Two books interesting on account of the MS. notes

" The Miscellaneous Works of the Earl of Chesterfield, 

 1777, with numerous MS. notes by Horace Walpole. The 

 greater part of these were printed in Vol. X. of the

 shorter notes giving the names of persons alluded to in the

Donations. — The following are among the most important 

 donations which have been received during the year : — 



A single sheet containing four copies of a document with 

 extracts from a Bull of Pope Innocent VIII. on the occasion of 

 the marriage of Henry VII. in the year 1486, which was 

 subsequently confirmed by Pope Alexander VI. It may b^ 

 conjectured that copies of this document were sent to the

 of Wynkyn de Worde. Presented hy the President and 

 Fellows of Magdalen College, Oxford.
