The collection of the Austrian general von Hohendorff was purchased en bloc by the Royal Library at Vienna. "Although this library of 6787 printed books and 252 manuscripts does not rank with the largest collections of the eighteenth century, the choice of books and the organization of the catalogue make it important"--Taylor, Book Catalogues, page 246. Pollard & Ehrman 240. This copy is bound in the style of books from the Pembroke Library; see De Ricci, pages 40-41 (with illustration).
