Johnson, W.J. & J. Richardson, et al., 1806, engraved portrait frontispiece to plate volume, folding engraved map hand-coloured in outline, 35 double-page and 3 single-page maps, plans & plates (few maps hand-coloured in outline), contemporary speckled calf, gilt decorated spines with some labels lacking, spines worn, joints cracked, upper board of plate volume detached, 8vo & 4to (8)

4 Cherry-Garrard (Apsley, 1886-1959). The Worst Journey in the World: Antarctic 1910-1913, One Volume Edition [Library Edition], London: published by the author and distributed for him by Chatto & Windus, 1951, coloured frontispiece, 8 plain plates and 4 maps including 2 folding, signed ink presentation inscription from the author to front free endpaper, ‘To Mrs Reynell in gratitude, 1947 to 1951, from Apsley Cherry-Garrard, October 25th 1951, partly uncut, original blue cloth gilt in dust jacket, slightly dust-soiled and chipped at edges, with a little loss to upper margins, large 8vo Spence 286. The first edition of Cherry-Garrard’s Antarctic Classic to contain the author’s Postscript written in 1948. A nice copy of an important association item. The recipient of this copy was Una Mary, the widow of the psychiatrist Walter Rupert Reynell (18851948). Cherry-Garrard had been deeply affected by the deaths, particularly those of Wilson and Bowers, with whom he had made the journey to Cape Crozier on Robert Falcon Scott’s Terranova Expedition. He suffered from depression and what is now called post-traumatic stress disorder for the rest of his life. Cherry continually revisited the question of what alternative choices and actions might have saved the South Pole team, notably in this classic book, The Worst Journey in the World, first published in 1922. Rupert Reynell was one of the psychiatrists who looked after him from 1947 and got him on his feet again after a cataleptic stroke in the summer of 1946, which had left him bedridden for nearly a year. Sadly, Cherry’s good friend Reynell died suddenly in 1948, but for some six years Cherry was mentally happy and became interested in, among other things, book-collecting and cruising in the Mediterranean. However, with inexplicable suddenness Cherry broke down again in the Autumn of 1953, being thereafter cared for by Dr. Gordon Mathias until his death in 1959. (1) £1,000 - £1,500

7 Japanese Land Register. Okinogo, Yamada-gun, Gunma Prefecture, [1883], lithographically printed book from manuscript plans, comprising a key leaf and 77 map leaves printed in black, red, blue and green, and 3 end leaves of text printed in black, versos blank, original stab-stitched wrappers with lithographically printed details to upper wrapper (rubbed) and including the stamp of the owner Mr. Nakamura, slightly creased and dust-soiled, oblong folio (33 x 47cm) This land register was completed following the Meiji land tax reforms in the 1870s. The Meiji policy led to the abolition of feudal land ownership, provisions for payment of land tax by land owners registered on the land certificate and provision for assessing land tax at 3% of the production value of land. The maps show the addresses and land size and each have a compass and stamp of Mr. Nakamura, while the text leaves give names of people and their responsibilities in the area. Yamada District was formerly a rural district located in Gunma Prefecture and is now entirely part of the cities of Kiryu, Midori and Ota, with a small portion a part of the city of Ashikaga in neighbouring Tochigi Prefecture. The Yamada District was created in 1878 with the reorganisation of Gunma Prefecture into districts. It included some 60 villages which, with the establishment of the municipality system in 1889, was organised into two towns (Kiyru and Omama) and eight villages. (1) £500 - £800

As you run along - thus - you will soon discern the low shrubby land - called ye palsades - where this low land joins the high land you are running along - is a fort call’d Rock Fort. SSW from this fort - three or four miles is a number of sunken rocks which ye sea beaks upon & which you must be sure to leave on your starbord hand & continue to run along the palisades - but come not nearer than two cables length - when you are high enough up to observe Port Royal, keep the middle of Fort Charles (which stands on Port Royal point) directly in a line with the whole way on Saltpond Hll - this will run you between a point on ye palisades call’d Plump Point about one mile - continue with ye above marks in one till ye make ye keys. The First is call’d Lime Bay - to be left on your harbourd hand. As soon as you pass this you will see two other keys right ahead - the Northwest one call’d Gun Key - the Southwest call’d Wreckams... As soon as you open Port Royal Church to ye west’d of Charlesfort you are clear of those knowles & may hall in to Port Royal Harbour to anchor - there is good watering at Rock
Fort & plenty of wood on the Island to be purchased of the inhabitants.

