Henry BOOTH, 1st Earl of Warrington 1652-94
Biographical Note
Statesman, custos rotulorum (keeper of the rolls) for the county of Chester.
Books
Although the family house and library at Dunham Massey were substantially enhanced by his son George, the 2nd Earl (1675-1758), it is clear that many of the 17th century books there were acquired by Henry, whose posthumously-published works make it clear that he had a substantial private library.
