INTRODUCTION

This catalogue marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of Dominic Winter Auctioneers. During this 30 year period the company has developed from modest beginnings to its current status as a world leading specialist auction house in the field of antiquarian books. Sales have diversified significantly since the early years, with departments now covering fine art, photography, aviation and militaria, transport, selected antiques including historic textiles and antiquities.

When he established the business in September 1988, Dominic already had many years of auction experience behind him. In 1974 at the age of just 21 he was made a partner of Taviner’s auction rooms in Bristol, where he single-handedly established a thriving specialist book department. The book auctions he introduced became the mainstay of that business and eventually, with some trepidation, he made the bold decision to form an independent company under his own name.

Those early pioneering sales in Swindon were conducted at lightning speed in a rented room at the Wiltshire Hotel. They will be remembered (by those old enough to recollect!) as minor miracles of determination, enthusiasm and flair.

From that moment onwards, the company never looked back. A reputation for specialist expertise in books, maps, autographs and manuscripts was built, and as the company continued to grow, Dominic was joined by a number of skilled valuers and cataloguers and a talented administrative team.

In 2006 the business moved into its current premises in the Cotswolds, and now holds around 24 auctions each year. Following Dominic’s sadly premature death in 2014 at the age of 61, the company has been headed by Marion Winter, Nathan Winter and Chris Albury. We continue to build on the successful model that Dominic created, our unique team offering independent specialist advice, acknowledged and valued by our clients not only in the UK but around the world.

Each sale contains its own highlights. Some of the more memorable have included 19 newly-discovered watercolours by William Blake, a beautifully hand-coloured John Speed atlas, and an Edinburgh Calotype Club photograph album. Most recently, the library of Richard Adams, author of Watership Down, and the estate of the renowned actor Robert Hardy drew great public interest. Even more unusual perhaps was the sale of Napoleon’s tooth, a life-size bronze sculpture of Jambo the gorilla, and a seemingly endless supply of royal wedding cake, without forgetting the small urn containing the ashes of Frisky the cat from Coronation Street. Dominic’s final sale in May 2014 was a collection of miraculous model aeroplanes by a reclusive English model maker that were sold to a Chinese museum.

The present sale, more traditional in content, is drawn chiefly from a number of private collections, and is particularly rich in 16th and 17th century English and Continental history and literature, manuscripts from the 15th to the 19th centuries, fine printed maps and atlases, and colour illustrated travel and natural history.

We would like to acknowledge the contribution made by members of staff both past and present, and of course our clients, to all of whom we extend our gratitude. Dominic will remain forever at the heart of the company he founded.

Goff A-1274, Hain-Copinger 1975. Second Amerbach edition, the first edition to contain the fourth part, ‘Principalium sententiarum in explanatione libri psalmorum divi Augustini Annotatio’. The first edition overall, probably printed in the Netherlands in 1485, is considered unprocurable.

3 Lull (Ramon). De secretis naturae sie quinta essentia libri duo.

His accesserunt, Alberti Magni... De mineralibus & rebus metallicis libri quinq[ue], [edited by Walther Ryff], 1st edition, Strasbourg, Balthasar Beck, 1541, [4] + 183 + [4] leaves, with 8 woodcut illustrations to text of chemical apparatus (one of which is full-page), without blank leaf at end, title relined and with slight loss of blank fore-edge and foot of inner margin, early two-tone blind-decorated French full calf, with gilt coat-of-arms of an unidentified French bishop to upper cover, 8vo Provenance: Alfred Scott Gatty (1847-1918), with gift inscription to him dated 1882 to front blank, when he was Rouge Dragon Pursuivant of Arms In Ordinary, and with his bookplate to front pastedown. B. E. J. Pagel (1930-2007), astrophysicist, with his handwritten label tipped-in to verso of front endpaper.

Duveen 369. Wellcome 3897. Ferguson II, 54. Thorndike II, 862-873 & 517592. Adams L1703.

Rare first edition of Strasbourg physician Walther Herman Ryff’s presentation of alchemical tracts. The attribution to Lull of De Secretis Naturae is disputed (generally now accepted as pseudo-Lull) but it was a standard work in early modern alchemy. With it is published Albertus Magnus’ De Mineralibus & Rebus Metallicis, on metals and minerals with essays on stones, gold and silver, the assaying of metals, their colours, on nitre, salt, lead and other substances and their properties. The tract by Albertus Magnus belongs to the authentic writings of this author. Thorndike devotes much space to a thorough analysis of this remarkable work and points out the stress laid by Albertus on personal investigation and experiment.Lull’s metaphysics worked a revolution in the history of philosophy. He invented an “art of finding truth” which centuries later stimulated Leibnitz’ dream of a universal algebra, and the development of modern scientific method.

8 Henry VII Year Books. [Anni Regis Henrici Septimi. Quibus accesserunt annus primus et secundus de noua et valde bona collatione.

Ac etiam, annus decimus, undecimus, decimus tertius, decimus sextus, et vigesimus, nunquam ante hac æditi. Anno Domini 1555, Richard Tottell, 1555], [i.e. 1563?], law reports from 1-16, 20 and 21 Henry VII, separate paginations with continuous register, black letter, woodcut initials, lacks title-page, occasional contemporary and later ink marginalia and underscoring, peppered wormholes (mostly at front and rear), a few mostly marginal closed tears, some light old damp-staining, 23 lines of manuscript verse quotations [from William Bullein's Dialogue Against the Fever Pestilence] in brown ink in an unidentified contemporary hand to first front free endpaper recto (watermark of hand with a flower on laid paper), contemporary blind-stamped calf over boards, with central lattice panel of diamonds within a rolled border of repeated motifs of female heads within roundels and floral decoration, ownership monogram blind stamp of 'F.B.' to centre of both covers, remains of one brass clasp only, some rubbing and wear with scattered worm holes, neatly rebacked with remains of spine relaid, folio (280 x 190mm) Provenance: An unidentified 16th century English collector, here quoting from William Bullein's Dialogue against the Fever.

Beale R408; STC 9223.5.

The Year Books are the earliest law reports of England, forming a continuous series from 1268 to 1535, and covering the reigns of King Edward I to Henry VIII. Richard Tottel produced the majority of sixteenth-century printed Year Books, a great many being published between the years 1556 and 1572.

William Bullein (c. 1515-1576), physician, published his last and most popular work, A Dialogue Against the Fever Pestilence, in 1564. 'This work saw him move away from the overwhelmingly medical concerns of his previous writing, and extend his use of dialogue beyond the didactic to a more lively style in which he mixed medicine, morality, and entertainment. Like the authors of many plague tracts, Bullein takes the epidemic as his starting point for a broad criticism of the sins of society, attacking engrossing and enclosure in the countryside and the sudden charity of the afflicted, and parodying hypocritical and atheistic physicians and apothecaries, and the desperation of usurious merchants when faced by death.' (Oxford DNB). The manuscript verses begin: 'How the cardinal came of nought / and his prelacie sold and bought / And where such prelate be, springe of love degree, / And spirituall dignitee / farewell begninitee, / farewell simplicitee, farewell humanitee, farewell good charitee'. The final two lines are: 'but or thei enter if they have lerned nought / afterward is vertue the least of theyr thought'. The quotations are taken from one long speech by the character Crispinus who recounting his visit to Parnassus, repeats some verses he heard spoken by a number of famous poets from the previous two hundred years. The four poets 'quoted' here are John Skelton (an attack on Cardinal Wolsey), Geoffrey Chaucer, John Lydgate and Bartley. The small variations in wording between the early editions suggests that this, if not copied from a manuscript, was transcribed from the first edition of 1564, rather than the later editions of 1573 or 1578.

See Mark W. Bullen & A.H. Bullen (editors), A Dialogue against the Fever Pestilence by William Bullein, from the Edition of 1578, Collated with the Earlier Editions of 1564 and 1573, Trübner, 1888, pages 16-18. All editions are rare and only three copies of the first edition are located: two imperfect copies at the British Library and the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and a possibly unique complete copy at the Huntington Library, California. That copy, used by the editors of the (fourth) 1888 edition had been part of the Britwell/Heber Collection, acquired by Huntington from the Britwell Court library sale in 1919.

