Books were taken first. They were a miscellaneous lot, and, it may be said, fetched more than they were worth. A parcel of "Dorian Grey" [sic] and Oscar Wilde's poems realised £2 2s.; a bundle of MSS. (really type-written) brought £5 15s.; and a parcel of books containing three copies of "Salome," [sic] bound in silk, "The Spirit Lamp," and Wilde's poems were knocked down for the sum of £4 15s. For a copy of "The Happy Princess; and Other Tales" [sic] (of which only seventy-five copies were printed), three copies of "The Sphrinx," [sic] bound in vellum, two large paper copies of "Lady Windermere's Fan," two copies of "Salome," and one of "A Woman of No Importance"—all sold in a bundle—£8 5s. was taken. Five copies of "Dorian Grey" [sic] fetched £3 3s. Thirteen volumes of the Parnell Commission were among the things found in the Wilde library.
