The Darien scheme was Scotland’s attempt to establish a trading centre in South America, but the spectaculer if ultimately hubristic scheme proved to be a strategic and economic disaster. The massive debts, raised through public subscription, accounted for almost a fifth of Scoland’s total wealth and the failure of the enterprise resulted in the crippling of the entire Scottish economy and the national endebtedness that resulted, eventually led to the dissolution of the Scottish Parliament and the 1707 Act of Union with England.

All that is generally remembered about Spencer Perceval is that he was the only British Prime Minister ever to be assassinated. He was shot by John Bellingham; a businessman, who in 1804 had been falsely imprisoned for debt in Russia. The British embassy would not help him and when he was released in 1809 he returned to England seeking compensation from the British government, which kept turning him down. His sense of grievance mounted to the point where he decided to kill the prime minister. The author of the broadside obviously was sympathetic to Bellingham’s cause as the text is excoriating in its description of Perceval. Bellingham was found guilty and hanged two days after Perceval’s funeral. (1) £100-150

For the Bite of a Mad Dog, printed by Boden, Stafford, [1789], drop-title, one page, folio (310 x 190mm) The introductory paragraph states the background and aims of this broadside: ‘The following proposals for the prevention of this very alarming disease, originated with Dr [John] Haygarth [1740-1827], of Chester, in consequence of three men near Wrexham, in North Wales, having died of Canine Madness, in October and November, 1788. The proposals were first dispersed by hand-bills in Cheshire, North Wales, &c and from thence copied into many of the Newspapers. They have also been often re-printed and dispersed by several worthy characters, in other parts; but it appears they are not yet sufficiently known, for two patients have lately died of this disease, one in Birmingham, and one at Tettenhall, near Wolverhampton. As the method here advised has met with the approbation of many eminent Physicians, it ought to be made known as generally and as speedily as possible.’ The following two paragraphs of text then give Dr Haygarth’s methods of preventing infection following a bite by a mad dog, involving washing, cupping and syringing. The final italicised paragraph gives a summary of the treatment. Rare; no other copy traced. (1) £500-800

It was copied from the original in the Royal Society and contains information which was omitted in later published versions, including those by John Britton & Canon John Edward Jackson. The letter addressed to Sir Thomas Phillips from William George Maton reads, “Sir, Having, at present, in my possession Aubrey’s MS. History of Wiltshire (from the Library of the Royal Society), I have been made acquainted by Mr. Hudson, the Librarian, with the request contain’d in a letter from you to him, respecting a leaf which has been found wanting in the volume, and I have undertaken to communicate to you, myself the particulars necessary to guide you in your search for the detach’d part of the MS. The leaf missing is that of pages 67 and 68. The last line of page 66 is as follows... ‘bridge the Isle of Ely and other places, provided by nature to the’, the first line of page 69 is ‘for a plain reason and therefore a dearth succeeds the yeare following’.

