SUSSEX " BOOK SALE" STOPPAGE
NOTICE.

MEMORANOUX.—In May, 1824, " The King's" Octagon-room Li-
brary formed of European and " Stationers' Iran" Deposits Books
of many centuries, as the patrimonial estate of the nation under
official trust of the Sovereign for the time being, at Buckingham
House Palace, was broke up and scattered.
This " unique" Collection of Works in all Languages were to be
seen (by Sir Charles Dolbin, Dr. Pettigrew, and others) thrown out
on the ground " hurry scurry" within the Court-yard of KENSINGTON
PALACE, from numerous trains of Woolwich ammunition waggons of
the Artillery, for the sinister purposes of making a property, as the
sale (?) now pourtrays. The plea, for such a sacrilegious proceeding,
was the turning this State deposit library-room into a kitchen,
Thus, the undersigned accounts to the present generation, for a frau-
dulent act, requiring retributive justice to the public, as also proving
satisfactorily the why and the wherefore for the extraordinary book
collection and Polyglot Bible taste* of the late Duke of Sussex.
At this time (1824) the newspapers were loud in their praise of
the munificence of his Majesty George IV. to the people ; of his
large library, without stating the fraternal gleaning, &c., " via Ken-
sington," when these literary records of the empire might have been
at once " honestly" lodged safe under the court-yard piazza of the
British Museum, they being (vide catalogue) upwards of 100,000
volumes.

This audacious transaction being made clear to me, I hereby pro-
test against this spoliation for private advantage, and by this act
charge the Duke of Wellington, and Ministers of the present time in
official trust, accountable to the Public and non-electors of Great
Britain, If they do not stop by investigation these nefarious doings,
wkich deeds are to occupy 24 days of " Book sale" under their " sub
silentio" license. CHARLES H. ACKERLEY,

(Author of the Lamp of Life
Non-elector.

29th June, 1844.
" I to the public good apply
My thoughts, intent on policy."
P.S.—As all " Crown diamonds, jewels, &c." were, by the Go•
vernment of 1830, insisted on being returned into the Exchequer, as
unlawfully given by George the Fourth to his favourites, " men as
well as women," by the same " PRECEDENT " ought these valua-
ble books, &c. &c. &c. be forthwith returned to the Officers of State,
now in trust. Therefore, whoever purchases the Books in question
will be considered as receivers of " goods" at risk. _

C. H. A.
Justice of the Peace (1837) for Worcester and Middlesex,

* The foisted report set about, of 3,0001. a year being laid out in
" Books" by the late Sussex leaseholder of Kensington Palace, was
to " hood-wink" the public for the accomplishment of the present
design, after twenty years' silence.
