		One of Britain's greatest privately-owned libraries is to be sold for more than £10 million because a bitter family dispute has forced its owner, the Earl of Macclesfield, to leave his ancestral home in a medieval castle.
		The Macclesfield Psalter is reportedly rather small, especially in comparison to the grand scale of other psalters of the same group; it is also fairly worn, from early reports.
		And the proposal that the Macclesfield, Gorleston, and Douai Psalters were all made to be used in the same church is also untenable: while the collects, calendar, and litany are nearly identical in Douai and Macclesfield, they are very different from those of Gorleston.

		It is stated, that "Lady Macclesfield having lived for sometime upon very uneasy terms with her husband, thought a publick confession of adultery the most obvious and expeditious method of obtaining her liberty;" and Johnson, assuming this to be true, stigmatises her with indignation, as "the wretch who had, without scruple, proclaimed herself an adulteress."
		That Lady Macclesfield was convicted of the crime of which she was accused, cannot be denied; but the question now is, whether the person calling himself Richard Savage was her son.
		It has been said,12 that when Earl Rivers was dying, and anxious to provide for all his natural children, he was informed by Lady Macclesfield that her son by him was dead.