May’, some crossings-through, small splits, a little light soiling, folds, folio, 32 x 20cm (12.5 x 8 in) Detailed manuscript instructing a captain of a vessel entering Port Royal Harbour, Jamaica. Port Royal, lying at the mouth of Kingston Harbour in southeastern Jamaica was a former Spanish colony until captured by the English in 1655 and served as the unofficial capital of Jamaica until destroyed in an earthquake in 1692. Before the earthquake it was a base for privateers and pirates, used by governors of Jamaica to defend the port, among them Henry Morgan and later Blackbeard (Edward Teach or Thatch) who used the port to attack Spanish shipping and became a notorious hotbed of drunken debauchery and prostitution. After Henry Morgan was appointed was Lieutenant Governor in 1674, antipiracy laws were enacted and Gallows Point in Port Royal became the place of execution of many pirates, including Calico Jack and Charles Vane. The Royal Navy expanded the port into a naval base from 1735, adding dockyards, wharves, and a Royal naval hospital. (1) £200 - £300

Charting a two-week sojourn to Bristol and surrounding area, this skilfullyillustrated journal is by little-known artist Charlotte Girdlestone; a sketchbook by Charlotte is held by The National Archives, containing scenes in Cheshire drawn between 1837 and 1842, and a lithographic panorama of Regent’s Park was sold at auction recently which was annotated in pencil: “Drawn on stone by Charlotte Girdlestone, between 1830 & 1835.” Amongst religious musings and extensive descriptions of flora, there are many mentions of excursions to places around Bristol, for example the writer describes a service at Bristol Cathedral, a trip to Clifton Downs, where the party view the Camera Obscura at the Observatory, and glimpse Cook’s Folly “guarded from a lady’s approach, by the abominations of a Beer shop and Tea gardens”, a visit “to the Hotwells, where I drank the tepid water of the Spring ... “, and trips to the Zoological Gardens, Almondsbury Hill, Penpole Hill, the Ropeworks, Mr. Gassaway’s Nursery Gardens, Henbury Cottages, and the Church of St. Mary, Redcliffe where Hogarth’s Altarpiece was examined and the tower ascended. Unsurprisingly there is an emphasis on painting and the arts, the writer making note of her own time spent drawing or arranging portfolios, as well as such notable occasions as a trip to Windsor Terrace, Clifton where “I did not see Mr. Rippingille’s pictures” (presumably Bristol School artist Edward Villers Rippingille), although a subsequent trip was more successful “Admired pictures in Mr. West’s Studio”. An outing to see Mr. William’s Cabinet of Minerals is described at length, and at the Academy of Arts the writer “examined the pictures for an hour” detailing certain pieces by Syers, Wolfe, Curnock, Simmons, Jackson. An evening is described in which “Mr. William brought home from a Sale, 3 boxes of Medallions in Plaster of Paris and Terra Cotta, most beautiful ... If each mind has its peculiar element of sympathetic pleasure, I think mine is in beauty of Form”, going on to say “After the Medallions came the book of Ferns, from Madeira and Jamaica”.

ESTC T105076, N/A, T105075, N/A. The Cathedrals Series ‘established for the first time the archaeological status of Gothic as fully comparable to the Antique ... Unique in their time for precision and scholarship, these volumes were designed “ not alone to please the eye ... but to give information and instruction to the rising generation of Antiquaries and Architectural Professors” ... For that pioneering aim, at least, the series deserves to stand as Carter’s monument’ (ODNB). (1) £200 - £300

