There exists an annotated copy, the Houlditch copy with buyers and prices, and published results; They have slight variations in spelling between the annotated BML copy and the published results; the Houlditch copy has a few different names, but is mostly the same. We have used the annotations from the BML copy because they match the publisehd results; however, there seems to be a mistake in the published version, starting with lot 33 on the last day: there is a name missing and the remaining names have been shifted up one lot.
NAL, odd volume of Press Clippings, p.11-13 has printed list of lots, buyers and prices with totals (7784.5.0). A note at the end of the BML copy says "For the Society of Antiquaries of London From their Humb. Sert -- May 4, 1758 Jas Theobald" This is James Theobald, Secretary of the Society. | | Catalog Location(s) | RKDH [photocopy in Provenance Index Sales Files]
