Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Books, Manuscripts, Works of Art, Antiquities, and Relics, Illustrative of the Life and Works of Shakespeare, and of the History of Stratford-Upon-Avon: Which Are Preserved in the Shakespeare Library and Museum in Henley Street For upwards of half a century the late Mr. Wheler diligently occupied himself in the completion of one of the most remarkable local antiquarian collections ever formed by a single individual. The following pages, being merely a brief hand-list of these treasures, convey a very inadequate idea of their importance and value; but as the construction of a more elaborate calendar would have required a con siderable time, it was thought that a sketch of the contents of the collection would be an acceptable 0 ering to the public, especially to the inhabitants of Stratford, who will not fail to appreciate the generosity of Miss Wheler in presenting the Town with so important a gift, and the judgment which dictated the place of its locality. It would not only have been sad, and an injury to the local topographical literature, had these collections, formed by so much labour and anxiety, ever been dispersed; but they would have lost much of their interest and value had they been allowed to depart from Stratford.
