Rare, only one UK location found (British Library). Father Joachim Bouvet (1656-1730) was a French Jesuit missionary. He was one of the first Jesuits selected by Louis XIV for the mission in China he and his associates were commissioned by the Academie des Sciences to make astronomical observations, determine geographical positions and to collect various scientific data. The mission arrived in Peking in February, 1688 and were favourably received by the Emperor Khang-hi. So far did they win his esteem and confidence that he gave them a site within the palace enclosure for a Church residence which was finally completed in 1702. For nearly fifty years Father Bouvet shared all the labours of the missionaries and did much to advance the interest in Christianity and to facilitate the entrance and labours of his fellow missionaries. His Chinese name was Petsin.

TITANIC & WHITE STAR LINE MEMORABILIA (Provenance: George Frederick Bull)

Mr R. McPherson, Sir Percy E. Bates and George Frederick Bull (picture taken 1946, after the presentation of the Titanic Coal Strike revolvers)

George Frederick Bull (1880-1969), born in Southwark, London, moved to Southampton in 1890. In 1893 he applied to the American Line, which had that year transferred their ships from Liverpool to Southampton, and obtained a position with the company two years later. He sailed to America on several occasions and on one passage sailed in the R.M.S. Adriatic with Captain Edward John Smith, later to be the captain of the ill-fated Titanic. In 1907 the American Line was incorporated with the White Star Line and Bull transferred across. A year later, Bull moved to the Drawing Office in Southampton and married his work colleague Clarissa. As Chief Clerk for the firm, Bull was responsible for supervising valuables, up-to-date passenger lists and the arrivals of the coal trains. In 1921 the Company decided to open their own office in the Midlands and Bull was appointed Manager of the Birmingham office (see lot 68).

During the Great Depression, to keep ships working and to provide work for the crews, Bull initiated the first Scholars’ Cruises. These ran from 1929 until 1935 (they took 8,000 boys and girls to Lisbon, Gibraltar, Morocco, Madeira, the Baltic and the Mediterranean, see lot 69). Bull retired from service with the Company in 1947 and was presented with the Coal Strike pistol in a Titanic flare pistol box, the box reputedly recovered from one of the Titanic lifeboats at the time of the disaster. After Bull's death in 1969 many of his personal effects were donated to the Cunard Company archive while a number of others were bought privately from the family.

Bull after 47 years service with the White Star Cunard Line Co. Ltd. By Sir Percy E. Bates. Bart., G.B.E. Chairman of the Cunard Steam Ship Co. Ltd.', reverse engraved with White Star and Cunard flag and signature of Sir Percy The Hopkins and Allen Company was established in 1868 by S.S. Hopkins, C.W. Hopkins and C.H. Allen. Based in Norwich, Connecticut, USA, they specialised in precision weapons such as the famous 'Suicide Specials', spur trigger guard revolvers. Operating until 1915 they supplied special orders for major companies including White Star Line.

In 1912 Great Britain was in the grips of a National Coal Strike, and as coal supplies were diminishing the owners of the Titanic worried that there wouldn't be enough coal to power the Titanic on its prestigious maiden voyage. Chief Clerk George Frederick Bull, R. McPherson (Manager of the companies coaling yards) and Reginald Barker (second purser) were each issued with a Derringer revolver for their own protection and given instructions for supervising the collection of black leg coal at the White Star coaling yards in Wallasey, Birkenhead, Liverpool. The trio achieved their objective using force, but Bull was injured, and later treated at Southampton General Hospital, but not without first driving the train and coal wagons to Southampton, thus enabling the RMS Titanic to meet its departure date at 12 noon on 10th April 1912. Of the trio only Reginald Barker sailed with the Titanic, and sadly drowned in the disaster, his pistol going down with him. Some accounts suggest that Bull was the last person to leave the Titanic before it sailed.

Included with the lot are a framed photograph of Bull and McPherson with Sir Percy E. Bates at the time of the presentation of their revolvers in 1946, and an illustrated booklet of provenance from the Bull family.

