Phillipps Studies No. 5. The Disposal of The Phillipps Library.

Phillipps Studies No. 5. The Disposal of The Phillipps Library.

by A.N.L. Munby. Fellow and Librarian, King's College, Cambridge.
Published by the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press 1960.
Book: 8vo (214 x 135mm). Original blue cloth gilt; with printed d/w; pp. xi + 204, 3 half-tone plates. Spine of d/w toned.
In this last volume of the series, Mr Munby tells the story of Sir Thomas Phillipps's attempts to bequeath his library to various bodies and to the nation; and its events to bequest on trust to his daughter. The Library was then broken up and sold in lots; and this sale was one of the most important in bookselling history.
