Spencer writes 'Having understood from Mr. Grenville that you are desirious of referring to the edition of Theocritus printed by Callierges & having fortunately a duplicate copy of that book by me; I have desired Mr Bliss who is returning from here to Oxford to take charge of the volume & beg you would do me the favour to accept it. The copy was in my original library here & formely belonged to Dr George the headmaster of Eton'. Literature: Adams T460; Mortimer, Italian, 497; K. Staikos, Charta of Greek Printing, pp.412-415
