Valuable Find of Manuscript


A very interesting and remarkable
discovery Of Illuminated manuscripts
and early printed books, ranging as
far back as 1880, has just been made
In the library at Oxton Hall, says the
Nottingham (Eng.) Guardian.
1t came about in this way: The
vicar Of the parish, Rev. w. Laycock,
obtained permission to go through the
books In the library at his leisure.
While so doing his curiosity was
aroused by a locked and forgotten
cupboard therein, which he proceeded
to investigate. It's contents proved to
be between forty and fifty volumes,
which confirmed the impression con-
Veyed by the antiquity Of their ap.
pearance that they belonged to the
very earliest stage of the art of print
Ing, which was introduced into this
country in 1847.
The majority of their are folio vol.
umes, and with one exception they are
all In their original bindings. The
covers are carefully planed boards of
solid oak and the books are bound
with stout leather laces, the backing
and lining being fragments Of illum.
mated manuscripts of a much earlier
date, cut up as waste with a ruthless
