WILLIAM GRANTHAM LEWIS FORWOOD (1927-2011) William Grantham Lewis Forwood was born on 3rd August 1927. His father served in the Sudanese Civil Service so the war caused a long separation from his parents as they could not return home. William's aunt and her husband Kenneth (later Sir Kenneth) Pickthorn, MP for Cambridge University (and last to hold this position), became surrogate parents for William and his sister Mary during this period. Holidays were spent with his mother's relations in the Mumbles, South Wales. William's mother, Barbara, was awarded an MBE for her war work in East Africa.

School was King's College Choir School and then Eton (where his four sons would follow him in due course). From there he won an open Exhibition in Classics to Clare College, Cambridge.

Prior to going up to Cambridge he was commissioned into the Royal Welch Fusiliers in 1946 and went on to serve with the South Wales Borderers. His military service took him to Cyprus where the British army had the difficult task of filtering, to manageable numbers, the flood of Jewish refugees trying to enter Palestine from all over post-war Europe.

At Cambridge William gained 1st Class Honours in the Law Tripos and was elected an Honorary Scholar of Clare College. His academic success continued into his Solicitor's qualifying examinations: he took first place in the Solicitors Finals, and first again in the Honours examination and thus was also awarded the Clement's Inn and Sheffield prizes.

Precocious also in his personal life, William singled out Joyce, the daughter of near neighbours, Colonel and Mrs Marston, for his attentions. They both remembered their first meeting at William's fifth birthday party. William marked Joyce's card at the Cambridge May Ball for all three years and they were married soon after he came down from Cambridge. Soon they acquired a house in Chiswick and family life with, ultimately, six children began. They also began a long tradition of generous hospitality and their dinner, weekend and later, shooting, parties were justly acclaimed.

William became a Partner in Warren Murton & Co, Solicitors specialising in various aspects of Commercial Law. He soon came to the attention of the merchant bank Guinness Mahon and John Guinness made him an offer, which he accepted, to become Managing Director of Guinness & Mahon in Ireland. Challenging though starting a new job and moving a young family to Ireland was, William and Joyce compounded this by acquiring Woodstock, one of the largest of the colonial mansions in County Wicklow, some 20 miles from Dublin. This dilapidated Georgian house set in 250 acres took 25 years to restore. Joyce added farming to all her other responsibilities whilst William wrote up the stock book and profit and loss columns over Irish whisky in the evenings as they discussed strategy. At this time he also held Directorships of W.H.Smith & Son (U.K), Pembroke Estates Management Ltd, the Irish Landowners Association and many others. His children well remember the treats of first night screenings of various blockbuster films that resulted from work done for the Walt Disney Corporation.

A voracious reader since childhood it was inevitable that William would create a library once the room presented itself and this it did at Woodstock. The library grew with books bought from the Dublin book dealers, Mealy's auctions and from his son Kemeys and the other booksellers of Hay-on-Wye. It gradually became a beautiful room lined with these purchases but was also a very intimidating place for the children to be summoned to if they had misbehaved: 'Father wants to see you in the library', could have a very sobering effect on a recalcitrant teenager.

Woodstock was used as a writing and recording base at various times by many well-known musicians, including Mike Oldfield (recording Tubular Bells II), Rod Stewart, Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi. The house also featured in the RTE TV series Glenroe and the mini-series The Price starring Harriet Walter. In 1991 William and Joyce sold Woodstock and moved back to William's Welsh roots, buying Coity Mawr, a manor house half way up a mountain in Radnorshire. Woodstock is now Druid's Glen golf resort and has hosted the Irish Open Golf Tournament many times.

At Coity Mawr more challenges awaited as the house needed much restoration. William commissioned bespoke rare hardwood bookcases for the library from his son Henry in Vietnam. The full length windows afforded panoramic views down the Usk valley with the Sugar Loaf and Black Mountains in the distance. The garden became a major project with William the under-gardener to Joyce. Eventually the garden with its parterre and award winning rose garden was open to the public as part of the National Gardens Scheme. Retirement also meant that book buying became the focus of many enjoyable trips the length and breadth of the U.K. and significantly to Dominic Winter Book Auctions.

Always something of a technophobe, William spent many happy hours inserting into almost every book, cuttings with comparable prices from booksellers’ and auctioneers’ catalogues. As will be obvious, William loved triple-decker novels and travel books above all. He was not a collector who merely acquired books - he read every one, getting up early in the morning to read by the window without waking Joyce. There he could observe the rare birds and the changing light on the distant mountains, and at the same time enjoy a Green More cigarette or two!

In January 2011, with their cases packed for a three week trip to Vietnam to visit their two furniture designing sons, William unexpectedly fell ill and died.

