Countless librarians and custodians over many years have helped in the putting together of the information in BOO, by providing access to their collections, and they have all played a part in making this resource possible.<br />
<br />
Philip Oldfield's agreement that we might use images from his indispensable [https://armorial.library.utoronto.ca/ Armorials Database] has been extremely helpful. <br />

===[[name::Katherine]] [[name::BLOUNT]] [[date of birth::1676]]-[[date of death::1753]]===<br />
<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
Daughter of [[family::James Butler]] and [[family::Grace Caldecott]], Blount was born at [[place of birth::Amberley Castle]] in Sussex. She married [[family::Sir Thomas Pope Blount]], 2nd Baronet in 1695. Little is known about her life, though she has been noted for some time as a book collector, and in article on [[location::Tyttenhanger]], the family seat, Jane Van Koughnet describes how she was “a brilliant woman, full of cleverness and highly cultivated, fond of poetry, a lover of all that was refined and artistic, interesting herself in the passing world of her day, and gifted with a mind full of energy.” Other members of the Blount family were known to have acquired significant libraries (see [[crossreference::Charles Blount 1654-1693]] and [[crossreference::Thomas Pope Blount 1649-1697]]). She left her books and other items to her son, [[beneficiary::Sir Harry Pope Blount]]; it is likely the books were sold by him at some point after her death. <br />
<br />
====Books==== <br />
Although she is mentioned as a book collector in William Carew Hazlitt’s bibliography ''A Roll of Honour: A Calendar of the Names of over 17,000 Men and Women Who Throughout the British Isles and in Our Early Colonies Have Collected MSS and Printed Books from the XIVth to the XIXth Century'', not many of her books had been identified until 2020, when a series of articles appeared on the blog Early Modern Female Book Ownership. Over 40 books have now been identified as having belonged to Katherine, in a variety of institutions as well as in private ownership. The books located so far show subjects covering literature, poetry and the natural sciences. It is not known when or how her library was dispersed, though several of her books appear in auction catalogues from the 20th century. Examples: Hertford College, Oxford, XXX.5.20; Houghton Library, Harvard *EC65 B6239 691ec; Library of Congress, QK711 .H2 1727.<br />
<br />
====Characteristic Markings====<br />
[[file:XXX.5.20 Katherine Blount.png|thumb|Manuscript inscription of Katherine Blount (Hertford College, Oxford)]]<br />
Blount usually marked her books in a very characteristic way, signing her name, often noting the price of the book or who gave it to her. She also annotated some of the texts with marginal notes.<br />

<p id="lead">''Book Owners Online'' has been made possible by grants from the Bibliographical Society, the Marc Fitch Fund, and the Lyell Fund at the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford, to whom we are very grateful. An anonymous donation funded the editorial post dedicated to Scottish entries.</p><br />
[[file:Vignette1.jpg|thumb|300px]]<br />
Countless librarians and custodians over many years have helped in the putting together of the information in BOO, by providing access to their collections, and they have all played a part in making this resource possible.<br />
<br />
Philip Oldfield's agreement that we might use images from his indispensable [https://armorial.library.utoronto.ca/ Armorials Database] has been extremely helpful. <br />
<br />
We are also grateful to the following libraries and booksellers for agreeing to allow images from their books to be used on BOO, without charge (and for often providing the images too):<br />

