It would appear that the three buttons must have belonged to Captain Scott as part of his uniform used during the British National Antarctic Expedition of 1901-1904. Captain Scott had two older sisters, Ettie and Rose. Ettie married William Ellison-Macartney in 1897 who became Governor of Tasmania. Two years later Rose married Captain Eric Campbell of the Royal Irish Fusiliers, one of her brother Archie’s fellow officers in the Hausa Force. In 1913 Ettie and Rose with their mother Hannah were among those who attended the laying ceremony of the foundation stone of St. Alban’s Anglican Church, Claremont, New Zealand. Another woman attending the event was Mrs Edith Knight, who commissioned a three-panel stained glass window commemorating the arrival of Scott and his companions at the South Pole and their death on the return trip.

Sir Alexander Frederick Whyte KCSI (1883-1970) was a British civil servant, Liberal Party politician, writer and journalist. While MP for Perth, Whyte served as parliamentary private secretary (1910-15) to Winston Churchill, who was Home Secretary (1910-11) and then First Lord of the Admiralty (1911-15).

Whyte’s letter is dated 24th September 1948 and refers to some notes he was belatedly sending him regarding the events of 29 July to 4 August 1914.

Evidently, Whyte has used these notes and memories to annotate the relevant pages of volume 1 where he was personally involved and sent the notes on to Churchill. Whyte’s letter states that these notes ‘might be material for an authentic footnote throwing some light on the awkward predicament of Asquith’s cabinet in the last days of peace in 1914’. Whyte also adds a request that if he were to send the first volume of Churchill’s ‘World Crisis’ to him would he ‘write on the fly-leaf a word or two about those days in which I was “pars minima” to your “maxima”?’. Churchill’s reply, Chartwell, 8 October 1948, thanks Whyte for his note and for sending him copies of the records of ‘our conversations and of events just before the outbreak of the 1914-18 war. It seems to strike some notes in my memory’, and agreeing to inscribe the book for him.

D. Browning French’, creased where folded, small holes to folded corners, without loss, generally in very good condition, overall size 485 x 592mm (19 x 23.25ins)

Lot 129

The use of letters of marque by the British king and his government allowed merchant vessels, or privateers, to seek redress for loss of goods and trade caused by hostile French ships, by the seizure of ‘ships vessels and goods belonging to the French king’ with instructions to ‘bring the same to judgement in our high Courts of Admiralty of England’, as this document states. The captain is authorized ‘to set forth in a warlike manner’ and ‘by force of arms to apprehend seize and take the ships vessels and goods’. The letter also requires the captain to keep a journal of his activities, including a list of all his prizes, and their approximate value, as well as provide any information on the movements, locations, ‘designs’ and ‘strength’ of the French fleets and vessels. In return the captain may ‘sell and dispose of such ships vessels and goods’. The Viper is carefully described in the document as a ship of about 365 tons, ‘being Loop sterned, no head and one mast, mounted with twenty eight Carriage Guns carrying Shot of Nine pounds weight, and twelve Swivel Guns, and navigated with one hundred and twenty men’. It belongs to the port of ‘Folkstone’, it’s principal owners being James Clark and David Major of Folkstone, merchants. Provenance: Contained within a folio family scrap album kept by Lionel S. Lewis, titled to inside front cover Family Record Book, and dated November 16th 1886, and including a variety of 18th and 19th century legal documents, share certificates, manuscript notes and letters, and photographs , all captioned and with extensive related handwritten notes. Many leaves are loose, and some chipped to edges with loss. The Lewis or Lewys family appear to originate from Stoke Gaylard in Dorset, with later generations resident in Thanet, Kent. Lionel Lewis’s great grandmother was Mrs. Thomas Cramp, whose first husband was George Browning. The letter of marque is captioned by Lionel Lewis ‘Letters of marque dated July 6th 1779 addressed to my Great-grandmother’s brotherin-law’. The ship’s captain David Browning would therefore be the brother of George Browning.

Anchor Brewery in Southwark was established by James Monger the Elder in 1616, next to the site where the original Globe Theatre used to stand after it was burnt down in 1613. It was successively owned by James Child, Edmund Halsey, Ralph Thrale and then his son Henry Thrale (1758-1781). Thrale, with his wife Hester Lynch Piozzi, both friends of Dr Samuel Johnson (who had his own room at the Brewhouse and wrote many of his famous works there), continued to expand the business. Johnson initially wished Mrs Thrale to keep the Brewhouse after her husband died in 1781 but at the sale on the 31st May 1781, as Mrs Thrale later wrote in her memoirs, ‘God Almighty sent us a knot of rich Quakers, who bought the whole’. The ‘rich Quakers’ were the Barclays, more particularly Mr Robert Barclay, a Merchant of Cheapside, who had the financial backing of his uncle, Mr David Barclay, the banker and his cousin, Sylvanus Bevan. The business was sold for £135,000, the purchase price being spread over a period of four years. Mr Robert Barclay took Henry Thrale’s manager, John Perkins, into partnership with a quarter share of the profits. The business continued to flourish and by 1810 with production at over 200,000 barrels a year, it had become the biggest brewery in the world.