9 Alberti (Leon Battista). L’Architettura di Leon Battista Alberti, tradotta in lingua Fiorentina da Cosimo Bartoli Con la aggiunta de disegni et altri diversi trattati del medesimo auttore, Monte Regale: Leonardo Torrentino, 1565, 331, [21]pp., woodcut printer’s device on the title and portrait of Alberti verso, 3 woodcut plates including a double-page plate of the Baths of Diocletian, woodcut decorative initials and numerous woodcuts in the text (some full-page), leaf L6 with small repair touching a woodcut recto and with loss of a few letters to verso, first four leaves only with small worm track at extreme fore-edge not affecting text, early 20th-century vellum gilt, slightly soiled and partly split along joints, folio Fowler 8 (describes an imperfect copy); Millard IV, 6 and Mortimer 12 only describe the 1550 edition.

Clean, wide-margined copy. This is the second folio edition of Bartoli’s translation of ‘De re aedificatoria’ and the first to include Domenichi’s translation of ‘La Pittura’ which begins at page 305 with separate title. The woodcut illustrations are from the same blocks as those used in the first edition of the translation in 1550, but this edition is regarded as rarer than the 1550 edition.

This important and influential work by the great Italian renaissance humanist is based on Vitruvius and when first published in 1485 was the first printed book on architecture.

10 Cardano (Girolamo). De Rerum Varietate libri XVII. Post alias omnes editiones, nunc recogniti, castigati, infinitisque mendis repurgati, Lyon: Barthélemy Honorat, 1580, [16], 883, [48]pp., woodcut printer’s device on title, folding plate and folding table, woodcut illustrations to text including full-page palmistry illustration, final blank of preliminary leaves present, several careful old ink (?editorial) deletions, each mostly of one or two sentences but including diagonal strikethrough for whole of pages 85 & 87, some spotting, recent blind-stamped antique-style tan calf with string ties, 8vo (165 x 105mm) First published in 1557 this is Cardano’s second great encyclopaedia of natural science, the first being De Subtilitate (1550), and like it a dazzling display of polymathic learning. ‘The two works, written in elliptical and often obscure Latin, contain a little of everything: from cosmology to the construction of machines; from the usefulness of natural sciences to the evil influence of demons; from the laws of mechanics to cryptology’, (Dictionary of Scientific Biography). The cryptology element referred to is a description of what is now known as Cardano’s Grille, which consisted of a sheet of stiff material with excisions for masking written text and, though somewhat crude, was used by some countries for diplomatic correspondence in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Description and Use of Two Arithmetick Instruments, together with a short treatise and demonstrating the ordinary operations of arithmetic, as likewise, a perpetual almanack, and several useful tables, 1st edition, Printed, and are to be sold by Moses Pitt, 1673, engraved portrait frontispiece, six engraved plates printed to versos of A2-7 and four folding engraved plates pasted to the blank verso of A8 and B1-3, Perpetuall Almanack plate bound before 2A1 and a folding table bound between G2 and G3, lacks cancels F8 and G8 (as usual), also lacks G[1] (text leaf beginning ‘The diameter of any circle being given’) and 2A8, old damp-staining and fraying with occasional short closed tears, largely affecting outer margins, all sympathetically restored with archival tissue, the damage being largely confined to the extremities of the frontispiece, first signature and last two leaves, some slight loss of borders of frontispiece, both titles (A1-2) and plate 1 (A2v), and a little loss of legibility to final two lines of final leaf, red dye splashes to A3v and A4r, contemporary calf, gilt-decorated spine, small 8vo (140 x 88mm) ESTC R30529; Hook & Norman, Origins of Cyperspace 9; Wing M2777.

First edition of ‘the first book on a calculator written in English, and the first separate work on the subject after Napier’s Rabdologiae (1617). There was little else in English on calculating machines until Babbage. The work may also be considered the first comprehensive book in computer literature, as Pascal published nothing about his own machine except an eighteen-page pamphlet, now of the utmost rarity. The first of the “arithmetic instruments” was Morland’s adding machine – a modification of Pascal’s calculator … The second instrument … was his multiplier … [which ] operated on the same principle as Napier’s bones’ (Hook & Norman).

This rare book is bibliographically complex with no two copies seeming to be the same. This is the second issue, the first having the first six plates printed on slips of paper pasted on the versos of leaves A2-7. This second issue also only calls for 8 leaves in second signature A, rather than 11.

All copies of both issues lack G8 (usually described as a cancel) and most copies lack F8 (another cancel, blank with a numerical calculation to verso). This copy also lacks G1 and 2A8, the Perpetuall Almanack plate possibly accounting for the latter leaf. The second signature A is sometimes missing entirely or only partially present and bound after F (as here) or after G. Other anomalies do exist.

Collation: [portrait], A-F8 (-F8), [Perpetuall Almanack plate], G2-7 [folding table bound between G2 and G3], 2A7 B8 *8.

ESTC T184797, T62583, T62583 for the first three works.

Interesting volume of poetry and lampoons. John Ring (1752-1821), vaccination pioneer, evidently admired the Scottish Bible scholar and poet Geddes (1737-1802), publishing after Geddes’s death a translation of one of his Latin poems. Geddes, not William Wilberforce, is suggested as the real author of the satirical ode to William Pitt in ESTC, though ESTC’s attribution of the Lines written in the Album to Jerningham himself is called into question by the inscription in this copy. ESTC traces eight copies of Ring’s work, nine of the Lines, and one of the Pitt lampoon.

The text of Rouget de Lisle’s words as well as the text of Voltaire’s Choeur Patriotique are transcribed in full, and is preceded by the stated wish of the National Convention to sustain ‘l’énergie des vrais républicains, en proclamant solemnellement les principes sacrés qui ont renversé les bastilles le 14 juillet, et la royauté le 10 Août’.

HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS, MANUSCRIPTS & AUTOGRAPH LETTERS

66* Visconti (Filippo Maria, 1392-1447, Duke of Milan). Grant to Beccalacio Beccaria, Milan, 25 June 1412, in Latin on vellum, ‘filius quondam d[omi]ni Castellini dilectus Camerarius n[oste]r’ of all the goods and assets of Otto Visconti which have escheated to the treasury in consequence of his rebellion and crime of ‘lèse-majesté’ a few tiny holes barely affecting text, else in fine condition, partial impression of armorial seal in yellow wax suspended from yellow silk cords, one page, 520 x 365mm, together with a Grant to Corradino de Capitaneo, secretarius, Milan, 30 September 1413, in Latin on vellum, of all the goods and assets of Otto Visconti (as above), in compensation for the destruction of his house during Otto’s rebellion, somewhat creased along folds and lacking seal, but generally very good, one page, 460 x 330mm Provenance: Dr Cecil H. Clough (1930-2017).

The Visconti, Dukes of Milan, only too rightly chose the viper as their emblem. Gian Maria Visconti (1388-1412, the second Visconti Duke of Milan) used the hounds of his ancestors no longer in the chase of boars, but of living men. His huntsman, Squarcia Giramo, trained the dogs to their duty by feeding them on human flesh. In 1412 some Milanese nobles succeeded in murdering him. He was succeeded by his younger brother Filippo Maria, 1402—47, the last of the Visconti, who provides an interesting example of that combination of appalling ruthlessness with a love of art and literature which forms so fascinating a feature of the Renaissance prince. Because of his repellent appearance Visconti seldom left his secret apartments in the castello, he changed his rooms from day to day, and his bodyguard was divided into two groups who spied on each other. He married the widow of his condottiere, Faclno Cano, in order to win the support of the troops, but later had her beheaded on a false charge of adultery. These documents illustrate the uncertainty of life in the age of despots and absolute princes. See: J.A. Symonds, The Age of the Despots (1875).