The family felt that it was fitting that his collection should be sold in the auction house which brought him so much pleasure in his book hunting days.

The list of subscribers in ‘Camilla’ includes leading society figures, women writers and bluestockings, national potentates and church dignataries, such as Warren Hastings, Frances Boscawen (2 sets), Edmund Burke (5 sets), Maria Edgeworth, Bennet Langton, Samuel Rogers, Humphrey Repton, Hester Thrale, Anne Radcliffe and Hannah More. Jane Austen, then an unknown twenty-year-old, is also listed amongst the subscribers. Her father must have paid the necessary subscription for her, and he probably did so believing that his daughter’s talent deserved encouragement (she began writing ‘First Impressions’, later titled ‘Pride & Prejudice’, in October 1796). Jane’s cousins, the Cookes of Bookham, were some of Fanny Burney’s closest friends while the latter was living nearby between 1793 and 1797, and it is quite likely that they were active in obtaining subscribers. Jane Austen makes reference to ‘Camilla’ in ‘Northanger Abbey’.

‘Cecilia’ was Burney’s second novel to be published anonymously and it was a great success. Austen found the title of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ in the concluding pages of ‘Cecilia’.

First edition of the first English novel to be set, and probably written, in Canada. Frances Brooke lived in Sillery, Quebec, where her husband was garrison chaplain, from 1763 to 1768. Her romantic tale of colonial courtship, written in epistolary style, presents an interesting description of Quebec scenery and society in the decade following the conquest. It also makes a sincere and sympathetic attempt to portay the manners and nature of Canadian Indians, noting their faith in “powawers, or conjurers”, and recording the response of one to a European smiling patronisingly after a prophecy: “You Europeans, said he, are the most unreasonable people in the world; you laugh at our belief in dreams, and yet expect us to believe things a thousand times more incredible.”

Stevenson’s parents and family moved to 17 Heriot Row, Edinburgh in 1857. The pencil ownerships in the volumes are likely to be that of Robert Louis Stevenson’s father Thomas Stevenson (1818-1887), who was a lighthouse engineer in the family firm and designed more than thirty lighthouses.

Irish novelist, Lady Sydney Morgan was one of the most controversial and hotly discussed literary figures of her generation. She was an ardent champion of her native country, extolling the beauty of Irish scenery, the richness of the natural wealth of Ireland, and the noble traditions of its early history. Her novels attracted considerable attention to the country, which was then in the most depressed condition. The liberal opinions expressed in her works divided her contemporaries, bringing her on the one hand high praise, and on the other, much obloquy and the loss of many friends. ‘The Wild Irish Girl’ was the novel that first made Lady Morgan’s name when it was published in 1806.

Rothschild 1701. The author’s fourth and most popular novel, ‘The Mysteries of Udolpho’ follows the fortunes of Emily St. Aubert who suffers, among other misadventures, the death of her father, supernatural terrors in a gloomy castle, and the machinations of an Italian brigand. Although preceded and influenced by Walpole’s ‘The Castle of Otranto’, ‘Udolpho’ is generally regarded as the archetypal Gothic novel, and it played a seminal role in establishing the Gothic genre. Amongst those works it influenced are Matthew Lewis’s ‘The Monk’, Jane Austen’s ‘Northanger Abbey’ (a parody of ‘Udolpho’ in which the book is mentioned), Charlotte Bronte’s ‘Jane Eyre’, Wilkie Collins’s ‘Woman in White’ and Daphne Du Maurier’s ‘Rebecca’.

Sadleir 1524; Wolff 4406* (only French and American editions). A rare theatrical novel. Sadleir: “It is strange how completely forgotten is this in many ways remarkable book. It moved Bulwer Lytton (who, for all his gradiloquence, did not easily praise his contemporaries’ work) to three separate panegyrics over a period of twenty-five years...”. Lytton described the work as “descriptive of the back scenes of theatrical life - but it beats ‘Adam Bede’ and everything which has since appeared”.

Sadleir, Trollope, 25. Not in Wolff. Both issues of the first edition are extremely rare, especially in the original cloth. The first issue was published anonymously in two volumes, as an experiment to see if the public were faithful to Trollope because of the quality of his work, or purchased simply because of his now-famous name. His publishers lacked faith (as it happens rightly so) and printed a small edition of the book. However, sales were even smaller than they anticipated, and the remaining sheets were subsequently bound up in the one-volume edition and issued in 1879 with a new, undated, title-page. Sadleir says of the first issue “I am doubtful whether more than 150 or 200 copies... were actually bound up in two-volume shape”, adding that the book is “only a little less rare” in its remaindered form.

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.

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.
