PUTTICK AND SIMPSON beg to announce that their season for SALES of LITERARY PROPERTY will COMMENCE on NOVEMBER 1st, and would call attention to the ensuing List of Sales in preparation by them. 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 Virtu, 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 conceive that the central situation of their premises (near St. James's Church), their extensive connexion of more than half a century's standing, and their prompt settlement of the sale accounts in cash, 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. [Star symbol] Libraries Catalogued, Arranged, and Valued for the Probate or Legacy Duty, or for Public or Private Sale. On Saturday, Nov. 1, a large Collection of VALUABLE BOOKS, removed from the Country, including many curious and rare Works, and a good selection of Modern Literature. Six days' sale.
