£3000-4000

In 1660 Aubrey commenced writing a work on the antiquities of North Wiltshire in the style of Dugdale’s ‘Warwickshire’. The information for the work was gathered over a period of ten years and was deposited at the Ashmolean Museum, under the title of ‘Hypomnemata antiquaria’ in two volumes, ‘liber A’ and ‘liber B’. The second volume ‘liber B’ was borrowed by Aubrey’s brother William in 1703 and never returned.

The lot above comprises three volumes of manuscript transcripts and two printed works relating to John Aubrey’s ‘Collections for Wilts’ and ‘Memoires of Natural Remarques in the County of Wilts’, edited by Sir Thomas Phillips and published between 1821 and 1838. The first volume listed forms a manuscript transcript of John Aubrey’s original manuscript (Bodl. Oxf., Ms Aubrey 3, liber A). It formed part of the Phillips collection (no. 10490) and would have been used during the publication of Aubrey’s Collections for Wilts, published in two parts in 1821 & 1838.

The Aubrey’s Collection for Wilts, Part 2, in this lot [edited by Sir T. Phillips] forms the 2nd revised printed proof of the work, containing numerous editing manuscript marks and annotations, which were corrected for the final printing.

The letter addressed to Sir Thomas Phillips from William George Maton reads, “Sir, Having, at present, in my possession Aubrey’s MS. History of Wiltshire (from the Library of the Royal Society), I have been made acquainted by Mr. Hudson, the Librarian, with the request contain’d in a letter from you to him, respecting a leaf which has been found wanting in the volume, and I have undertaken to communicate to you, myself the particulars necessary to guide you in your search for the detach’d part of the MS. The leaf missing is that of pages 67 and 68. The last line of page 66 is as follows... ‘bridge the Isle of Ely and other places, provided by nature to the’, the first line of page 69 is ‘for a plain reason and therefore a dearth succeeds the yeare following’. The length of the folio is rather more than 14 inches, - the breadth about 10. I have the honor to be, Sir, your very obedient servant W.G. Maton. P.S. As I shall return the book to the Royal Society’s Library very shortly, you will perhaps be so good as to send the leaf that is missing (should you be successful in your search) to Mr. Hudson”.

The physician William George Maton (1774-1835) was educated at Salisbury’s Free Grammar School and Queen’s College, Oxford. He undertook medical studies at Westminster Hospital and became a Fellow of the College of Surgeons in 1802. He was a physician at the Westminster Hospital, 1800-1808; PhysicianExtraordinary to Queen Charlotte, 1816 and Physician-in-Ordinary to the Duchess of Kent and to the infant Princess Victoria, 1820. His writings included a catalogue of the plant and animal life around Salisbury, Wiltshire, which was published posthumously in 1843.

98 Ordnance Survey. Report on the Ordnance Survey of the United Kingdom for 1855-56, 27 pp., twenty-nine plates including maps that depict the progress of six-inch to a mile map coverage in Ireland, England/Wales and Scotland, plus numerous specimen plates demonstrating the effectivness of electrotype and photographic reductions, bound with Report on the Ordnance Survey Commission; together with Minutes of Evidence, 1858, five engraved plates incl. four folding, bound with Report of the Progress of the Ordnance Survey and Topographical Depot, to the 31st December 1858, and similar reports for the years ending 1860-1872, all reports containing folding engraved maps showing the progress of work in Ireland, England/Wales and Scotland, all works bound into two volumes, contemp. cloth, one cover detached, folio (340 x 210 mm) Rare on the market. In 1855 the Ordnance Survey had just emerged from a state of transition having been newly placed under War Office administration and with a new Inspector-General of Fortifications in Lieutenant-Colonel Henry James. The introduction to the first report in this lot, which was the very first detailed report on the Ordnance Survey presented to Parliament, lists the recent achievements of the Ordnance Survey including the six-inch to a mile mapping of Ireland completed in 1846. The Irish maps ‘having proved to be of such great value to the public for such numerous purposes not originally contemplated’ led to the continuation of the six-inch project to Scotland and Northern England which, together with the production of one-inch maps and 1/2500 (just over 25 inches to a mile) scale maps for urban areas, meant that the Ordnance Survey was fully stretched at this time. Much of the first report therefore proposes a number of recommendations to save time and labour including a new process for producing photographically reduced one-inch maps from six-inch maps, the production of electrotypes which were exact copies of the original copper plates produced to preserve the original, and developments in printed colour (hand colouring was done by boys of 13 and 14 years old for between sixpence and a shilling a day). There are specimens of many of these proposed production methods contained within the first report and the subsequent reports each contain maps depicting the growing level of coverage.

Sabin 51489; Sadleir 1818; Wolff 5022. A romantic novel based on Murray’s travels in the Western United States between 1835 and 1838, when he lived for a time with a tribe of Pawnees. Murray was a dashing and charismatic adventurer who imported the first hippopotamus into England. He later wrote about his travels in the States in his factual and highly regarded ‘Travels in North America’, published in 1839. Towards the end of his tour, Murray fell in love with Elise Wadsworth, a resident of Niagara, but her father disapproved of Murray and forbade any communication between the two. ‘The PrairieBird’ contains a carefully veiled message of Murray’s continued love for Elise, which is said to be the only communication between them until after her father died in 1849. They were married in 1850, though sadly Elise died in childbirth the following year.

A pastoral poem, which was highly celebrated and oft reprinted. Ongaro was in the service of the Farnese at Ferrara where he would have seen the first production of Tasso’s ‘L’Aminta’ in 1572. Tasso’s success inspired him to write the present work, though instead of using shepherds as the pastoral subject, he chose fishermen. Although the work was sometimes criticised for its use of coarse fishermen’s language, it was well-received and the beauty of its verse was recognised. It was, however, so closely based on ‘L’Aminta’ that malicious tongues called it the ‘Aminta bagnato’ (the wet Aminta).

McNeill worked for Kayebon Press art agency from 1927 until the end of the 1930s. He worked on the Dick Turpin strips for Knockout, but is most famously associated with D.C. Thomson’s comic book The Beano from its first issue in 1938. It was in the same year that he created ‘Pansy Potter, The Strong Man’s Daughter’ for The Beano’s Christmas edition. Desperate Dan was a strip drawn by Dudley D. Watkins from his first appearance in the first issue of The Dandy on 4th December 1937. The model here may well have been an early prototype for what eventually became one of the world’s best loved comic characters.

Conditions of Sale and Business 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.

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.

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.

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 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% 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 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

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 the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.

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.

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 for which insurance the Auctioneer will charge a premium of £1.50 per £100. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