68* Crinito (Pietro, 1475-1507). Autograph manuscript, probably written in Florence, circa 1478, in Latin with contractions, written in a clear humanist hand on laid paper, a total of 19 lines (approximately 200 words), a few autograph corrections, the passage beginning (in translation), ‘It is indeed true and I cannot deny it, that it is worse, according to the teaching of philosophy and of Socratic theory, to cause suffering than to endure it. And so Sallust fell about the renowned lenity of Caesar in sparing criminals and the severity of Cato in punishing defendants: he was wise to write that other authorities...’, a little light browning and several letters lost due to ink oxidation but little loss in legibility and generally in very good condition, one page, 8vo (220 x 145mm)

69* Medici (Giuliano de, 1479-1516). Letter signed to the Captain and Count of Pistoia, Florence, 17 February 1512, in brown ink on laid paper, concerning an appointment to the benefice of the 'pieve', a principal church of Mantechiusoli, and making it clear that the matter presented some complications, in translation, 'I thank you for your diligence and prudence, and particularly that there should have been no scandal... I am sending to the men of the "pieve" to make them hand it over, and this I think will come about. In that case it will be necessary to govern it more gently, when possession is given. If it is not so, I shall be pleased to hear of it... when things turn out so well so soon, it is a case for clemency...', one page with endorsements to verso, a little spotting and several tiny holes only affecting one letter of text, one page, folio (285 x 210mm)

Provenance: The leaf was taken by the well-known scholar-printer Wilfrid Merton from Crinito’s copy of the Jenson Plutarch, 1478, which contained his signature and many notes, and a fly-leaf from the book accompanies this manuscript. The Bournemouth bookdealer Horace G. Commin offered it for sale in List 41 (item 145), circa 1958, when it was purchased by Dr Cecil H. Clough (1930-2017) for £25. A copy of the catalogue and a few leaves of rough research notes, transcription and partial translation are included. No other material in the autograph of Crinito has been located.

An exceedingly rare Renaissance autograph. Pietro Crinito, known as Crinitus, or Pietro Del Riccio Baldi, was a Florentine humanist scholar and poet who was a disciple of Poliziano. He is best known for his 1504 commonplace book, De honesta disciplina, taken to be a source for the work of Nostradamus.

The manuscript is either a personal letter to a fellow humanist or an intended prefatory epistle to a published work. It does not appear in either of Crinito’s published works, the De poetis Latinis or the De honesta disciplina, but this professor of belles lettres at Florence, who was for a time tutor to the younger Medici, must have written a great deal more than these fairly slight works. £300-400

71* Ghinucci (Girolamo, 1480-1541).

I had considered writing to you no more, but then I thought that this might be taken amiss and would seek to acquit myself of this.

Sre. I hope that this knowledge of mine may prevail in comparison with yours. But later, when you are gone, and I am no longer afraid that you can do me harm, I shall deny this and revoke all that I now write to you, as if it had never been said', together with Cesarini (Alessandrol, died 1542, Cardinal), Letter signed, Chiaravalle, 10 October, 1539, in Italian in an italic hand on laid paper, in translation 'I thank Your Grace most sincerely for the favour you have shown me, and for the permission you have granted for me to be away, for which I am in every respect most grateful. I think it pleasing to God to leave here for Rome in two or three days, and so should anything occur to you in which I can be of service, I beg Your Grace to bear in mind to call on me and to make use of me whenever you have the need, for this will give me the greatest satisfaction, and you will find that at all times my wish and desire is to serve you, and to your Grace's favour I humbly commend myself', each one page with endorsed integral blank addressed 'Al...

72* Henry VIII (1491-1547, King of England). A near-contemporary copy of ‘The last wyll and testament of Kynge Harry the eyghte 30 December 1546’, undated, circa 1570, written in brown ink in a neat secretary hand, large decorative initial, small grotesque to inner margin of top line of folio 4r, laid paper with watermark of ‘PM’ within a crowned shield, small heraldic sketch of a unicorn’s head to final blank with colour markings, plus three more sketchy horses or dog heads, some spotting and dust-soiling, final blank verso more heavily soiled and dampstained and with small tear, minor fraying to edges close to but not affecting text, disbound without covers, evidence of leather remains to spine, 8 leaves including final blank, slim folio (300 x 205mm) The will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in April 1547. A comparison of this text with the registered copy (TNA PROB 11/31/247) shows many differences, omissions and incorrect transcriptions of words and the use of dialect forms, such as sarve for serve.

This copy of the will is said to have formed part of Phillipps MS 13761 which notes that the volume included, inter alia, ‘Testaments of H. 8 & H. 6’), a collection of papers from the archive of Sir Henry St George (1581-1644), who served as Garter King of Arms in the last year of his life. Although such a provenance is borne out by the heraldic endorsements, and by the fact that hundreds of St George manuscripts were on the market in the 1730s and in 1846 (ODNB), the hand of this manuscript makes it hard to attribute its authorship to Sir Henry, and the same objection stands against his father Sir Richard St George (1554-1635), whose association with the College of Arms dates only from 1602 (ODNB). An old bookseller’s typed description accompanying the lot states that the volume of manuscripts was acquired by Thomas Phillipps in 1852 from the manuscripts of Sir Henry St George, and listed among the St George manuscripts in 1697 in Bernard’s Catalogi Lib. MSS. Angl. pars altera, no. 4217.

The paper is watermarked PM within a crowned shield, several versions of which are included in C.M. Briquet, Les filigranes (Amsterdam, 1968) as 9637-9644, datable between 1545 and 1601. The closest match is 9641, datable 1567-1570, a period consistent with the hand. Such a date is supported by the presence of the grotesque beside the name of Princess Mary on the first line of folio 4, an adornment unlikely to have been made before November 1558.

In a lengthy pious introduction, the king accepts that ‘every creature, the more high he is in estate, honour and authority in this world, the more he is bound to love, serve God and thank God and the more diligently to endeavour to [do] good and charitable works’. ’Repenting also our old and detestable life’, he invokes God and the Virgin Mary to ‘pray for us and with us while we live here in this world and in time of passing out of it’.

He desires burial ‘in the choir of our college of Windsor, midway between the [stalls - blank in MS] and the high altar’ in a tomb which is ‘well one ward [recte toward] and almost made in which we will allow [recte will also] that the bones and body of our true [and] loving wife Queen Jane be put also’. ’The tombs and altars of king Harry the 6 and also of king Edward the fourth our great uncle and grandfather be made more princely’.

Re-establishment of the Poor Knights of Windsor each to wear ‘a long gown of white cloth with a garter upon the breast embroidered with a shield and a cross of St George with the garter and a mantle of red cloth’.

Daughters ‘shall not marry nor take any person to her husband without the assent and consent of the privy councillors and others appointed by us to our dearest son Prince Edward’. ’seeing the fatherly love which we bear to our son Prince Edward and to this our realm we declare his [recte him] according to justice and equity and conscience to be our lawful heir and do and bequest unto him the succession of our realm of England and Ireland with our title of France and all other dominions both on this side [the seas] and beyond, charging him and commanding him on pain of our curse, seeing he hath so loving a father of us and that all our chief labour and study in this world [is] to establish him in the imperial crown of this realm after our days, in such sort as may be pleasing to God and to the wealth of this realm, and to his honour and quiet, that he be ordered and ruled, both in his marriage and also in ordering of the affairs of the realm, as well outward as inward, and also all his own privy affairs and in giving offices of charge by the advice and counsel of our right and entirely beloved counsellors’. ’Item we bequest to our daughter Mary and Elizabeth marriage[s], they being married to potentate by the advice of our foresaid counsellors, if we bestow not them in our own life time, ten thousand pounds in money, plate, jewels and household stuff for each of them or a larger sum at the discretions of our said executors‘.

