C L THOMAS (1877-1955) A brief biography

Charles Lewis Thomas was born on 19 September 1877 in Dunedin. He received his primary education at Union Street School and was subsequently indentured to the pharmaceutical profession under Mr Loasby, followed by a professional appointment at Leeston, Canterbury, where he passed the New Zealand Pharmacy Board's examination in October 1899, being one of the first to do so.

He then moved to Sydney where he gained further pharmaceutical experience. He returned to New Zealand and acted as locum tenens, finally settling in Napier. He started his own pharmacy business in 1905. About this time, through business contact with Maori families, he developed a passion for the history of Aotearoa New Zealand and began acquiring books on the subject.

He was a prime mover in the establishment of an 'urgent pharmacy', to reduce the incredibly long hours worked by pharmacists and their assistants. It was agreed by Napier pharmacists to take turns staying open till 8pm, as an urgent pharmacy, on a weekly basis. The idea spread throughout New Zealand.

The Hawke's Bay earthquake of 3 February 1931 destroyed his place of business entirely. He was left with only his Waterman fountain pen, which today serves as a grim reminder of the devastating event. Fortunately, his residence and library in Jull Street were left relatively unscathed.

Following the quake, he put up temporary premises in front of the house until the Napier business district was rebuilt.

He died in 1955. His son Owen, born in 1916, inherited and added to the collection, as I have done, carrying on the tradition started by this remarkable man.

Earle, Augustus A narrative of a nine months’ residence in New Zealand, in 1827 ; together with a journal of a residence in Tristan d’Acunha, an island situated between South America and the Cape of Good Hope.

1st ed. London : Printed for Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green, & Longman, 1832.

8vo. x, 371p. Frontispiece, six plates. 1757. Rebound. Blind- and gold-tooled half leather/marbled boards. Marbled endpapers and page edges. Some wear to binding, especially to spine and corners. Some foxing/browning to contents, especially to plates.

Hand-coloured bookplate of Sir William H Cooper, Bart, on front pastedown. Earle’s crowded six months (not nine) in northern New Zealand gave posterity a double legacy.

In his text a fascinating if not unprejudiced outline of Maori social life and custom and European intruders in the amalgam’s most unsettling period; in the sketches not merely landscapes but a series of reclining or posturing figures, the most striking of any visitor since the navigators’ artists. Earle crossed from Sydney to Hokianga in 1827, moving across after a short stay to the Bay of Islands. The ‘Narrative’ crisply depicts not merely the set scenes such as tattooing, the haka a hui to discuss peace or war, the grimmer aspects of eliminating an expendable slave or errant wife, but an almost pastoral glimpse of village agriculture. The death of Hongi, the tensions, local conflicts, and disputes contrast with his strictures on the missionaries, later challenged and unwarrantably extreme, prompted by a genuine sympathy for the Maori. An appealing copy of this important and scarce work. G. Est. $800 124

1st New Zealand ed. Auckland : Robert J Creighton & Alfred Scales, 1863. 8vo. xiv, 239p. 3343. Brown cloth. Rebacked. New endpapers. Corners bumped. Mild wear and foxing to contents. Maning first settled at Kohukohu, Hokianga, in 1833, moving four years later to Onoke, home for most of his subsequent life. The book describes the experiences and impressions of his first decade during which he was variously trader, timber and general merchant before, in middle life, recognition led in 1865 to his appointment as a judge of the Native Land Court. The book embodies his zest for life, his humour variously ironic or blatantly hearty, his friendliness with his RarawaNgapuhi neighbours, before, with advancing years, his alternating moods of extravagant exuberance and withdrawn rejection of himself, his work and the Maoris acquired an almost manic-depressive character.

William Colenso (1811-1899) Missionary, printer, botanist, explorer and politician.

Born in Penzance, Cornwall, he was the cousin of John William Colenso, first Anglican Bishop of Natal. He trained as a printer’s apprentice and travelled to New Zealand in 1834 to work for the Church Missionary Society as a printer/missionary. He was responsible for the first printings of the Treaty of Waitangi and the New Testament in Maori.

He was an avid botanist, detailing and transmitting to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, England, previously unrecorded New Zealand flora. In 1866 he was the first New Zealander to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. He wrote several books and contributed over a hundred papers to scientific journals.

In the 1840s, from his mission station in Hawke’s Bay, he made several long journeys through the central North Island in the company of Maori guides with the aim of reaching inland Maori settlements and converting them to Christianity. His travels took him through trackless forest, over the high Ruahine Range, across the Rangipo Desert and past the mountains of Ruapehu and Tongariro to the shores of Lake Taupo, contributing greatly to the European exploration of the central North Island.

His standing in New Zealand colonial society and the Church Missionary Society, along with his fervent hope of ordination, was lost when it was discovered that he had fathered a son by Ripeka, the Maori maid of his wife, Elizabeth Fairburn Colenso.