In 1955, the company merged with Courage to become Courage, Barclay and Co. The name was simplified to Courage Ltd. in 1970.

Provenance: From the family of Robert Barclay, by direct descent.

Philby to front pastedown, upper inner hinges cracked, original cloth gilt, some old water stains and fading, 8vo A humorous conceit of double-crossing by association. Guy Burgess (19111963) and Harold ‘Kim’ Philby (1912-1988) were two of the most high-profile British members of a British KGB spy ring that penetrated the intelligence system of the UK, passing vital information to the Soviets during World War II and the early stages of the Cold War. Burgess and Donald Maclean defected to the Soviet Union in 1951 after a tip-off by Philby that they were under suspicion. Philby later came under suspicion and himself defected to the Soviet Union in 1963. Thomas James Wise (1859-1937) was a bibliophile and bibliographer who later became known for the literary forgeries and stolen documents that were resold or authenticated by him. His reputation was damaged in 1934 when he was exposed by John Carter and Graham Pollard.

Churchill’, Admiralty, Whitehall, 8th April 1915, to Lord Kitchener, concerning the replacement of marines’ and seamen’s rifles with Japanese weapons, in full, ‘Excluding ships in the Mediterranean and on foreign stations, there are at present afloat in the Grand Fleet and other Squadrons in Home Waters, and in the posession of the Royal Marines at their Headquarters, 20,000 rifles, of which 8,000 Seamen’s rifles are long-charger loading, and 12,000 Marines’ rifles are short-charger loading. All the Marines’ rifles are in good condition. A proportion of the Seamen’s rifles are rather worn. It will not be possible for us to have onboard ships of the main fleets in Home Waters two patterns of rifles requiring different kinds of ammunition. It is therefore necessary for you to replace in these ships not only the 12,000 Marines’ rifles, but the 8,000 Seamen’s rifles, with the Japanese weapon; and these will be handed over to you within four weeks of the delivery to us of the 20,000 Japanese rifles. With regard to ships abroad, a further statement will be made as soon as possible; and we are quite prepared as soon as it can be arranged, to replace all Admiralty rifles now afloat by Japanese weapons, if you desire it’, folded letterhead bifolium with text to first and third pages, versos blank, saluation, sentiment and signature in Churchill’s holograph in black ink, pinholes to upper left margin, pencil notes in an unidentified clerical hand to lower left margins of first page, some light dust-soiling and light crease marks to upper right corners, 4to

At this time, Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty and Kitchener was the Secretary of State for War. Theirs was a frosty relationship, though Kitchener was eventually persuaded to support Winston Churchill’s disastrous Gallipoli Campaign in 1915-16. Churchill lost his post at the Admiralty on 27 May 1915 over the Campaign, while Kitchener died in 1916, his ship HMS Hampshire striking a mine off the Orkney Islands. The British Authorities ordered over 150,000 Japanese guns shortly after World War One began in August 1914, a mixed batch of 30th and 38th Year type rifles. Most of these rifles were used by training battalions but T. E. Lawrence suggests that at least a few reached the Middle East and were likely ‘part of a 20,000-gun consignment of Arisaka rifles issued to the Royal Navy from June 15 1915 to free LeeEnfields for land service. Japanese rifles also served the Royal Flying Corps. and its 1918-vintage successor, the Royal Air Force. The Arisakas were soon recalled, the Navy guns being replaced by Canadian Ross-rifles in April-June 1917. About 128,000 assorted Japanese guns were subsequently sent from Britain to Russia, and the patterns were declared obsolete in British service in 1921’ (John Walter, Rifles of the World, 3rd ed., 2006, p.33).

by Pope Clement XI to his physician, Giovanni Maria Lancisi... These copperplates are more accurate than the work of Vesalius. Singer was of the opinion that had they appeared in 1552 Eustachius would have ranked with Vesalius as one of the founders of modern anatomy. He discovered the Eustachian tube, the thoracic duct, the adrenals and the abducens nerve, and gave the first accurate description of the uterus. He also described the cochlea, the muscles of the throat and the origin of the optic nerves.” Peter Cheselden was surgeon to the Shannon, a Coventry class frigate built at Deptford in 1757.

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.

Bank Transfer All transfers must state the relevant invoice no. If transferring from a foreign currency, the amount we receive must be the total due after the currency conversion and the deduction of any bank charges.

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.

We provide a monthly delivery service to Central London, usually on Wednesday of the week following an auction.

Payment must be received before this option can be requested. A charge will be added to your invoice for this service.

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.
