PUTTICK AND SIMPSON beg to announce that their Season for Sales of Literary
Property will commence on Wednesday next, October 12. In addressing
Executors and others entrusted with the disposal of Libraries, and
collections (however limited or extensive) of Manuscripts, Autographs,
Prints, Pictures, Music, Musical Instruments, Objects of Art and Vertu, and
Works connected with Literature, and the Arts generally, would suggest a
sale by Auction as the readiest and surest method of obtaining their full
value; and they flatter themselves that the central situation of their
premises (near St. James's Church), their extensive connexion of more than
half a century's standing, and the careful circulation of their Catalogues
in all parts of the country, and occasionally throughout Europe and
America, are advantages that will not be unappreciated. Messrs. P. & S.
will also receive small parcels of Books or other Literary Property, and
insert them in occasional sales with property of a kindred description,
thus giving the same advantages to the possessor of a few Lots as to the
owner of a large Collection.
*** Libraries Catalogued, Arranged, and Valued for the Probate or Legacy
Duty, or for Public or Private Sale.
