Messrs. Puttick and Simpson, in addressing Executors and others entrusted with the disposal of Libraries, and collections (however limited or extensive,) of Manuscripts, Autographs, Prints, Pictures, Music, Musical Instruments, Objects of Art and Vertu, andWoiks connected with Literature, and the Arts generally, would suggest a sale by Auction as the readiest and surest method of obtaining their full value; and they flatter themselves that the central situation of their premises, (near St. James’s Church), their extensive connexion of more than half a century’s standing, and their prompt settlement of the sale accounts in cash, are advantages that will not be unappreciated. Messrs. P. &l S. will also receive small parcels of Books or other Literary Property, and insert them in occasional sales with properly of a kindred description, thus1 giving the same advantages to the possessor of a few Lots as to the ow ner of a large Collection. • * Libraries Catalogued, Arranged, and Valued for the Probate or Legacy Duty, or lor Public or Private Sale.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b22462636_0004.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