===[[name::Augustine]] [[name::LINDSELL]] d.[[date of death::1634]]===<br />
<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
Born at [[place of birth::Steeple Bumpstead, Essex]]. BA [[education::Clare College, Cambridge]] 1596, MA and [[occupation::fellow of Clare College, Cambridge|fellow]] 1599, DD 1621. [[occupation::rector|Rector]] of [[location::Molesworth, Huntingdonshire]] 1606, of [[location::Wickford, Essex]] 1610, [[occupation::prebendary]] of [[organisations::Lincoln Cathedral|Lincoln]] 1610. [[occupation::prebendary|Prebendary]] of [[organisations::Durham Cathedral|Durham]] 1619, supported by the patronage of [[crossreference::Richard Neile 1562-1640|Richard Neile]], Bishop of Durham; Lindsell was a member of a group of up and coming clergy sponsored by Neile, supporters of Arminian thinking, including [[crossreference::John Cosin 1595-1672|John Cosin]] and [[crossreference::Richard Montagu 1577-1641|Richard Montagu]]. Lindsell (like Cosin) was one of the targets of Peter Smart’s criticisms of ecclesiastical ceremonies introduced at Durham, which became a public controversy in 1628. He was appointed [[occupation::dean|Dean]] of [[organisations::Lichfield Cathedral|Lichfield]] 1628, [[occupation::bishop|Bishop]] of [[diocese::Peterborough]] in 1633, and translated to [[diocese::Hereford]] in 1634, where he died shortly afterwards, in the midst of a quarrel with his Dean and Chapter over the position of the altar.<br />
<br />
====Books====<br />
Lindsell is someone for whom we have tentative evidence of having had a significant library, but little that can be traced. A letter of 1635 refers to his collection being brought to [[location::London]] (for sale?), and to Lindsell valuing his printed books at [[monetary value::£800]], and his [[format::manuscripts]] at [[monetary value::£500]]. This would be a substantial library (Matthew’s 3000 books were valued at £600 in 1628). Lindsell was noted as a [[language::Greek]] scholar, and his edition of Theophylact was published posthumously in 1636 (STC 23948). <br />
<br />
Lindsell’s will, made in 1624, includes a number of detailed bequests of particular books to friends, including [[crossreference::John Buckeridge 1562?-1631|John Buckeridge]], [[crossreference::John Cosin 1595-1672|John Cosin]], [[crossreference::William Laud 1573-1645|William Laud]], [[crossreference::Richard Neile 1562-1640|Richard Neile]], [[associates::Robert Newell]] and [[crossreference::William Paddy 1554-1634|Sir William Paddy]]. To [[crossreference::Robert Cotton 1571-1631|Sir Robert Cotton]] he left a manuscript history of Ely Cathedral, though this cannot now be traced. He also bequeathed to [[organisations::Clare College, Cambridge|Clare College]] “all my [[language::Greek]] [[format::manuscripts]] my [[language::Greek]] rhetoricians” and a number of other specified [[language::Greek]] books. The fate of the library as a whole, beyond these named books, is not covered by this will; a codicil of 1634 directed that any residue of his estate should be divided out across his various legatees.<br />
<br />
The 1635 letter (from [[associates::John Houghton]] to [[associates::John Walker]] of [[location::Bury St Edmunds]]) states that the bulk of Lindsell’s [[format::manuscripts]] were given to [[crossreference::William Laud 1573-1645|Laud]], although this has been doubted. There are six [[format::manuscripts]] among Laud’s gift to the [[organisations::Bodleian Library]] in 1633 which have Lindsell’s inscription, which obviously passed to Laud before Lindsell’s death, but there is no evident Lindsell association among Laud’s later Oxford donations. A few books can be traced today, including some mentioned in his will as bequests, but most of what must once have been a significant library is now untraced. Examples: Cambridge UL MS Ff.3.2; Peterhouse, Cambridge O.3.9 (bequeathed to Cosin).<br />

There are six [[format::manuscripts]] among Laud’s gift to the [[organisations::Bodleian Library]] in 1633 which have Lindsell’s inscription, which obviously passed to Laud before Lindsell’s death, but there is no evident Lindsell association among Laud’s later Oxford donations. A few books can be traced today, including some mentioned in his will as bequests, but most of what must once have been a significant library is now untraced. Examples: Cambridge UL MS Ff.3.2; Peterhouse, Cambridge O.3.9 (bequeathed to Cosin).<br />

