED.]
