'Tho. Birch Martii 16 1754
The greatest part of this Collection of Mr Kemp had been made by Mr John Gaillard, who had been Governor to George the first Lord Carteret, created so 19 Oct 1681 & sold them to his Ld. for an annuity of 200 £. After the death of the Lord which happened 22 Sept 1695, Mr Kemp bought a considerable part of the collection, during the minority of John Lord Carteret, now Earl of Granville.<br>
This Remark was made by Heneage Earl of Winchelsea who saw many of the things in the possession of Mr Gaillard at Angers in France in the
Year 1676, and afterwards much increas’d at Paris in 1683.<br>
Mr Kemp’s Collection was sold by Auction at the Phoenix Tavern in Pall Mall on Thursday the 23rd, 24th, 25th, & 27th of March 1721, in 293 Articles, & the Amount of the Sale was £1090:8s:6d'
