In many respects it is the most interesting of the five editions. For the first time Walton’s friend, Charles Cotton, brought his important contribution of particular interest to the fly fisherman as Walton was essentially a bait fisherman. Cotton owes his long-lasting fame mainly to his association with Walton, as Part II was to be reproduced in most editions published in the following centuries”. (1)

Gill (Macdonald), The Wonderground Map of London, published The Westminster Press [1924], colour printed folding map, old folds, 740 x 930mm, supplied with original colour printed envelope, envelope frayed and worn with slight loss This is an example of the slightly smaller edition of Gill’s 1913 map which is assumed to have been published to help the promotion of the 1924 British Empire Exhibition that was held at Wembley between April and October of that year. If you look closely in the top left hand corner you can see a sign saying:- ‘On To Wembley’ and an art deco lion. Neither of which appear on the 1913 edition. The map would have been well known and much loved by Londoners and to re-use it to help advertise and promote the exhibition was probably a sound piece of advertising and publicity. The map remains highly stylised and whimsical, and was originally commissioned by The London Underground and was designed to be displayed in tube stations. The intense pictorial content of the map caught the public’s imagination and as a result Gill is often credited with creating a resurgence of the genre of decorative map making. Uncommon to find a bright clean example retaining its original printed envelope. (1) £400-600

Apparently once in the possession of Christ Church don Oscar Wood, this copy has copious pencilled annotations and underlinings throughout in a contemporary hand, refuting Medwin’s text. A large number of the notes are transcribed from observations in a ‘Review of Dallas and Medwin on Byron’ written by statesman, and close friend of Byron, John Cam Hobhouse (17861869), which was published in volume 3 of the ‘Westminster Review’ in January 1825. We have been unable to establish the identity of the annotator, although it seems he or she was more or less a contemporary of Byron, since the marginalia have been cropped here and there by the early 19th century binder. The book appears to have been annotated by someone acquainted with Byron and sympathetic to the poet, who used Hobhouse’s ‘Review’, other printed sources, and personal knowledge of his or her own, to annotate Medwin’s work. In his review Hobhouse was scathing of Medwin, writing: ‘as Mr. Medwin has been a dragoon, and as, moreover, he has recently sent a letter to England of a very warlike complexion, we suppose we must content ourselves with saying that he has misheard, not misrepresented, Lord Byron. Certain however, it is, that the Conversations, such as they now appear, never could have been uttered by his lordship; who, amongst his other noble qualities, was distinguished for a scrupulous regard, even in trifles, to truth’, adding ‘nothing can be more unpardonable than the taking Medwin’s Conversations for authentic’. Of particular interest are the annotations which are not taken from Hobhouse, for example: ‘Medwin was not so very intimate with him after all. He once took a book of Byron’s off a table in the latter’s absence. The servant, who remonstrated but in vain asked his master on informing him of the fact what he should do if the same thing were repeated - Byron replied “Kick his A—e”!’. There are many other personal references to Byron, for example: ‘He drank a good deal gin also. Pointing over to the MS of Lara, he said “its all gin. Gin is the true Helicon”!’; ‘He was very fond of bragging of his swimming prowesss, but he was no great shakes in the matter after all’; and, referring to a locket Byron wore round his neck, ‘He would never tell the name of the lady to whom this woman’s hair belonged’. Medwin claimed that Byron had taken part in several duels, quoting the poet as saying ‘“one [duel] was with Hobhouse before I became intimate with him”‘; this line has been underlined, and written in the margin beside is the word ‘stuff!’. Where the text quotes Byron on his associations with the opposite sex, a manuscript note in the margin reads: ‘Maria Cogni! His chere amie at Venice before he took up with his Fornarina was Maria Segati’. There are manuscript references to, amongst others, Shelley (‘What Shelley did was to ask him [Southey] if he wrote the Review on the Revolt of Islam’), Polidori (‘he [Byron] purposely absented himself leaving Polidori to entertain his own guests’), Byron’s daughter Ada (‘Ada had a hard mathematical head which [Charles] Babbage cultivated to his hearts content. She knew more about hedging a betting book, than writing poetry. It is said that she resembled her father a good deal when she was in a passion’), and Lady Caroline Lamb (‘poor Lady Caroline was undoubtedly mad. [Samuel] Rogers is of opinion that nothing criminal ever took place between her and Byron’). A transcription of the annotations is available on request. (1) £500-800

