spend”. On a visit to “The Book Lover” bookshop he meets the wife of the influential socialist Henry Hyde Champion (1859-1928) and is invited to meet Hyde at his house where he tells Lucas about the Trafalgar Day riots and his subsequent prison sentence. Lucas also visits the Melbourne Federal Houses of Parliament and sees Billy Hughes (1862-1952) speak, and describes visits to many Melbourne suburbs including St Kilda, Mornington, the tents at Mordialloc, Spotswood Glass Works, etc. In Sydney he takes several boat tours and visits the spot where Lady Fitzroy (wife of Governor Sir Charles Fitzroy) was killed - “while I was looking at the monument a young man came up, he was the son of a farmer and...told me his father said Sir Charles Fitzroy was driving the carriage and he was mad drunk at the time...Sir Charles carried on with the landlord’s daughter while his wife was laying there [dying] and it became such a scandal that the landlord kicked him into the street soon after”. Lucas is also told an interesting story about Sir John Henniker Heaton (1848-1914) who had once worked for the teller’s grandfather in very straightened circumstances. He also observes “surf bathing” at Bondi and Manly beaches and while visiting La Perouse’s memorial enters a nearby aborigine reservation “got talking to one of the men who had a boomerang in his hand, he said he would teach me how to throw it...it rose in the air to about 30 feet and made two complete circles...”. Lucas is very sociable and strikes up converstaions and friendships with many people he meets. He observes the fashion in Sydney for gold dental fillings and starts to incorporate Australian slang in his own journal including swagman, backblocker, mate, cornstalk, etc. A man at Coogee Bay tells him “Australia was the land for the working classes...the men talk to the bosses not the other way about as in the old country”. He spends Christmas week in the Blue Mountains and enjoys trips organised by butcher Nick Delaney of Blackheath who tells him “one Christmas he sat down to dinner with 25 blacks in Western Australia and there was not another white man within a hundred miles”. Upon arriving in Auckland he observes that the Maori women “after 30 get very fat and tubby, the girls dress in the height of fashion that was in vogue 10 years ago”. He spends some time among the hot geysers and springs at Rotorua and Whakarewarewa and is shown around by Maori guides, describing the Kaka and many Maori people and customs. At Wellington he befriends Mr L.H. Fox, the House Steward of Wellington Hospital, and enjoys many evenings with him playing cribbage. While in Wellington he tours the huge Gear Meat Co. and provides a long description of the industrial process of slaughtering sheep. He finally travels home on the SS Turakina, via Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro, interestingly meeting a Mr Maloney on board who was returning to County Sligo after 37 years in Australia and who knew Ned Kelly and provides a description of Kelly’s capture.

He was satirized by Samuel Butler in his ‘Character of a Hermetic Philosopher’, and is said to have suggested some aspects of Ralpho in ‘Hudibras’. Swift, in ‘A Tale of a Tub’, described Vaughan as a writer of the greatest gibberish “ever published in any language”. ‘A Hermeticall Banquet’, first published in 1650, is a curious mixture of alchemy, nutrition and cooking with some of Vaughan’s verse interspersed for good measure.

SELECTED BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY OF RAYNER UNWIN (1925-2000)

Sir Stanley Unwin (1884-1968) founded the publishing firm of George Allen & Unwin Ltd on 4th August 1914, the day the First World War was declared. In spite of this inauspicious start Sir Stanley built up one of the most successful and esteemed British publishing businesses of the twentieth century. Staunchly opposed to censorship he was unafraid of courting controversy to support the free flow of ideas, publishing most notably a steady stream of works on all subjects by the philosopher and co-pacifist Bertrand Russell. While publishing some literature and translated classics the emphasis was on serious works of scholarship. In 1951 Sir Stanley’s son Rayner, a promising author in his own right, joined the family firm at a slary of £35 per week. One of his earliest successes was bringing Tolkien’s epic Lord of the Rings into print. ‘He negotiated, cajoled, and even nurtured the man he came to see as ‘his’ author’. When Sir Stanley died in 1968 Rayner took charge and inherited a backlist that ran to 2500 titles. Sadly, a mix of inflation, changing technology and internal difficulties brought the firm’s demise, with Rayner overseeing a regretful eventual sale of the business to HarperCollins in 1990. The books here are Rayner’s personal copies, some of them having been his father’s before him, notably the Bertrand Russell books, most of which have S.U. pencilled inside. The named books in each lot come with a personalized note of provenance from Rayner’s son Merlin Unwin, who continues as a third generation Unwin publisher.