Following a long wilderness period, during which he continued his botanical work, he took an active role as a local politician in Napier. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1861, but was defeated by Donald McLean in 1866.

He died in Napier in 1899, leaving two sons and a daughter. His son by Ripeka, Wiremu/William left New Zealand for Cornwall, married a cousin and lived in Penzance until his death. His son by Elizabeth Fairburn, Ridley Latimer, attended Cambridge University and finally settled in Scotland. His daughter Frances Mary married William Henry Simcox and settled in Otaki, New Zealand.

Lacquered brass dissecting microscope sent by renowned British botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker to William Colenso.

London : Ross, c1880s. Housed in brown leather-covered and purple velvet-lined wooden case measuring 125 x 130 x 160mm. The instrument consists of a pillar fixed to a circular base. To the upper part of the pillar is attached a large flat stage, provided with a clip for securing slides and other objects. By means of a knob, a bar is raised out of the pillar to a maximum height of about 200mm. This bar carries a lens holder having a horizontal movement, by means of a rack and pinion, and turning on a circular pin. A concave mirror is included, for reflecting light through the large hole in the stage, together with a pair of forceps, for holding small objects. There are five lenses.

Engraved on upper side of base: ‘Ross, 5171. London.’ Initials scratched on underside of base: ‘WC’. Provenance: originally from the collection of Henry Hill. From youth Colenso had been fascinated by natural history. In 1841, during the visits of the ships of Sir James Clark Ross’s Antarctic Expedition, he made the acquaintance of Joseph Dalton Hooker, to whose father, Sir William Hooker, he had been sending botanical specimens. He accompanied J D Hooker on many botanical excursions and afterwards carried on a correspondence with him extending over 50 years. On 31 December 1884, Colenso wrote to Hooker, now Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, asking him to procure a microscope to ‘investigate our Mosses & Hep[atica]’ and enclosing a draft of £40 for the purpose. Hooker duly obliged and Colenso received this microscope in October 1885. A quick glance at the contents of the ‘Transactions and proceedings of the New Zealand Institute’ from 1885 to 1899, the year of Colenso’s death, shows that he made numerous contributions after receiving the microscope. One is tempted to imagine that it reinvigorated him. In any case, it is an artefact of one of the most important relationships in the history of New Zealand science. Microscope VG. Case G.

Contains three pins, one skewering a small, faintly iridescent butterfly or moth. Provenance: originally from the collection of Henry Hill. Perhaps better known for his work in the field of botany, Colenso was also interested in other branches of natural history. Several articles by him concerning Lepidoptera were published in the ‘Transactions and proceedings of the New Zealand Institute’, including ‘Notes on a peculiar chrysalis of an unknown species of butterfly’ (1888).

Drawn up from the journals which were kept by the several commanders, and from the papers of Joseph Banks, Esq. In three volumes.

2nd ed. London : Printed for W Strahan and T Cadell, 1773. 4to. Page size: 285 x 230mm. Volume I: xxxvi, 456p. 21 maps and plates. Volume II: xiv, 410p. 22 maps and plates. Volume III: 395p. Nine maps and plates. 2514. Beddie 650. Full leather.

Bookplate of Roger Hesketh Esq, Tulketh, on front pastedown of volume I. Small tape repair to reverse of ‘A chart of the Straights of Magellan [etc]’ (in volume I). Dampstaining to lower region of several pages of volume III. The main purpose of the first voyage, undertaken at the suggestion of the Royal Society, was to observe the transit of Venus at Tahiti on 3 June 1769. This task completed, Cook’s additional instructions directed him to the search for the hypothetical southern continent in a specific area of the South Pacific. Failing its discovery, he was to explore as much of the New Zealand coast as circumstances permitted. From the Poverty Bay landing on 8 October until his departure from Queen Charlotte Sound six months later on 31 March 1770, landings were made at a number of localities and the coastline charted with remarkable accuracy. A handsome set of the second edition, which includes Hawkesworth’s reply to Dalrymple’s attack on the account. G to G+. Est. $6,000

GUIDE FOR BUYERS

Bethunes at Webb's has set out the following information for those unfamiliar with auction procedures. Please refer to the 'Conditions of sale for buyers' printed in this catalogue and displayed in the saleroom.

FLOOR BIDDERS Register and obtain a bidder card before bidding on any lot/s.

Be aware that a buyer's premium of 20% plus GST (i.e. 23%) is payable in addition to the bid price.

Make your bids clear, preferably by holding up your bidder card.

If you make a mistake (e.g. the auctioneer takes a bid from you at a higher level than you had intended, or you bid on the wrong lot), call out to the auctioneer immediately so that the bidding can be adjusted.

Waiting until the hammer falls is too late.

If your bid is the highest and the lot is knocked down to you, you have entered into a binding obligation to pay for that lot.

BIDDING INCREMENTS ARE AT THE AUCTIONEER'S DISCRETION Bidding will commence at a bidding increment over the second highest absentee bid received. Where no bids have been received, bidding will commence at half the auctioneer's lot estimate, or at $10, at the auctioneer's sole discretion.

