To the READER.
THIS Catalogue consists of so many Excellent Books of the best Authors, that have treated of the Subjects mentioned in the Title Page, that I will not question the Judgment of the Gentlemen the Buyers, by giving a particular Recommendatory Character of them. The Historical Part, both Forreign and Domestick, is the best and compleatest that hath hitherto been presented to the World; and if the names of many Authors and their Histories, not hither∣to to knowable, hath been acceptable, and confessedly useful to se∣veral Gentlemen, I may much more reasonably promise to my self the exposing the Books this way to Sale, will be extreamly desirable, especially if they will he pleased to consider, that not one half of them mentioned in the ensuing Catalogue are by reason of their scarcity, at all times to be found, or at any Rate procured, when really wanted. I might further intimate. That some of the valuable Books are of the great Paper, and most of them as to their Binding, sufficiently inviting, answering the present Mode, and commendable modern Fashion of most Bookish Gentlemens Libraries, being generally curiously and richly bound.
This Sale will begin on Monday the Eighth day of February, 1685/6, at Bridges Coffee House, in Popes Head Alley, in Corn∣hil, from the Hours of 9 to 12 in the Morning, and from 2 in the Afternoon till 7 in the Evening, continuing daily till all the Books are sold.