My grandfather, the publisher Sir Stanley Unwin, used his own offspring as readers for unsolicited manuscripts for children’s books. For their hand-written, one-page reports he would pay them a shilling. My father, Rayner Unwin, therefore wrote many reports as a young boy – it was a useful source of pocket money – and by far the best-known book which he recommended to his father was The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien (see his report attached, written at the age of ten). In time, my father headed up the family publishing firm of George Allen & Unwin. He was Tolkien’s editor and they were close friends. He subsequently published The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and many other books by that great man. The books in this sale are from my father’s personal collection which he kept within arm’s reach of his reading chair at Limes Cottage, Little Missenden, Buckinghamshire – a place which, over the years, many authors visited, from Tolkien to Roald Dahl, and Bertrand Russell to Thor Heyerdahl. After Rayner’s death in 2000 the books in his collection were kept together by his widow, Carol, until her own death last year. They have many associations for me and my sisters for they remind us of the many fine writers who visited our childhood home – often at weekends for editorial sessions over tea and cake.

‘Later successes from Unwin’s firm included The Kon-Tiki Expedition by Thor Heyerdahl (1950), acquired in Oslo by his nephew Philip. It was the firm’s first blockbuster, enabling it ‘to change into an altogether higher key of success and prosperity’ (P. Unwin, The Publishing Unwins, p. 146) and to offer a pension scheme for its employees for the first time. In this period Unwin travelled widely on business—to New Zealand by way of the USA, Canada, India, and the Middle East—and in 1954 completed fifty years in the book trade. He sold the Bodley Head in 1957 and, as formerly, he continued his interest in the activities of the Publishers’ Association and the International Publishers’ Association as well as the British Council’ (DNB entry for Stanley Unwin).

When it was decided to have a portrait of Stanley Unwin painted, he left the arrangements to his son Rayner who wrote that ‘we were determined not to have the sort of dull likeness that one could see in so many boardrooms’. The Austrian Oskar Kokoschka was the artist eventually chosen. In spite of the meeting of two strong personalities, artist and sitter got along splendidly with Kokoschka painting while Sir Stanley went about his daily office routines. So happy was Unwin with the finished artwork that he used the image on the dust jacket of his own autobiography The Truth about a Publisher (1960).The second letter offered here relates to the proofs for the dust jacket and highlights Kokoschka’s understandable concern about his all important colours.

Earl Russell contributed to Sir Stanley Unwin LL.D: Tributes from some of his Friends, January 1954. He wrote: ‘My relations with Sir Stanley Unwin have now extended over more than thirty-seven years, and throughout that time have been everything that an author could wish in dealings with a publisher. My first contact with him was in the year 1916 at a moment when my unpopularity was extreme and professors of philosophy were writing to The Times to say I ought to be in gaol. My previous books had been technical and academic, and I had no reputation as a possibly popular writer. It was at this moment that I took to him the MS. of Principles of Social Reconstruction. In spite of my being unpopular and untried as an author of that sort of book, he at once accepted it and skilfully promoted its success... I have never ceased to be grateful to him for his courage and friendliness in regard to this book. Everything in our subsequent relations has deepened this feeling. Sir Stanley has the rare merit of being able to percieve excellence in MSS. independently of the opinions they contain. I have myself subjected his broad-minded liberalism to a somewhat severe strain on some occasions when I have had things to say that I knew he must dislike’ (pp. 38-39).

