Greenough was stung enough by the critisicm to issue a written defense of his actions which was published in ‘Memoir of a Geological Map of England: to Which are Added, an Alphabetical Index to the Hills, and a List of the Hills Arranged According to Counties (1820)’.William Smith’s low social staus and background resulted in his work being largely ignored and the Geological Society of London did indeed plagiarise the map, undercutting Smith’s asking price, which eventually pushed Smith to financial ruin and the debtor’s prison. Recognition of his role as ‘The Father of English Geology’ would only follow much later in 1831 when Smith was awarded the Woolaston medal by the Geological Society. Greenough’s map is important in its own right and is now recognised as a separate piece of scholarship but unlike Smith it involved no surveying but relied on other surveyors sending him information which he then collated.

Hugh Blair (1864-1932) was an English musician, composer and organist. He was Organist of Worcester Cathedral from 1895 to 1897, having been Acting Organist before that time. Edward Elgar dedicated his cantata The Black Knight to Blair, who was conductor of the Worcester Festival Choral Society, which gave the first performance on 18 April 1893, at a time when Elgar was little known outside Worcestershire. Blair also asked Elgar to write an organ voluntary for the visit of some American organists to Worcester, and received Elgar’s first Organ Sonata as a result (with the opening theme being reminiscent of a theme from The Black Knight).

Arthur Troyte Griffith was a Malvern architect and one of Elgar’s firmest friends. He was the subject of Variation VII (Presto) “Troyte” of the Enigma Variations, Op. 36. The Variation good-naturedly mimics Griffith’s enthusiastic incompetence on the piano, and may also refer to an occasion when they were both caught out walking in a thunderstorm. (1) £200-300

Such manuscripts are very scarce, Elgar carefully guarding all of them and rarely parting with any. In the event, Elgar did not attend the Coronation having (it is thought) taken offence at some perceived slight in the seating arrangements to his status as Knight and Order of Merit - and he refused his wife permission to attend, to her great disappointment. (1) £3000-5000

£200-300

Sir Richard Runciman Terry (1865-1938) was an English organist, choir director and musicologist, noted as a revivalist of Tudor liturgical music. This copy was used by Elgar to learn about music. Terry wrote about Elgar’s scholarship in an article for The Radio Times: ‘On the question of polyphony he used to embarrass me by his persistent attitude of a listener and a learner. I found out the depth of his knowledge (which I had long suspected) by the merest accident. Hearing that I had lost my volume of Rochlitz, he asked me to accept a copy which he had bought in early youth “to try and get the hang of those old fellows” (as he put it). His notes in the book and across the music showed me that his had been no superficial study. He had noted all that was worth noting about the characteristics (contrapuntal and harmonic) of the Polyphonists from Dufay and Josquin to Goudimel, Lasso, Palestrina and his school’. Some of the pencil marks are now more faded and indistinct than when Elgar presented this volume to Terry one hundred years ago. (2) £1000-1500

Elgar rented the black and white house, Napleton Grange, from March 1923 until the autumn of 1927. This letter, presumably to one of his publishers, seems to hint at the lack of demand for some of his works. In February 1927, Elgar conducted a performance of ‘The Dream of Gerontius’ in the Albert Hall, half of which was recorded. (1) £200-300

Such publick addresses from Great Britain do honour both to this country and to Corsica; and were it not that we are in general dead to nobleness of sentiment, there would be many more zealous friends of the brave Islanders’, some age toning, half of one line from top margin neatly cut away removing a few words of Italian to first line of verso, a few short splits to folds, 2 pages with integral address leaf and seal, 4to Catharine Macaulay (1731-1791) was an English historian and political thinker. She was associated with two political groups in the 1760s and 1770s, the Real Whigs and the Wilkites, being more interested in polemic than everyday strategy. She was a supporter of the exiled Corsican Filippo Antonio Pasquale di Paoli (1725-1807), who was to oversee the Corsican resistance following the French conquest of Corsica in 1768. In London, Paoli gained the attention of Samuel Johnson and his circle and Boswell himself became so zealous in his support of Paoli that he donned full Corsican attire when he attended the Shakespeare Jubilee festivities at Stratford in 1769. Paoli also stayed with Mrs Macaulay during his visit to England in the autumn of 1769. The pamphlet by Catharine Macauley to which the letter alludes is ‘Loose Remarks on Certain Positions to be found in Mr Hobbes’s “Philosophical Rudiments of Government and Society”, with a Short Sketch of a Democratical Form of Government, in a Letter to Signor Paoli’, 1767. A second edition was published in 1769. In this work she rebuts Hobbes’s purely political conception of the state and counters it with her own more moralised conception of the nature of political authority. Her most philosophical work, ‘A Treatise on the Immutability of Moral Truth’, 1783, was a major influence on the thinking of Mary Wollstonecraft. See also lot 2. (1) £3000-5000

De Winton married Evelyn in 1864.

