poinfc.it which tho representatives of the Society felt constrained to stop. Mr. 

 Quaritch purchased the collection on behalf of Lord Houghton, who in succeeding 

 to Lord Crewe's estates has become possessed of much of the old Hungerford 

 property in Wilts. The original rough jottings and notes used in the formation 

 of the complete collection, bound in two volumes, folio, also fell to Mr. Quaritch 

 for £3 10.?. Mr. Quaritch also secured a valuable folio MS. History of Gore of 

 Alderton for £7 ; a copy of " Jackson's History of Grittleton," with a large 

 number of old deeds, letters, and notes inserted, for £5 10*. ; a collection of 

 notices, guide-books, and histories of Farley Hungerford, with MS. annotations 

 and corrections, for £5 10*. ; The " Guide to Farleigh Hungerford," large 

 paper, with a number of beautiful drawings, &c, inserted, for £5 7*. 6c?.; a 

 collection of MSS. relating to the same place, with many pedigrees, documents, 

 and drawings, for £6 5.?. A manuscript Visitation of the County of Wilts 

 taken circa 1565 by William Harvey, Clarencieux King of Arms (stated to 

 have been sold in 1832 for £16 16*.), brought £6 15*. From the Society's 

 point of view it was somewhat unfortunate that the " Hungerfordiana " came 

 at the very end of the sale, as the Society's representatives were obliged to 

 reserve themselves for this, and to let a considerable number of seventeenth 

 and eighteenth century pamphlets and other matters of interest to the county 

 go to the booksellers at very low prices. They succeeded, however, in securing, 

 for the very moderate expenditure of £8, some fourteen lots, mostly consisting 

 of MSS. by the late Canon, containing a good deal of valuable unpublished 

 Wiltshire matter, as well as a certain number of original documents of much 

 interest, and some printed items, &c, new to the library — most of which are 

 catalogued in the additions to the Library printed in the Appendix to the Library 

 Catalogue. 



It may be mentioned here that Canon Jackson's Collections for Wilts 

 Bibliography are among the papers given to the Library of the Society of 

 Antiquaries, London.