Waratah all survivors, the ship never going into port but zig-zagging across the ocean and searching small islands and deserted well stations in the hope of clues, plus one sheet with a rough sketch of the route of the second expedition showing South Africa, Southern Hemisphere Islands and Australia, the sheets all somewhat frayed and dampstained with occ. tears but very little loss of text or sense, all 4to, filed in plastic flimsies in chronological order in a modern ring binder The S.S. Waratah (sometimes referred to as ‘Australia’s Titanic’) was the first ship to have eight watertight compartments and its disappearance in 1909 has remained a mystery ever since. In November 1908, the Waratah began her maiden voyage from London to Australia and even then there were disputed reports of instability. On 27th April 1909 the Waratah set out on her second trip to Australia and on 1st July left Melbourne on the return journey to London. The Waratah reached Durban where one passenger, Claude Sawyer, an Engineer and experienced sea traveller, left the ship and sent a cable to his wife in London: “Thought Waratah top-heavy, landed Durban”.

The Waratah left Durban on 26th July with 211 passengers and crew, en route to Cape Town. The following day it passed the Clan McIntyre. Later that day, the weather deteriorated quickly with gusting winds of 50 knots and waves of up to thirty feet. That evening she was incidentally spotted twice more and then never again. After the ship failed to arrive at Cape Town on 29th July, it was believed that she was probably still adrift and in September this first search party on board the Sabine was instigated but yielded no result. In 1910 relatives of the Waratah passengers (mainly Australians and South Africans) chartered the Wakefield and conducted a search for three months, which again proved unsuccessful. Ever since there have been many search parties including sonar researches in modern times.

The best-selling novelist Clive Cussler has spent a fortune sponsoring submarine searches since 1983 but the Waratah’s disappearance remains a mystery. Numerous theories have been put forward including freak wave, whirlpool, explosion and paranormal activity. The Waratah had now wireless telegraphy which was due to be fitted on its return to London. The author of these letters was a Yeoman of Signals in the Royal Navy and on board HMS Hermes when he was seconded to these expeditions. The letters come by family descent from the granddaughter Penny Smith, author of ‘The Lost Ship S.S. Waratah, Searching for the Titanic of the South’ (History Press, Stroud, 2009). These letters were transcribed and published in the book and with the assistance of Jean Gaisford the stories of many of the Australian and South African passengers and crew are brought to life.

However, with a series of letters of introduction, the unidentified traveller does get to meet dignitaries, businessmen, librarians, museum curators, senators and even President Ulysses S. Grant himself: ‘Wednesday April 5 : ‘The [Smithsonian Institute] building stands in the centre of a small park, at noon I called upon Judge Barringer who accompanied me to the White House and presented me to the President. General Grant is proverbially a man of few words so that very little passed between us beyond the usual hand shaking process. He welcomed me to the country, hoped I should have pleasant time and I thanked and congratulated him upon the late Republican triumphs in Connecticut to which the sentiment he responded in suitable terms, and I then withdrew, in personal appearance General Grant is a short thick set man, wearing a closely cropped beard & moustache & during our interview was smoking his historical cigar. I called upon Mr Summer and Mr Bayard and in the afternoon I walked up to the Capitol, but as the old Ku Klux story was still going on I remained only a short time. In the evening I dined with Mr Saville…‘.

360 Queen Anne embroidered bindings. The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments: Newly Translated out of the Original Tongues: and with the former Translations diligently Compared and Revised. By His Majesty’s Special Command.

