Do you mean the manuscript collector Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872)?
If so see

You could try the national register of archives to try and fins the bits you
are interested in

Subject: Phillip's MS Collection
Dear List
I'm trying to locate the Phillips' MS Collection referred to by the late
Justin
Brooke in his Brooke Index Devon. It is referred too around the mines of the
Tavistock district.
I believe it is/was in a private collection around the London area. If any
list
member can shed any light on this I would very much appreciate it. Many
thanks in advance for any help.
Kindest regards Chris Kelland
