The highly Important Collection of Autograph Letters and Historical MSS.
of M. ALCIDE DONNADIEU.
PUTTICK AND SIMPSON, Auctioneers of Literary Property will SELL by
AUCTION, at their Great Room, 191. Piccadilly, on TUESDAY, July
29, and Four following Days, the VERY IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF
AUTOGRAPH LETTERS and HISTORICAL MSS. of M. ALCIDE DONNADIEU. The
importance of this Collection cannot be estimated by a mere list
of names, as in every instance, with a few exceptions where
extreme rarity has precluded choice, each specimen has been
selected for its intrinsic literary or historic worth. Among the
English Royal Personages are the Autographs of Henry V., Henry
VI., Edward IV., Richard III., and Henry VII.; (from this period,
nearly all are Letters entirely Autograph of) Henry VIII.,
Catherine of Aragon, Catherine Parr, Edward VI., Queen Mary and
Philip of Spain, Elizabeth, Mary Queen of Scots, Henry Stuart,
Lord Darnley, James I. and Anne of Denmark, Henry Prince of Wales,
Charles I. as Duke of York and as King; also, a Document of the
greatest Interest, the Contract of Marriage between Charles I. and
the Infanta of Spain, signed by the parties--Henrietta Maria, Mary
Princess of Orange, daughter of Charles I.; Elizabeth Queen of
Bohemia, Frederic King of Bohemia and his Sons, Prince Rupert,
Louisa Princess of Bohemia, her well-known Letter in
Hieroglyphics, Oliver Cromwell, Letters and Documents, and
particularly the original Order to the Lord Mayor of London,
directing him to proclaim Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of
England--Richard Cromwell, Charles II., Catherine of Braganza,
James II., the Depositions concerning his Marriage with Anne Hyde,
signed by the parties; Mary d'Este, James III., the Pretender;
William III., Queen Mary, George I., and the rest of the House of
Hanover to the present Sovereign. All these Letters, and indeed
the whole of the Collection, are in the highest preservation, and
notwithstanding the great rarity of many, several specimens of
most are included. There are Autographs of the Regicides, temp.
Charles I., and unique Letters of the Conspirators Robert Aske and
Robert Catesby. The French Royal Series commences with an
extremely rare and important Autograph of Charles VII., and
continues to the close of the Monarchy. Of Henry IV. alone there
are twenty important Letters. Other Foreign Sovereigns, including
the Bonaparte family, several of Napoleon, particularly a _plein
pouvoir_ to Caulincourt, enabling him to conclude a Treaty of
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
