Upcott p.246-249. The rare first edition: many copies were lost in a fire at the printer’s house in Whitefriars on January 30th 1712. Upcott notes that a similar fate befell copies of the second edition. Sir Robert Atkyns, MP and topographer was somewhat overshadowed by his father, who as chief baron of the exchequer was speaker of the House of Lords between 1689 and 1693.

Atkyns refused to take the oath of allegiance to William III and retired to Pinbury Park in Gloucestershire. The first of the three major Gloucestershire antiquaries, the other two being Ralph Bigland (1712-1784) and Samuel Rudder (1726-1801), Atkyns collected material for parish histories in an attempt to record the population of each parish, based on the number of houses therein and the yearly birth and burial numbers.

129* Trades & Professions. A large collection of ninety watercolours of Scottish tradesmen, mainly Edinburgh and surroundings, circa 1820 - 1860, watercolours, most with an ink manuscript title below image, a few with pencil captions in English & German, each approximately 360 x 250mm An extroadinary social document of Scottish economic history by James Howie and his son. There are at least 75 different occupations shown from J. Pettit the Rat Catcher to a China Mender, a Newhaven Fisherman, a Highland Reaper, Strawberry Sellers, a Carrier of Childrens Coffins at Funerals, a Chambermaid and a Doorbell Installer. The subjects have individual faces which suggest they were specific characters. A large number (although smaller than this collection) of these pictures are held by Glasgow University as part of The Murray Collection. Whereas The Murray Collection details groups of people who were significant to Glasgow, be they workers of the recently formed Railway Company or Police Forces etc. this collection gives more of an insight into the everyday people of Edinburgh, its surrounding towns and further afield. Some of the pictures that do not have ink titles have pencil notes that may be by the artist or a later hand.

A number of illustrations also have later German titles written in pencil. At some stage in their history it would seem that they were owned by a German collector or dealer. It is also apparent that the artist painted a number of other pictures which have since been further separated or lost from this collection. Some of the subjects, such as the House Carpenter and Licensed Hawker No. 640, show only a back view and it can be reasonably assumed that there must also have been a front view as with some of the other subjects. A time span of the dates within which the drawings were made can be worked out from the evidence that they give. For example one picture shows a gas Lamp Lighter; gas lights were first introduced to Edinburgh in 1819. The picture of the Road Contractors Man Cleaning Street with Patent Rake cannot have been done before 1843 when Joseph Whitworth of Manchester patented the first mechanised street sweeper. The Canal Coal Carrier Edin. notes on the back Union Canal Coal Carrier. The Union Canal opened in 1822. It is fascinating to guess why these pictures were originally painted. Were they purely the hobby of an amateur artist who combined his skill as a draughtsman with an interest in the indigenous people of his country ? Perhaps they were commissioned for a proposed book which was never printed. It is possible they were inspired by the prints The Cries of London after the paintings by Francis Wheatley of 1792 to 1795. A few other cities such as York, Newcastle and Banbury had their own Cries and Edinburgh was well known for the Cries of its Street Sellers. They were closely linked with music in the city and even inspired the 19th Century poem Auld Edinburgh Cries. The connection to the Cries is further strengthened by the pencil title to one of the drawings Neeps Like Suker. The seventh line of Auld Edinburgh Cries is Neeps like Succar, Whall buy Neeps? Maybe the artist recognized the popularity of the Cries and took them several steps further to encompass a broader spectrum of life. What is also possible is that James Howie painted these studies to sell at fairs and social gatherings. A full list of all 93 pictures is given below.

Hematite is the mineral form of iron oxide (Fe2O3). It is an important ore of iron and its blood red color (in the powdered form) lends itself well to use as a pigment. Hematite gets its name from a Greek word meaning blood-like because of the color of its powder. Ancient superstition held that large deposits of hematite formed from battles that were fought and the subsequent blood that flowed into the ground. Very dense and heavy, Hematite is sometimes used in jewelry, either as black reflective stones or as a carved individual item.

In 1894 Beatrix Potter wrote a picture letter to the publishers Ernest Nister in which she described the adventures of a frog called Jeremy Fisher, wondering if her story could be made into a booklet. Robert Mack wrote back ‘I am doubtful whether we can take it, we certainly cannot make a booklet of it as people do not want frogs now... the days of these booklets are quite gone out, they do not pay to produce, people are so utterly tired of them and want some novelty’. After lengthy negotiations, in which Beatrix Potter stood firm over the sum she wanted for her illustrations, the publishers purchased nine of Potter’s drawings and used them to accompany Clifton Bingham’s verse in their Annual for 1896 and in this title of the same year. Much later Potter was to write ‘Nister was an unattractive German (?) Firm - but it was my first start at anything published’.

HENRY RIDER HAGGARD (1856-1925) The Roger Allen Collection The collection offered here is the entire Rider Haggard library of Roger Allen (1946-2014).

