SALE OF THE LIBRARY OF THE LATE C. W. REYNELL, ESQ.

Messrs. Sotheby and Co., May 15th, 1895.

¶The sale included some fine MSS. of the 14th and 15th centuries; these, however, are not given here, as they would be of little or no guide, unless they were most accurately described, and the exact condition given. The printed Books of Hours are recorded here. A Roman Missal, by an English scribe, which had a reference to Margaret Paston, was sold for £8 15s. The sale was also interesting for the 17th century English works it included.