====Biographical Note====<br />
Born at [[place of birth::Steeple Bumpstead, Essex]]. BA [[education::Clare College, Cambridge]] 1596, MA and [[occupation::fellow of Clare College, Cambridge|fellow]] 1599, DD 1621. [[occupation::rector|Rector]] of [[location::Molesworth, Huntingdonshire]] 1606, of [[location::Wickford, Essex]] 1610, [[occupation::prebendary]] of [[organisations::Lincoln Cathedral|Lincoln]] 1610. [[occupation::prebendary|Prebendary]] of [[organisations::Durham Cathedral|Durham]] 1619, supported by the patronage of [[crossreference::Richard Neile]], Bishop of Durham; Lindsell was a member of a group of up and coming clergy sponsored by Neile, supporters of Arminian thinking, including [[crossreference::John Cosin 1595-1672|John Cosin]] and [[crossreference::Richard Montagu]]. Lindsell (like Cosin) was one of the targets of Peter Smart’s criticisms of ecclesiastical ceremonies introduced at Durham, which became a public controversy in 1628. He was appointed [[occupation::dean|Dean]] of [[organisations::Lichfield Cathedral|Lichfield]] 1628, [[occupation::bishop|Bishop]] of [[diocese::Peterborough]] in 1633, and translated to [[diocese::Hereford]] in 1634, where he died shortly afterwards, in the midst of a quarrel with his Dean and Chapter over the position of the altar.<br />
<br />
====Books====<br />
Lindsell is someone for whom we have tentative evidence of having had a significant library, but little that can be traced. A letter of 1635 refers to his collection being brought to [[location::London]] (for sale?), and to Lindsell valuing his printed books at [[monetary value::£800]], and his [[format::manuscripts]] at [[monetary value::£500]]. This would be a substantial library (Matthew’s 3000 books were valued at £600 in 1628). Lindsell was noted as a [[language::Greek]] scholar, and his edition of Theophylact was published posthumously in 1636 (STC 23948). <br />
<br />
Lindsell’s will, made in 1624, includes a number of detailed bequests of particular books to friends, including [[crossreference::John Buckeridge 1562?-1631|John Buckeridge]], [[crossreference::John Cosin 1595-1672|John Cosin]], [[crossreference::William Laud 1573-1645|William Laud]], [[crossreference::Richard Neile]], [[associates::Robert Newell]] and [[crossreference::Sir William Paddy]]. To [[crossreference::Robert Cotton 1571-1631|Sir Robert Cotton]] he left a manuscript history of Ely Cathedral, though this cannot now be traced. He also bequeathed to [[organisations::Clare College, Cambridge|Clare College]] “all my [[language::Greek]] [[format::manuscripts]] my [[language::Greek]] rhetoricians” and a number of other specified [[language::Greek]] books. The fate of the library as a whole, beyond these named books, is not covered by this will; a codicil of 1634 directed that any residue of his estate should be divided out across his various legatees.<br />
<br />
The 1635 letter (from [[associates::John Houghton]] to [[associates::John Walker]] of [[location::Bury St Edmunds]]) states that the bulk of Lindsell’s [[format::manuscripts]] were given to [[crossreference::William Laud 1573-1645|Laud]], although this has been doubted. There are six [[format::manuscripts]] among Laud’s gift to the [[organisations::Bodleian Library]] in 1633 which have Lindsell’s inscription, which obviously passed to Laud before Lindsell’s death, but there is no evident Lindsell association among Laud’s later Oxford donations.

<br />
===[[name::Henry]] [[name::WINDER]] [[date of birth::1693]]-[[date of death::1752]]===<br />
<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
Son of [[family::Henry Winder]] (d.1733), farmer, of [[location::Hutton John, Cumberland]]. Attended [[education::Penruddock Grammar School]] and entered the [[education::Whitehaven Academy]] in 1708. He later studied under [[associate::Joseph Boyse]] in Dublin where he gained his licence to preach in 1714. Ordained 1716, he spent the rest of his life as minister of the dissenting congregation at [[location::Castle Hey, Liverpool]], which later moved to Benn's Garden, Red Cross Street.<br />
<br />
====Books====<br />
Winder collected a valuable library of books and manuscripts which he [[bequest::left]] to his congregation. These eventually ended up at [[organisations::Renshaw Street Chapel]] and were given to [[organisations::Manchester College]] (now Harris Manchester College, Oxford) by the successor to Renshaw Street, the [[organisations::Ullet Road Church]], in 1919, where they remain. His [[format::printed]] books reflect his interests in [[subject::dissenting literature]] and [[subject::bible|biblical interpretation]] as well as [[subject::chronology]], [[subject::history]], and [[subject::science|scientific works]] such as the first edition of Newton’s Principia. He also owned several works printed locally to him in [[location::Boston]] and [[location::Liverpool]]. Some of his [[format::manuscripts]] appear to have been lost but a few notebooks and letters remain in the archives at [[organisations::Harris Manchester College]]. Examples: many at Harris Manchester College.<br />
<br />
====Characteristic Markings====<br />
Winder inscribed all his books and tracts; many also have an institutional bookplate of the [[organisations::Unitarian Chapel]] at [[location::Renshaw Street, Liverpool]].<br />

