16 Laet (Joannes de). L’Histoire du nouveau monde ou description des Indes occidentales, 1st edition in French, Leiden: Bonaventure et Abraham Elzeviers, 1640, printed title in red and black (with large printer’s device), fourteen double-page engraved maps by Hessel Gerrits, numerous woodcut illustrations to text, occasional spotting, heaviest to first and last two leaves, Admiralty Library ink stamps to title and final leaf verso (not affecting letterpress), first two leaves partly detached and second leaf (dedication/table of contents with small marginal split), modern plain half morocco over cloth with gilt motif of Admiralty Library to upper cover, slightly rubbed, folio (347 x 218mm) Burden 215, 229-232; Sabin 38558; Willems 49. The second printed atlas of the Americas, and the first edition of the atlas to appear in French. The maps in the first edition (‘Nieuwe wereldt’, 1625) focused on South America and the West Indies.

With the Dutch settlement on Manhattan, de Laet added new maps of the Americas, maritime Canada, the eastern seaboard from New England to the Carolinas and of the south east. Each of the regional maps was a landmark in the mapping of that region, with huge influence on the work of the Blaeu and Hondius-Janssonius families, and subsequent mapmakers, but none more than the New England map, which is ‘of extreme importance’ (Burden), being the first printed map to name Manhattan (as ‘Manbattes’), N. Amsterdam (New York), Noordt Rivier (Hudson River), Suydt Rivier (the Delaware) and to use the name ‘Massachusets’ for the nascent English colony in New England. Also notable is the Americas map which, accurately and contrary to most maps of the period, does not show California as an island.

The number of regulars and militia, which were ordered to town upon this occasion, made it necessary to form encampments ... The novelty of such spectacles in London, together with their excellent bands of music ... naturally captivated the multitude ... The officers of every rank seemed to vie with each other in attention to their numerous visitors; not only inviting them, though strangers, into their markee’s, but entertaining them also (the ladies particularly), with a variety of refreshments. Indeed it is universally acknowledged that the gentlemen of the army take the lead of all others in acts of politeness, not only in Great Britain, but every part of Europe.’

A rare broadside published in North America, showing how unarmed American prisoners of war were shot by British soldiers who feared a mass escape. The war had been over for three months by April and the 6500 American sailors, soldiers and privateers were anxious to be released and undoubtedly restless and troublesome. However the massacre, which killed seven men and wounded another thirty-one caused understandable outrage in North America. Ironically some 450 of the American prisoners were black and they repeatedly refused passage on any ship sailing for the southern states, preferring the privations of prison to the horrors of slavery.

George Fox, the Younger, 'religious writer, was born in Charsfield, Suffolk. He served in the parliamentary army, but there is no firm evidence to support the claim that he was a Leveller despite his seeming awareness of their views. As a result of George Whitehead's testimony at Mendlesham, Suffolk, in 1654, he became a Quaker and was known as ‘the younger’—in ‘truth’ rather than in age—to distinguish him from his famous namesake, to whom he was probably unrelated' (Oxford DNB).

Fox was a prolific writer, composing at least twenty-eight tracts, mostly between 1659 and mid-1661. Frequently imprisoned Fox was once again in the gatehouse at Westminster, in January 1661 from where this epistle and other works were written, and some published.

The History of Nathan’s as theatrical costumiers dates back to the beginning of the 19th century when they were known as a ‘masquerade warehouse and fancy costumiers’. The business rapidly expanded and by 1845 the firm could adopt the more official sounding title of ‘L. & H. Nathan, Court & Theatrical Costumiers and Fancy Dress Makers’. From 1860 to 1880 Nathan’s specialised in providing costumes for the amateur theatricals and the tableaux vivants that were so popular with Victorian hostesses. In 1886 the firm opened the amateur novelty theatre in order to establish a centre for amateur productions. It was in the 1880s that the firm’s involvement with professional theatre began, first with the production of Patience by Gilbert & Sullivan in 1881. Provenance: From the Nathan family.

Inscribed ‘To John Clare from his friend Fras. Simpson Jr., November 1828’.

Frank Simpson was the eldest son of Alderman Francis Simpson of Stamford.

He was a skilled amateur artist with an interest in the antiquarian, and particularly in church architecture. In fact Simpson was at the forefront of the renewed appreciation of church architecture which generated a powerful interest in ecclesiology in the first half of the nineteenth century. He was a close friend of John Clare, whose correspondence contains numerous references to their friendship and a number of letters to Simpson. Sometime around 1826 or 1827 the two of them took a trip into the Lincolnshire fens to visit Crowland. During their visit Simpson made a drawing of the ruined abbey, and Clare wrote a sonnet entitled “Crowland Abbey” which was first published in ‘The Literary Souvenir’ for 1828 and was subsequently printed in Clare’s last book, ‘The Rural Muse’ in 1835.

G.E. Comerford Casey, with the author’s best wishes’, orig. green cloth, a little rubbed, 8vo A Wallace rarity, this economics volume is probably his least known work, and was written out of his personal experiences of bad and careless speculative investments in the 1870s. Wallace himself wrote in the preface: ‘The present work was written last March, in competition for the Pears prize of one hundred guineas for the best essay on the present depression of trade. It did not obtain the prize, and it is therefore now submitted to the judgment of the public - and more especially of the working classes, with some additional matter in the earlier chapters which could not be compressed within the limits assigned to the competing essays’ (p. vii). George Edward Comerford Casey (1845-1912) was born in Wavertree, Liverpool, and christened George Edwards Casey. He took a BA and MA at Lincoln College, Oxford, was was later elected both a Fellow of the Georgraphical Society (1878) and of the Linnaean Society (1879). A clergyman and schoolmaster he wrote several books on various subjects; the one noted natural history book being ‘Popular Notes on the Natural History of the Riviera’, first published in 1893 and reprinted as ‘Riviera Nature Notes: A Popular Account of the More Conspicuous Plants and Animals of the Riviera and the Maritime Alps’ in 1903. The Wallace Letters Online project at the Natural History Museum, London, indicates a closeness between the Casey and Wallace families and their children, though none of these letters are from before 1895.

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.
