Sir Frederic Madden's books

Chess book enthusiasts may be interested in this link to the catalogue of an auction of Sir Frederic Madden's books, held at Sotheby's on 7 August 1873. The chess is in Lots 84 to 154:

The final lot, 154, includes 24 Staunton autograph letters to Madden. Where are they today? (The British Library catalogue describes four Staunton letters to Madden.)
