I'd be happy just to page through them Iron Hoarder.
Looks like very interesting stuff.
Can't make out the title of the small book.

What was "The Company of Cutlers" ? Was it a professional association where cutlers would meet, drink beer and socialize ? I have not seen a knife marked with this name so i think it was not a manufacturer of knives.
