The crews of the ships suffered greatly from scurvy, and many men were lost from this cause and from the unhealthy climate of Java, where a protracted stay was made. The expedition made several important contributions to geographical knowledge, and the investigations of the naturalists into the productions of countries visited were of special value.” (Ferguson).

In this edition, thus favourably noticed by Kilburne, the work of correction begun in the folio Cambridge Bible of 1629 was carried further. The revisers took special pains to render uniform the use of italics; and they also introduced a certain number of new readings: e.g. Matt. xii. 23, Is not this the sonne of David? (for Is this ...), and 1 John v. 12 ... hath not the Sonne of God (of God added). Here ﬁrst occurs the famous reading in Acts vi. 3, ... whom ye may appoint (for ... whom we ... ). This alteration has often been ascribed to the Puritans, and was reputed to have cost Cromwell a bribe of £1000; yet here it is found as early as 1638, in a Bible prepared under the royal sanction. This remained the standard text until the publication of Dr. Paris’ Cambridge edition of 1762. (Herbert/ Darlow & Moule) (2) £300 - £500

An annotated edition of the Bible, prepared by Peter William (1722-1796), a Welsh Calvinistic Methodist, famous as an itinerant preacher. This is not only the earliest Welsh Bible issued with a commentary, but the ﬁrst edition of the Bible printed in Wales. The prohibitions of the Bible-patent apparently did not apply to texts with a commentary. In 1766 Peter William began to prepare his commentary, taking as his model the English Bible, and in the same year a prospectus was issued. The work was sold in instalments, each part costing 1s., and the publication extended over four years, 1767-70. The Old Testament and the New Testament, with metrical Psalms appended, were comprised in ﬁfteen parts, of which 8,600 copies were printed. The Apocrypha were printed last, and in a smaller number, the purchase of this section being at the subscriber’s option: hence some copies omit the Apocrypha. The price of the complete work was £1. This Bible was printed for the editor by John Ross, of Carmarthen, a Scotsman who had learnt Welsh and become an active printer and publisher of Welsh books. The earliest appearance of his imprint is 1763, and it occurs as late as 1807. (1) £150 - £250

COSTUME, EMBLEM & EARLY PRINTED BOOKS THE COLLECTION OF DONALD & MONIQUE KING

Donald and Monique King Donald King (1920 – 1998) and Monique King (1922 – 2020) were outstanding textile historians of international repute. Donald is considered the founding father of textile studies in England. He studied History of Art at the Courtauld Institute and in 1949 joined the Victoria and Albert Museum as Assistant Keeper in the Department of Textiles, becoming Keeper in 1972 until his retirement in 1980. He was President of the Centre Internationale d’Etude des Textiles Anciens from 1977 to 1992. His many publications include sections in the three-volume work on British Textile Design in the Victoria and Albert Museum (1980) and the magisterial Catalogue of European Textiles in the Keir Collection 400 BC – 1800 AD, co-authored with Monique. His expertise was central to exhibitions such as the legendary Opus Anglicanum (Arts Council, 1963) and The Eastern Carpet in the Western World (Arts Council, 1983). He contributed regularly to Hali Magazine with articles on Ottoman kaftans, Islamic silks, medieval tapestries, Coptic textiles, textile conservation and research. Monique Toury, as she then was, studied at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris and subsequently worked at the Louvre and at the Musée de Cluny. Donald and Monique met when Monique travelled to London on a British Council study visit and they married in 1957. She collaborated with Donald on many of his publications and also wrote articles in her own right on needlework, silks and tapestries. She was a founder member of the Centre Internationale d’Etude des Textiles Anciens and editor of their publications for many years. This collection of books was bequeathed to Donald by his colleague John Lea Nevinson (1904 – 1986), an eminent dress and textile historian.

There are no ownership marks in the second work, a reprint of the 1514 edition, and it is impossible to say whether this also belonged to Desportes, the works seemingly bound some time after his death.

