====Biographical Note====

Little of Salusbury’s background and career details  has so far been established.

He was in receipt of an army  pension of £250 in 1716.

====Books====

He had an engraved armorial  bookplate bearing the year 1698  (Franks *382): ‘Lt. Colonell Charles Salusbury, Captain in his Majesties Coldstreame Regiment of Foot Guards’.  The content and the disposition of his library are not known.
