SUSSEX, Prince Augustus Frederick Duke of (1773-1843) -- Bibliotheca Sussexiana. The extensive and valuable Library of...the late Duke of Sussex, K.G. ... which will be sold by Auction .

ONE OF 40 LARGE-PAPER COPIES, comprising a complete set of the sale catalogues of the Bibliotheca Sussexiana, the only complete record of the Duke's vast library.