GENEALOGICAL CHRONICLE ROLL

312* Genealogical chronicle roll. An important roll chronicle and genealogy of the Kings of England, circa 1500, in Latin, decorated manuscript on vellum, being a copy of the Roger of St. Albans genealogy, the diagrammatic history beginning with legendary British kings Hely and Cassibellan, running through Anglo-Saxon and later English kings and continuing to the period of Richard II (died 1400) but including as one of the last ‘children’ roundels King Richard III 'Ricardus Rex Angl.' [King of England from 1483 to 1485], the kings presented in a central column of roundels, surmounted by crowns, connected by branches, with columns of roundels for Popes and Emperors running down the far left and far right sides of the roll; within these columns, to the left, and running alongside the main lineage of British and English kings, showing descent from Noah's son Japheth, giving rise to the roundels for Frea and Woden, and to their offspring, while to the right a column of Welsh princes and ending with King Egbert of Wessex (9th century); a row of connected roundels naming the seven kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England marks the end of the dominion of legendary British kings, and to the left of the main line of kings a line of Norman dukes, from Rollo, ultimately leading to the roundel for William the Conqueror (appearing in the central column of the genealogy, as one of England's kings); text in brown ink with some rubrication and partly in italics, the roundels in brown, with branches in red, green and greybrown, the crowns in gold, written in two (or more) hands (including one or two hands very late 15th century and one early 16th century in similar style), twelve membranes (lacking final membrane(s), originally ending with Henry VI and probably Edward IV), membrane 10 displaying the crest (bull’s head) of Sir Thomas Wriothesley, Garter King of Arms, 1505-1534, to the right of the roundel for King Henry III, some soiling and a few brown stains not affecting legibility, occasional short closed tears to edges, overall 691 x 30.4 cm (22' 8.5" x 12") A copy of the so-called Roger of St. Albans genealogy, which takes its name from a friar living in London in the 1450s, and to whom authorship of the original genealogy is attributed. At least thirteen other copies survive making the Roger of St. Albans genealogies one of the most popular types of royal genealogical rolls produced in late medieval England. They were produced and disseminated in the reign of King Henry VI, during the Wars of the Roses, when they served as Lancastrian propaganda while also providing a record of (and aide-memoire for) England's early history. It would appear that the exemplar for this roll was largely BL MS Add. 63009 (c. 1453-1461) to which it is closely related. Both rolls are the only ones to begin with Lud, the Additional MS doing so imperfectly, while the lack of connecting lines from the top roundels in this roll suggest that this roll begins correctly. The Additional MS has a very similar layout and design (of its tree diagram), using branches, as here, instead of straight lines, as in many other copies. The Additional MS also has large gold crowns drawn atop the roundels for the Kings of Britain/England who feature in the central column of the genealogy (not all rolls extant have these crowns). The bull’s head crest that features in this roll also appears in the Additional MS in the same colours, but that roll also ends with a large coat of arms of Sir Thomas Wriothesley and a second drawing of a bull’s head. That the Additional MS may not have been the exemplar but possibly one of two exemplars of the same type used over a long period of time is suggested by important differences. There are some different spellings of kings’ names between the two rolls and the roundels for Anglo-Saxon kings have ‘petals’, which are not shown in the roll here. The Additional MS originally extended up to King Henry VI (died 1471) but was continued in a later hand to King Edward IV (died 1483), and it seems likely that this roll would have continued to Edward IV too, possibly on the thirteenth membrane. The roll offered here shows at the foot a line that is about to connect to the roundel for Richard II. This links up to the roundel higher up for Edward, Prince of Wales (the Black Prince, eldest son of King Edward III and Richard II’s father). The truncated line from John of Gaunt (father of King Henry IV) is also seen extending to the lower margin. The latter sections of the roll include the noble families of Percy & Bowcher (characteristic of Roger of St Albans genealogies) and suggest that these families were among those who first commissioned the genealogy. Of further interest and possibly unique to the roll offered here is the titling of the ‘children’ roundel for King Richard III. In other Roger of St Albans rolls extant he is written as ‘Ricardus’ (as Additional MS) or as ‘Ricardus Dux Gous’ (i.e. Duke of Gloucester). This roll cannot have been finished until the end of the Wars of the Roses, making it unique and the latest copy of a Roger of St Albans genealogy so far known. This in itself provides important evidence to show that medieval genealogical rolls such as these continued to be copied and read long after the period in which they were written.

