Can anyone on this list help with this enquiry :
I am the author of ‘Boswell’s Books: Four Generations of Collectors and
Collecting’ (Oak Knoll 2016)
I continue to collect data on newly discovered books from the
Boswell/Auchileck library.
Lord Auchinleck, Alexander Boswel, [he just used one el] was the father of
the biographer and considered to own the finest collection of Greek & Latin
Classics in Scotland. I have identified hundreds of his books that have not
yet been located. They do show up in the market on a sporadic basis.
I would be very grateful if you could poll your group for any information
they might have (or books they might own) with his ownership signature or
more rarely the book stamp.I can assure anonymity if that is preferred.
