      note: "Morris’s collection was dispersed after his death. Though some of his books remained within the family, his executors, Sydney Cockerell and F. S. Ellis, arranged for a private sale of the rest of library to Richard Bennett, a Manchester collector, who quickly disposed of a large number of items that were subsequently offered at auction by Sotheby’s (London) in December 1898. Cf. P. Needham, 'William Morris and the Art of the Book (New York, 1976), pp. 21–47, and 'Under the Hammer: Book Auctions since the Seventeenth Century' (New Castle - London 2001), pp. 173–208."
