No. 3. Important and Precious Autographs and Authors' Original MSS. from Froissart (1338 to 1404) to Clemenceau. Over five Centuries.

Octavo: ii + 174 pp. Stitched. In original grey printed wraps. Internally clean and tight, in grubby and worn wraps. A first class catalogue, with excellent entries on items including letters and documents by Byron, Carlyle, Dickens, Disraeli, Edward Fitzgerald, Garibaldi, Pitt the Younger, Sir Walter Scott, Tennyson, Horace Walpole, George Washington. Fifteen books from the library of Mrs Piozzi. Six items (pp.166-9) by Oscar Wilde, including the manuscripts of 'Phrases and Philosophies for the use of the Young' (£65) and of the poem 'La Circassienne' (£40) ('never been published, evidently because of its voluptuousness'). The British Library Catalogue suggests Michelmore began trading around 1930, but he certainly issued catalogues as early as 1923. This early catalogue contains a reference to the year 1921.