[[file:CharlettBookplate.jpg|thumb|Charlett's bookplate (British Museum Franks Collection 5614)]]<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
Born at [[place of birth::Shipton, Gloucestershire]], son of [[family::Arthur Charlett 1620/1-1700|Arthur Charlett]], [[occupation::rector]] of [[location::Collingbourne Ducis, Wiltshire]]. BA [[education::Trinity College, Oxford]] 1673, MA 1676, [[occupation::fellow of Trinity College, Oxford|fellow]] 1680, BD 1684, DD 1692, the year in which he became [[occupation::master]] of [[organisations::University College, Oxford]]. He became much involved in university affairs, and politics, and had a reputation as a gossip and a place-seeker; he was also, however, supportive of many contemporary scholars such as [[associates::Humphrey Wanley]] and [[crossreference::George Hickes 1642-1715|George Hickes]]. He became [[occupation::vicar]] of [[location::Hambleden, Buckinghamshire]] in 1707 and was a royal chaplain 1697-1717. He was an active delegate of the University Press, but published little himself.<br />
<br />
====Books====<br />
Charlett assembled an extensive library and he is noted as the commissioner of the first bookpile bookplate to have been made in Britain (Franks 5614); it was designed by [[crossreference::Samuel Pepys 1633-1703|Samuel Pepys]], who was approached with the request by Charlett in 1698. He died intestate and part of his library was sold to an Oxford bookseller for 500 guineas, before being auctioned in [[location::London]], beginning 24 August 1723. No catalogue survives, but the sale was advertised in the ''Evening Post'' as "a collection of very valuable books in most languages and faculties, consisting of near 4000 volumes". Many of Charlett's books, however, rather than being auctioned off, remained at University College and now form part of the Browne Library (which is fully searchable on Oxford's SOLO). This seems to have been a result of the mastership dispute that followed Charlett's death. When the Browne Library was catalogued, starting in around 2002, Charlett's plate was found underneath many of Browne's book labels. There are some manuscript hand lists remaining in the Library at University College, which are in the process of being transcribed so they can be compared to the books in the Browne Library. More information can be found by searching the University College website for 'Arthur Charlett'. His collection of coins and medals was sold separately, and his papers went to his nephew [[family::Thomas Rawlins]] (these were later given to the [[present repository::Bodleian Library]]).<br />

There are many surviving examples, in libraries around the world, of books carrying a late 17th or early 18th century black ink stamp showing a heraldic crest of a ram standing between two olive branches, with the name "SHEPPARD" beneath. These stamps usually also have a large ink-stamped number beneath, and sometimes a letter written over the back of the ram. They suggest a family library of some size, and as the numbers are not unique to individual books - there are multiple examples carrying the same numbers - they are evidently not a sequential numbering system, book by book, but presumably reflect shelves or perhaps some kind of subject classification.<br />
<br />
It has been suggested that the stamp is associated with the family of Thomas Sheppard, of [[location::Lydcott]] or [[location::Littlecote, Buckinghamshire]], who is recorded as a "gentleman" there, who was involved in managing £4000 on behalf of the Buckinghamshire local administration in the late 1730s, and who left in his will his "study of books" (along with other goods) to his eldest son [[family::Thomas Sheppard|Thomas]]. There was also a family of Sheppards in [[location::Frome, Somerset]] who were prominent cloth manufacturers and merchants between the 17th and 19th centuries, owning significant property there. The crest of a ram (or lamb) passant between two olive branches could apply to any of these families. At the present time, definite identification of the owner(s) of these books is uncertain; it may be noted that none of the books on Philip Allfrey's list (see below) has an imprint later than 1700.<br />
<br />
Examples: Philip Allfrey has compiled a [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-Jae2_yLRDXPJn2sLQN-x9LkSSgmF3xsCig6k_H1RJc/edit#gid=0 spreadsheet] listing over 40 examples, but there are more surviving.<br />

