Stobhall: The Library. The property of Viscount Strathallan Stobhall is one of the ancestral seats of the Drummond family and original home of the Drummond chiefs. In 1367 Sir John Drummond received a royal grant of the land of Stobhall which had been owned by the family of his wife, Mary Montfichet. Their daughter Annabella married the future Robert III of Scotland and became his Queen. Queen Annabella died in 1401 and is an ancestress of all succeeding sovereigns of Scotland and the United Kingdom. In 1491 the first Lord Drummond obtained permission from the King to build a fortified castle. This he did near Crieff and called it Drummond Castle. Thereafter Stobhall was kept as a secondary Estate, and used for fishing and hunting by the family. However when Cromwell invaded Scotland Drummond Castle was occupied by his troops and rendered uninhabitable. The then Earl of Perth returned to Stobhall and, finding it too small, built the Dower House and other buildings. James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth, was born in France but returned to Scotland in 1734 to live at Drummond Castle with his mother. He was one of Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s closest commanders and he was involved in the siege of Carlisle. Clan Drummond fought as Jacobites at both the Battle of Falkirk (1746) and the Battle of Culloden in 1746. At the Battle of Culloden James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth, commanded the left wing. He survived the battle, but died on board a boat escaping to France and was buried at sea. His brother Lord John Drummond went into exile in France. Their cousin, William Drummond, 4th Viscount Strathallan, was killed during the battle. For their support of the Jacobite Stuarts through the risings of 1715 and 1745 the property and titles of the Drummonds were twice forfeited. It was not until 1853, through an Act of Parliament, that the title of Earl of Perth and other forfeited titles were restored to George Drummond. Some volumes in the library have been in the family for generations but many were purchased by John David Drummond, 17th Earl of Perth (1907-2002), statesman, banker, collector and bibliophile. With the help of Dudley Massey, of Pickering and Chatto, and John Collins of Maggs Bros., he built up a library of Scottish and English literature, fine bindings, natural history and travel. He concentrated on two fields: Scottish history, particularly the Jacobite cause, and natural history, and was particularly delighted when he was able to purchase a significant portion of the Drummond library which turned up at auction in Germany in the early 1960’s as part of the estate of a Baron Munchausen. A valuable selection of his library was sold in London in November 2003.

commonly known as “Laud’s Liturgy”, or “Laud’s Book”. This was an extremely controversial book. Laud first visited Scotland in 1633, and was shocked by ecclesiastical conditions there. Laud was the guiding force behind a proposal by Charles I to issue new canons and a new prayer-book for the Scottish church. The work was entrusted to Scottish bishops, but their final text was sent to the king for revision, and once again Laud played a major role. When the book was published the Presbyterian Scots regarded it as an imposition, and it soon led to the first Bishops’ War, a step towards the Civil War and the eventual death of Laud and Charles. The sensitive nature of this volume can be inferred from the numerous signs of last-minute changes; for a description of press corrections, suppressed settings, etc. see The Bibliotheck, V (1967), pp.1-23. The most noteworthy change in plans was the decision to cancel a final part of the Psalter headed “Certaine Godly Prayers”. Copies of the first edition retain the catchword “Certaine” at the foot of the last leaf, though the Psalter was soon reset, and the catchword cropped. In fact two further leaves (kk7-8) were actually printed, but they have been cancelled in almost all known copies. The present copy is one of a very few which survive with these leaves present; they have been neatly crossed through in ink, but were never removed. Only two other such copies are noted by the STC, at the Bodleian and Morgan Library.

138 Fine armorial binding - Cardinal Duke of York [Manuscript copy of the funeral oration of James II.] Oraison funebre de tres-haut, tres-puissant, tres excellent et tres religieux Prince Jacques II. Paris, 1702, 8vo, (180 x 130mm.), 71pp., brown morocco gilt with gilt arms of Cardinal Duke of York on sides Note: Henry Benedict Maria Clement Stuart, second son of James III, “the King over the Water” or, to his enemies, “The Old Pretender”. Henry’s older and only brother was Charles Edward - the Bonnie Prince Charlie of song, daring and disaster. Henry was therefore the last of the Royal Stuarts in direct descent of the senior line. When he accepted a cardinalate in 1747 and was ordained priest one year later he effectively abandoned his birthright as a Stuart. As Bishop of Frascati the Cardinal Duke of York, he reorganized and extended the Seminary alongside his Episcopal Palace, set up the Frascati Seminary Press and established a library. His arms show the Royal Arms, with the Crown surmound by a Cross and a Cardinal’s Hat, and the mantling embraced by the Cardinal knots and tassels give the binding an unusual interest and value. The engraving shows the Royal Arms still quartered for France. The collection known as the Cardinal of York’s Library is now in the Vatican. £500-700 138

