Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Hoare Library at Stourhead, Co. Wilts: To Which Are Added, an Account of the Museum of British Antiquities; A Catalogue of the Paintings and Drawings, and a Description of the Mansion
The late Sir Richard Colt Hoare having by his Will bequeathed his Library to be preserved, for the use of his Successors, his Executors and Trustees were pleased to entrust to me the compilation of the present Catalogue, which I was induced to undertake from the sincere regard and respect I entertained for the late learned, indefatigable, and amiable possessor of Stourhead, who had for many years been the warm patron and kind friend of my late Father and myself.