===[[name::Francis]] [[name::THYNNE]] [[date of birth::1545]]?-[[date of death::1608]]===<br />
<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
Born at [[place of birth::Erith, Kent]], son of [[family::William Thynne]], known for his editing of Chaucer. He was admitted at [[organisations::Lincoln's Inn]] in 1561, but seems not to have stayed long; it is not clear whether he developed a legal practice as an [[occupation::attorney]]. He lived much of his life in straitened circumstances, with support from wealthier members of his family (particularly Sir [[family::John Thynne]] of Longleat House). He was appointed Lancaster [[occupation::Herald]] in 1602.<br />
<br />
====Books====<br />
Thynne was an active acquirer of books and manuscripts and he accumulated a large library (including Chaucer [[format::manuscripts]] inherited from his father). "He spent his life in libraries and his study" (''ODNB''), and as a member of the Elizabethan Society of Antiquaries he was associated with many of the other members of that group, including [[crossreference::William Camden 1551-1623|William Camden]], Sir [[crossreference::Robert Cotton 1571-1631|Robert Cotton]], William Lambarde and John Stow. He transcribed and edited numerous texts from manuscript sources, which were variously published after his death. He left extensive manuscript and printed collections which were dispersed after his death and items will be found today in research libraries around the world.<br />

===[[name::Richard]] [[name::CAREW]] [[date of birth::1555]]-[[date of death::1620]]===<br />
<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
Born at [[place of birth::Antony, Cornwall]], son of [[family::Thomas Carew]], landowner; Richard inherited the family estate there in 1564 when his father died. Matriculated at [[education::Christ Church, Oxford]] ca.1566, but did not graduate; also admitted at the [[organisations::Middle Temple]]. [[occupation::JP]] 1581, [[occupation::MP]] for [[location::Saltash]] 1584, for [[location::Mitchell]] 1597. [[occupation::Sheriff]] of [[location::Cornwall]] 1586. Beyond his work in managing his estates and his wider official duties, he was a [[occupation::scholar]] and an author, and a member of the Elizabethan [[organisations::Society of Antiquaries]]; he is best known for his [[book title ::''Survey of Cornwall'']] (1602), but also published [[translator::translations]] of Tasso's [[book title ::''Gerusalemme liberata'']] ([[book title ::''Godfrey of Bulloigne'']], [[date of publication::1594]]) and Huarte's [[book title ::''Examen de ingenios'']] ([[book title ::''The Examination of men's wits'']], [[date of publication::1594]]).<br />
<br />
====Books==== <br />
Carew was a learned and book-loving man; his [[family::son]] left a [[format::manuscript]] including a description of early 17th-century life at [[location::Antony]], saying that Carew "without a teacher ... learned the [[language::Greek]], [[language::Dutch]], [[language::French]], [[language::Spanish]] and [[language::Italian]] tongues ... He ever delighted in reading ... for if he had none other hindrance, going or riding he would ever have a book and be reading". When [[associates::Thomas James]] approached Carew for donations to the new [[organisations::Bodleian Library]], he replied with a description of his library, and the difficulties of obtaining books from rural [[location::Cornwall]]: "[[format::manuscript|Manuscripts]] I have fewe, and those such as have alreadie past the presse: not that I want desire to furnish myself with better store: but my dwelling having confined me to this angle of our worlde, hath ... deprived me of the meanes to get them, I can therefore say only of my bookes (which I use as playfellowes, & not as schoolemasters) ... that they are few and evell: the bulke of them consisting only of those which by the catalogues I could procure from the Frankford-marts". Despite this modest description, we may note that [[associates::Thomas James|James]] wrote to Carew because [[associates::the Earl of Arundel]], having seen Carew's library, thought this might be worthwhile. Carew's will has no mention of books; his library would have passed, with the rest of his estate, to his eldest [[subsequent owner::son]] [[family::Richard Carew|Richard]] (d.1643, created a baronet 1641).<br />

Stone's background and career have not been traced; he was a member of the [[organisations::Inner Temple]].

