§ This extremely scarce pamphlet is a most useful and fascinating catalogue of an extraordinary exhibition at the BM; there are over 100 entries and the exhibition, in addition to showing all the treasures of the BM, was augmented with many items loaned by Geoffrey Keynes. The catalogue is a typescript reproduced on cheap paper, and few copies can have survived. Bentley, BB, 680.
