William , 2nd Duke of Devonshire.

1665-1729. The nucleus of the Collection of Drawings, at Chatsworh, his Grace purchased from Nicolas Anthoni Flinck, of Rotterdam (see No. 180), for 12,000 florins. Claude’s Liber Veritatis, which at his death in 1682, he left entailed to Agnes, a girl of eleven years of age (see L ’Art, No. 386, May 21st, 1882, p. 142); it was acquired by the Duke, after consider­ able difficulty, the moment the entail came to an end, and the last owner was able to dispose of
the volume. Louis XIV. tried in vain to buy it through Cardinal d’ Estrees, his Ambassador at Rome. “ Duplicates of the Library of his Grace, William Spencer, Duke of Devonshire,” sold at Evans’s, November 24th (6 days), 1815.