323 Scot (Sir John, of Scotstarvit, 1585-1670). The Staggering State of the Scottish Statesmen, viz Chancellours, Secretarys, Thesaurers and their Deputts, Kings Advocates, Justice-Clerks, Clerks of Registers, Privy-Seall, Comptrollers, and Admiralls for 100 Years, viz from 1550 to the Year 1650, Collected by Scott of Scotstarvet, late 17thcentury manuscript copy, title-page and 152 numbered pages, written in a good clear hand, some minor spotting and dust-soiling, ownership inscription ‘E Libris Gers:Mi Carmichaell, 1717’ to front free endpaper, contemporary vellum, soiling and wear, lacks ties, small 4to (140 x 176mm) Described by Thomas Carlyle as “a strange little book, not a satire but a Homily on Life’s nothingness enforced by examples”, Scot’s “The Staggering State of Scottish Statesmen” was written after the English conquest, following his removal from the positions of Directory of Chancery and Lord of Session in 1652. Deprivation from office led Scot to reflect on the instability of success, and “The Staggering State” describes the rise and fall of leading Scottish officials in the preceding century, Scot’s theme being that men rose, staggered, and ultimately fell. He naturally included himself as an example of this process, describing himself as a “doer of great services to the king and countrey, yet by the power and malice of his unfriends has been at last put out of the same places in his old age”. In spite of his best efforts, and the compilation of his long “Trew Relation”, in which he selectively recorded his services to the crown, ignoring the years in which he had been a covenanter, he was not restored to office. “The Staggering State of the Scottish Statesmen” was not published until a hundred years after Scot’s death (Edinburgh, 1754), so can only have been a private solace to himself and a few friends for whom manuscript copies were made. A more honourable resource was the public spirit which led him to devote the most of his time and a large part of his fortune to the advancement of learning... The tower of Scotstarvet became a kind of college, where he attracted round him the learned Scotsmen of the time, and corresponded with the scholars of Holland, Caspar Barlaeus, Isaac Gruterus, and others” (Dictionary of National Biography). He also endowed the Scotstarvit chair and library of Humanity at St Andrews. Gershom Carmichael (1672-1729) was a teacher and writer of pivotal importance for the Scottish Enlightenment of the eighteenth century. He was the first Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Glasgow, predecessor of Francis Hutcheson, Adam Smith and Thomas Reid. Carmichael introduced the natural law tradition of Grotius, Pufendorf and Locke to the moral philosophy courses he taught at the University of Glasgow (1694-1729). His commentaries on Samuel Pufendorf’s work on the duty of man and citizen (1718 and 1724) made his teaching available to a wider readership in Great Britain and in Europe. He also composed an introduction to logic, Breviuscula Introducto ad Logicam, (1720 and 1722) and a brief system of natural theology, Synopsis Theologiae Naturalis (1729) (Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Index (1998), p. 206).

And just yesterday I had a reply from the first among them, dated the last of the past month... as regards the promise of the representatives of the Four Towns... I have considered closely what you have told me about it, which I shall use when I have need. The [Papal] Nuncio, resident at Lucerne, ‘writes that the Duke of Feria’ [Gómez Suárez de Figueroa, 1587-1634, 3rd Duke; at this time Governor of the Duchy of Milan] promises ‘not to put pressure on the representatives of Venice until a response has come from a courier sent into Spain. And that new expedients have been begun to bring this affair to an end... ‘, the later letter saying he is writing ‘to the Burgomasters about my desire to confer with someone from their Council, if you wish to be of the party I will willingly talk with you about what happens therein... ‘ and asking that Lionello writes ‘particularly about the state of this business between the Representatives from Venice and the Governor of Milan... above all if they have agreed between themselves to delay things and if they have sent someone to Spain’, both one page with integral address leaf and papered seal with Montholon’s arms, the first slightly dust-soiled and frayed at outer and lower margins without loss of text, small adhesion mark to blank area of final page, both folio

324* Swiss Counter-Reformation. Manuscript Certificate of Instructions, by the Cantons of Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden and Zug, no place, 10th April 1565, in Latin on paper (with transcription and translation) saying that this League of the Five Cantons has appointed Melchior Lussi (1529-1601, Statesman of the Swiss Counter-Reformation), as their envoy plenipotentiary to Pius IV (1499-1565; Pope from 1559), to ratify their Treaty of Friendship and Union with him, ‘and to which the Supreme Pontiff wishes to adhere in every way’, saying that ‘We, the Mayor [Schultheiss], High Bailiff [Ammann], Senate, Citizens and Compatriots of [each of] the Five Old Catholic Cantons... and especially our excellent forebears, have always shown ourselves obedient sons and members of the... Roman Church and the Apostolic See, they even putting their lives in danger and shedding their blood, whence they have been called the Defenders of Liberty of the Church’, &c., two pages with integral docketed blank dated at Bellinzona, 4th May 1565, with scribal address, apparently on behalf of Lussi, ‘to my honoured friend Cavaglier Sebastiano Ruscha [Rusca] at Venice’, papered seal with acid burns and cracks not affecting text, folio In 1524 the Five Cantons formed the present League. Melchior Lussi took up a military career, commanding the Swiss mercenaries fighting on behalf of the Pope in central Italy in 1557, and on 1st July 1560 signed an agreement with Venice to provide a Regiment of 12 troops. In that same year Lussi appealed to Pius IV to reconvene the Council of Trent. After some delay, the Five Cantons, (later joined by Fribourg and Soleure), chose his as their lay representative, one of a handful of Swiss delegates. The cantons received the decrees with some circumspection, but gradually the CounterReformation gained momentum. To further the work, Lussi founded a Capuchin friary at his native Stans, chief town of Nidwalden, (referred to in this document as ‘that part of Unterwalden below the Forest of Kerns’), of which he was Ammann eleven times between 1561 and 1595. In the second half of the 16th century, Lussi was second in importance only to Ludwig Pfyffer of Lucerne in Catholic Switzerland. (1) £500-800