This is the discussion of the will from the entry in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (OUP, 2004) by Eric Ives: ’It was in the context of this final factional battle that Henry revised his last will and testament on 30 December 1546. It was authenticated by the dry stamp, a form of signature by proxy which Henry had introduced in 1545 to save himself trouble. This system was in theory open to abuse, but the will is undoubtedly genuine. Arguments that it was stamped only after the king became incapacitated, or even after he was dead, do not stand up to analysis. The king confirmed Edward as heir and after Edward, Mary and Elizabeth, though the girls were to lose their places in the succession if they married without the written permission of a majority of privy councillors. Next in line he put the Grey and Clifford families, descendants of Mary, his younger sister. The granddaughter of Henry’s elder sister, Margaret-Mary, queen of Scots-was not mentioned, though presumably she qualified in the final remainder to the next rightful heirs. To govern the country during his son’s minority, Henry nominated sixteen executors who were to function as Edward’s privy council, and since sixteen might be too few for day-to-day business, he named a further twelve to be counsellors to the sixteen as and when required.

Henry’s will provoked discussion in the reigns of Mary and Elizabeth and also in modern times. Some historians have argued that because traditionalist and anti-traditionalist councillors were roughly equal in numbers, Henry’s intention was to rule from the grave and preserve his individual religious policy.’

Pepys’, 1 February 1695/6, to Cousin [Major Thomas] Aungier, concering affairs relating to Christ’s Hospital, beginning, ‘I thank you for yours by ye Penny-Post this day, & for ye Enclosed Papers of News. Of which latter, I send you back ye Written one ab[ou]t ye Act for Garbling, together with that which you lately sent me ab[ou]t ye Demands at ye Parish of Christ-church make of ye Hosp[ita]l as not knowing but you may have future use for both.

Stapleton (now he hath found ye way to you) will visit you again. If not, what I told you I would propose to him, of setting an Example to all others of ye Children of ye King’s Foundac[i]on, who shall come to Advancem[en]t in ye King’s Service, of wearing their Founders cognizance or Badge, after their so coming in to ye Service of ye Crown; which I should be very glad he might have the honour of beginning, & my selfe have the pleasure of presenting him with ye first that shall be so born, as having been my Child.

The enclosed letter is a copy, probably written by Pepys’s clerk, but signed by Pepys himself, the recipient was, I think, John Angiers who would appear to have been governor of Christ’s Hospital. (See Whitear, opposite p. 12). There is other correspondence between this Angiers and Pepys at the British Museum (Add. MSS 20732). So far as I can ascertain, this letter has not been published.’

The letter is it appears addressed not to John Angier but to (Major) Thomas Aungier, described as both ‘nephew’ and ‘cozen’, and a member of the School Committee of Christ’s Hospital. The letters held by the British Library are those between John Angiers and Samuel Pepys, 1694-95, and relating to Christ’s Hospital.

In 1673 Pepys was involved with the establishment of the Royal Mathematical School at Christ’s Hospital, which was to train 40 boys annually in navigation, for the benefit of the Royal Navy and the English Merchant Navy. In 1675 he was appointed a Governor of Christ’s Hospital and for many years he took a close interest in its affairs. Among his papers are two detailed memoranda on the administration of the school. In 1699, after the successful conclusion of a seven-year campaign to get the master of the Mathematical School replaced by a man who knew more about the sea, he was rewarded for his service as a Governor by being made a Freeman of the City of London.

75 Pope (Alexander, 1688-1744). Autograph letter signed to Samuel Wesley the Younger, 21 October 1733, single sheet of laid paper (21.8 x 19.2cm), 25 lines, written in brown ink, addressed ‘To the Rev. Mr Wesley at Tiverton Devon’, dated ‘Twitenham, Oct. 21 1733’ and signed ‘A. Pope’; toned and slightly spotted, creased where folded, shallow chips and splits to corners and folds, with one small hole in intersection of folds partially obscuring one letter, old repairs verso, mounted to a 19th-century album leaf, 4to Clarke, Memoirs of the Wesley Family (London, 1823), page 452; The Gentleman’s Magazine (London, 1787), volume 57, part 2, page 589; Rogers, The Alexander Pope Encyclopedia, (Westport, 2004), page 323; Sherburn, The Correspondence of Alexander Pope (Oxford, 1956), volume 3, page 504.

Autograph letter signed to poet and clergyman Samuel Wesley the Younger (1690/1-1739), in which Pope discusses the illustrious subscribers to one of Wesley’s books (which is unnamed), echoes his correspondent’s opinion of ‘Savage’s strange performance, which does not deserve the benefit of the clergy’, and elegantly thanks his wife ‘for her good wishes in favour of this wretched tabernacle of a body’. The text is well known to scholarship and included in Sherburn’s edition of Pope’s correspondence, but is invariably printed either undated or dated 1735, and without the postscript in which Pope expresses his admiration for the great English satire of the previous century: ‘I am glad you were reduced to reading over Hudibras three times, and I agree with you that it is a great work. I speak this very sincerely’. The letter was first published in The Gentleman’s Magazine in 1787 as one of two letters to Pope in the collection of a contributor, ‘A. B.’, and subsequent transcriptions seem to have relied on that recension of the text. The other letter, dated 7 August 1734, is from Lord Oxford, who is held to remark: ‘I am very glad you was [sic] reduced to read over Hudibras three times with care; and I find you are perfectly of my mind that it much wants notes, and that it will be a great work’. The contributor appears to have borrowed Pope’s postscript to flesh out Oxford’s encouragement of Wesley’s scholarly endeavours; if Wesley was preparing an edition of Hudibras, this was never published, but his work is acknowledged by Zachary Grey in the preface to his edition, published in 1744 (volume 1, page xxxv).

On the matter of subscribers, Pope advises Wesley: ‘You may depend on the money for the Earl of Peterborow, Mr. Bethel, Dr. Swift and Mr Echersall, which I will pay beforehand and I think you may set down Mr. Delany whom I will write to. I desired my Lord Oxford some months since to tell you this’. Pat Rogers, in The Alexander Pope Encyclopedia, identifies the book in question as Dissertationes in librum Jobi, appearing not to realise that the author was in fact Samuel Wesley the Elder, and noting that Pope ‘was active in promoting the subscription campaign, as emerged from his letter to Wesley on 21 October 1735 [sic]’, while Sherburn claimed more plausibly that ‘the reference is to subscriptions for Wesley’s Poems on Several Occasions, published in 1736 and dedicated to Lord Oxford’.

Sherburn also believed ‘Savage’s strange performance’ to refer to Richard Savage’s satirical work The Progress of a Divine, published in July 1735. If Pope’s reference to ‘the benefit of the clergy’ suggests an author in holy orders, however, he may have been referring to Samuel Savage’s Sermon on Submission to Divine Chastisement (1732), or another satire, John Savage’s Horace to Scaeva (1730). Methodist writer Adam Clarke (1760/2-1832), who made the same supposition as Sherburn, considered the letter to be ‘expressed with the utmost felicity of language’. We are grateful to Professor David Hopkins of the University of Bristol for his advice in cataloguing this lot.

Lot 79 79* Moore (Sir John, 1761-1809). Military commission on vellum, appointing Moore as Captain in the 104th Regiment, 28 February 1782, signed by King George III upper left corner, countersigned by the Earl of Shelburne, 30 x 39.5cm Provenance: Sotheby’s English Literature and English History 6-7 December 1984 (Lot 429).

Lieutenant-General Sir John Moore, KB (1761-1809) also known as Moore of Corunna was born in Glasgow and educated at Glasgow High School. He joined the British Army in 1776 as an ensign in the 51st Regiment of Foot. In 1778 he was serving as a Lieutenant in the 82nd Regiment of Foot in the American War of Independence. From 1779-1781 Moore was garrisoned at Halifax, Nova Scotia and distinguished himself in action during the Penobscot Expedition in Maine, when a small British detachment held off a much larger American force until reinforcements arrived. He was commissioned Captain in the 104th Foot in 1782 (as documented here) and returned to Scotland after the war. He had various commissions in regiments throughout the latter decade and in 1791 was wounded at Calvi whilst serving as Major in the 51st Foot when the regiment took part in the invasion of Corsica. He was later posted to St Lucia and in 1796 retook Fort Charlotte with the 27th Inniskiling Fusiliers, having fought for two solid days.

