This valuable collection was purchased after the death of Edward
Harley, second Earl of Oxford, by T. Osborne, the well known
bookseller, for £30,000. The catalogue made by T. Oldys, with a
preface by Dr. S. Johnson, was issued in parts; the first two
volumes in 1743, and two more in 1744. The last volume is not,
properly, a part of the work, though issued under the same name.
The books were not sold by auction, and the prices were not
affixed, as is usual with booksellers. For a valuable article
on this catalogue (containing 360,000 volumes), see _Notes and
Queries_.
