Auction notice and literary auction prospectus in seventeenth century style
A fragmentary notice describes a literary auction with items, subscriptions, and delivery terms. It mentions a painting, a life of a gentleman, and a price list for volumes, with references to Cambridge area figures and a scheme for subscribers. It cites George Wheatley and coach-related disputes, ending with Bevington and Marphew printing in Bloomsbury.
