The Anti-Corn Law League formed in Manchester had no buildings large enough to hold the public anxious to participate in the political controversy. It was Richard Cobden who provided the League with some land in St. Peter’s Fields, where a wooden pavilion was set up, opened in January 1840, and capable of accommodating five thousand people. Three years later it was replaced by a brick building. This was nominally the first Free Trade Hall and used by the League until 1849 when the Corn Law were repealed. However, the hall continued to be used for a further four years hosting musical events including ‘Concerts for the People’, a series of weekly concerts by the Lancashire and Cheshire Philharmonic Society. The hall was closed in 1853 and in 1855 the Manchester Public Hall Company was formed to build a new one, this being opened in October of the following year. Established as ‘a monument to the merchants and traders who supported the League in all its struggles, this hall lasted from 1856 until 1940, becoming the best known in Manchester and the North’. Notably, the Halle Orchestra began its long association there with its first performance in January 1858. Besides concerts and political events, the Hall hosted boxing and wrestling, dancing and speech days and talks by, among others, Winston Churchill, Charles Dickens, various prime ministers and explorers including Stanley, Scott and Nansen.

Cozens, ‘Many congratulations upon the magnificent fight and its result, the [Crystal] Palace football team made of Jan 21. I would have given something to have been there. I tried to get the dailies with the reports of the team’s doings while I am in New York, but miss some games as papers are intermittent here from England but all I get I read with more avidity than anything else, and hope to follow your proceedings to victory in the cup ties. The team seems to be fighting together better than they ever did and have a good chance of pulling off something big. What a pity they can’t, when taking those long journeys, acclimatise before going into the field. It always takes the pull out of a man to play after a journey immediately and tells just when they want that final one bit more of grit to think things out on the moment. I don’t expect to be back for some time yet but when I do come, I shall have many an idea for you, and I hope, a success for a big cat show’, a little spotting and dust soiling, 3 pp., 8vo, together with a second autograph letter signed from Louis Wain to Cozens, 30th June 1906, thanking him for his invitation to the Handel festival and referring to Crystal Palace FC, ‘you are carrying the Palace forward in a very active way. The sleepiness has gone out of it’, recommending a boy violinist and with a p.s. that he was sorry to have missed him at the Palace, some spotting and soiling, 2 pp., both 8vo, plus a small quantity of related ephemera including five early 20th-c. Crystal Palace souvenir programmes and booklets, a few photographs, two invitations and some later ephemera J.H. Cozens was general manager of the Crystal Palace Company, and later formed a new Crystal Palace FC as a professional outfit in 1905. It is perhaps inevitable that Louis Wain became a Crystal Palace FC supporter for he was well involved with Crystal Palace for artistic reasons. He made drawings at the British National Dog Show at Crystal Palace in 1882 (which later became Crufts). Wain also became president and show manager and judge of the National Cat Club, also designing the Club logo as still used today. The first National Cat Club Show was held at the Crystal Palace in 1887 and continued to be held there until December 1936. (approx. 20) £200-300

The Tsar objected to the Queen’s request to have his daughter come to England in order to meet her, and after the January 1874 wedding in St. Petersburg, the Tsar insisted that his daughter be granted presedence over the Princess of Wales, which the Queen rebuffed. Later that year, after attending the engagement ceremonies of the second surviving son, Vladimir, to Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in Berlin, Alexander II, with his third son, Alexi, accompanying him, made a visit to England.

