    The Aylesford Library. There Has Been No...

    THE AYLESFORD LIBRARY . There has been no little excitement and

    interest following the announcement made some months ago of the sale of Lord

    Aylesford ' s fine collection of books . The cause of the excitement among book people was the reported splendour of the collection . The

    issue of the catalogue which has just taken p x lace will somewhat lessen this feeling o > , as on

    the whole the library is by no means such a fine one as some which of late years have been dispersed . Notwithstanding this the

    catalogue which Messrs . Christie have sent us contains _ — a - good t ^ - many */ gems * Z ? and nuggets OO , the

    future possessors of which will be much Aubrey envied . ' s Among i Surrey the ' on scarcer large books paper we ; a notice fine
