On the following Monday will commence 
the sale of the theological portion of his 
collection, which will occupy eight days, and 
conclude on the 4th of December. The sales 
are entrusted to the management of Messrs. 
S. Leigh Sotheby & Co. of Wellington Street. 
We have also received from Mr. Asher, of 
Berlin, a copy of the Bibliotheca Tiechiuna— 
the sale catalogue of the library of Ludwig 
Tieck, the distinguished German poet, no- 
velist, and critic. The sale will commence at 
Berlin on the 10th December, with the English 
portion of the library, which, besides the 2nd, 
8rd, and 4th folios, is particularly rich in 
works illustrative of Shakspeare, and of 
translations of various portions of our great 
dramatist’s writings. ‘The following lot, com- 
prising an edition, we believe, not very gene- 
rally known, and containing the manuscript 
notes and comments of so profound a critic 
as Ludwig Tieck, ought to find an English 
purchaser. 
2152 Tue Prays or W. Suaxsprarr, with the Cor- 
rections and Illustrations of various Commenta- 
tors, to which are added Notes by Johnson and 
Steevens. 23 vols. er. in 8vo. Basil 1800-1802 
« Exemplaire unique et de la plus grande importance, 
“contenant des notes sans nombre de Ja main 
“de M. Tieck. Ces notes renferment les fruits 
“dune étude de plus de 40 ans sur le grand 
“poéte, par son plus grand traducteur et 
“commentateur, et forment le texte du grand 
“ouvrage sur Shakspeare, promis depuis si 
“longtemps,” 
One of the most curious articles in this 
catalogue, copies of which may be obtained 
from the London Agent for the sale, Mr. Nutt, 
of the Strand, is No. 1965, a copy of Lilly’s 
Sixe Court Comedies, which had belonged to 
Oliver Cromwell, and appears to contain his 
autograph. 
There are few literary men who have not, 
in the course of some one or other of their 
inquiries, experienced the difficulty there is in 
procuring copies of pamphlets which, being 
for the most part originally published for 
purposes of temporary interest, are rarely 
preserved by binding, and consequently when 
afterwards wanted become extremely diflicult 
of attainment. We well ¥emember the valuable 
Catalogue published many years since by 
Mr. Rodd, of Newport Street, the father of 
Mr. Thomas Rodd, and have often regretted 
the loss of our copy of that extensive collec- 
tion ; and werecord now for the information 
of our readers the publication by Mr. Russell 
Smith, of 4, Old Compton Street, of Part I. 
of a Catalogue of asingular and unique collec- 
tion of 25,000 ancient and modern Tracts and 
Pamphlets: containing I. Biography, Literary 
History, and Criticism ; II. Trials, Civil and 
Criminal ; III. Bibliography and Typography; 
IV. Heraldry and Family History; V Arche- 
ology ; VI. Architecture, Painting, and Sculp- 
ture; VII. Music; VIII. Metaphysics.