SALES SUBJECT TO VENDOR'S APPROVAL Where your bid is the highest, but still below the reserve, the auctioneer may declare you to be the buyer 'subject to vendor's approval' ('SVA' or 'subject'). This means that your bid is held as binding and will be communicated to the vendor at the earliest opportunity. If the vendor accepts, there is a contractual obligation for you to pay for the lot. If the vendor does not accept, you are released from any obligation, however you will have first right to negotiate with the vendor through Bethunes at Webb's until an agreement is reached.

Bethunes at Webb's will not present other offers to the vendor until your negotiations are ended.

ABSENTEE BIDDERS Bethunes at Webb's will endeavour to ensure that your bidding instructions are executed, but accepts no responsibility or liability for failure to do so.

Lots will be bought as favourably as is allowed by bidding in the sale room, other competitive absentee bids and any reserve imposed by the vendor. Please note that Bethunes at Webb's cannot guarantee that another bidder will not be successful at your limit if, in the course of competitive bidding, a floor bidder bids your limit first.

Absentee bids are accepted by written instruction, which can be sent by fax, email or post to arrive no later than the evening before the sale. Priority will be given to the earliest received absentee bid where identical bids are received. Absentee bids will be executed on the following basis: If your bid limit is equal to or above a reserve, the auctioneer may open the bidding at reserve on your behalf and will bid thereafter only in response to competition for the lot.

If your bid limit is below a reserve, the auctioneer may open the bidding at your limit and if there are no further bids in the room may sell to you subject to vendor's approval.

In the absence of a reserve, the auctioneer may exercise your bid in advance of any opening bid, or may open the bidding on your behalf at a bidding increment over the second highest absentee bid received.

If no other absentee bids have been received, bidding will commence at half the auctioneer's lot estimate, or at $10, at the auctioneer's sole discretion.

PHONE BIDDERS Phone bids are available on lots with estimates over $100 and where the auctioneer is able to confirm availability of staff to provide this service. The same conditions as above apply to phone bidders.

Bethunes at Webb's will call the number you have provided some time before the lot you have requested to bid on comes up for sale. If your phone is engaged or we are unable to make contact, the auction will proceed without your bidding. When we have made contact, our staff will tell you that your lot is about to come up and will ask you to hold. Bids will be relayed to you and you may enter the bidding at any time by making your call. Please note that the bidding at many auctions can be fast. The auctioneer will not favour a phone bidder over and above floor bidders by giving them more time to bid. You will need to establish your limit and make sure that you bid clearly and promptly.

PRE-SALE ESTIMATES Estimates printed in the catalogue or given verbally are intended as a guide only and may be subject to revision nearer to the time of a sale.

Bethunes at Webb's staff are available during pre-sale viewing times and by appointment to assist prospective bidders with estimates and any aspect of the auction procedure.

CONDITION REPORTS Bethunes at Webb's staff will provide condition reports over and above the catalogue description for out of town buyers. However, please note that item 6 of the 'Conditions of sale for buyers' will still apply despite the obtaining of a condition report.

PAYMENT Payment for all items purchased is due on the day of sale, immediately following completion of the sale. If full payment cannot be made on the day of sale, a deposit of 10% of the total sum due must be made on the day of sale and the balance must be paid within five working days. Payment is by cash or eftpos. Cheques will be accepted but must be cleared before removal of goods. Major credit cards are accepted.

11. FAILURE TO MAKE PAYMENT.

To issue proceeding against the purchaser for damages for breach of contract.

B. To rescind the sale of that or any other lot sold to the purchaser at the same or any other auction.

C. To resell the lot by public or private sale. Any deficiency resulting from such resale, after giving credit to the purchaser for any part payment, together with all costs incurred in connection with the lot shall be paid to Bethunes at Webb's by the purchaser. Any surplus over the proceeds of sale shall belong to the vendor and in this condition the expression 'proceeds of sale' shall have the same meaning in relation to a sale by private treaty as it has in relation to a sale by auction.

D. To store the lot, whether at Bethunes at Webb's own premises or elsewhere, at the sole expense of the purchaser and to release the lot only after the purchase price has been paid in full, plus the accrued cost of removal and storage, and all other costs connected to the lot.

E. To charge interest on the purchase price at a rate 2% above Bethunes at Webb's bankers' then current rate for commercial overdraft facilities, to the extent that the price or any part of it remains unpaid for more than seven days from the date of the sale.

F. To retain possession of that or any other lot purchased by the purchaser at that or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of money due.

In the event that a lot is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed before title is transferred to the purchaser, the purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of all monies paid to Bethunes at Webb's in respect of that lot, but shall not be entitled to any compensation for any consequent losses howsoever arising.

12. BIDDERS DEEMED PRINCIPALS. All bidders shall be held personally and solely liable for all obligations arising from any bid, including both phone and absentee bids.
