To the READER.

THis Catalogue contains the compleatest Collection of the Common and Statute Law-Books, ancient and modern, that hath been hitherto published, or perhaps will ever be exposed to Sale by way of Auction: So that I may presume to say, that not one considerable Book of Price, or Use in the whole Body of the Law is wanting. These Gentlemen were curious in collecting of the ancient, and scarce Books of the Law, as is obvious to every one that shall please to peruse the ensuing Names of them, especially of Books of old Customs, Usages, and Charters; there being no less then three different Editions of that fam'd Book of the Customs of Normandy, two of Stebunhith and Hackney; and of the Charters, of Romeney-Marsh, of the Tinners in Cornwall, &c. with indeed all other Books that respect the Law, that were useful, and in general Esteem, Which is Invitation sufficient to all the Gentlemen of the Gown, to buy upon this occasion, what they cannot so easily meet with, or not at all find, when their Occasions require, or they are desirous of having them.

This Auction will begin on Monday the second Day of July, 1683, at the first House on the left-hand in Flying-Horse Court, in Fleet∣street, near the Kings-Head Tavern at Chancery-Lane End; at the Hours of nine in the Morning, till twelve; and from three in the After∣noon to six. At which Place, and at the aforesaid Hours, the Books will be exposed to view, for three whole Days before the Sale, to all Gen∣tlemen that please to inform themselves in the Editions or Conditions of them.