Always a friendly and affable individual, his Lear-like figure would have been recognised by many here who never met him. While Chris did attempt to retire from bookselling in 2007, selling his remaining stock through these rooms, he was unable to resist the lure of the auction room. The tantalising grouped lots of small children’s books brought him back again and again and he continued to buy and sell by catalogue from Minchinhampton for the remaining six years of his life, producing his last list, no. 169, in April 2013, just 7 months before he died. What will be less known to most of his book trade colleagues and fellow auction attenders was that bookselling was a second and parallel career to that of his role as lecturer and campaigner, in recognition of which he was appointed OBE. Printed below is a short summary of a biography prepared by Deborah, one of his daughters. The full version is available on request from the auctioneers. Chris Holtom was born in Reading, attending the local schools of Marlborough House and Leighton Park, a Quaker school. At 16 he became a Sea Cadet with a view to joining the Royal Navy, becoming Sub-Lieutenant by the time he was 22. His ‘Road to Damascus’ experience occurred while acting as gaoler of a fellow officer awaiting removal from HMS St. Angelo in Malta to serve a twoyear prison sentence in England. Seeing the previously cheerful young man’s mental deterioration led Chris to think seriously about crime, punishment and rehabilitation. Just prior to Chris’s marriage to Hilary in 1952, Chris resigned from the Royal Navy in order to study social science at the London School of Economics. There he was awarded the Mostyn Lloyd Prize and a distinction. After qualifying, Chris became an Assistant Governor in the Prison Service at Feltham, Middlesex, the only Assistant Governor at the time with a Social Work qualification. Three years later he successfully applied for the post of Assistant Lecturer in Social Work at Edinburgh University, specialising in criminology. It was there that he set up the Scottish branch of the Howard League, which flourishes to this day. It was also in Edinburgh that Chris’s love affair with old books first developed, later growing into a significant second career, one which he enjoyed right up until he died. Chris’s growing family moved down to Bristol in 1961 and, soon after, Chris and Hilary took a market stall at Canons Marsh Market selling books and bric-a-brac. By 1975 Chris realised that the only sensible thing, whilst holding down a full time job at the University, was to start selling books by post from catalogues. His first catalogue with its familiar logo dates from 1976. Meanwhile, Chris lectured at Bristol University. From 1962 until 1992 Chris chaired the Bristol Association for the care and resettlement of offenders; was instrumental in the Landladies Scheme supporting older men; set up the Filton Road Hostel for young men, then the New Careers for Offenders Project. He was also manager of Kingswood Approved School, a co-opted member of Bristol Probation Committee and on the Parole Committee of Leyhill Open Prison. Chris was also, very notably, the founder of Victim Support. With colleagues, he developed the practices that have established Victim Support as a world leader in the provision of services to victims of crime. This year sees the 40th anniversary of the organisation. In 1991 he was awarded an OBE in recognition for the work he had done for Victim Support, and in 1994 he was awarded a Lord Mayor of Bristol’s Medal for services to Bristol and its citizens. In his eighties, and with no previous art making experience, Chris became a talented lino cutter, producing two magnificent hand-made books of his own prints for the enjoyment of his large family. Chris has been described as “a man who didn’t really fit any mould and wouldn’t have wanted to, anyway. He was much more interesting and imaginative and free thinking than that … trusting people to use their good sense to achieve or deliver something of value to others”. Chris endured the ravages of oral cancer with stoicism and grace, dying at home with his family supporting him. A humanist funeral was held on 23 November 2013 at Bristol’s Memorial Woodlands. He and Hilary are survived by five daughters, one son, fifteen grandchildren, one great-grandchild and two step-great-grandchildren.

PHILOSOPHY BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY OF RUSH RHEES Rush Rhees (1905-1989) was a lecturer in philosophy at Swansea University, and, notably, one of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s literary executors and editors. He taught at the University from 1940 to 1966, his influence being at its height from 1952 to 1964 when J. R. Jones, Peter Winch and R. F. Holland were his department colleagues. Rhees was born in America, where his father was President of Rochester University. He came to Edinburgh to read philosophy, graduating with first-class honours in 1928. In 1932-33 he studied philosophy of Brentano with Alfred Kastil at Innsbruck; from 1933 to 1936 he studied with G. E. Moore at Cambridge, and it was there he became a pupil and close friend of Wittgenstein, the major philosophical influence in his life. Wittgenstein would often visit Swansea for discussions with Rhees as they took long walks on the Gower Peninsular. Rhees founded the Philosophical Society at Swansea in 1940 and dominated its discussions. With Wittgenstein Rhees shared an appreciation of his own cultural inheritance and was more able to understand Wittgenstein in a wider context than the traditions of Anglo-American philosophy. In addition to being one of Wittgenstein’s literary executors, Rhees was also Wittgenstein’s personal executor. Undoubtedly some of Wittgenstein’s ‘lesser’ books were amalgamated into Rush Rhees’s library and while only one book in this collection is here catalogued as being annotated by Wittgenstein others were probably in his possession. Some books are known to have been owned by Wittgenstein anecdotally from conversations between Rhees and Brian McGuinness. These modest second-hand editions included works by Lessing, Schiller, Goethe, Grillparzer and Kleist. A good number of the books offered here have marginal pencil marks by Rhees and throughout the collection are handwritten and typed slips of paper used as bookmarks by Rhees. 335 [Wittgenstein, Ludwig, 1889-1951]. Lessings Samtliche Werke... , ed., Hugo Goring, 20 vols., Stuttgart, n.d., c. 1880s, pencil marginalia in Wittgenstein's hand, written vertically in German to pp. 195, 199, 209, 217 & 218, plus a few other marginal marks in the same page range and all concerning Lessing's fables in prose, other volumes unannotated, orig. cloth gilt, rubbed, small 8vo, together with Works Editions of Schiller (12 vols. in 6, Stuttgart, 1862), Goethe (17 vols. of 30, Stuttgart, c. 1860), Grillparzer (10 vols. in 5, Stuttgart, 1872) and Kleist (3 vols., n.d.), Schiller and Goethe contemp. quarter morocco/calf, Grillparzer and Kleist orig. cloth, leather vols. heavily rubbed, all 8vo While only one volume has any annotations or markings, some of these sets are believed to have belonged to Wittgenstein and later to Rush Rhees, his executor. The first annotation on p. 195 begins: 'Kann man dem etwas fur Vorbild nehmen, nur weil es gut ist?'. (51) £500-800

Sraffa joined him at Trinity in 1939, making them colleagues until Wittgenstein’s death in 1951. Wittgenstein found Sraffa a highly stimulating thinker and acknowledged a debt to him. (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.
