A perusal of this catalogue will show the pres ent collection to be both more extensive and of far greater historical importance. It is, also, of the greater interest, as containing a number of letters wholly in the handwriting of Washington, while the Clinton series did not contain one. When we add that these holograph letters in question include some of the longest and most interesting ever written by Washington and also that they have never been printed the point will at once be conceded.