Lord of the Castle & Tower of Betreds in Kent, Ancester of ye said Samuel Manning of London & Footscray in Kent ye Cross Militant under K Richd. Ye I in his Expedition to ye Holy Land, hath left ye said Coat and Crest to be borne by his Posterity. N.B. This Pedigree is taken from Sylvanus Morgan author of ye sphere of Gentry Printed in 1660”, decorative cartouche to left hand side “Manning descended of an Ancient & Noble Family so called from a Town in Saxony, from whence they came into Engnd. Before ye Conquest, & have also settled in Freisae”, repaired to upper left blank corner, some light dust-soiling, 575 x 450mm (23.5 x 18ins)
£150-200
The pedigree records the descendants from Simon Manning, Robert Wingfield, William Brandon & Elizabeth Wingfield, recording the descent to Sir William Brandon (1456-1485) who was Henry Tudor’s standard-bearer at the Battle of Bosworth, where he was killed by King Richard III and descent to Sir William’s son Charles Brandon 1st Duke of Suffolk (1515-1533) & Mary, Queen of France (1496-1533, the daughter of Henry VII of England), through to Samuel Manning of London (born circa 1630 & son of Francis Manning, 1610-45, goldsmith of London). It then records in later manuscript the descent of the pedigree roll through the Manning family through Elizabeth Manning (1717-1799) to Sir Richard Madox Bromley KCB (1813-1865) who was 1st cousin to the Pre-Raphaelite artist Ford Madox Brown (1821-1842). Sir Richard’s sister Elizabeth Bromley was Ford Madox Brown’s first wife marrying in 1841. This pedigree was previously framed, the wooden back board is present, and includes the remnants of a label inscribed “This pedigree [roll?] was given to Sir [Richard Madox Bromley] KCB by his unc[le] who died 13 Septe[mber 1864]”. Sylvanus Morgan was known to have worked with the Manning family in 1649 (Misc. Gen. et Her. New series, iv, 338 and Cat. Her. Exhib 1894, published 1896, pp.77-8). Part of the Manning pedigree is included (in words) in ‘Sphere of Gentry’ published in 1660/1, pp.15-16, but much of which was printed much earlier in the Commonwealth period (Moule, Bibliography of Heraldry, p.165). The style of the Manning achievement is very much of the Commonwealth period. Comparison with rolls by Sylvanus Morgan in the National Library of Wales show the same characteristics, which suggests this pedigree came from Morgan’s workshop. (1) £1000-1500

Rare broadside listing the numbers ‘Buried in all’ and ‘Of the Plague’ in London between 22nd and 29th September 1603, as well as the total number who died of the plague from 17th December 1602 to 29th September 1603. John Windet (fl.1584-1611) was particularly known for his publications of music, although he also printed many other works, such as ‘A Survey of London’, published in the same year as this broadside. His weekly bulletins of plague deaths rarely survive, although a number are held at Harvard University Library (ESTC S4374 and S2795). Chetham’s Library has a copy which has been cut in half horizontally, and used to form front and back endpapers in a contemporary binding; probably many met with such a fate, in the days when necessity meant that printed matter was often recycled in such a manner.

Anna, as she was known, was the only child of Jane Austen’s eldest brother, James and his first wife Anne Mathew. As a child she was very close to her aunt, staying with Jane and her sister Cassandra for two years at Steventon before her father remarried in 1797. Anna and Jane often corresponded and their letters convey a mutual love and affection. Some have ventured to say that Anna was Jane’s favourite niece, and Jane wrote of her in the poem ‘Mock Panegyric on a Young Friend’. It has been said that Anna was primarily responsible for flaming the ember of old love between Tom Lefroy (cousin of her husband Benjamin) and Jane. Jane wrote two letters to Cassandra mentioning Tom Lefroy, and some have suggested that the character of Mr. Darcy in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ was based on him. Anna herself was an accomplished writer, publishing ‘Mary Hamilton’ (1833), ‘A Winter’s Tale’ (1841), ‘Springtide’ (1842) and ‘Recollections of Aunt Jane’ (1864). She also attempted to finish her aunt’s last legacy ‘Sanditon’, but to no avail. The sentiments of the heroine in chapter four of ‘Emma’ perhaps reflect Jane’s own: “I shall be very well off, with all the children of a sister I love so much, to care about. There will be enough of them, in all probability, to supply every sort of sensation that declining life can need... My nephews and nieces! I shall often have a niece with me.” (1) £300-500

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.