One of these was Thomas Fairfax, 1st Baron Fairfax of Cameron. The signatures on entries 64 and 106 are probably those of Charles Fairfax, Thomas’s son, and a noted antiquary and heraldist. It is not known who the herald was who produced the book. It is done on pro-forma engravings, which were quite common for this sort of purpose from the 17th to 19th centuries, and was created between 1633 (when Douglas becomes a Marquess) and 1641 (when Argyll becomes a Marquess). The book was probably compiled on single sheets and then bound. The book belonged in the 19th century to Alexander Deuchar, the well-known herald painter. His bookplate is inside the front cover, and the curious endpapers are characteristic of books from his library. £1,200-1,800 217 Map - Ainslie, John Scotland drawn and engrav’d from a series of angles and astronomical observations.

267 Ramsay, Allan A poem to the memory of the famous Archbald [sic] Pitcairn, M.D. By a member of the Easy Club in Edinburgh. [Edinburgh: Andrew Hart ?, 1713]. First edition, 4to, 8pp., disbound, cloth folder Note: Very rare. Only two other copies known: Edinburgh Public Library and National Library of Scotland. The Easy Club was a group of young men interested in literature who had formed themselves in May 1712 into a Club on the model of the Spectator Club described by Addison and Steele. They adopted pseudoynyms, and Allan Ramsay, who was one of the founding members, took as his club name Isaac Bickerstaff. Ramsay, then aged about 28, was a wig-maker in Edinburgh. The Journal of the Easy Club tells us that on Thursday 5 November 1713 “it was unanimously resolv’d.. by each that none of this club shall have English but Scots patrons... and that member formerly nam’d Isaac Bickerstaff did chose (sic) Gavin Douglas sometime Bishop of Dunkeld, and a famous old Scots poet for which he is chose by that member” and that “Gavin Douglas was chosen Praeses who after he had taken the chair presented a poem composed by himself to the memory of Dr. Archd. Pitcairn... the poem and dedication being read it was unanimously approven and the author’s compliment received for which he had the thanks of the Club - after which it was resolved the said poem should be printed at the charge of the members the author included (at his own desire).” [Freeman & Law, The Bibliotheck 9, 1978-79, pp.153-160; ESTC T197008 ] £400-600

292 Scott, Sir Walter Autograph Letter Signed, to Lady Jane Stuart: “My dear Lady Jane. I send this by William Forbes who has been on a visit a few days here with the Skenes... I sent on by a servant that was leaving me a little bunch of asparagus to show how good my garden is and a few lines of a letter. Its miscarriage is not of the least consequence except that it has left me a sufferer in your good chances for want of kindness and affection.... We have very much severe weather here. I hope it is now relenting for the sake of the poor lambs which will be appearing on our hills by thousands in a few days & a great advantage it is when the mothers have a little fresh grass to eat”, referring to the weather, “I wade through the snow and never am the worst of it”, and the health of his son and daughter 2 pages, integral address panel, Abbotsford 6 April 1829 Note: Lady Jane Stuart [formerly Lady Jane Belsches], daughter of the Earl of Leven and Melville, and the mother of Scott’s first love, Williamina Belsches, who married Sir William Forbes. Curiously, Scott appears to have addresssed the letter to Right Hon. Lady Jane Leven, 12 Melville Street, before correcting this to “Lady Jane Stuart, 12 Maitland Street”. In another hand are the words “Addio, Italian for Adieu”, possibly a reference to the fact this was Scott’s last letter to Lady Jane who died later the same year. £250-350

The twopenny baskets of the Caledonian Market are full of these superdamned things” “No, by - well, by the strongest oath in the Fleet. I have never signed an edition for sale even when the charity began at home”. Of Capt. H. Cotton Minchin, in whose hands the compilation is placed, he writes “Court-martial him. He deserves it”. Commenting on The Prince of Wales’s belief that the work will be “a most valuable contribution to the art of the Country and a possesion of incalculable worth to the purchasers”, Shaw responds “If he believes that, he would believe anything”, 2 pages, [c. 27 March 1928] £200-300 307 Sibbald, Sir Robert Scotia illustrata sive prodromus historiae naturalis...