18 North Wales. An illustrated manuscript journal, by Isabella Nicholson, 1837, pp.40, written throughout in a neat hand to rectos and verso (a few pages blank), with headings: ‘Arvonia’, ‘Bangor’, ‘Beddgelert’, ‘Tan-y-Bwlch’, ‘Ffestiniog’, ‘Snowden’, ‘Tyn-y-Maes’, narrative interspersed by a few poems and 9 pen & ink drawings: ‘Llyn Colwyn’, ‘Tan-y-Bwlch Inn’, ‘From the window of the Oakley Arms’, Tan-y-Bwlch’, ‘Goat Inn’ (with paint splodge not affecting image), ‘Pont Aberglasllyn’, ‘Ciliart’s Tomb’, ‘Plas Colwyn’, ‘Trifain - Moel Goch Blenglog’, latter 4 full-page, and 2 watercolours, one of two dragonflies on heather, and the other of butterflies amongst harebell tendrils (full-page), first page with ink inscription ‘Presented to Isabella Nicholson by her grateful Brother’, watermarked J. Whatman 1836, stationer’s oval blindstamp to upper left corner of second leaf ‘London Superfine’, page block loose in original blue card covers, rubbed and marked, 4to (26 x 21cm) A beautifully illustrated travelogue by Isabella Nicholson, the sister of artist George Nicholson (1795?-1838), who exhibited drawings in watercolour and pencil of flowers, birds, and occasionally landscapes, at the Liverpool Academy between 1829 and 1845. The sketchbook charts Isabella’s excursion in picturesque North Wales with two friends, Edward and Mary Ann, which begins with a sea voyage from Liverpool on the Prince Llewellyn at 9am on Saturday August 5th 1837. On arrival at Beddgelert from Bangor the author writes: “Everything here is charming and romantic ... I feel temptation to draw at every step.” As well as the usual descriptions of the “strikingly beautiful” scenery, the journal is full of minute observation, detailed conversations, anecdote and good humour, for example: the Captain of the ship allowing a bee to perambulate his arm for half an hour rather than end its life; the curious seaweed at Garth made into cat-o’-nine-tails by boys; and her disbelief at and subsequent measuring of the 15 foot thick walls of the Eagle Tower, Caernarvon Castle. Prices of food and board are noted, and various comments made about meals, such as a description of the consumption of “a hot roasted duck & a glass of good ale” and “we devoured a couple of fowls, fresh roasted, for our tea”. At Ffestiniog Isabella describes rural life: “In the meadows we observed a fine example of discipline among the Mowers; there were 7 in one rank, sweeping with simultaneous action, and resting together”. Local customs are noted, such as drinking from the Antique Tankard of Beddgelert, and notable characters such as the two Mrs. Pritchards are mentioned. At one of their boarding houses Isabella writes of “all the house in the hall lilting to the harp”, describing the vivid scene of glaring light and wild strains of music, to which master and servant alike dance and partner each other. She describes a misty ascent of Snowdon, alternately riding and leading a pony, and mentions a boy sent to guide them who was unable to speak a word of English; on the ascent she and her party are forced to find shelter in an old lady’s cottage, where “several Welsh lasses came in quite wet”, including “a mountain beauty”. She also describes an evening when cannons were fired: “the effect was astonishing, it was answered by all the echoes in Snowdonia”, the netting of a butterfly which “enriches my cabinet”, and Mary Ann turning her back on Edward to negotiate a gate “lest he should see her stockings”.

‘In 1797, during the progress of the French Revolution, the inhabitants of Islington, at Mr [Alexander] Aubert’s recommendation, formed themselves into a military society towards the defence of the country, of which he was elected the chief officer; and, shortly afterwards, by his Majesty’s commission, he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant of the Loyal Islington Volunteers. This corps consisted of a regiment of infantry, and one of cavalry, the latter commanded by Captain Anderson, a London merchant; in all amounting to upwards of 300 effective members, who defrayed their own expenses, except those of arms and accoutrements, which were provided by Government. An unfortunate dispute between some of the officers and their Lieutenant-Colonel was the cause of the breaking up of this loyal and patriotic society about the beginning of the year 1801...’, Thomas Cromwell, Walks Through Islington, 1835, pp. 304-305.

