I_cII THISmemorable Library abounds in treasures, specialities, and curiosities of Literature. It contains many unique books, and some equally so as regards the chance of sale, the only others known being locked up in Public Libraries that can never be dispersed. The copies, generally speaking, are of unrivalled beauty in point of internaland external condition, thus exemplifying the profound taste and judgment of Mr. DANIEL, who never neglected an opportunity of acquiring the finest examples that presented themselves during a long and an anxious career. The successful result of his labours will be admitted on a careful perusal of the following Catalogue, so rich in bibliograyhical rarities of the highest class, and which are sought for by the Amateur with peculiar curiosity. The limits of a Preface would not admit of an enumeration of the Literary treasures contained in the Collection, but the followingmay be cited,among others of great interest and rarity, illustrating the unceasing perseverance of thelate possessor. The works of Shakespeare form a very important section, and comprise the First Four Folios, all of the first class, and much finer copies than can everagain occur for sale. The Quarto Plays, too, present a remarkable feature, the following being of the first edition and of the highest degree of rarity :- The Tragedie of King Richard theSecond; the Tragedy of King Richard the Third; Love’s Labors Lost; Tragedie of Romeo and Juliet; Chronicle History of Henry the Fifth ; History of the Uerchnnt of Venice; Much Adoe about Nothing; I Is. 1V I I ! iI I I \I i i I ! \ V of DaintieConceits; Story of King Dqms ; Meetingof Gallants ; Old Meg of Herefordshire; an extraordinarily curious Collection of Penny Merriments, and Popular Histories ; Roy’s Rede me and be nott Rothe ; Kynge Rycharde, Cuer du Lyon ; Unique Scottish Chap Books ; Smith’s Chloris ; Sonnets to the Fairest Coelia ; History of Tom Thumbe ; Watson’s Passionate Century of Love ; Westward for Smelts ; and many other of the rarest works within the range of English Literature. The class of lore under the heads of Garlands, Jests, Drol- leries and Songs, comprisessome extraordinary features, and forms a singular portion of the collection,containing many rarities of quite a unique character. There is also another class of productions to which attention must be drawn, viz., those volumescopiously enriched with original Autograph Letters, Drawings and Engravings, illus- trative of the lives and times of Bums, Chattertan, Cowper, Goldsmith, Gray, Johnson, Kemble, Pope, and other men of note. There are also two Missals of the highest class of art, of the finestquality and inthe purestcondition, and the Library contains the choicestcopies ofworks in generalliterature, which occupy a large feature, many of them being illustrated with curious peculiarities, conferring a unique distinction, and greatly tending to enhance their value and importance. The Collection of Original Drawings and Engraved Portraits of eminent Actors and Actresses, beautifid water-colour Drawings and miscellaneous objectsof Art and Vertu, will close this most interesting sale, which is confessedly without a rival in most of‘ its importantbranches, possessing 88 they do innumerable articles of the most distinguished rarity, worthy the attention of the Collector, the Nan of Taste, and the Amateur.
