Conrad, p.189, Rosove 310.A1, Spence 1126. The fore-edge margins of the volume contain several neat pencil annotations in the same hand as the signature to the wrapper, which cross reference various passages of text to Scott’s Last Journey, 2 vols., published in 1913. Sir George Clarke Simpson (1878-1965) was meteorologist on Scott’s Terra Nova expedition, where he was given the nickname ‘Sunny Jim’ by the other expedition members. He constructed one of the continent’s first weather stations, conducting balloon experiments to test the atmosphere and determine how altitude affects temperature. Simpson recorded the temperature and wind observations at the base camp at Cape Evans. He also held command of this station for several months when Scott and his party left for the journey to the South Pole in November 1911. In this work he examines whether abnormally severe weather conditions could have been a major contributing factor leading to the death of the polar party. A scarce title.

A fascinating account of a meeting with William Robertson, a crippled old soldier who called at the door of Anna Mary Howitt, friend and associate of the early Pre-Raphaelites. Anna was reading an account of Worsaae’s “Danes and Norwegians in Great Britain” at the time of the call. Invited into her kitchen, Robertson gave account of his life as a soldier, his experiences and his downfall, whilst Anna sketched the pencil portrait of him. Anna Mary was the daughter of the prolific Quaker writers and publishers William Howitt (1792-1879) and Mary Botham (1799-1888), and was married to the writer Alaric Alfred Watts. She showed early talent and entered Henry Sass’s Art Academy in London in 1846, where her contemporaries included William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti (who became a close friend) and Thomas Woolner. She was also a feminist (for example in 1856 helping Barbara Leigh Smith to collect signatures for a petition that would lead to the Married Women’s Property Act 1870), and an accomplished writer (for example she wrote ‘An Art-Student in Munich’ published in 1853 to great acclaim).

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”.

Schwerdt III p. 245. The book was published in Tokyo and the editor’s name was Nakamura Sasuke.The ‘Mirror of Hawks’ is a very comprehensive and instructive treatise on falconry. It is rare, only seven copies having been traced in European libraries. Kawanabe Kyosai (1831-89) was a Kano painter, printmaker, and illustrator, the son of a Samurai. At the age of six he entered the studio of Utagawa Kuniyoshi, and from the age of nine became a student of the academic Kano school, studying under Maemura Towa and then Tohaku Chinshin, who gave him the name “Toiku”.

He exhibited at the Vienna International Exposition in 1873, and at the first and second Paris Japanese Art Exhibitions of 1883 and 1884. In the early years of the Meiji period (1868-1912) he attained considerable popularity with his political caricatures, for which he was arrested and imprisoned in 1870.

Kyosai’s “Ehon Taka Kagami” is a major resource on Japanese falconry, with wonderful woodcuts of hawks, field work, breeding, hoods, gloves, and other associated tools and items of equipment, and includes descriptions of the ancient Japanese methods of care, raising, and training of the Siberian goshawk, considered one of the best variety of hawks for use in falconry.

The rest, all danger scorning, gallantly dashed across the frozen basin, and disembarking near the Sackville Bridge reached fulty’s at 10 minutes past 2.

After partaking of the sumptuous fare and the president’s generous liquor the vice called the attention of the club to the irregularity of fancy caps being introduced by the members. It was carried by a large majority that in future black hats should be worn. Meltonia Virtus was then declared vice president for the next day’s meeting ... leaving at half past 4, the club returned to town. Nimrod in attempting to regain the landing place at the three mile house made a fearful wreck of his sleigh - the standard broke and the runners ran away - so leaving him to pick up the pieces we took compassion on his friend and arrived in the square without further mishap at 10 minutes before 6 - allowing 15 minutes lost with our friend Nimrod accomplishing the distance in 65 minutes’.

Honeyman sale 2766; Kress S1099; Norman, volume 2, 1895. Extremely scarce volume describing the first commercially-used steam pump; the only institutional copy we have been able to trace is the British Library copy. British mines, and particularly the deep pits of Cornwall, were constantly filling with water, and all attempts to solve the problem had failed. In July 1698 Thomas Savery (1650-1715) patented the design of the first engine to be employed in this work. Savery demonstrated a model of his invention to William III at Hampton Court in 1698, and then to the Royal Society the following year: “Mr. Savery entertained the Society with showing his engine to raise water by the force of fire. He was thanked for showing the experiment, which succeeded, according to expectation, and was approved of.” The patent included no description or illustration of the machine, and so in 1702 Savery published a full account with an engraving, entitled ‘The Miner’s Friend’, which was distributed among the proprietors and managers of mines. The first working device was installed in the Warwickshire coal mines in 1712, allowing deeper shafts to be worked, although many of his sales were made to private estates that wanted to drain and divert excess water.

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 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.