The areas covered include Hoxton, Bethnal Green, Whitechapel, Mile End Road and Limehouse. When the full survey of London was published in 1891, this map was replaced with four maps of the north east, the north west, the south east and the south west of capital together with a key map which encompassed the whole. The four new maps now covered an area from Kensington in the west to Poplar in the east, and from Kentish Town in the north to Stockwell in the south. These maps are collectively known as the Descriptive Map of London Poverty 1889. This earlier map has the same features as the later set, with the streets colour-coded according to the degree of wealth of the inhabitants, ranging from black (‘Very poor, lowest class... Vicious, semi-criminal’), through shades of blue and purple (‘Poor’, ‘Mixed’, ‘Fairly Comfortable’), to red (‘Well to do’), but Booth’s highest class, yellow (‘Wealthy’), does not appear on this map.

A scarce early map of Prussia printed in Antwerp by Gerard de Jode’s son, Cornelis. De Jode maps are scarce because the publication of his atlas was deliberately hampered by his cartographic rival Abraham Ortelius who quite rightly perceived De Jode as a serious threat to his dominance of 16th century atlas and map publishing. Ortelius was very well connected and used his influence to block the publication of De Jode’s ‘Speculum Orbis Terrae’ for over five years. De Jode’s maps are visually stunning but continued interference by Ortelius resulted in commercial failure and they are rarely available today because so few copies of the atlas were ever sold.

Marcel van den Broecke, Ortelius Atlas Maps, no. 162. The map covers the region from the Gulf of Finland, Lithuania and the Black Sea to the Sur River and Tashkent. The map was engraved by Franz Hogenberg after an earlier map by Anthony Jenkinson which was compiled in 1562 for the English Muscovy Company. The numerous and highly attractive vignettes are based upon Marco Polo’s travels, and include scenes of indigenous people, customs and numerous camels. Perhaps the most bizarre is the vignette of a Kirgessen priest sitting in a tree, sprinkling a mixture of blood, milk and dung on his people, with the trees behind him filled with bodies which appear to be hanging from the branches but are actually ‘buried’ in the trees.

Goff G-431; GW 11433; Hain-Copinger 7932*; ISTC ig00431000. First Paris edition, and the sixth overall, of one of the most important texts in western medieval Christianity; the first edition is probably that printed in Nuremberg in 1471. The Moralia was unprecedented in its scope and remained the dominant commentary on the Book of Job until the thirteenth century. ‘Gregory began writing the commentary around 583, before he became pope in 590, and he completed it within the first year of his papacy. It was a tumultuous time in Rome. Italy was reeling from the wars of Justinian, the Lombards had occupied northern Italy, and floods, plagues, and famines had devastated the country … Clearly the sufferings of that period prompted a desperate need for the exposition of Job by those charged with teaching the Christian faith in such difficult times’ (Seow, Job 1-21: Interpretation and Commentary (2013), p. 193).

This sermon by Ebenezer Latham, nonconformist minister at Uttoxeter for the funeral of the Reverend Daniel Madock in 1745 is notable for the letter in the appendix, dated 1678-79, from Sir Isaac Newton to Madock’s father, Joshua Madock (died 1682). Latham states ‘The following Letter, which has several Years lain with me, under Sir Isaac Newton’s own Hand, at the same Time that it justifies the account of Dr. Madock, gives us a great Idea of Sir Isaac Newton for we learn from it, that no Bias from Friendship, or the Beauty of Theorems, drawn up in his own Way by an excellent Mathematician, could induce him to admit and Thing into his Doctrines of Light and, which was not supported by Experiments’. Madock (or Maddock) was a country doctor in Whitchurch, Shropshire and a friend of Newton and had sent him some essays on the topic of the existence of ‘dark rays’, and suggesting they might conform to the same law of refraction as rays of light. Newton responds in the letter that he thought it was an interesting question whether dark rays exist and if so be governed by the same law of refraction or some other. He acknowledges Madock’s skilful and subtle arguments and would advance the science of optics if proved. The Newton letter is first published here and reprinted in the Gentleman’s Magazine in August 1782. (1) £200 - £300

