[...] [...]ew [...]DVENT [...]E For LAW-BOOKS to be disposed of by LOT, Wherein all are Gainers.
THE Remainder of the Impressions of the following LAW-BOOKS, being come into the hands of Dan. Brown and John Nicholson, containing about 2400 Books of the Reports in Folio, and near 500 Books of Entries, and other valuable Law-Books in Folio, many of which are in several Volumes, and all of the best Editions: They are proposed to be disposed of in QUIRES, by Lots wherein will be no Blanks; every Person, putting in a Guinea, being sure of a Book or Books at least worth his Money, and 'tis not Two to One but he gets what is worth twice his Money, nor Four to One but he gets what is worth four times his Money, besides the First and Last Lot.
In Law-Books the very great Charge in Printing is to be consider'd; and 'tis ap [...]a [...]t the Adventures in this, one with another, get what cost near double the Money in Paper and Print, s [...] they can never be reprinted at any such Price, and all these are of the last Editions, with intire Tables, References, Judges Opinions, &c.
There is a farther Advantage to the Adventurers, that the taking off the whole Number will make the Books scarce, and so consequently very dear; so that in all probability the Person that gets the worst Lot for his Guinea, may in a little time sell it for more Money. For as in the Case of Modern Reports▪ Vaughans Reports, Stiles Reports, Jenkins Reports, and many more, being disperst in Gentlemens hands and scarce, will now yield above double the Money they did when Common; which will be the Case of these.
The PROPOSALS are,
That Fifteen Hundred Tickets be deliver'd out at a Guinea per Ticket; that it shall be drawn after the usual Method, by putting 1500 Numbers roll'd up in a Glass, and 1500 Tickets with some one or more of the following Books, according to this Scheme, in the other Glass; and these Gentlemen have promised to be present at the time of Rolling up the Tickets and Drawing, to see the whole managed with all Care and Faithfulness, viz. Sir Henry Chancey, Kt. Serjeant at Law; William Stringer, of Greys-Inn, Esq; James Wright, of the Middle-Temple, Esq; William Fisher, Gent. and Mr. Benj. Motte.