Peninsula War service saw Moore taking command of the British Forces in the Iberian Peninsula, and when Napoleon arrived in Spain with 200,000 men, Moore drew the French northwards and established a defensive position on the hills outside Vigo. He was fatally wounded at the Battle of Corunna on 16 January 1809 being “struck in his left breast and shoulder by a cannon shot, which broke his ribs, his arm, lacerated his shoulder and the whole of his left side of lungs”, his final words to his old friend Colonel Anderson being “you know I always wished to die this way, I hope the people of Scotland will be satisfied! I hope my country will do me justice!”

81* Wellesley (Arthur, Duke of Wellington, 1769-1852). An unpublished autograph dispatch signed ‘Wellington’, Cea, 17 April 1810, ‘No. 23’, to Admiral Nathaniel Berkeley, in full, ‘Sir, there is a man by the name of Stephen Bromley who had deserted from the 4th Dragoons now in charge of the Provost Marshal at Lisbon; and I shall be very much obliged to you if you will let me know whether you will receive him into one of His Majesty’s ships, if he should be discharged from the Service. He is a stout man, and has not been guilty of any crime which renders him infamous. I shall be much obliged to you if you will send to England by the first opportunity one officer, four Sergeants and sixty Privates of the 28th Light Dragoons respecting whose passage the Assistant Quarter Master General will apply to the Agent of Transports’, Admiral Berkeley’s 4-line manuscript reply written vertically at foot of page 2, ‘That we will receive the man on board H.M.S., and that if the officers and men of the 23rd Lt. Dr. are ready they shall proceed to England on Wednesday morning’, 2 pages with integral blank, laid paper with Whatman watermark date of 1808, folio After halting the French advance in Portugal at Busaco, 27th September 1810, Wellington and his army retreated behind the defensive Lines of Torres Vedras.

Wellington had his headquarters at Viseu from 17th February 1810, but on 14th April 1810 moved them to Cea, in order to improve communications with his front line troops. Wellington himself reached Cea on 15th April, but it was immediately apparent to him (letter to General Crauford, 15th April) that Cea was inadequate for the needs of both himself and those of his headquarters staff, with the result that Wellington moved his headquarters back to Viseu on the day this dispatch was written and was back in Viseu himself by 19th April.

The recipient of this dispatch, Admiral George Cranfield Berkeley (1753-1818) was Royal Navy commander on the coast of Portugal, 1808-1812. He worked tirelessly for Wellington in support of the army in Portugal, with the result that Wellington was full of praise for his abilities, writing in 1810 of Berkeley that ‘his activity is unbounded, the whole range of the business of the Country in which he is stationed, civil, military, political, commercial, even ecclesiastical I believe, as well as naval, are objects of his attention’, and also described Berkeley as the best naval commander he had ever cooperated with. Berkeley, who had previous to the Napoleonic Wars seen service afloat during the American Revolutionary War and the French Revolutionary Wars, retired from active service in 1812.

The Corporal Stephen Bromley who had been court-martialled for desertion was by 1810 a soldier of some considerable experience, having originally enlisted into the 4th Dragoons on 10th September 1799. His regiment landed at Lisbon on 24th April 1809 and prior to Bromley’s desertion saw action at Talavera, 27-28 July 1809, Busaco, 27 September 1810, and during the subsequent retreat to the Lines of Torres Vedras. Bromley would appear to have been convicted of the simple crime of desertion, since had he been guilty of desertion to the enemy he would have faced a firing squad on recapture.

The 28th Light Dragoons landed at Lisbon on 23rd June 1809, and subsequently saw action at Talavera. On the second day of the action at Talavera, 28th July, the regiment took part in a disastrous series of charges. Initially going in to action as a unit, the officers of the 23rd lost control of the men under their command. Charging far too fast, they failed to see a steeply banked dry river bed in front of them, into which the bulk of the regiment’s men and horses fell headlong. After the survivors had extricated themselves from the river bed, the regiment split into two wings, the smaller wing launching a suicidal attack against a French square, and being beaten off with heavy losses. The other, larger wing, some 200 strong, launched an equally forlorn charge against the leading brigades of a French cavalry division, taking on odds of five to one. Although the 200 men managed to fight their way through the first line of French cavalry, they were eventually fought to a standstill, surrounded and overwhelmed. During this series of charges the 23rd sustained heavy casualties, losing some 207 from its original strength of 459 officers and men, and ceased to exist as a fighting unit. As a result, Wellington ordered the 23rd home to England to recruit and rebuild.

Ian Fletcher, Wellington’s Regiments (Spellmount, 2005) records the regiment as having arrived back in England in January 1810. However, as this dispatch indicates, surviving members of the regiment were still being repatriated as late as April 1810. It took some time to train recruits and bring the regiment back up to strength, with the result that it did not return to the Peninsula and did not see action again until Waterloo, 18th June 1815.

This dispatch is not among those published by Lieutenant-Colonel Gurwood in his 7-volume The Dispatches of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington (1836), who records a total of six dispatches only from Cea by Wellington during his brief stay there; April 15th (3) and April 17th (3), this dispatch bringing the known total of despatches to seven.

82 Leigh (Augusta, née Byron, 1783-1851). Autograph commonplace book, 1802-21, manuscript in brown ink on laid paper, 101 unnumbered leaves, the initial leaf signed ‘Augusta Byron, May 13th 1802’ in Augusta Leigh’s hand, the remaining 100 unnumbered leaves with Leigh’s autograph transcripts of poems and other writings rectos and versos, folio 2 verso signed ‘Brighthelmstone’ (i.e. Brighton), folio 3 recto signed ‘June 14th 1802, Bn’, folio 97 verso signed ‘Stanmer, Oct 27, 1821’ (see note), 53 blanks, 21 leaves to rear containing manuscript transcriptions of French poetry written upside-down in a later hand, all edges gilt, contemporary green morocco gilt, spine rubbed and worn, small chip at foot, lower outer corner of front board worn, a few marks, 4to (20.5 x 15.5cm) Provenance: pencil inscription to front free endpaper, ‘From the sale by Messrs Christie, June 6. 1939, in lot 3, at 5 Carlton House Terrace, S.W.1, The Earl of Caledon’s house’.

Autograph commonplace book kept by Augusta Leigh (1783-1851), half-sister and alleged lover of Lord Byron, containing transcripts of hundreds of poems, extracts from novels and sermons, and other writings. Augusta appears to have started the book in 1802, a few months after the death of her grandmother Lady Holdernesse in 1801, ‘the end of the only period of real security that Augusta would ever know’ (Bakewell & Bakewell, Augusta Leigh, page 49), and to have continued it until the autumn of 1821, when she visited her sister Mary, Countess of Chichester, at Stanmer Park (op. cit., page 273). Lord Byron started a correspondence with Augusta in 1804, while he was still a student at Harrow. Contact dwindled after Augusta’s marriage to Colonel George Leigh in 1807 but the pair rediscovered each other in 1813 and became intimate friends. Augusta copies poems by well-known figures such as Thomas Moore, Sir Brooke Boothby and Edward Young, as well as several woman poets including Jane Bowdler, Charlotte Richardson Smith and Mary Julia Young. There are also frequent quotations from two novels, Ann Radcliffe’s Mysteries of Udolpho and Madame de Genlis’s Les Mères rivales. In many cases Augusta appears to have had a personal connection with the author, such as her relative Isabella Howard, Countess of Carlisle, whose Thoughts in the Forms of Maxims Addressed to Young Ladies she reproduces at length; Isabella was a daughter of the fourth Baron Byron, and Augusta lived for a time at the Carlisles’ seat as a guest of Isabella’s son Frederick (1748-1825), the fifth earl. When Augusta records extracts from longer works these are often the same sections found in contemporary magazines and anthologies, in particular Vicesmisus Knox’s extremely popular Elegant Extracts, first published in 1783: there is a perceptible bias in Augusta’s collection to 18th-century authors.