Appointed to be Read in Churches, Oxford, printed by the UniversityPrinters, 2 vols., 1701, collates complete according to Oxford University’s copy, general and New Testament letterpress titles present, with addn. eng. title to each, printed in double-column with printed marginalia, red-ruled throughout, several corners cleanly creased, f2 in vol. 2 with small neat paper patch over lower red rule border, but internally in excellent condition, marbled endpapers, early armorial bookplate of Edward Harbord, 3rd Baron Suffield (17811835), sumptuous contemp. embroidered binding of scarlet velvet worked in high relief in gold and silver thread and wire, and some coloured threads, with an elaborate overall design incorporating the monogram of Queen Anne in the centre, topped by a crown (with beading), surrounded by a scalloped frame entwined with volutes and tulips, and the rose and thistle emblem at the centre of each side, with scrolling banner above and below lettered ‘Gloria Inexcelsis Deo’ and ‘Omnia De Super’ respectively (now only legible on rear covers), with semi-circular sunburst at top, and a cherub in each corner, the spines divided by embroidered raised bands into nine compartments, each with tulips and fleur-de-lys radiating from a central quatrefoil (spines a little threadbare in places), remants of silk ties, folio in 6s, 48 x 31cm (19 x 12.25ins) Darlow & Moule 678; Herbert 867. An important pair of embroidered royal bindings in remarkably good condition, bearing the exclusive motto of the Worshipful Company of Broderers, ‘Omnia Desuper’. Anne (1665-1714) ascended the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland on 8th March 1702.

On 1st May 1707, under the Act of Union, two of her realms, the kingdoms of England and Scotland, were united as a single sovereign state, the Kingdom of Great Britain; the thistle and rose emblem, with the two flowers emanating from one stem, is a symbol of this historic event. The motto ‘Omnia Desuper’ is unique to the Worshipful Company of Broderers, and was noted as being in use in the 1633-34 Heralds’ Visitation of London record of the Company’s arms (College of Arms Ms: 2C24/217). The crest of the Broderers Company is ‘On a Wreath Argent and Gules the Holy Dove Argent displayed membered and beaked Gules upon a Roundel Azure radiated Or’.

The semi-circular sunburst at the top of each cover resembles the bottom of a ‘Roundel Azure radiated Or’, and therefore may be a further allusion to the Broderers. Like her distant cousin, Elizabeth, Anne survived religious tumult.

Though her father, mother, and stepmother were all Catholics, Anne was raised in the Church of England at the behest of her uncle, King Charles II. When her father, James II, lost the throne in the so-called Glorious Revolution of 1688 because of his Catholic leanings, Anne had only to wait her turn to succeed her sister and brother-in-law, the Protestant Mary and William. After Anne’s reign, the Church of England was firmly established. Despite seventeen pregnancies, Anne died without surviving children and was the last monarch of the House of Stuart. Edward Harbord, Baron Suffield, of Gunton Park, Norfolk, and Middleton Hall, Lancashire, represented Great Yarmouth and Shaftesbury in the House of Commons. He was a radical politician, later becoming a strong advocate in the House of Lords for the abolition of slavery, and a campaigner for prison reform.

Johann Dobneck, known as Johannes Cochlaeus (1479-1552) was a German humanist and contraversialist, born at Wendelstein, near Nuremberg. He studied in Italy, taking his doctor’s degree at Ferrara in 1517, and was ordained a priest in Rome. He became Dean of the Liebfrauenkirche at Frankfurt in 1520, and was present at the diets of Worms, Regensburg, Speyer and Augsburg, during which period he established his opposition to Luther. Cochlaeus was responsible in large part for the flight of William Tyndale from Cologne where he had been preparing the first edition in English of the New Testament, to Worms, where he finally succeeded in issuing the work in 1525. One of the principal accounts of this episode is given in Cochlaeus’ biography of Luther in the present work (pages 132-135).

In other words he was attempting to prove the very existence of God through the application of science. The Swiss were reluctant to publish his lavishly illustrated work and he had to go to Germany to find a publisher. The ‘Physica Sacra’ or ‘Kupfer-Bibel’ is justly famous for its highly ornate illustations of natural history, architecture and religous scenes even if the concepts and arguments put forward by Scheuchzer were considered archaic and tenuous.

Both ships appear to have become ice bound and despite having their hulls re-enforced with iron, were crushed by the ice. The crews, forced to abandon their ships, died of hunger and exposure while trying to trek overland to Fort Resolution. Subsequent expeditions found the remains of some of the crew and forensic examination suggested that cannibalism had taken place but that the crew may well have been poisoned by their canned rations that contained both lead and botulism. What truly happened to Franklin’s expedition has been the subject of huge speculation, rumour and myth; which is probably why it remains an area of such fascination today.

Conditions of Sale and Business 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.

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.

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 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.
