SOTHEBY, WILKINSON & HODGE.

THE LIBRARY OF THE LATE MR. J. T. DELANE, FORMERLY EDITOR OF THE "TIMES," AND OTHER PROPERTIES, INCLUDING A COMPLETE SET OF THE KELMSCOTT PRESS PUBLICATIONS.

(No. of Lots, 1010; amount realised, £1,559 2s.)

[NOTE. This is the first occasion on which a complete Set of the Kelmscott Press publications has been sold by auction. A very extensive collection of the same works was also disposed of by Messrs. Sotheby on March 4, 1899, at the Miscellaneous Sale held February 27 and five following days, reported post. For convenience of reference, and also because the Kelmscott Press books are at the present time rapidly increasing in value, both collections are recorded together. The books are arranged in order of date, that being the usual practice of the cataloguers.-ED.]
