Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of a Collection of Printed Broadsides: In the Possession of the Society of Antiquaries of London The Society´s purchase, through Dr. Gifford, (which no doubt consisted of one of the collections of Proclamations formed by Humphrey Dyson, with some manuscript additions,) led to an act of conspicuous liberality on the part of that singular man Thomas Hollis, of Lincoln´s Inn, not then a Member of the Society, but a gentleman, as the entry on the Minutest declares, "who on many occasions has approved himself a well-wisher and kind benefactor to this Society." Mr. Hollis presented, by Professor Ward, who had been his tutor, "a large and curious collection of State and other papers, from the time of Henry VIII. to Charles II. inclusive, in twelve volumes folio, purchased by him 23rd January, 1756, in one lot, No. 941, at the sale of books belonging to Mr. Charles Davis, bookseller in Holborn, deceased, in order to complete the set of Proclamations which he understood were purchased for the Society sometime since by Dr. Gifford, and of which valuable collection he judged this was originally a part... The Society very thankfully acknowledged their great obligations to Mr. Hollis for his very valuable present and kind intention therein, and desired Dr. Ward to acquaint him therewith." These entries sufficiently indicate the way in which the Society became possessed of these collections. In the year 1862 the binding of the fourteen large folio volumes in which they were then contained, and the condition of many of the papers themselves, were found to require attention, and after due consideration it was deemed advisable to divide them into two separate collections.
