He constructed one of the continent’s first weather stations, conducting balloon experiments to test the atmosphere and determine how altitude affects temperature. Simpson recorded the temperature and wind observations at the base camp at Cape Evans. He also held command of this station for several months when Scott and his party left for the journey to the South Pole in November 1911. In this work he examines whether abnormally severe weather conditions could have been a major contributing factor leading to the death of the polar party. A scarce title.

He is credited with inventing the spinning frame, which, following the transition to water power, was renamed the water frame. He also patented a rotary carding engine that transformed raw cotton into cotton lap. Arkwright’s achievement was to combine power, machinery, semi-skilled labour and the new raw material (cotton) to create mass-produced yarn. His skills of organisation made him, more than anyone else, the creator of the modern factory system, especially in his mill at Cromford, Derbyshire. Later in his life Arkwright was known as ‘the Father of the Industrial Revolution’.

The Horlicks family originated in Gloucestershire, and the business now known as Horlicks Ltd. originated by Sir James and his brother William in 1873. Originally they commenced business in Racine, Wisconsin, for the manufacture of Horlick’s Food, and ten years later manufactured Malted Milk.

Horlicks was not marketed in England until 1890. The growing trade in the Home Market, and the Eastern Hemisphere resulted in the construction of the factory at Slough. Oliver Peter Thompson Horlick (1885-1960) was in charge of the works from their inception. He was Vice-President of the Company at the time of his death.

646 Malibran (Maria, 1808-1836). Manchester Grand Music Hall Festival 1836. A group of four printed programmes for consecutive days of the Festival, Tuesday-Friday, 13-16 September 1836, pub.

Manchester, [1836], featuring principal vocal performers Mrs H.R. Bishop, Mrs W. Knyvett, Miss C. Novello, Mrs A. Shaw, Mr Braham, Mr Bennett, Mr Machin, Mr H. Phillips, Mr Terrail, Madame Caradori Allan, Madame Malibran de Beriot, and Signor Lablache, each programme interleaved with blanks and the first three with occasional manuscript notes of an unidentified critic, the remarks written neatly facing the libretto and identified performer, with particular praise for Madame Malibran, ‘The union of surpassing delicacy, pathos and taste, with the most faultless intonation, and a distinctness of articulation, both musical and verbal made this a perfect gem. Many tears were shed at the exquisitely solemn manner with which she vested this air’ (Handel), ‘The effect was electrical. To describe it “my pen were double weak”. “Ah how can idle words prevail unless the heart could speak”‘ (Cimarosa), on the second morning the concert ends with a selection from Handel’s oratorio Israel in Egypt and the singing of Mr Braham followed by Maria Malibran, ‘The demon of exaggeration again possessed Braham. Such shouting was never heard before either within or without the walls of a church. So strenuously did he exert himself, that he must have injured his own powers of hearing correctly.

Malibran on the contrary in her recitative, although her voice was thrown out with prodigious strength, and with animation inconceivable, did not deviate a hair’s breadth from the true pitch. It was a most superb effort. The double chorus was given with tremendous power’, earlier in the same programme Malibran had sung an air by Pergolesi, ‘Another gem: nothing more magnificent could be conceived even from this accomplished singer. The rich tones of her voice pervaded the entire church with mellifluous fullness: at the conclusion murmurs of applause, without a possibility of restraining them, burst spontaneously from the auditory, a compliment which was justly her due’, while more damning comments are given to other performers, ‘feeble and inefficient - it ought to have been given to Malibran... ‘ (Mrs H.R. Bishop), ‘Madame Caradori commenced most lamentably out of tune... ‘, ‘tolerably sung’ (Mrs W. Knyvett), ‘Braham again “Bayofbiscayish”‘, ‘Miss Clara Novello did not come up to the anticipations I had formed of her. Her voice was improved certainly... but in real feeling from the heart... she is lamentably deficient’, only two comments appear in the Friday programme, the unidentified critic having missed part of the performance, all original printed wrappers, the first three with spines strengthened, slim 4to, together with a three-page broadsheet programme for the entire festival

An intimate autograph letter, signed ‘Maria’, 23 March 1830, in French, to Ernest Legouve, Malibran opens her letter with ‘A cheval, a cheval!’ and playfully reassures Legouve that the two escorts that she has been seen out walking with cannot take his place in her affections, thanking him for the roses he sent her, ‘It was so nice of you to have thought of my birthday tomorrow. What memory, what pretty roses, what a nice gift’, arranging to meet him the next day that she may thank him properly, and begging him to wait in case she is late, explaining that she has been unable to sleep and has risen at four in the morning to write to him still wearing some of the makeup she wore earlier in the evening, 3 pp., 8vo Ernest Legouve (1807-1903) first met Malibran in Paris in 1828, was one of her closest friends, and an early biographer. April Fitzylon in her biography of Malibran suggests that the French author was ‘more than a little in love with her and although there is no evidence that she reciprocated his feelings she did confide in him, and wrote him some very intimate letters’. However, this letter clearly shows a flirtatious nature.

Before Sickert became an artist he undertook some acting work, joining Henry Irving’s company of actors at the Lyceum Theatre, London in 1879.

Irving and Terry had begun their famous association with Hamlet in 1878, their 1879 production of ‘The Merchant of Venice’ running for an unusual 250 nights. It is known that Sickert in hope and anticipation of joining the company had been to the theatre reguarly ‘to observe’. This photograph of an early drawing for which the whereabouts of the original has not been ascertained, was clearly given as a love token from the smitten and much younger artist to the glamorous and famous actress he befriended.

He appeared under the name Patrikeeff in Diaghilev’s production of ‘The Sleeping Princess’ in 1921. He appeared for the first time as Anton Dolin at the Royal Albert Hall in the ‘AngloRussian Ballet’ in 1923. He left Diaghilev in 1925 and then undertook engagements in England. In 1927 he founded the first English ballet company and, the following year, rejoined Diaghilev in Monte Carlo. During the 1930s Dolin appeared in the new Vic-Wells ballet. In 1935 he and Alicia Markova founded their own ballet company with Bronislava Nijinska as the ballet mistress and Dolin as director and first soloist. The company lasted until 1937.

Lady Eleanor Campbell-Orde (nee Watts) was born in 1908, married Sir Simon Campbell-Orde in 1938 and died in 1996. The correspondence here reflects a close friendship that lasted from the time that Dolin created the Markova and Dolin company in 1935 and runs near-continuously until 1983, but with few letters written in the final decade.

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 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.

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 the Auctioneer 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 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.

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.
