Preface and paratexts

TO THE READER THis Catalogue Consists of the Libraries of the Persons mentioned on the Title Page, and will be sold on the Day prefixed, for the Benefit, and at the Request of Several Learned Gentlemen, by whom the Books have been viewed. It's needless for me after their Approbation, to particularize the Valuable and Choice Books it Contains, (perhaps being as many as any Catalogue of its Bulk can hitberto pretend to have had) and as well qualified as to their Editions and Binding; which having said, I promise to my self, from the Experience I have had from former Essays of this Nature amongst you, a Success, in some measure, answerable to the bonest and innocent Ends proposed by your Humble Servant in the Affairs of Learning, Edward Millington. / [separating line] This Auction will begin on Monday the 21st Day of November next, 1687. at the Sign of the Black-Swan, over against the South Door of St. Paul's Church (amongst the Woolen Drapers) in St. Pauls Church-Yard, continuing Day by Day, the first Five Days of every Week, till all the Books are fold, from the Hours of Nine in the Morning to Twelve, and from Two to Six in the Evening. <%%> <> <%%> / Conditions af SALE. I. THat he who bids most is the Buyer; and if any difference arise, which the Company cannot decide, then the Book, or Books, shall be forthwith exposed to Sale again. / II.

That all Gentlemen, &c. Buyers, do give in not only their Sirnames, but Christian, as also their Places of Abode, with the signs they Live, or Lodg at, to the end that every Person may have Justice done him in the buying, and in the delivery; which new Condition is now proposed, to prevent the Inconveniencies that have more or less hitherto attended the Undertakers, and also the Purchasers, by reason that several Persons, out of Vanity and Oftentation, have appeared and bought, to the damage and disappointment of the parties they outbid; and nave not been so kind to their own; Reputation, or just to the Proprietors, as to pay for and fetch them away. / IV. That the Money for the Book or Books so bought, is to be paid by the Buyer within one Month after the Auction is ended at the place where they are sold, where constant attendance shall be given for that Month, Day By Day, from Nine of the Clook in the Morning to Twelve, and from Two till Six in the Evening, for Receipt of the Money, and Delivery of the Books. / V.
