(Forgotten Books, Oct. 12, 2017)
Excerpt from Notes on Scottish SongWhile my Songs of Burns was going through the press I discovered the volumes with the ms. Notes in the possession of Miss Oakshott, of Arundel Square, Barnsbury, London, who had inherited the library of a book collector, A. F. Nichols, for whom she was housekeeper for many years. Nichols had bought them about the year 1871 from Mr. John Salkeld, bookseller, London. He acquired them with other Burns volumes as a job lot, but discovered their value and catalogued the lot at £110. The Interleaved Museum was bought at Sotheby's auction on October 30, 1903, by Mr. Quaritch, Piccadilly, who has since sold them to Mr. George C. Thomas, of Philadelphia, in whose possession they now are.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
