Literary News and Library Gifts Highlight 18th Century Studies
A survey of manuscript and vellum editions notes Wilkes and Burke debates, Geddes attribution of a Johnson pamphlet, and a new Pliny edition praised for printing progress. The Duke of Marlborough plans gifts to Bodleian Cambridge Christ Church and Eton libraries, with Reitke Demosthenes manuscripts, Dr Askew’s aid, Mrs Reifke’s Latin work, and Lort’s rare tract collection. The piece laments nonreturn of manuscripts and contemplates future disposal.
