Catalogue of the choice and extensive Law and Miscellaneous library of the late Hon. William Green, Ll. D.--comprising nearly 10,000 volumes in the several departments of Literature. Compiled by R. A. Brock, Esq., Secretary Virginia Historical Society.
This is a book of 210 pages, very skilfully compiled by Mr. Brock, and beautifully printed by Mr. W. Ellis Jones, and is of itself a valuable addition to any library, as showing the books which a man of ability and untiring research, collected in the course of a long life. But the library itself [which is to be sold at auction, January 18th, 1881, by John E. Laughton, Jr., Richmond, Va.,] is a rare collection of valuable books, whose value is greatly increased by the Manuscript Notes of Mr. Green, who was unquestionably one of the most profound jurists, one of the best read lawyers, and one of the most accomplished men in general literature which this country ever produced. The collection has many rare books, enhanced in value by autographs of former owners, both in England and America, notes, book-plates, etc., and collectors will miss a rare opportunity if they fail to secure a catalogue, or to be represented at the sale.
Persons desiring information can address Mr. R. A. Brock, Secretary Virginia Historical Society, who deserves great credit for his skillful compilation of the catalogue, and those unable to attend the sale can send their orders to Carlton McCarthy, or either of our other local booksellers.