Tolkien’s award-winning fantasy novel was published on 21 September 1937, 1500 copies were printed and sold out by 15 December. Originally conceived in the late 1920’s-early 1930’s to entertain his three sons, Tolkien recalled in a letter to W.H. Auden in 1955: ‘All I can remember about the start of The Hobbit is sitting correcting School Certificate papers in the everlasting weariness of that annual task forced on impecunious academics with children. On a blank leaf I scrawled: “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.” I did not and do not know why. I did nothing about it, for a long time, and for some years I got no further than the production of Thror’s Map. But it became The Hobbit in the early 1930’s...’. The book has gone on to sell an estimated 100 million copies worldwide since first publication and has never been out of print. Hammond A3. Believing that the best judge of children's literature were children themselves it was the habit of Sir Stanley to pay the young Rayner a shilling (five pence) for each reader's report. Teh ten-year-old Rayner was given the manuscript of The Hobbit by his father in 1936 and for which he wrote this positive report, the original of which is held at the University of Reading: "Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit who lied in a hobbit-hole and never went for adventures, at last Gandalf the wizard and his dwarves perswaded him to go. He had a very exciting time fighting goblins and wrags, at alst they got to the lonley mountain; Smaug, the dragon who gareds it is killed and after a terrific battle with the goblins he returned home - rich! This book, with the help of maps, does not need any illustrations it is good and should appeal to all children between the ages of 5 and 9." Sir Stanley duly went ahead and published the book in autumn of 1937. In honour of his services to Tolkien publishing the Tolkien Society presented Rayner with a 1936 King George V one shilling piece at the Tolkien centenary celebrations Oxford in 1992. The shilling is offered here with this lot. It is suspended in perspex set in a small wooden desk frame (13 x 15 x 6 cm) with a gilt plaque from the Tolkien Society front and back. Sadly, this is not the original shilling, Rayner admitting on receipt of this gift that the original had long since been spent on sweets.

512 Tolkien (J.R.R.). The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, 1954; The Two Towers, 1954; The Return of the King, 1955, 1st eds., 1st impressions, folding map at end of each, top edges stained red, original red cloth (one or two light stains), d.j.s, Fellowship spine toned, slipcase, 8vo Each volume signed by the author to front endpaper. Hammond A5. Wayne Hammond’s Tolkien bibliography initially stated that the first state of Return of the King had signature ‘4’ and all line of type ‘sag’ in the middle on page 49. He now agrees that the first state contains no signature and straight lines of text, as per the present copy. A copy of the eight-page pamphlet 'The Making of The Lord of the Rings' by Rayner Unwin (Oxford: William A. Meeuws), 1992 (Copy B) is presented with this lot. This personal account of the agonies for author and publisher in bringing Tolkien's revered masterpiece into print is an astonishing story of an author-publisher relationship in the traditional sense. So easily the book may never have been published were it not for Rayner's belief in Tolkien's self-confessed 'monster'. When the project eventually moved forward into costings Rayner wrote to his father, then travelling on business in Japan, that based on dividing the book into three it would still lose money. 'His reply was a model of what is now called hands-off management. If, he wrote, you beleive it is a work of genius, then you may lose a thousand pounds.' Even then it was nearly two years of headaches before the first volume ran off the press. Tolkien was uncomfortable with the ambiguities of The Two Towers as a title to the second part and it was Rayner who chose the title of the third and final part, winning over Tolkien who preferred The War of the Ring, so as not give away so much of the plot! Then there was the difficulty of the maps, the printers and their proof-reading corrections for Tolkien's deliberate quirky spelling, plus the appendices, the dust jacket designs and so forth. 'And so the tortuous saga drew to a close. A last six-page letter of minute queries in the final proofs, a response with additional queries from the printer which reached Tolkien in Assisi (a rapid excursion from Gondor as he called it), and then silence while the book was being printed. Publication was fixed for 20th October 1955 and with it The Lord of the Rings was completed. It seemd an awful anti-climax. I had gone abroad, so Tolkien wrote to my cousin Philip and said Hurray. The rest is history.' (3)

Conditions of Sale and Business 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.

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.

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.

3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.

9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.

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.

11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions.

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.

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.

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.

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.
