*** According to Windle & Pippin this is the large paper copy of the sale catalogue, printed
on thick paper. It is possible that Dibdin was involved in the cataloguing of the sale, he
certainly offered to look over the proofs for the early printed books (letter to Leigh &
Sotheby dated Nov.1, 1813, now at Harvard) and some of the notes look like his work.
