No fale of books ever engrofled a larger fliare of public 
attention than the extenfive and valuable library of the 
late John duke of Roxburgh. The catalogue was judi- 
cioully compiled by Meffrs. G. and W. Nicol, and the 
books were fold by Mr. Robert Evans of Pall Mall, who 
for that efpecial purpofe commenced book-auftioneer. 
The library was fold at his grace’s late refidence in St. 
James’s fquare ; and fo numerous and valuable were the 
lots, that the fale lafted forty-five days, commencing on the 
18th of May, and clofing on the 8th of July. The total 
produce of the library (which it is believed did not coft 
its late noble owner more than 5000I.) was about 23,3411.

The two articles which are printed in Italics, and 
which brought fucli unexampled prices, were fold on 
Wednefday the 17th of June ; and on that day a party of 
noblemen and gentlemen, diftinguifhed for their attach¬ 
ment to rare and curious books, and many of them for 
the fine collections in their own pofleflion, dined together 
at the St. Alban’s tavern, St. Alban’s ftreet, under the 
denomination of the Roxburgh Club. Lord Spencer 
was in the chair, fupported by lord Gower, fir Mark M. 
Sykes, bart. fir Egerton Brydges, and Mr. Roger Wiibra- 
liaxn. The Rev. Mr. Dibdin took the bottom of the ta¬ 
ble, flanked by Meffrs. R. Heber, Bolland, Utterfon, and 
other diftinguiftied bibliomaniacs. Melfrs. Dent, Free- 
ling, and Lang, formed the connefting chain between . 
fuch refpeftable upper and lower circles. The duke of 
Devonfhire, lord Blandford, and lord Morpeth, were voted 
into the club, to complete the number of 31.—Some will 
be apt to defpife the club and its purfuits, as tending to 
put an imaginary value upon old rubbifh which has no 
real intrinfic worth 3 but for our parts we cannot but ad¬ 
mire that generous emulation, which exalts the national 
charafter, and makes the fruits of intelleftual indultry 
the noble conteft of the.rich. 
In the renewed turnpike-afts paffed this feflion, a new 
claufe was introduced, enafting—that, if any perfon or 
perfons fhall ride upon any caufeway or foot-path, or
