Abstract
THE inventory of the goods and chattels of Sir Robert Cotton taken on 20 May 1631, two weeks after his death, records that the upper study at Cotton House, Westminster, was furnished, inter alia, with 'i iron prese & ix presses with printed bookes'. This brief reference draws attention to a subject which has so far received very little consideration- the question of the history, character and present whereabouts of Sir Robert Cotton's library of printed books.