Stone used an engraved armorial bookplate, noting himself as "of the Inner Temple, gent", surviving in two different states (Franks 28259-60). In his will, he left to his son "such of my books as my wife shall think it worth while or be advised to keep for him", directing that his nephews might have use of them until his son was ready for them; books not selected were to be sold.<br />

===Sir [[name::Gilbert]] [[name::ELLIOT]], 2nd baronet ca.[[date of birth::1693]]-[[date of death::1766]]===<br />
<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
Son of Sir [[family::Gilbert Elliot]] (1650/51–1718), legal [[occupation::writer]] and Covenanter, who was created 1st Baronet of Minto in April 1700. In 1703, the first baronet purchased Minto House near [[location::Hawick, Roxburghshire]], which served as the family seat until the mid-twentieth century. Sir Gilbert Elliot, 2nd Bart, enrolled at the [[education::University of Utrecht]] in 1712 to study civil law and was admitted advocate of the Scots bar in July 1715. He succeeded to the Minto estate and baronetcy in 1718 and served as [[occupation::MP]] of [[location::Roxburghshire]] in 1722-1726. In 1726, he was appointed to the bench in the Court of Session, adopting the legal title Lord Minto. From 1733 to 1763, he was a Lord of Justiciary, and in 1763, he was promoted to [[occupation::Lord Justice Clerk]], which position he held until his death. He split most of his time between Minto House in Roxburghshire and his townhouse in Edinburgh, also called Minto House.<br />
<br />
Elliot was a member of the Worthies Club, the Philosophical Society, the Edinburgh Musical Society, the Society in Scotland for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge, and the Society of Improvers in the Knowledge of Agriculture in Scotland. He was a shareholder in the [[organisations::British Linen Bank]] and the [[organisations::Royal Bank of Scotland]]. While serving on the bar, he was appointed to the committee responsible for the Faculty of Advocates library, and he was a subscriber to numerous contemporary publications. He almost certainly authored or co-authored (with his son, Sir Gilbert Elliot, 3rd Bart) the anonymous tract, ''Proposals for carrying on certain public works in the city of Edinburgh'' [Edinburgh, 1752].<br />
<br />
====Books====<br />
Elliot is credited with establishing the family library (Elliot, p. 311). A manuscript library catalogue entitled, ''A catalogue of books belonging to the hon[ora]ble Sir Gilbert Elliot of Minto Bart, one of the Senators of the Colledge of Justice'' (Edinburgh, 1738), is held by the Grolier Club of New York (call no. \*08.25\M667\1738\Folio). It is the earliest in a group of eight manuscript and typescript catalogues of the Minto library dating between 1738 and 1938, all held by the [[organisations::Grolier Club]] and bearing the bookplate of A.N.L. Munby. (They were probably acquired in the 1960s as part of an exchange between Munby and Grolier Club Librarian Gabriel Austin, but the documentation has not been found to confirm.) The catalogue lists approximately 1600 titles in approximately 2250 volumes, arranged alphabetically. The entries record author, title, size, place of publication, date, and number of volumes. The library was rich in [[subject::law|legal texts]], [[subject::history]], politics, [[subject::classics]], and [[subject::literature|belles lettres]]. Approximately 1500 titles date between 1600 and 1738, of which over half are later than 1701. Over a third of the books were printed in London; 84 were printed in Edinburgh, ranging in date between 1582 and 1737. The library contained mainly printed books, but a few contemporary manuscripts were also present.<br />
<br />
In 1738, Minto House in Roxburghshire began undergoing a major renovation after a design by William Adam, which included the installation of a skied library. Since the library catalogue was produced in Edinburgh in the same year, it may have been made in connection with the upcoming move. Included with the catalogue is a hastily compiled manuscript inventory representing an earlier phase of the project, which includes the same titles organized by location into “the middle press below the stairs” and “Lord Minto’s drawing room below the stairs.”<br />
<br />
The principal Elliot family library remained at Minto House until the mid-twentieth century, where it was added to by successive baronets and earls of Minto. An itemized typescript shelf inventory taken in 1938 listed over 12,000 volumes, including many titles from the 1738 catalogue (Grolier Club, \*08.26\M667\1938). Minto House was requisitioned during World War II and abandoned by the family either at that time or shortly before. Approximately 1500 volumes of books were sold at Sotheby’s on 22-24 January 1951 (lots 583-894), and the remainder were likely sold through the trade around the same time. An earlier sale in Edinburgh by Dowell on 22-25 March 1920 included seventy-four lots of books, watercolors, drawings, and engravings (lots 992-1065). After serving as the Craigmount girls’ boarding school from 1952 to 1966, Minto House was repurchased by the sixth earl of Minto in 1972 and demolished in 1992.<br />

