There is also a good collection of autographs, the oldest of which is that of Henry VII. The signatures of Elizabeth, with her Council, and of her successor, Queen Mary, are worthy of notice ; also those of Oliver Cromwell and Richard Cromwell, presented by the late Ohver Cromwell. ^ We have also to notice, in this collection, an original of Addison's Spectator, and a letter of Pope's, never before published, addressed to Lord Bathurst. Our readers, we are sure^ will be pleased with its insertion.