Original manuscript briefing notes entitled ‘Extract from Notes to accompany Itinerary from Cape Coast Castle to Coomassie’, drawn up by Lieutenant John Frederick Maurice, Royal Artillery, Private Secretary to Wolseley during the Ashantee Campaign of 1873-74, and one of the founder members of Wolseley’s ‘Ashantee Ring’, dated 27 September 1873, comprising 11 handwritten pages on six folio sheets of blue official army notepaper, incorporating a pen and ink map of the Ashantee capital, Coomassie, signed with initials ‘J.M. Cape C.C.E.’ (Cape Coast Castle Expedition), accompanied by a watercolour sketch of the cape coast castle from the seaward side by acting Lieutenant (later Admiral) James Stoddart, Royal Navy (1827-1892), watercolour on card, pencil inscription to verso ‘‘Cape Coast Castle, Admiral Stoddart, as Lieutenant, 1836’, 18.5 x 26cm A surprise attack on the British Gold Coast Protectorate by the Ashantee King took place on 22nd January 1873. Months of sporadic violence followed, which the resident British forces - a battalion of the West India Regiment and one hundred Royal Marines - barely managed to contain. A punitive expedition was dispatched from England under the command of Major-General Garnet Wolseley, who embarked for the Gold Coast aboard the SS Ambris with an advance part of thirty-five staff officers, from Liverpool on 12th September 1873. Wolseley and his officers landed at the Gold Coast Castle on 2nd October 1873. This draft plan of campaign was drawn up by Lieutenant Maurice while Wolseley was at sea, being dated just five days prior to their disembarkation at Cape Coast Castle. Arriving, by design, well in advance of the main body of his force, which did not arrive until January 1874, Wolseley had a detailed plan, based on Lieutenant Maurice’s comprehensive notes, in place by the time his troops arrived.

Coomassie road, supported by the three flanking columns, and converging on Coomassie for the final assault. Captain (later Major-General Sir) John Frederick Maurice (1841-1912) obtained material and information from a wide variety sources, including Admiral James Stoddart, from whom he obtained this watercolour showing the location and strategic importance of the Cape Coast Castle, which became the base for operations during the Ashantee campaign.

After citing the various published and written sources used when drawing up the plan of campaign, including Bowdich’s Mission to Ashantee (1817), Hutton’s A Voyage to Africa (1820), Dupuy’s Journal of a Residence in Ashantee (1820), Commander William Winniatt’s Journal of his visit to the King of Ashantee (1848) and the Guide for Strangers traveling to Coomassie (1862), the notes provided General Wolseley with a detailed account of the country between the coast and the Ashantee capital, its peoples, towns and villages (with estimates of population), the jungles, rivers and swamps, climate and potential for obtaining supplies during an advance; Maurice details five different potential routes from the coast to Coomassie (7 pages of the text), outlining potential difficulties, whether the land to be crossed might prove friendly or hostile, the total distance covered by each route, along with a copied map of the Ashantee capital, taken from Bowditch, at a scale of 400 paces to the inch, indicating the position of the principal buildings and locations in the city, including ‘Aboosaywe, or place of execution’, the palace, temple, etc, and the various types of terrain in the immediate vicinity of the capital; ‘swamp’, ‘ground cleared but rocky’, ‘yam garden’, etc, as a guide to selecting the best route for the final attack. Five routes are proposed: one from the River Prah through Kairokou, Eusaguesu, Abbatea and Biaqua to Coomassie, Maurice noting with regard to this route that ‘as the tribes to the west of Elminia have revolted, this route leaves the left flank of the line of communication so exposed that it would seem madness’; a second route from the Cape Coast Castle via Anamaboe, which Maurice describes as being ‘too difficult and dangerous’; a third route from Accra to Aguieso across the rivers Birrimo, Auinee and Boosim-Prah, described as having ‘the advantage of starting from Accra, as a base the most healthy place on the coast and well within British territory’; a fourth route from Accra, passing to the north of the proposed route 3; and a fifth route to Coomassie via the River Volta, which Maurice notes as only being practicable if the river was navigable when the campaign commenced.

Wolseley was able to complete the campaign successfully in only two months, evacuating his troops before the malarial wet season arrived. The plan of campaign that Wolseley put into action was essentially an amalgam of the first two options proposed by Maurice, described respectively as ‘madness’ and ‘difficult and dangerous’, Wolseley overcame the problems these two routes presented by negotiating agreements with the previously hostile tribes on the left flank of his line of attack, and recruiting them to actually assist in the invasion of the Ashantee kingdom that had been previously oppressing them. The problem of passing large numbers of troops through dense jungle along narrow tracks and roads was overcome by splitting his attack into four columns, constructing an advance jumping off point in the interior at Prahsu, approximately fifty miles from Coomassie, from which the main column attacked along the Prahsu -

Provenance: From the Alderson family by direct descent, and accompanied by photocopied pages of A.R. Alderson's pilot's log book recording the flights. As recounted by Captain Roly Alderson to his children there was an attempted poisoning of the crew by Nazi collaborators trying to assassinate De Gaulle, and while Alderson was rendered quite ill himself and while De Gaulle survived, other members of the crew died. The incident is referred to obliquely at the end of the first paragraph, 'malgrĂŠ l'indisposition que vous avez eue a Freetown'. De Gaulle famously survived numerous assassination attempts but documented evidence for this attempt has not been found.

88* Lewis (Clive Staples, 1898-1963 ). Autograph letter signed, ‘C.S. Lewis’, Magdalen College, Oxford, 22 May 1952, to ‘Grittletonians’ in response to their fan letters for the first two books of the Chronicles of Narnia, ‘Like you, I am sorry that Peter and Susan are not going back to Narnia, but I think, being the two eldest, they are now getting to the age at which people stop having that sort of adventure for a time they may start having it again later, but not for some years. The new book is called The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Lucy and Edmund find Caspian (now King of course) on board ship, sailing to the Eastern end of the Narnian world. There will be lots about Reepicheep. And there will be a Sea Serpent, and a Dragon, and lots of strange islands. I do hope you will all like it. I intend to have seven of these stories altogether - that is, four more after the next one. They will be called The Chronicles of Narnia. The sixth [‘fifth’ deleted and corrected] book will go right back to the beginning and explain how there came to be that magic wardrobe in the Professor’s house - for of course you will have guessed that the old Professor must have known something about things like that himself, or else he would never have believed what the children told him. I don’t know yet what will happen in the seventh. What do you think would be a good thing to end the whole series with?

Of course Aslan will come into them all’, the author then reflecting, ‘I wonder what other books you all like. I like George MacDonald’s two Curdy books and Tolkien’s The Hobbit, and [Kenneth Grahame’s] The Wind in the Willows. Do you write stories yourselves? I did at your age: it is the greatest fun’, and adding two further works in the post script, ‘E. Nesbitt’s [sic] works are splendid, I think: especially The Phoenix and the Wishing Carpet and The Amulet’, a little creased, 2 pages, oblong 8vo (14 x 21.5cm) The recipients of this warm and insightful letter about the plot lines and planning for the Narnia series would have been pupils at Grittleton House School, in the village of Grittleton, Wiltshire, an independent co-educational school which opened in 1951, (closed in 2016), and this letter must have been written in response to some of its first pupils. The school's rural country mansion character and setting would have borne some similarity to Lewis’s description of the professor's mansion in the countryside where the young Pevensie children went to live, and where they discovered the wardrobe. Lewis, too, would have empathised with the children from Grittleton House School, not too far away in the adjoining county to Oxford where he was then living, for he spent some of his early childhood in a large house on the edge of Belfast, and then much of his youth in boarding schools. At the time Lewis wrote this letter he had already written the first five books, but clearly had not yet decided how the final book would end. The Magician's Nephew (the last to be written) was completed in February 1954 and published in May 1955. The Last Battle (the final work in the series) was completed in March 1953 and published in September 1956. In 1957 Lewis wrote to an American fan: 'I think I agree with your [chronological] order for reading the books more than with your mother's. The series was not planned beforehand as she thinks. When I wrote The Lion I did not know I was going to write any more. Then I wrote P. Caspian as a sequel and still didn't think there would be any more, and when I had done The Voyage I felt quite sure it would be the last, but I found I was wrong. So perhaps it does not matter very much in which order anyone read them. I'm not even sure that all the others were written in the same order in which they were published' (Lyle Dorsett & Marjorie Lamp Mead, editors, C.S. Lewis: Letters to Children, 1995). To find Lewis championing Wind in the Willows (1908) and the much later The Hobbit (1937) is unsurprising, but the two other authors mentioned were equally important and influential from a young age. Of George MacDonald, (an important influence on Tolkien too), Lewis wrote 'George MacDonald had done more to me than any other writer', and of E.E. Nesbit's Psammead trilogy and The Story of the Amulet (1906) Lewis wrote ‘[This] did the most for me. It first opened my eyes to antiquity, the "dark backward and abysm of time"'. As an adult he was able to say, 'I can still reread it with delight'.

