We have received the fourth volume (June-November, 1886) of Book

Lore : a Magazine Devoted to Old-Time Literature (Elliot Stock), containing, as usual, plenty of curious information. The accounts of auctions are noticeable. At the salad the Addington eolketion, we find 2133 obtained for four small volumes of Wycliffe. W. Addington purchased them for 2400. This kind of thing is out of the reach of ordinary collectors. First editions of Dickene are more in their line. "The Pickwick Papers" fetched 21 103., and " Humphrey's Clock," 22 2s., a price which was also fetched by the "Tale of Two Cities."