Thimm p.260; Pardoel 2365. The collation of a complete example is [22],376pp. Besides fencing, the engravings show gymnastic training on the horse and various wrestling techniques. Johann Andreas Schmidt was a German fencing master born circa 1650 in Marienberg, Germany. Sometime after 1671 (or after 1675), he studied fencing under the fencing master Johann Georg and Johannes Georgius Bruchius in Amsterdam. Schmidt’s impressive fencing abilities were illustrated by a story that in 1712, as a result of a bet of 10 ducats, armed only with a stick, he took on “six strong farmers” in Altdorf in the area of Nuremberg and defeated them all, thus winning the bet. The following year, in 1713, he established his own fencing school in Nuremberg. In 1721 Georg Wilhelm von Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1678-1726) the ruler of Bayreuth appointed Schmidt as a Page Fencing Master following the successful defeat and disarming of two fencing masters. He was awarded the appointment as a Page Fencing Master with a wage of 1,000 guilders. After the death of his patron probably after 1726, Schmidt returned to Nuremberg to continue his teachings. He then moved to teach in both Stuttgart and finally in Tübingen, where he died. (1) £250 - £300

Patrick Lee, ‘The Apocryphal Voltaire: Problems in the Voltairean Canon’, in The Enterprise of Enlightenment (2004), eds. Pratt & McCallam, pp. 270-2. Very rare early edition, and possible first edition printed in England, of Voltaire’s important philosemitic critique of religious fanaticism, written in response to the execution of Jesuit priest Gabriel Malgarida at Lisbon (1689-1761). It was his first philosophical sermon to be published, and ESTC notes that the ‘presence of press figures [in this edition] suggests an English origin’. The first-bound item is a very rare Voltairean pastiche on the same subject, once attributed to Voltaire but now thought to be by Dutch Huguenot refugee Matthew Maty (1718-1776), who was first principal librarian at the British Museum from 1772 until his death, and a practising physician and author. According to Lee (see above) only 20 copies were printed. ESTC traces one copy only of each work, both at the University of Texas, WorldCat adding copies of Maty’s work at the British Library and the Bibliothèque nationale de France; for Voltaire’s work WorldCat identifies seven copies apparently with the same extent (22 pp.) as our copy, but on inspection only that in the National Library of Israel has 22 pages, the others all comprising 15 pages only, and presumably representing one of the editions cited by Bengesco.

The Governor, Deputy Governor, and Directors of the Bank of England, think it their Duty to inform the Proprietors of Bank Stock, as well as the Publick at large, that the general Concerns of the Bank are in the most affluent and prosperous Situation, and such as to preclude every Doubt as to the Security of its Notes..., contemporary manuscript note to verso ‘A very portentous day to this Country’, few old folds, small single sheet, 21.3 x 17.8cm ESTC T152707. Scarce, one UK location only (Bodleian) The second half of the broadside is taken up by a declaration by the Lord Mayor of London, dated: ’27th February, 1797,’ - Without the Privy Council Order. End of specie payments - On 27 February 1797, the Bank of England ceased specie payments. The Bank’s bullion reserve supported the value of its notes and bills, which were convertible upon request to specie (gold and silver coins). However, by 27 February 1797 the Bank’s bullion reserve had dwindled to less than £1,000,000, forcing it to suspend specie payments altogether (Order of the Privy Council). As a consequence of rendering its notes unconvertible, the Bank shook public confidence in itself and undermined the circulating paper currency. Indeed, without a convertible currency the British financial system was in imminent danger of collapse. This was followed by the passing of the Bank Restriction Act (37 Geo III c. 45) on 3 May 1797.

George Moore was a successful manufacturer of soda water who was notoriously murdered in 1854 by Frenchman Emile Barthélemy when the latter, visiting his former employer, shot him during an altercation. Fleeing from the scene the murderer was confronted by Moore’s neighbour, Charles Collard, whom he also shot dead. Apparently Barthélemy had been wearing a voluminous blue overcoat, with, concealed in its pockets and lining, a dagger, two pistols, 24 cartridges and a boat ticket for the Continent; he was on his way to France to assassinate Napoleon III. Barthélemy had already been prosecuted for being the surviving duellist in the last fatal duel ever fought in Britain, receiving then just three months imprisonment, but after the double murder of Moore and Collard he was sentenced to hang. The overcoat apparently ended up on a wax effigy of Barthélemy in Madame Tussaud’s Chamber of Horrors. (3) £200 - £300

Provenance (all items): 1) Thomas Ashby (1874-1931), British archaeologist in Italy and director of the British School at Rome (bookplates; manuscript aquisition notes). 2) Professor Cecil H. Clough (1930-2017), Reader in Medieval History, University of Liverpool. Another copy of the first item is located in the Archivio Diocesano di Norcia (see Cordella & Criniti, ‘La Sabina settentrionale: Norcia, Cascia e Valnerina romane’, in Ager Veleias 2.06 (2007), p. 16), but the work appears to be unpublished; a laid-in typescript note (possibly Clough’s) identifies the author as ‘Padre Francesco Antonio Rocci’. The Lorenzo Rè apparently named as the author on the spines of the second work may be the Italian archaeologist who was professor of archaeology at the University of Rome until he was succeeded by his pupil Antonio Nibby in 1820.

