BOOK-PURCHASES OF CHARLES II.
SOME booksellers' bills have been preserved from the reign of Charles II. which have a certain amount of bibliographical interest. A draft copy and an office copy of Samuel Mearne's bill of ' ' books for His Majesty's library,' 1 rendered 24 Nov., 1663, is the longest, even after the large number of Bibles and Prayer Books for special people is deducted. They are all stated to be in folio and bound in crimson leather.
