Thomas Grenville The Library, of which the following Notices include the most valuable portion, is the result of a continued and unwearied pursuit of nearly fifty years; guided by a very extensive knowledge of ancient and modern literature, and by a familiar acquaintance with rare and curious books. This Collection has been enriched from the successive sales of the valuable Libraries of Count Mac Carthy, Mr. Bindley, Sir M. Sykes, Mr. Hibbert, Mr. Heber, and others; and has been formed with much discrimination, both as to the selection of authors and to the choice of editions and copies.
