Transcript of Observations, anecdotes and characters of books and men collected from conversations, 4 v., by Joseph Spence [manuscript], ca. 1750.

The text printed in great part in his Anecdotes edited by S.W. Singer, 1820. Note by Richard Garnett suggests, improbably (see Joseph Spence by A. Wright, 1850), that the copy may have been made for the Rev. William Beloe; it was given by Spence's executors to the Duke of Newcastle, 1771, and was given to Garnett by Una Fradelle, 1893.