294* Dickens (Charles, 1812-1870). Autograph letter signed, ‘Charles Dickens’, Gad’s Hill Place, Higham by Rochester, Kent, Saturday, 7 January 1865, to Mrs Collinson, in full, ‘I hope you will excuse my having detained your MS a little longer than I might have done at another time of the year, and when less occupied with a book of my own [Our Mutual Friend was published as a monthly serial between May 1864 and November 1865]. It has received - as I hope I need not assure you my most careful attention and consideration. The result is that I feel thoroughly convinced it would not bear division into portions for periodical publication. It is not strong enough or various enough to stand that severe test and carry the reader on. As a domestic story, with a plain good purpose, not much change of scene, and no great force of incident, it must be read complete. I think in that entire form it would achieve a fair success, and I recognize in the heroine many of those delicate womanly touches of character in which you excel. But I have not the slightest doubt that it would fall flat and fail, if it were published in serial chapters. It shall be packed in a convenient parcel at the office, and sent to you on Monday. I am more disappointed in not being able to accept it than I trust you may be for the receipt of this note’, written in blue ink on rectos of a black-edged letterhead bifolium, central vertical brown streak to all pages not affecting legibility, 2 pp., 8vo, together with an earlier autograph letter from Dickens on Gad’s Hill Place letterhead, 6 October 1862, presumed to the same recipient, beginning ‘I have read your pretty story with very great pleasure, and shall be happy to retain it for the Christmas No. of All The Year Round, if you will give me your free permission to condense it a little, and to alter some of the dialogue. You may be quite sure that I will touch it with a delicate and sympathetic hand...’, one and a third pages, written in blue ink to rectos with the lower twothirds of the second leaf containing sentiment, signature and recipient’s name cut away and now missing, 8vo

295* Dickens (Charles, 1812-1870). Autograph letter signed, ‘Charles Dickens’, Office of All The Year Round, 26 Wellington Street, Strand, London, WC, Tuesday, 11 July 1865, to Mrs Stretton, ‘I have safely received in due course, the Patty MS which you addressed to me at Gad’s Hill on the 6th. In reference to the length of those papers, I have no suggestion to offer. That question is best governed by the manner in which they arise before your fancy. You are at perfect liberty to arrange with Messrs. Hurst and Blackett for the republication of Patty in a volume, after she shall have been completed here’, minor toning lines, one page, 8vo, together with a second autograph letter from Dickens on Office of All The Year Round letterhead, Thursday, 17th November 1864, to Mrs Collinson (aka Mrs Stretton), ‘In reference to the story you have in hand, my answer is short, but (I hope) goes at once to the point. Will you allow me to see some of it? I know your other books, and think highly of them, but my reason for desiring reacquaintance with this particular story and not judging it of its relatives, is, that they were not introduced to the world in a serial form in these pages...’, later apologising that he has not been able to get ‘Patty’s Vocation’ into the Christmas Number, ‘The construction of the story rendered it difficult of adaptation’, 2 pp. in blue ink on rectos of a bifolium, the central half of the second leaf with sentiment, signature and paraph excised and now missing, 8vo The recipient of these letters is Mrs Julia Cecilia Collinson Stretton (18121878), author of several novels and stories. As noted in the lot above it is known that she published two stories for All The Year Round (Christmas Number, 1862). The story ‘Patty’s Vocation’ was published in All The Year Round on 4 February 1865. The ‘Pilgrim’ edition of The Letters of Charles Dickens, volume 11, page 62 & Note attributes this story to Hesba Stretton (pen name of Sarah Smith, 1832-1911), an English writer of children’s books. The letters here make clear that this has been a misattribution and the author of the story was indeed Mrs Julia Cecilia (Collinson) Stretton. (2) £700-1000

Mrs Julia Cecilia Collinson Stretton (1812-1878) is known to have published two stories in the Christmas Number of All The Year Round, published in December 1862, namely ‘His Portmanteau’ and ‘Hat-Box’. It is to one of these two stories that the second letter is presumed to refer. Mrs Collinson published a number of triple-decker novels with Hurst and Blackett between 1855 and 1869. It seems likely that the book Dickens rejected in the 1865 letter here was ‘The Pemberton Family’ published by Hurst and Blackett during 1865. (2) £1000-1500

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. By delivering the goods to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