The Folkard Font was designed by the artist and used extensively both by him and others, its popularity resulting in a version which is still in use today. The Folkard Font has swashed capital letters and variant forms of a number of the letters and has become popular as a font for book covers and merchandising, particularly in association with fairy and fantasy subject matter. Charles Folkard owned a seaside cottage, which he and his son built, at Winchelsea in Sussex, and the clapperboard house drawings in this lot were almost certainly executed there. (27) £400 - £600

He was awarded the Tumut Prize in 1959 and the Redcliffe Prize in 1964, and his work is represented in a number of Australian institutions.

It was the seventh Australian feature film to tell the story of the infamous 19th-century bushranger Ned Kelly and the first to be shot in colour. (99) £500 - £800

440 Blow Book. Early magic flip book, probably French, circa 1820s/30s, 112 hand-coloured wood-engraved plates, comprising 16 each of 7 subjects, and the usual blank pages, no title or publishing details as usual, and without instruction slip (rarely present), some light spotting and marks, mainly marginal, foreedges stepped and notched as issued, stitching strained, original sheep, rubbed and spine deficient, 8vo See Barbara Maria Stafford and Frances Terpak, Devices of Wonder, pp.252-255. Rare early magician’s blow book. These books were so designed that a blow of air by the conjuror and a swift riffling through the pages produced a different set of images - or showed a seemingly blank volume - depending on which way up the book was held and from which notch on the fore-edge it was thumbed. Our volume has seven changes: harlequin; dancing girl with garland; prancing black American with steam ship; clown; basket of flowers; horned satyr devil; and grinning skeleton. By their very nature these ephemeral items were designed for heavy use, and so rarely survive, particularly in good condition. (1) £1,000 - £1,500

It disappeared from the Britains catalogue by 1940, and was subsequently reproduced as a plastic version in the 1960s. The marketing strategy employed by Britains was two-fold, targeting both the adult horticulturist and the child: “In introducing their latest series to the public, Britains Limited feel that they are fulfilling a long-felt want, that of enabling the gardener, amateur or professional, to plan out his garden in thoroughly practical manner ... On the other hand, regarded purely as a toy, Britains Miniature Gardening has no equal ... Designs which may be made up from the various pieces are almost without limit and it is no exaggeration to say that whatever can be carried out in a full-size garden, can also be previously prepared in Britains Miniature gardening, and simplicity being the keynote of the whole, there are no difficult parts to fit together, no messy glue, nothing that even the smallest child cannot carry out and thoroughly enjoy.” (a carton) £100 - £150

A small archive of books and ephemera, comprising 5 autograph letters signed, all written to Jo Park, dated 1985-1996, mostly discussing the content and publication of his books, e.g. “You are right to assume that I have never seen the prairie, nor do I intend to - the best journeys are inside one’s head. The main inspiration for ‘Rosie’ was the cinema of my childhood. I suppose I absorbed a large number of truly awful cowboy films”, going on to say “I avoided the buffalo incident partly because I felt it would be too grisly, and partly because it would be very difficult to paint”, and in another letter “As for the sleepy rabbit, I’m afraid it was meant to be the Indian’s dinner. ‘Not dead, but sleeping’.”, with some additional glimpses into his character and life, e.g. when talking of a book his correspondent didn’t like “My attitude is simply, if it makes me some money, goodo. I have a strong philistine streak”, when writing of her efforts to give up smoking “I speak as a lifelong nicotine addict”, and when mentioning awards for his work “my ignorance of the publishing world astonishes even me”, together with 3 Christmas cards from Roy and Jean Gerrard to Jo Park, and other pieces of ephemera related, e.g. rough copies of letters from Jo Park to Roy Gerrard, and some correspondence from Roy’s widow Jean, including a card notifying Jo Park of the death of her husband, plus 11 books by Roy Gerrard, all 1st editions in original pictorial boards, generally in good condition, 4to

