Book-Prices Current : Vol. %XXIV. (Elliot Stock. 32e. 6d. net.)—Mr.

J. H. Slater has continued his well-known and in- valuable record of the principal books sold at auction from October, 1919, to August, 1920. The books are arranged alpha- betically under authors. The list includes the last portion of the Huth library, which took nine years to disperse and brought about £250,000 ; only the Hoe library has surpassed it in the past century among great libraries publicly sold. Mr. Christie- Miller's famous collection was also sold during the season with which Mr. Slater deals.
