Summary:
Manuscripts received from [William] Roscoe, including Caesar's "Commentaries" and "Praeses fid."; and a Livy which is apparently the actual copy sent by Cosmo de Medici to Alfonso, King of Naples, as a peace offering and mentioned in Roscoe's "Life of Lorenzo de Medici". Roscoe informs him that Mr Jones has adopted Smith's advice for a regular system of "three [book] binders besides himself constantly employed". Roscoe has sat for his portrait with [Sir Martin Archer] Shee [(1769-1850) portrait painter and writer].