Rankin was father to Ann, page 222, a most entertaining companion” supplied in ink in a contemporary hand. The Song on page 22, to the “Tune, Corn rigs are bonie” begins: “It was upon a Lammas night, When corn rigs are bonie, Beneath the moon’s unclouded light, I held awa to Annie:” John Rankine (d. 1810) was a tenant-farmer in Adamhill, Tarbolton, and a close friend of Burns during his time at Lochlie. Rankine’s sister Margaret was the first wife of John Lapraik about whom Burns also composed an Epistle. Rankine was one of the first to find out that Burns had impregnated Elizabeth Paton, and teased him relentlessly about it. In response Burns composed this Epistle, which draws heavily on the image of a hunter ensnaring its prey, while the ‘Poacher Court’, (the Kirk Session) tries to exact its revenge after the affair comes to their attention. Despite Hugh Blair’s critical comments Burns retained it in the Edinburgh edition. The leaves have been examined under a light box and compared with those of another copy of the first edition. £600-800

488 Haggard, H. Rider Fine portrait photograph by Ernest Walter Histed, signed by the photographer and signed and dated “H. Rider Haggard, 1901”, 49 x 38.5cm., framed and glazed; Haggard, H. Rider Retained typed letter signed to the editor of the Spectator, responding to The Spectator’s article of 3rd December on his latest novel “Dr. Therne”, one page, with autograph corrections and alterations, one leaf, Ditchingham House, Norfolk, 5 December 1898, cut round at top (2) Note: This large photographic portrait of Rider Haggard is particularly fine and taken of him at the height of his powers. The letter deals with the subject of his novel, Dr. Therne (1898), probably his most controversial novel which deals with the subject of vaccination, the effectiveness of which was at the time hotly disputed. In the letter Rider Haggard strongly defends the use of fiction to deal with the subject, “Why should this method be condemned as improper ? The writer may fail in his ends; his plot may be bad, his realization of it feeble; these are different questions. But why - to take a single example - should the gates of fiction be open, as they are, to anyone who wishes to preach a particular form of spiritual faith, or unfaith, & shut to the man who desires to the best of his poor ability to protest against the handing over of the bodies of children to the risk of disease & death ?...” £800-1,000 489* Hollyer, Frederick Five platinum prints, subjects comprise ‘Found drowned’, ‘Aspirations’, ‘Good luck to your fishing’, ‘Ida on Mount Olympus’ and ‘Love crowning innocence’, each approximately 30 by 24cm, each with photographer’s blindstamp in the image, one with photographer’s wetstamp on the reverse, each titled in pencil on the reverse (5) £150-250 490 Italy - Macpherson, Robert - photographs Temple of Vespasian and Arch of Septimus Severus, very large albumen print.

STANDARD TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE Lyon & Turnbull carries on business with bidders, buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to, or in connection, with a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein. 1. DEFINITIONS In these Conditions: (a) “Auctioneer” means the firm of Lyon & Turnbull or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; (b) “deliberate forgery” means an imitation made with the intention of deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source but which is unequivocally described in the catalogue as being the work of a particular creator and which, at the date of the sale, had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description; (c) “hammer price” means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the auctioneer brings down the hammer; (d) “terms of consignment” means the stipulated terms and rates of commission on which Lyon & Turnbull accepts instructions from sellers or their agents; (e) “total amount due” means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting buyer under these Conditions; (f) “sale proceeds” means the net amount due to the seller, being the hammer price of the lot sold less commission at the stated rate, Value Added Tax chargeable and any other amounts due to us by the seller in whatever capacity and however arising;

Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with an asterisk (*) or dagger (†). Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by buyers of relevant lots. 6. PAYMENT (1) Immediately a lot is sold you will: (a) pay to us the total amount due in cash or in such other way as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), Switch or Debit Cards and Visa or MasterCard (please note there is a surcharge of 2% (VAT included) when using credit cards). We do not accept American Express. (2) any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without regard to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied. 7. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due. (2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than four working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage and other associated charges. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main saleroom and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time.

(2) We shall, as agent for the seller and on their behalf pursue these rights and remedies only as far as is reasonable to make appropriate recovery in respect of breach of these Conditions 9. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security arrangements. Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale. 10. COMMISSION BIDS While prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer or our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. 11. WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY The seller warrants to the auctioneer and to you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 12. AGENCY

inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents or the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”. (2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 16. FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition.

The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.

The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

(g) “You”, “Your”, etc. refer to the buyer as identified in Condition 2.

(b) If withdrawn within 28 working days of the sale, this will be charged at 20% of the mid estimate along with any ancilliary incurred (such as photography), all subject to VAT at the current rate. 15. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) While we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that,

18 (1) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.

Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, paintings, guns, firearms etc) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary or guidance notes appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 21. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 22. Scottish law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
