London: Proprietors of “Harper’s Weekly Gazette”, 1887. Large 8vo, half title, frontispiece, double-page map, 36 pages of adverts at rear, original green pictorial cloth gilt, hinges neatly repaired, foxing to half title, slight offsetting to title Note: The whisky distilleries of the United Kingdom was the first, and the most important, study dedicated to whisky. As secretary to Harper’s Weekly Gazette, Barnard visited every working distillery in Great Britain and Ireland in the years 1885 to 1887. In all, he visited a mammoth 162 sites - 129 in Scotland, 29 in Ireland and 4 in England. At the time of his trip the whisky market was adapting to the introduction of blended varieties, a move that saw Scotland achieve dominance over the previous powerful Irish market. The more palatable blended whiskies allowed the market to expand, helped further by the reduction in brandy production due to a fungal blight.

Many of the distilleries visited and recorded by Barnard have since ceased production and in some cases vanished altogether, making the information recorded in his 1887 publication even more important. This volume has been reproduced several times since its publication; of the original publication only a few copies survive, the majority bound in green cloth. Four copies are recorded in UK libraries and another in Trinity College, Dublin - no copy appears in the British Library catalogue. There are also no records of the first edition appearing at auction since the mid-1970’s [ according to ABPC]. £4,000-5,000 40

David Brewster (1781-1868), Scottish physicist who investigated the polarization of light, discovering the law named after him for which he was awarded the Rumford Medal by the Royal Society in 1819. Born in Jedburgh, his education was extended by his friendship with James Veitch of Jedburgh, an amateur astronomer, and he entered the Univeristy of Edinburgh at the age of 14. One of Brewster’s major concerns was increasing the public awareness of the importance of science. He edited a number of scientific periodicals and wrote many books and articles on science. He was also instrumental in the foundation of several academic organizations including the Edinburgh School of Arts in 1821, the Royal Scottish Society for Arts in 1821, and the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1831.

With James Veitch, Brewster built many optical devices such as microscopies and sundials, developing an expertise that resulted in the

Rare Books, Manuscripts, Maps and Photographs Wednesday 16th September 2009 invention of the kaleidoscope in 1816. In trying to improve lenses for microscopes, he became interested in optics and particularly in the polarization for light that transverses it. Brewster then sought an expression for the polarization of light by reflection and found, in 1815, that the polarization of a beam of reflected light is greatest when the reflected and refracted rays are at right angles to each other. This is known as Brewster’s Law, and it may be stated in the form that the tangent of the angle of polarization is numerically equal to the refractive index of the reflecting medium when polarization is maximum.

Brewster then worked on the polarization of light reflected by metals, and established the new field of optical mineralogy. During the 1820s he studied colour in the optical spectrum and worked on absorption spectroscopy of natural substances.

James Veitch (1771-1838) was a self-educated polymath, who while earning his living as a ploughwright, also found the time to dabble in mathematics, mechanics and astronomy. He set up a scientific workshop on the Jedburgh turnpike where he gave lessons to local educated men in these subjects. By the late 1820s he had stopped making ploughs and devoted his time to making telescopes and clocks.

His customers for telescopes included Brewster, Sir Walter Scott, the Earl of Hopetoun, the Earl of Minto, and Professor Schumacher of the Altona Observatory in Germany.

Veitch’s early encouragement inspired David Brewster to take an interest in scientific matters and, as this correspondence shows, the friendship lasted more than 35 years [the last three letters are undated]. With Veitch’s help, Brewster had made his first telescope by the age of ten. Veitch was known to major public figures such as Walter Scott and Francis Jeffrey, editor the Edinburgh Review and, amongst others, Mary Somerville, also a native of Jedburgh, the first woman to have a work published in the the Royal Society of London’s Philosophical Transactions.
