The Bancroft Collection
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
The Baker Library is particularly happy to announce the gift by Mrs. Hugh Bancroft of Boston, of an exceptionally rich and complete collection on the South Sea Bubble. The collection contains books and pamphlets, with many manuscripts, broadsides, Acts of Parliament, and other fugitive items relating to this strange episode. Except, perhaps, for the material scattered on the shelves of the British Museum, no collection rivals this which was assembled by the late Hugh Bancroft, in its fullness for a history of the South Sea speculation.