455* Potter ( Beatrix , 1866-1943). Three autograph letters signed, 1937-43, all 3 written to Mrs Brooke in Beatrix Potter’s hand, from Castle Cottage, Sawrey: the first dated 25 October 1937, pertaining to the procurement of a nurse and related advertising and enquiries, “I have had to go to Coniston for other business so I called on Nurse Reid - an attractive Scotch girl, the farmer has some excuse!!”, and going on to say that she intends to consult Dr Brownlee “he is a sensible man for an opinion about nurses”, returning to Nurse Reid and a “comical kettle o’ fish” saying that “[Nurse Reid] informed me in a pretty but determined Scotch accent that she has not registered as a midwife and will not do so!”, signed H.B. Heelis, written in brown ink to both sides of a single sheet of thin paper (with some show-through), 2 folds, some creasing, unevenly torn along top edge, small piece missing from right-hand edge (not affecting manuscript), 24.5 x 19.5cm, the second dated 26 October 1937, continuing the conversation about nurses, mentioning Dr Brownlee’s opinion, asking for financial figures, expressing hope that she will not have help arrange lodgings, and ending “Apparently the Bowness nurse who is not a midwife is being upheld in her post; so Miss Furninger is not getting all her own way”, signed Beatrix Heelis, written in brown ink to one side of a single sheet of thin paper, 4 folds, some small faint creases, unevenly torn along top edge, small piece missing from right-hand edge (just clipping one word), 24.5 x 19.5 cm; the third dated 1 November 1943, pertaining to the rationing of petrol during WWII, and musings on essential journeys for nurses as opposed to unreasonable journeys by children in taxis to attend “genteel governessschool daily”, as well as a description of being stopped by police herself “I had left my identity card at home & the insurance... “, and a comment on the frivolity of an invitation to cocktails at such a time “A very vulgar world”, signed Beatrix Potter, written in black ink on both sides of a sheet of lined paper, 2 folds, slightly creased to top and bottom edges (and a little frayed to former), 20 x 16 cm, together with 5 photographs of Katherine Brooke, 4 of her as a small child and the other showing her as a young woman Provenance: Bequeathed by the recipient to her mother and thence by descent. Katherine Madge Brooke (1891-1991), known by her second name, was the daughter of The Hon. John Cross, land agent to the High Legh Estates in Cheshire, and granddaughter of British statesman and Conservative politician Richard Assheton Cross, 1st Viscount Cross, who notably served as Home Secretary, and was a close friend and advisor of Queen Victoria. Whilst growing up Katherine was a frequent visitor to her grandfather’s London home where she remembered being introduced to Lord Derby and the Prime Minister. When war broke out in 1914 Katherine travelled alone to France as an untrained army volunteer, where she was based at the training centre and hospital in Etaples. Before her death, 17 days before reaching the age of 100, Katherine was one of the last surviving women volunteers who served unpaid on the front line in France during WWI. After the war she subsequently returned to France to assist with the War Graves Scheme. She later recalled her war work in recorded interviews which are held at The Imperial War Museum. In 1923 Katherine married Basil Brooke DSO, a captain in the Navy, and they went to live at High Wray House in Ambleside. She recalled her association with Beatrix Potter in a recorded interview in later life. In it she states that, although unable to remember her very first meeting with the writer, she could recall vividly the day (sometime in the early 1930s) that Beatrix Potter drew up in a car outside her house and, stepping out to accost her in the garden, announced “I am going to start a Nursing Association for Hawkshead and you are going to be my Secretary”. Katherine’s response was a terrified refusal, but Beatrix was not to be diverted from her purpose, and so the two women set up the first local district nursing service. Katherine spoke of her enormous respect and admiration for Beatrix Potter’s sharp intellect and knowledge, saying “she was an extraordinary person” with a “marvellous brain”. She went on to say that Beatrix did a great deal behind the scenes for the local community, but that her work wasn’t recognised in Hawkshead, saying “she didn’t go down well”. She also described Beatrix’s indifference to appearance, saying that she dressed as an old country woman, always in the same old-fashioned looking clothes, and that later on she took up country dancing with her husband.