During the Thirty Years’ War, the Valtellina (now in the easternmost Swiss Canton, but then a mutual-defence region independent of Switzerland) was a theatre of intense military and diplomatic struggle among France, the Habsburg powers and the local authorities. At stake was control of the routes through the Valtellina territory to the passes between Lombardy and the Danube watershed. In mid July 1620 Valtellina rebels supported by Austrian and Italian troops massacred a large number of Protestants and drove nearly all remaining Protestants out of the valley. The killings were part of the conflicts in Graubunden known as the Bundner Wirren or Confusion of the Leagues. (2) £400-600

Farrow, “Limehurst”, Spalding, England. Anybody finding it and returning it to the above address will be rewarded and anybody finding it is asked to return, E.P. Farrow’, original cloth gilt, a little rubbed and marked with slight fraying to foot of spine, 8vo Included with the lot are the remains of a home-made brown paper dust-jacket with detached typed note of provenance written by Farrow, signed and dated 30 May 1951: ‘Copy of Prof. Sigmund Freud’s “Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis” autographed by Prof. Freud at his house in Bergasse, Vienna, May 1924, and handed back to Dr Ernest Pickworth Farrow of Spalding, Lincolnshire. After leaving Prof. Freud’s house, Mr A.G. Tansley FRS (now Prof. Sir Arthur Tansley) - who had taken me to Prof. Freud’s house and introduced me to him - said to me, “My word, Farrow - that book will be worth thousands of pounds at some time in the future”. When I asked him why, he replied “Well, what would we give to-day to have a copy of Sir Isaac Newton’s ‘Principia’ autographed by Newton himself? And I would certainly say that Freud is the Newton of the mind”‘. Ernest Pickworth Farrow (1891-1956) was a plant ecologist who studied under Arthur Tansley (1871-1955) at Trinity College, Cambridge. It was Tansley who stimulated Farrow’s interest in psychology and psychoanalysis, and it was Tansley who later put Farrow in contact with Freud. Following a dream about business worries in 1922 Farrow underwent psychoanalysis with two analysts. Farrow is referred to in the correspondence between Sigmund Freud and Ernest Jones, Jones initially grumbling about a ‘rambling auto-biographical article’ sent by Farrow and suggesting Farrow is suffering from dementia praecox (7 November 1924). Freud replied and defended Farrow: ‘You must not take Mr Farrow for a fool. I know him through Tansley and from a personal conversation. He is an odd man, but a very able, ‘shrewd’ one, who had no luck with two analysts and has since then undertaken a self-analysis and is coming up with quite serious findings. To be sure, he is a bit of a grumbler, but both analysts [near you] really made technical mistakes with him’ (16 November 1924). Farrow was attempting to enlist Freud as a patron of self-analysis and eventually published this as ‘A Practical Method of Self-Analysis... ‘, containing a foreword by the late Sigmund Freud (1942). Freud also wrote the preface to an earlier published paper of Farrow’s concerning a memory recovered from his seventh month and published in the International Zeitschrift fur Psychoanalyse in 1926. In this preface Freud commends Farrow’s efforts to employ ‘the procedure of self-analysis which I myself employed in the past for the analysis of my own dreams. His findings deserve attention precisely on account of the peculiar character of his personality and of his technique’. (1) £1000-1500

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
