Thomas Davies (1737-1812)
« on: Sunday 12 May 24 13:39 BST (UK) »
Dear all,

I'm looking if some-one has a lead to an auction/sale catalogue from (general) Thomas Davies from Blackheath (buried in Greenwich). I know after his death the collection was auctioned of, but I can't trace any sale catalogue. Any one a lead or direction for me?

Yours, Justin

The catalogue must be from June 1812.

This is great, this confirms at least that there is a catalogue, and it narrower our search field. Thanks once again, all info extra is very welcome.

Had you checked out the link to the Earl of Derby's collection
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Davies_(British_Army_officer)

Added - the link not returning required page. Just click on "Did you mean" link.

Have you checked with the Royal Society?

Yes, I have been to the library and archives, but failed to find there the catalogue.