The first edition was published in two issues: one with descriptive text printed on the verso of each plate, and one without the text. The deluxe issue without text backing the plates (as here) was undoubtedly intended to be coloured by hand, the versos left blank to ensure no shadow of the printed text would detract from the image. This first edition was limited to 300 copies, each of which carried a premium price. The watermark of a pine cone within an armorial shield present on these sheets (and on those of lot 92) may represent the arms of Augsburg, suggesting that production of these plates was undertaken in the workshop of Wolfgang Kilian in Augsburg.

One of the most beautiful flower books of the 17th century containing bulbous plants such as tulips, irises and lilies, roses, sunflowers, peonies and poppies. According to Hunt (190), the images are copied, in reverse from Vallet, Besler and Van de Pas, who also suggests that some of the prints are trial editions ‘avant la lettre’. The first edition of 1611 (see first dedication page) contained 112 plates. Plates 41 to 93 are repeated in the 2nd edition of 1612 but without the first 40 plates. There were three further editions between 1614 and 1615, all with different numbers of plates. Born in Strasbourg, De Bry was an engraver and publisher who was taught by his father Theodor, and with whom he worked closely on this Florilegium.

In 1730, he was sent to Marienburg in Leuwaarden by the Landgrafs daughter, Marie-Luise von Hessen-Kassel, the widowed Princess of Orange, where he was in charge of the ornamental as well as the kitchen gardens. He was very successful in cultivating potatoes and in December 1742, potatoes were served for the very first time. Despite his success, he was sacked in 1749 due to drunkeness. In order to make ends meet, he taught mathematics and wrote several books on various subjects, including plant systems, gardening , astronomy, mathematics and history. Despite all his efforts to reconstruct his life, he became impoverished and died in 1769 in a poor house in Amsterdam.

The allegorical map shows Europe as a regal queen, but this anti-Napoleonic image demotes Europa from a virgin queen to a homely middle-aged housewife. The figure is superimposed over a map that includes a surprising amount of detail. Spain & Portugal comprise her head, Italy is her left arm, stirring with her right arm (Corsica and Sardinia) in a pot (Sicily). Her scarf forms the British Isles, and the rest of the continent is encompassed in her flowing dress.

The four corners of the map are decorated with allegorical figures and various objects and symbols, most notable a tennis racket with balls in the lower right corner, and a croquet mallet with balls in the lower left. The centre of the map is a circular view of Augsburg, the home town and starting point of Hainhofer's travels. There is an edition of this 'map' with explanatory text below the map but this appears to have been printed from a separate block and is presumably a later or variant state. The large blank margin outside the platemark below the printed image on this example would allow for this additional information to be added.

110* Holy Roman Empire. Manuscript map, circa 1680, pen and watercolour on thick paper on two conjoined sheets, old folds strengthened to verso, 560 x 625mm A dramatic early German manuscript map covering the Netherlands and France to Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria, Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Switzerland and Italy with the Gulf of Venice and Hungary. There is a small ribbon cartouche with a ten point legend identifying the various circles as well as the thirteen main cities in Europe although these are not identified on the map. It is possible that this was an educational map prepared for students of a military school which would explain the use of fortress symbols for the towns. The date is placed at around 1680 as Franche Comte is already part of France (1678).

Containing Newfoundland, New Scotland, New England, New York, New Jersey, Pensilvania, Maryland, Viginia and Carolina, sold by H. Moll over aginst Deverux Court in the Strand, circa 1715, engraved map on two conjoined sheets, contemporary outline colouring with later enhancement, inset maps of Charleston Harbor, ‘A map of the principal part of North America’, The Carolinas with the English, French and Indian settlements and Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico, as well as Moll’s famous depiction of beavers busy at work at the base of Niagara Falls, old folds, some professional restoration to margins and folds on verso, 1015 x 615mm R. V. Tooley. The Mapping of North America, 55, variant state. “One of the first and most important cartographic documents relating to the dispute between France and Great Britain over boundaries separating their respective American colonies. The map was the primary exponent of the British position during the period immediately following the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713” (Degrees of Latitude). The large vignette gives the map it’s popular name, the ‘Beaver Map’.

This shows an early view of Niagara Falls, with a colony of beavers at work in the foreground. The fur from the beaver was an important component of the fur trade and coupled with its reputation as an industrious animal, was deemed an appropriate image to represent the nation as a whole. This issue has Moll’s address as ‘against Deverux Court in the Strand’ an address he occupied from 1710 -1732 (Worms & Baynton Williams. British Map Engravers). The date on the inset map of Louisiana is 1712 and it retains the early imprint of ‘Cherecies 3000 men’ and the inset map of Carolina is not divided into parishes, thus corresponding to Tooley’s first state.

V. Tooley. Mapping of America, 80 (page 130).

A spectacular wall map, based on De Fer’s map of 1713 and focusing on the Americas but which also includes all of the Pacific with the East Indies and Japan, and all of the Atlantic with a good deal of western Europe and Africa. Explorers tracks, notably those of Magellan and Le Maire, are shown in the South Pacific and the established trade routes are shown throughout the oceans. The map is filled with vignettes providing a panorama of the New World and illuminating the native culture and indigenous flora and fauna. The vignettes are enclosed in a rococo framework and include a spectacular view of Niagara Falls with the famous depiction of a beaver colony, a scene of the cod fisheries in Newfoundland, the rituals of the Aztecs and Incas including human sacrifice, mining and sugar operations in South America, and nine portrait medallions of explorers from the Discovery Period. Chatelain’s map is one of the most spectacular examples of the marriage between cartography and graphic art. It is richly decorated very much in the tradition of Dutch cartography.

122 Soulès (Francois). [Carte itineraire de la marche des troupes de York town a Boston, 1787], uncoloured engraved map on blue paper, old folds, sparse contemporary outline colouring, 280 x 940mm An uncommon and unusual Revolutionary War period map of the east coast of North America. It covers the region from Boston Harbour to the Chesapeake Bay. The map was one of three issued in Francois Soules’ Histoire des Troubles de l’Amerique Anglaise’. The main feature of the map is the road system from Boston to Yorktown, with Boston to Annapolis shown in yellow and Annapolis to Williamsburg in green. This road system was used by the combined forces of General Washington and Comte de Rochambeau as they moved south to attack the British at Yorktown. The map shows the sites of 54 camps along this route as well as 14 “marches” from Annapolis to Williamsburg, and is believed to be based on a similar Rochambeau manuscript map held in the Library of Congress.

‘The [Yingzao Fashi] was written by the imperial official in the Directorate of Construction Li Jie (1035?-1110, courtesy name Mingzhong) as a handbook for government standards for building methods, materials, and manpower. Not only the earliest but also the most comprehensive Chinese treatise on architectural technology to survive in its entirety, the YZFS is the most important primary text for the study of ancient Chinese architecture’ (Feng, page 2).