Roger was the founder and secretary of the Rider Haggard Society, following a passion for Rider Haggard books which began in his childhood. Later on he began to collect the books and, as is so often the case, he started to trade books as well, so establishing a group of collectors with whom he kept in touch. Due to the demand of these collectors Roger began the Rider Haggard Appreciation Society, offering Issue One of the newsletter in October 1985. These biannual A5 newsletters offered a forum for buying and selling Rider Haggard books as well as printing fact files on individual books. By 1999 the newsletter had become simply ‘The Haggard Journal’. This led to the Society’s first meeting in Milton Keynes at which Roger’s relaxed and laid-back style (wearing trainers and sitting on the edge of the table) won over the other members, many lasting friendships being formed. Roger attended every meeting from then until 2010.

Roger published several guides to Haggard’s books and many of the articles that he wrote for the Journal were of unusual angles or expanded on some obscure Haggard detail. He planned to retire as secretary of the Society in June, but after fighting myeloma for four and a half years he finally succumbed to the disease, dying on 26 November 2014. A fuller obituary was published in the Rider Haggard Society Journal, No. 118, March 2015.

Provenance: Dick McBride and his wife Betty. Dick McBride worked at City Lights bookstore in the 1950s/1960s and was friends with Ferlinghetti, Shig, Ginsberg and other Beat poets and artists. Dick himself was a poet, novelist and playwright. When Ferlinghetti read his ‘Assassination Raga’ for the first time that evening, 8 June 1968, it had only been completed a few hours earlier while Ferlinghetti watched Senator Robert Kennedy’s funeral on television. The postcard from Ferlinghetti sent in 1957 concerns Ginsberg’s infamous poem ‘Howl’. Due to its many references to illicit drugs and sexual practices customs officials seized 520 copies of the poem being imported on 25th March 1957. On 3rd June Shig Murao, the bookstore manager, was arrested and jailed for selling ‘Howl and Other Poems’ to an undercover San Francisco police officer. City Lights publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti was subsequently arrested for publishing the book. At the obscenity trial, nine literary experts testified on the poem’s behalf and, the Judge deciding that the poem was of ‘redeeming social importance’, Ferlinghetti won the case.

It is not known how many copies of this reel-to-reel tape were made or how many survive.

844* Rendell (Ruth, b. 1930) Typed letter signed ‘Ruth Rendell’, dated May 26, 1996, to Bevis Hillier, regarding an outline for a mystery novel: “I would never tell anyone that an idea was a nohoper because I believe that anything is publishable, potentially successful and even destined for greatness if it is well-enough handled. If it is carried out with great talent. If it is done with care and sensitivity. But obviously the better the idea to start with, the more the chances of success... Now to your plot outline. It is clever, it is brilliantly innovative and inventive, but I don’t think it in the slightest bit suitable for today’s market... Today’s readers in this country don’t like crime novels that are funny. Crime is a serious matter and murder is very serious. I feel this so much myself that I would never touch a plot that depended on humour. To the majority of readers serial killers cannot be made amusing... Your palindromes are brilliant. I’ve said that before. They are too clever. Serial killers aren’t clever. They are almost invariably mentally disturbed inadequates or psychopaths who wouldn’t know a palindrome from a hippodrome.” Together with a typed note from Bevis Hillier outlining the plot and with comments on Ruth Rendell’s reply, old folds, 2pp. on two sheets, 8vo Bevis Hiller is an art historian and biographer of Sir John Betjeman.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS AFTER THE AUCTION Online results If you weren’t present or able to follow the auction live, you can find results for the sale on our website shortly after the sale has ended.

Payment The price you pay is the amount at which the auctioneer’s hammer falls (the hammer price), plus a buyer’s premium (a percentage of the final hammer price) and vat where applicable. You will be issued with an invoice made out to the name and address provided on your registration form.

Please note successful bids made via the-saleroom.com cannot be invoiced or paid for until the day after an auction.

A live bidding fee of 3% + vat will be added to your invoice.

METHODS OF PAYMENT Cheque Cheques will only be accepted on the day of the sale by prior arrangement (please contact our office for further information). Cheques by post will be accepted but a period of 5 working days will be required for the cheque to clear before purchases can be collected or posted.

Cash Payments can be made at the Cashier’s Office, either during or after the sale.

Debit Card There is no additional charge for purchases made with these cards. Debit cards drawn on an overseas bank, however, will be subject to a 2% surcharge.

Credit Cards Visa and Mastercard are accepted, a 2% surcharge will apply. It is a good idea to let your card provider know in advance if you are intending to buy something. This can help cut down the time we need to seek authority when you come to pay.

Collection/Postage/Delivery If you attend the auction in person and are successful in your bid, you are free to collect your item once payment has been made.

Successful commission or live bids will be invoiced to you the day after the sale. When it is possible for our in-house packing department to send your purchase(s), a charge for postage/packing/insurance will be included in your invoice.

Where it is not possible for our in-house packing department to send your item you will be required to make your own arrangements or to contact Mailboxes etc (tel: 01793 525009) who may be able to help.

DW101-135 Day Two_Layout 1 29/05/2015 14:26 Page 178

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. 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.
