Abstract
While researching the library collections of 17th century merchants, the author discovered the details of the Clitherows’ substantial private library of books and manuscripts within almost 800 files of family archives at the London Metropolitan Archives. Using family book lists, details of purchases, catalogues prepared for future sales and surviving books in collections across the world, he has reconstructed their interests in the 17th and 18th centuries and revealed part of the library of Boston Manor House.