Sir William Henry Allchin FRCP, FRSE was an eminent English physician, lecturer and author. He trained at University College, London, following which time he became assistant to the Professor of Physiology there, Sir Michael Foster (1836-1907). He subsequently served as Chief Surgeon on the SS Great Eastern, Brunel’s great steamship, on a voyage to lay telegraph cable to India. He joined Westminster Hospital as a Medical Registrar in 1872 and worked there for over 30 years, becoming physician, lecturer and Dean. He edited and contributed to a number of medical publications, including the well-known journal A Manual of Medicine of which he was editor from 1900 to 1903. Allchin was awarded a number of honours, culminating in a knighthood in 1907, and in 1910 he became Physician Extraordinary to King George V. Sir William was clearly held in high regard by colleagues and pupils alike. By all accounts he was a gifted teacher and an extremely skilful and diligent doctor. The letters from his onetime boss, Michael Foster, are generally direct and instructional in tone: “please call at Kings to see if I can have any frog’s spawn”, “I find no trace of Baker’s ¼ here - make a row about it - it won’t do to have the thieving begin again”, “tell Plumb to get 1 doz frogs”, “will you tell John to get me a dog tomorrow if possible & feed him well”. The letters of recommendation speak of Allchin in the most glowing terms, and are written by such worthies as: Sir Richard Quain, Surgeon Extraordinary to Queen Victoria; epidemiologist Sir George Buchanan; Sir William Jenner, Physician in Ordinary to Queen Victoria; Francis Anstie; neurologist Henry Charlton Bastian; and Wilson Fox, Physician Extraordinary to Queen Victoria.

Lushington concerning the first publication of Edward Fitzgerald’s correspondence, Trinity College, 11 November 1889, 3 pp., ‘The passage in Fitzgerald’s letter which perplexes you stands exactly as he wrote it and the quotation is due not to any printers’ devilment but to the fact that he was, as he often said himself a legitimate decendant of the Ballyblunder family. The lines of Keats which I had asked him about occur in the early part of Endymion and are an example of what is perfectly intelligible in meaning had so carelessly expressed as to be impossible to answer. They stand thus: Even as the trees That whisper round a temple become soon Dear as the temple’s self, so does the moon, The passion poesy, glories infinite, Haunt us till they become a cheering light... I feel nearly certain that there is another passage in which Keats has an expression very nearly resembling that in the first and second lines though I cannot at the moment find it, and it was of this probably that Fitzgerald was thinking when he quoted what was still more familiar to him. If the Letters should reach a second edition I will take care that a footnote shall clear up the obscurity...’, folds, 8vo, with original mailed envelope and 1889 postmark 2.

547* Du Maurier (Daphne, 1907-1989). Typed letter signed, September 17th, 1966, 2 pp., to an Ian Pepper of Stoke-on-Trent, on Menabilly, Par, Cornwall headed paper discussing her novel Rebecca, ‘...the story of Rebecca is not a romantic novel as such, but a study in jealousy. It is a story both complicated and simple and it was hoped that it would be appreciated by the more thoughtful reader and as you are obviously a thoughtful young man then this author’s wish has been fulfilled. Mrs de Winter was indeed a good sort but in life circumstances change and she could well be as jealous and possessive as the next person or as unprincipled and envious as this uncertain world might make her. First names. I am afraid that I have been asked this question many times and although I did not give her a first name in the book, it was my first thought to call her Gabrielle - her husband, if you remember, made a reference to a lovely and unusual name and she herself remarked that it was ‘unusual to have it spelled correctly’...No Ian, I shall not write another book about the future of the personages of ‘Rebecca’. I shall let them all rest in the minds of my readers, consigned to a world without end. As for advice, I shall say only this, Be Yourself. Try to be happy and cheerful and always be faithful to those that you love.”, signed ‘Best wishes, Daphne Du Maurier’, horizontal fold, original envelope, together with a 1978 edition of Rebecca (2)

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE") Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite. Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's death.

Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot. The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account. 3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 20% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 20% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.
7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of.
