Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Christie Collection: Comprising the Printed Books and Manuscripts Bequeathed to the Library of the University of Manchester by the Late Richard Copley Christie, LL. D For many years Mr. R. C. Christie, who had held the Professorships of History, of Political Economy, and of Jurisprudence in the Owens College (incorporated with the University of Manchester in had cherished the hope of seeing the College provided with a building for its Library, and had determined, in the event of no library being built during his lifetime, to provide by will for the erection of one. In 1892 the Whitworth legatees (of whom Mr. Christie was one) purchased and presented to the Owens College the valuable historical library formed by Professor Freeman, and the acquisition of this Collection, consisting of over 6000 volumes, emphasized the need for increased and more suitable library accommodation. In the following year Mr. Christie, finding that (in his own words) it seemed not impossible for me to carry out my wishes in my lifetime, addressed a letter to the Council offering to build a library at his own expense, and his generous offer was gratefully accepted. The building, known as the Christie Library, was commenced in 1895, and was formally Opened by the Duke of Devonshire in 1898.

Book excerpt: - Compiled with full access to Christie's famous archives - Reveals the romance, drama, intrigue - even danger - attached to some of the world's most storied jewels - Expertly curating Christie's extensive archives, Vincent Meylan has drawn out the key details of each momentous sale - Stories of the world's great jewelry collections For centuries, the stories of the world's great jewelry collections have lain hidden within the archives of Christie's, the celebrated auctioneers. From the tragic European queens, Mary, Queen of Scots and Marie Antoinette - both beheaded - to Hollywood royalty such as Elizabeth Taylor, the vaults sparkle with the most famous (and occasionally notorious) names of the last 250 years. Following on from the success of his books on Boucheron: The Secret Archives, Van Cleef & Arpels: Treasures and Legends and Mellerio: Jewellers to the Queens of Europe, author Vincent Meylan explores these remarkable jewelry archives, revealing the mysteries within for the first time. Each sale had its intrigue, each its story to tell. The first auction of jewelry from the British royal family took place at Christie's in 1773, after the death of the Princess of Wales, mother of George III. As the archives reveal, in the subsequent centuries, Christie's has been party to the sale of jewelry by several further generations of British royals, from Lady Patricia Ramsay and the Countess of Southesk through to Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. And, in the wake of revolution and regicide further afield, the crown jewels of France, Russia, Bavaria, Serbia, Egypt, India and Spain were all sold at Christie's. Aside from Elizabeth Taylor, the legendary movie star collections of Merle Oberon and Gloria Swanson are also revealed here, as well as the most famous pearls and diamonds in the world; each explored within the context of their owners' remarkable lives. Expertly curating the extensive archives, Vincent Meylan has drawn out the key details of each momentous sale. Original documents from the vaults are reproduced in the book, alongside hundreds of color illustrations of the jewels and their owners.
