The Votes of the House of Commons, 48 vols. The London Gazette, 40 vols. ... Aldrovandus's works compleat; in 13 vols. civil, canon, and common law books. Troctatus Tractatuum, 28 vols &c. Books of medals, inscriptions, mathematicks, and other arts and sciences. To which is added, a fine collection of Italian, Flemish, and French prints, by the greatest masters, and a choice parcel of original manuscripts. On account of the largeness of this collection, there is a longer time than usual given for the sale, that gentleman, who live at a distance, may have time to peruse the catalogue, to see the particular books they have occasion for; which they may do every day (the books being in order) till the day of sale, which will be on monday, the 12th day of January, for ready money (only) the prices being marked cheaper than usual, in the first leaf of each book, at T. Obsorne's in Gray's-Inn, and will continue selling all the summer season. where may he had money for any library or parcel of books. N.B. In the month of February will be sold the largest and best chosen collection of pamphlets and single tracts, both ancient and modern, ever seen together, containing above three-hundred thousand, collected by the late Earl of Oxford, and never yet exposed to sale; which, by reason of their number, being too expensive to print a catalogue, will be ranged under the several heads mentioned at the end of this catalogue.