Li’s text first appeared in 1103 and was rediscovered in 1919 by scholar Zhu Qiqian (1872-1962), who unearthed an imperfect, later transcription of a Songdynasty reprint in Jiangnan library. He published a photolithographic edition in a reduced format the same year, but in his preface indicated several improvements required for a new edition, for which he had the illustrations entirely redrawn, commissioned a suite of new drawings from the master builder of the imperial palaces in Beijing, and had the painted decorations in chapters 33 and 34 printed in a lavish array of colours. ‘The new edition of the Yingzao Fashi published in 1925 was exquisite. Bound into eight volumes with silk thread binding, it exemplifies the scholarly tradition of restoring classics, with its erudite preface and postscripts, demonstration of philological scholarship, completeness of chapters, sections, texts, and drawings, and imitation of the Song-dynasty calligraphy and printing style’ (Li, page 477).

BRITISH TRAVEL & TOPOGRAPHY, MAPS & ATLASES

136 Lily (George), Britanniae insulae quae nunc Angliae et Scotiae regna continet cum Bibernia adiacente nova descriptio, Rome, 1558, uncoloured engraved map with the Sebastiano de Re da Chioggia imprint, orientated to the west with Ireland in the north, two panels with Latin text describe Ireland and Britain with a third containing the title, borders trimmed with new margins added, 400 x 550mm R. W. Shirley. Early Printed Maps of the British Isles, 1477 - 1650, 63.

This map is a close copy of the first separately printed map of the whole of the British Isles produced twelve years earlier by George Lily. Its overall scale is reduced by about a third from the 1546 state. The outline of England and Wales is based on a map of 1540 by Sebastian Munster. Many more place names and distinct topographical features are included. Ireland is still largely shapeless but Scotland is depicted with remarkable accuracy. This precise geographical depiction of Scotland is possible because Lily was able to consult a map of Scotland drawn by John Elden and presented to Henry VIII in 1538. Elden is known to have been in Rome in 1538. It is also possible that Lily had access to Hector Boece’s Scotorium Historiae and a map thought to have been made by Alexander Lindsay while accompanying James V of Scotland of a tour of the kingdom. A striking feature of this map is that it uses distinctive and conventional signs to show county capitals and towns and the status of archepiscopal and episcopal sees. Oddly neither Oxford, Gloucester or Peterborough are marked as an episcopal see even though they were made so between 1541 and 1542. Shirley speculates that this omission could suggest that a pre 1541 map was used as a source, but could also betray the author’s reluctance to acknowledge the newly created sees in light of the recent conflict between Rome and the English Crown. A rare map in remarkably good condition.

W. Shirley. Early Printed Maps of the British Isles 1477 - 1650, 137, state 5. Christopher Saxton published his twenty sheet wall map in 1583. It was reissued by Cade & Morgan in 1678. Philip Lea acquired the copper plates in about 1685 and re-published the map on a smaller scale designed to be used as a travelling map. He reduced the map to ten full sheets and four half sheets and removed a great deal of the sea, thus making the map relevant to land based travellers. The map - if partially conjoined - was pasted into five horizontal strips. The top three sheets made up of two sheets and the last two sheets made of two sheets with a half sheet pasted at each end. On this example the half sheets are attached. Philip Lea re-engraved the plates at least five times during his period of ownership. This example is his 5th and final state and therefore state 7 of a total of nine states. Lea moved from Poultry to Cheapside in 1687 and remained there until 1700. Following Lea’s death, Anne his widow, re-engraved and re-issued the map with Richard Glynne in 1720 and Thomas & John Bowles & Son repeated this in 1758. Scarce.

This edition is a re-issue of Robert Morden’s playing card maps but without the normal foliate borders which identify a Lenthall issue. The Bodleian Library has eighteen cards, The Beineke Library at Yale has seventeen cards, The British Library and Cambridge University Library have none.

Paradoxically much of Moll’s atlas was based on the maps of Robert Morden, a fact he acknowledged in his preface, but he claimed - not without some justification - to have corrected many errors in Camden’s text.

It must now be to you almost a “deserted village” & I do not wonder at your wish to leave it ...’. Jane Austen lived in Chawton, in a cottage bought for her by her brother Edward near the manor house which he himself owned, from 1809 until shortly before her death in 1817, during which time she was a frequent visitor to his residence at Godmersham, reputedly the model for Mansfield Park.

He was also a politician, being elected MP for Thetford in 1774 and for Westminster from 1776 to 1779.

Chapman and André's meticulously detailed and accurate survey of Essex resulted in the finest large-scale map of the county. It was the first to depict minor roads, and included every country house and cottage, milestone, bridge, turnpike, creek, ferry, cliff and even duck decoy. It is unlikely that more than 300 copies of the first edition were sold, though there was a second smaller edition issued in 1785.

Jack Randall was a diminutive Irish fighter, standing only 5ft 6 inches tall. One of the dominant pugilists of his era, compiling a 16-0-1 record as a professional, with all of his wins coming by knockout. Randall was admired by the foremost prizefighting reporter of the period, Pierce Egan, who also delighted in Randall’s Irish parentage. Randall struggled with alcoholism and died of alcohol-related causes at the early age of 34. He was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005, as a member of the “Pioneers” category.

Alken, with contemporary hand colouring, some staining affecting image, 135 x 220mm, framed and glazed

Born in Sneinton, Nottingham, Thompson was one of a set of triplets named Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, named after the young men in the Book of Daniel who survived and walked unscathed from the fiery furnace into which they had been flung by Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, for refusing to bow down and pay homage. He was the last of 21 children born in the slums between Long Row and Parliament Street. From an early age, Thompson developed well and was noted as having an ability with sports.

When he was 15 his father died and William was sent to the Nottingham Workhouse with his mother. After leaving the workhouse, Thompson sold oysters in and around the streets of Nottingham before obtaining a job as an iron turner. He had an incredible ability to punch hard and fast, and was said to be devoid of fear. He was also very agile, earning the name “Bendy” because of his constant bobbing and weaving around the ring; his nickname evolved and “Bendy” Abednego became “Bendigo”. Though it was his speed and agility that won him his fights, it was Thompson’s personality and sense of humour which endeared him to the crowd. He would make up rhymes about his opponents during the fights, and distract them with insults and tall tales of their wives and mothers while pulling funny faces at them. It wasn’t long before Thompson was drawing crowds of over 10,000 people to his illicit fights, held secretly out of town in barns or fields. Like many of his contemporaries he struggled with alcoholism, but found redemption in the church and despite being illiterate became a powerful preacher who was not averse to settling a heckling audience with a few well placed blows.

His fame was so legendary that at his death at the age of sixty-nine, even ‘The Times’ published an obituary, a singular honour not usually reserved for illiterate bare knuckle prize fighters born in a Nottingham slum.

Cash: Payments can be made at the Cashier’s Office, either during or after the sale.

Debit Card: There is no additional charge for purchases made with debit cards in the UK. Credit Cards: We accept Visa and Mastercard. It is advisable to let your card provider know in advance if you are intending to purchase. This reduces the time needed to obtain authorisation when the payment is made.

Bank Transfer: All transfers must state the relevant invoice number. If transferring from a foreign currency, the amount we receive must be the total due after the currency conversion and the deduction of any bank charges.

Note to Overseas Clients: All payments must be made by bank transfer only. No card payments will be accepted unless by special prior arrangements with the auctioneers.

Collection/Postage/Delivery: If you attend the auction in person and are successful in your bid, you are free to collect your item once payment has been made.

Successful commission or live bids will be invoiced to you the day after the sale. When it is possible for our in-house packing department to send your purchase(s), a charge for postage/packing/insurance will be included in your invoice. Where it is not possible for our in-house packing department to send your item you will be required to make your own arrangements or to contact Mailboxes etc (tel: 01793 525009) or Pack and Send (tel: 01635 887237) who may be able to help.

We provide a monthly delivery service to Central London, usually on Wednesday of the week following an auction. Payment must be received before this option can be requested. A charge will be added to your invoice for this service.

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE") Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite.

Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's death. The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd. an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot.

The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.

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.
