The school was the brainchild of two men, Henry, Lord Cockburn , the distinguished Judge who in 1832 was to draft the great Reform Bill for Scotland, and Leonard Horner, the social reformer who was one of the original Factory Inspectors. They introduced the idea to their friends, amongst whom were Sir Walter Scott , the eminent novelist, and James Skene. The first Rector of The Academy was the Reverend John Williams, who was recommended for the post by Scott. Typical subjects covered in the memoranda are reports on the subject of boys who have left the school, the distribution of prizes, the quarterly report by the rector, gymnastic exercises, class libraries, corporal punishment, & the commissioning of Mr Bain to cut the dies for the medals to be given as prizes at the examination. Most interesting of all perhaps is the account “Procedure at the opening of the Academy, 1 October, 1824... then, Sir Walter Scott (who in the absence of Mr Dundas of Arniston....) acted as Proceses of the Directors... Sir Walter Scott in a humorous speech detailed the origin & progress of this institution & expatiated on the advantages which might be expected to accrue to the country at large by the introduction of an improved system of education in classical literature — and concluded with a fervent and animated address to the boys, calling on them to avail themselves at their present period of life of the advantages which they enjoyed in the acquisition of that knowledge which would promote their success in every pursuit of their future lives...” £400-700 189 Genlis, Stéphanie Félicité, Comtesse de.

PRIVATE PRESS, ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS & BINDINGS 247 Cruikshank, George [Three handsome matching albums of caricatures and book illustrations, with manuscript titles:] An essay on the genius of Geo. Cruikshank from the Westminster Review &c. illustrated with upwards of four hundred etchings and wood engravings from his most popular works, chap books &c. [Compiled before 1865]. Folios, 3 volumes, full crimson morocco gilt by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, with specially commissioned tools (facsimile signature, the fairy from Jack and the Beanstalk and 3 grotesques after Cruikshank as cornerpieces, fairy repeated on spine), t.e.g., silken endpapers, cracking to hinges, quite extensive expert repairs (3) Note: A splendid collection of Cruikshank illustrations, compiled by his friend Joseph Gibbs: among the preliminary essays in volume i is a laid-in leaf in Cruikshank’s hand To Master Joseph Gibbs with the regards of [flourish] Geo Cruikshank Augt. 22nd 1853. Gibbs (17981864) worked as a supervising hydraulic and civil engineer in the Dutch East Indies before returning to more domestic duties (he built the railway line from London to Croydon). He was a quintessential Victorian who, as his obituary in the Institution of Civil Engineers’ 1865 Proceedings, turned his hand to an impressive variety of inventions and “had a high appreciation of the beauties of Nature, and was so good an artist, that had not his predilections been for engineering...would probably have practiced the art of painting as a profession.” He was a correspondent and friend of Cruikshank’s, and asked the artist to be Godfather to his child. The separately-issued and larger (c.280x375mm.) caricatures etc. are as follows: i. The Mulberry-Tree, Mar.1, 1808, Laurie and Whittle (Cohn 1770, a songhead, with seven stanzas of verse beneath. Gibbs caption reads “G.Ck. done the three figures his Father done the rest.”) ii. Bonaparte. Written by Mr. Lawler, introduced by Mr. Elliston and sung by him...at the Surrey Theatre, March 25th 1811. (Cohn 939, a songhead, with 40 lines of verse.) iii. A Day of Fashion. Sung with the Greatest Applause by Mr C. Taylor at Vauxhall Gardens, etc.... 24th August 1813. James Whittle and Richard Holmes Laurie.... (Cohn 1045, a songhead, with the interior of the auction room at Christie’s depicted.) iv. Irish Hospitality. Sung with great Applause by Mr. Incledon in....”The Minstrel.” Published, the 25th October, 1815, by J. Whittle and R.H. Laurie.... (Cohn 1245, a songhead, depicting four men drinking in a sitting-room, the right-hand figure being a portrait of Whittle, by G.Ck. after Isaac Cruikshank.) v. London Dandies or Monstrosities of 1816. (Cohn 1747, second or third state; slight silverfish damage to edges.) vi. A Scene at the London Museum, Piccadilly, or a Peep at the Spils of Ambition, taken at the Battle of Waterloo. (Cohn 1959, second state, published by McLean, 1835. A fine caricature of the crowds swarming over Napoleon’s captured carriage.) vii. A Curious Junto of Slandering Elves, or List’ners Seldom hear Good of Themselves. F.H.L. del., G. Cruikshank sculp. (Cohn 1032, calling for Humphrey’s imprint dated Jan. 1817; this has no imprint, but Gibbs has captioned “Pubd. Sept. 12 1816.”) viii. Very Unpleasant Weather;

Dedicated to the Worthy Acting Magistrates of the District. (Cohn 1841 or variant.) xiii. The Comforts of a Cabriolet! or, the Advantages of Driving Hoodwink’d. (Cohn 1003. After M. E[gerton].) xiv. A Visit to Cockney Farm. Viewing the Grounds &c.... (Cohn 2085. Designed by Marryat, it is a caricature of his parents at their country farm. Minor silverfish damage to extreme margins.) xv. [Monstrosities of 1819.] (Cohn 1750 or variant; silverfish damage to edges.) xvi. The Blue Devils — !! (Cohn 934, a brilliant caricature of depression.) xvii. Jealousy. (Cohn 1251, after “Crowquill.” Minor silverfish damage to margins.) xviii. Indigestion. (Cohn 1233, also after “Crowquill.”) xix. Mixing a Recipe for Corns. (Cohn 1740, after Marryat.) xx-xxxv.

Cohn 805), a photographic portrait of Cruikshank in his 70th year, a fine large coloured etching The “Bloomers” in Hyde Park, three large temperance cards from 1850-54 etc. The remaining 350 or so etchings are from published books, notably Hop o’ my Thumb & the Seven League Boots (complete series of six), Jack & the Beanstalk, Peter Schlemihl, Tales of Irish Life, The Vicar of Wakefield, a substantial series from Fisher’s edition of the Waverley Novels, two from The Ton (1817), and a selection from Life in Paris, The Humourist, Ireland’s Life of Napoleon, Don Quixote, Life of a Midshipman, Life in London, Remarkable Characters, Guy Fawkes, Whom to Marry, The Book with the Iron Clasps, Windsor Castle, The Great Exhibition, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and so on; many in colour. £2,000-3,000 See colour illustration on page 36

(2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than four working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage and other associated charges. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main saleroom and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time. 8. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the seller and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs).

10. COMMISSION BIDS While prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer or our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. 11. WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY The seller warrants to the auctioneer and to you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents or the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”. (2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 16. FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) While we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness,

18 (1) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate. (2). Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them. 19.

Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, paintings, guns, firearms etc) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary or guidance notes appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 21. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 22. Scottish law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