====Characteristic Markings====<br />
A copy of Sir George Mackenzie's ''An Idea of the Modern Eloquence of the Bar'' (Edinburgh: Robert Freebairn, 1711) in the collection of Blackie House Library and Museum, Edinburgh, is inscribed with the baronet’s initials “S.G.E.,” as well as “S” and “P2” in an old hand(s) which may represent shelfmark(s). No other examples of this ownership inscription have been found.<br />
<br />
Several of the books listed in the 1738 catalogue have been found in institutional and private collections bearing a later (ca. 1800-1815?) engraved Minto book label (Franks 20703). A number of these show evidence of one or more earlier handwritten shelfmarks below the label — some with strike-through marks — which may have been associated with the eighteenth-century library. Some also have visible letters and/or numbers in an old hand which could also be related to this phase. One copy has “G Elliot” handwritten below the bookmark, but it is unclear whether this represents the second baronet. The few dozen copies inspected thus far show no evidence of annotations and are in various binding styles, several contemporary with the imprints. Research is ongoing.

===Sir [[name::Gilbert]] [[name::ELLIOT]], 2nd baronet ca.[[date of birth::1693]]-[[date of death::1766]]===<br />
<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
Son of Sir [[family::Gilbert Elliot]] (1650/51–1718), legal [[occupation::writer]] and Covenanter, who was created 1st Baronet of Minto in April 1700. In 1703, the first baronet purchased Minto House near [[location::Hawick, Roxburghshire]], which served as the family seat until the mid-twentieth century. Sir Gilbert Elliot, 2nd Bart, enrolled at the [[education::University of Utrecht]] in 1712 to study civil law and was admitted advocate of the Scots bar in July 1715. He succeeded to the Minto estate and baronetcy in 1718 and served as [[occupation::MP]] of [[location::Roxburghshire]] in 1722-1726. In 1726, he was appointed to the bench in the Court of Session, adopting the legal title Lord Minto. From 1733 to 1763, he was a Lord of Justiciary, and in 1763, he was promoted to [[occupation::Lord Justice Clerk]], which position he held until his death. He split most of his time between Minto House in Roxburghshire and his townhouse in Edinburgh, also called Minto House.<br />
<br />
Elliot was a member of the Worthies Club, the Philosophical Society, the Edinburgh Musical Society, the Society in Scotland for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge, and the Society of Improvers in the Knowledge of Agriculture in Scotland. He was a shareholder in the [[organisations::British Linen Bank]] and the [[organisations::Royal Bank of Scotland]]. While serving on the bar, he was appointed to the committee responsible for the Faculty of Advocates library, and he was a subscriber to numerous contemporary publications. He almost certainly authored or co-authored (with his son, Sir Gilbert Elliot, 3rd Bart) the anonymous tract, ''Proposals for carrying on certain public works in the city of Edinburgh'' [Edinburgh, 1752].<br />
<br />
====Books====<br />
Elliot is credited with establishing the family library (Elliot, p. 311). A manuscript library catalogue entitled, ''A catalogue of books belonging to the hon[ora]ble Sir Gilbert Elliot of Minto Bart, one of the Senators of the Colledge of Justice'' (Edinburgh, 1738), is held by the Grolier Club of New York (call no. \*08.25\M667\1738\Folio). It is the earliest in a group of eight manuscript and typescript catalogues of the Minto library dating between 1738 and 1938, all held by the [[organisations::Grolier Club]] and bearing the bookplate of A.N.L. Munby. (They were probably acquired in the 1960s as part of an exchange between Munby and Grolier Club Librarian Gabriel Austin, but the documentation has not been found to confirm.) The catalogue lists approximately 1600 titles in approximately 2250 volumes, arranged alphabetically. The entries record author, title, size, place of publication, date, and number of volumes.

Approximately 1500 titles date between 1600 and 1738, of which over half are later than 1701. Over a third of the books were printed in London; 84 were printed in Edinburgh, ranging in date between 1582 and 1737.
