The fine engravings of fossils contained in the first work are by James Sowerby (1757-1822). The work is a highly original presentation of Smith’s discovery of the correlation of particular groups of fossil types with different geological strata, with each fossil group printed on a differently coloured paper, intended to match the shade of the respective geological stratum depicted. Smith originally intended to publish the work in seven parts, but only four were published. Challinor 79; Dibner Heralds 94; Eyles 14; Ward & Carozzi 2074; Norman 1959. The second work includes more detailed descriptions of the fossils found in different geological strata in England, based on Smith’s own fossil collection, which he sold to the British Museum a year earlier. A second part, advertised on the contents page was never published. Both of these works were published in very small pressruns and are very rare. Eyles 15; Ward & Carozzi 2075; Norman 1960.

The American siege of the city was led by Benedict Arnold and General Richard Montgomery. Quebec proved a very hard nut to crack and resulted in Montgomery’s death and Arnold being severely injured. The city was defended by an alliance of British troops and Canadian militia and was one of the first significant defeats for the American continental army in the American Revoltionary war. The Americans suffered heavy casualties both through the fighting and from the appalling Canadian winter and had over four hundred man captured. They eventually abandoned the seige in May 1776 when the arrival of fresh British troops forced the Americans to retreat. Ashley Baynton-Williams. British Broadsheet Maps and Battle Plans.

A group of approx. 100 documents, a few 18th but mostly 19th c., the majority vellum indentures including leases, mortgages, releases, conveyances, settlements, assignments, etc., relating to various properties and families in Wiltshire, mostly folding with orig. seals where required

A rare and extensive archive. Several of the manuscript numbers follow the name of R.J. Cust (1828-1913), Chief Commissioner of the West Indies Incumbered Estates between 1887 and 1892.

The West Indian Incumbered Estate Acts allowed the sale of mortgaged estates whose worth was less than the capital which was secured on the land. Estates, often sugar plantations, had been of great value at the beginning of the nineteenth century but the abolition of slavery meant that the compulsory labour of the slaves was no longer available to the plantation owners. Estates which had been mortgaged suddenly dropped into negative equity. As income from these estates plummeted owners lost interest and receivers attempted to salvage something from the plantations. In 1854 legislation was passed, very much on the lines of that developed for the Irish encumbered estates after the great famine, to enable the Commissioners to offer good, unencumbered title to these estates.

In 1854, in St. Vincent alone, of the 87 sugar estates on the island 64 were then being run by lawyers.These documents are the original prospectuses for the sales ordered by the Commissioners.

It was originally envisaged that the larger estates would be sold in London and that the smaller would find a better market locally, but in the end all came to be sold in London. An equitable distribution was made to creditors from the proceeds of the sales and the fresh title allowed it to pass either to those with capital to work it or those prepared to sell in subdivided lots. It was the sale of these estates that first allowed land to pass into the hands of black landowners and was the catalyst for most of the development of the West Indies. (a carton) ÂŁ10000-15000

Gomersall’s rare first novel. Although little is known about Ann Gomersall (1750-1835), her work gained much critical praise during its time. Both the ‘Critical’ and ‘Monthly Review’ praised ‘Eleonora’ for its simple plot, moral lessons, and Yorkshire humour. The novel was also commended for its perceptive rendering of class distinctions and relationships, particularly that between working class and employer. More recently her novels have been described as “superior to those of most other female writers of the period” (Janet Todd, ‘A Dictionary of British and American Women Writers’, 1660-1800, London, 1987, p.137).

Dunne also developed theories on consciousness, dreams and the concept of time, resulting in his landmark work “An Experiment with Time” (1927), much influencing J.B. Priestly, J.R.R.

THE PAUL ASHBEE ARCHAEOLOGICAL LIBRARY

Paul Ashbee, archaeologist and author (1918-2009)

Paul Ashbee was perhaps the most talented and certainly the most prolific postwar archaeologist concerned with the excavation of prehistoric British burial mounds. His record in this often physically exhausting field of research was extraordinary, not least because most of it was done in his holidays.

Working in seven counties, from Yorkshire and Suffolk to Cornwall, from 1949 to 1961 he excavated 30 barrows and cairns, including two long barrows and 13 flat graves (cists).

He played a significant role in exposing the remarkable 100ft-deep ritual shaft at Wilsford, near Stonehenge; in addition he worked extensively on two important settlement sites in the South West.

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.

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.

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 17.5% 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 17.5% 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 for which insurance the Auctioneer will charge a premium of £1.50 per £100. 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.
