Octavo: 16 pp. Stitched and unbound. Grubby and a tad creased. Items, in alphabetical order from H (beginning with the Earl of Hardwick) to J (ending with Dorothy Jordan), with a few miscellaneous items on the last page, numbered 3002 to 3837. Interesting for the information it provides about minor English celebrities ('3651 JACKSON, Joseph, letter founder, nat. Old-street, 1733, res. Cock-lane and Dorset-street, London, ob. 1792, 8vo 6d | 3652 JACKSON, John, arbiter elegantiarum of boxing, beat Mendoza at Hornchurch, Essex, landlord of Sun and Punch-bowl, Holborn and Cock at Sutton, proof before the letters, 8vo 1s 6d'). Nicholls does not feature in BBTI, but Alexander Munro does, at a different address, between 1842 and 1849.