No location found. The broadside provides a detailed narrative of the events leading up to and after the execution, “Giving a particular account of her applying to her father to give his consent for her to marry a young man with whom she was deeply in love, and on her father’s refusal she formed the horrid resolution of murdering him... At our late Assizes came on a very singular trial, that of a young woman for the murder of her own father. It appeared she kept company with a young man at Pershore Mill, where they both resided; he was by trade a wood turner, and she a farmer’s daughter. They were very fond of each other, and the day was appointed for their marriage, and the wedding ring was bought. She thought it her duty to acquaint her father with her intentions; but instead of ﬁnding him agreeable to her wishes, he was quite the reverse, and declared that if she did marry him she would never have a shilling of his money... The night of the horrid deed, she took care to mix his liquor stronger than usual, to make him sleep sounder, and when he had retired to bed ... and gone to sleep, she entered the room, and with a shape knife nearly separated his head from his body... The next morning she alarmed the neighbours, saying the house was robbed and her father murdered... The following day the daughter was found to vary in her accounts which she gave respecting her father going to bed, to one she would say he was drunk, and to another he was sober. One of the neighbours having occasion to go into the daughter’s bedroom, found a handkerchief in the corner of the room very bloody; this being mentioned, and the different accounts she had given of her father, caused a suspicion to arise that she was not wholly innocent of the murder, when she was taken into custody, and she confessed the above facts. She was accordingly brought to trial... The judge immediately pronounced sentence of death upon her, to be executed, and her body to be given to the surgeons for dissection... She had received a good education by the liberality of an uncle, by the mother’s side. Her mother died about two years ago, at which time she was called home to take care of her father’s house. The following letter was found in her bosom after her execution, which shews how sincerely she was attached to the object of her wishes. Copy of a letter to her sweetheart. Dear James, The sad hour is near at hand when I must suffer (and justly suffer) for a crime which I have committed by loving you. I hope God will forgive me my offences. Had my father given consent to our union, we should have been happy, but by his refusal he has met his death by my hands, and brought myself to an untimely death. God bless you and may you be happy. Mary Cooke.” (1) £300 - £400

ESTC T228549. One location only (British Library). This is the earliest recorded piece of printing from Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, and the printer Leverett is otherwise unknown. A lengthy broadside handbill for an 18th century dancing master, asserting the value of dance to all branches of human achievement and offering instruction in virtually all the arts and sciences. Towle, based in Coventry but obviously itinerant, here offers tutoring by the fortnight or quarter. The key to life, in his view, is the ability to dance, “No man can be well prepared in any sort of genteel trades, professions, sicances [i.e. sciences], employments, servitudes, music, the army, or navy, unless they can dance exceedingly well; dancing will make make a man stand and walk, and look, and speak well; to be courteous, and civil, obliging, and complaisant, and genteel, and of a ﬁne forgiving merciful disposition ... I have known and heard of persons who as been good dancers, to advance themselves from a Quirsiter to a Bishop, from a Private Man to a General, from a Cabinboy to a Admiral ... dancing gives a person a easy looking and speaking, to his superiors and inferiors, it takes off those slow and effeminately proud deluding look that some of the sectary make of ... in short dancing is the very greatest support to trades and manufactures of all sorts, and professions of every kind that can be mention’d, and all those sort of persons who has any thing to say against dancing are enemies to the whole community &c.” Through Towle’s training a boy of twelve can be brought to expertise with the gun and sword in 12 months, “he will prepare a person that must go to sea, to understand the use of the sails upon any sort of vessel, beginning at a scull or oar, up to a ﬁrst rate man of war”; likewise he professes expertise in 20 musical instruments, and undertakes concerts, balls and assemblies on request. He will give instruction in “all sorts of English, French, Italion [sic], and Flemish, slow and quick dances”, but prefers the English forms “The English dances that he teaches, is ten thousand times preferable to all the foreign-dances” and are useful “in the single-stick, quarter-staff, broad-sword, small-sword, wrestling, boxing, running, jumping, swimming, ringing, and horsemanship of all sorts, painting, drawing, stageplayers of all sorts, music, surgery, in ev’ry circumstance of fraction and dislocation, &c.” Christopher Towle’s home establishment was a ladies boarding school in Coventry, where he offered “Needle-work, spelling and reading, at 12.l. 12.s. per year ... music, dancing, writing, French, and drawing, at usual prices to be paid for separately.” (1) £500 - £800

143* Buckley (Cecil W., 1830-1872). British Royal Navy Captain, Victoria Cross winner for his actions on board HMS Miranda in the Crimea on 29th May 1855. A rare illustrated Autograph Letter Signed, ‘C W Buckley’, off Lisbon, 7-10 January 1847, to his mother, Buckley sends news of his journey from Malta to Gibraltar and informs her that they shall soon be at anchor with the rest of the fleet under Admiral Parker, explaining that Christmas Day was spent at sea (‘we were upon salt provisions as all our fresh stores had been long exhausted, however we had as jolly a one as the circumstances would permit, being in a heavy gale at the time, and the ship strained by our heavy guns leaking like a sieve’) and continuing to remark ‘You will think me very expensive writing on gilt edged paper, but this is only a borrowed sheet as I am out of writing paper. At Gibraltar one of my mess mates, a midshipman whose leave was stopped in consequence of his having run into debt took it into his head to run away from us, and about six months ago a Clerk cut his lucky at Smyrna. These circumstances will add very much to the bad name which the ship already has. You have no idea what a dreadful name she has on this station. A person belonging to her is quite looked upon with compassion by people in other ships, and we believe the reason that we are now joining the Admiral is that a Court of Enquiry may be held on the Captain on account of the great number of punishments which have taken place in her’, Buckley also describes the ship as being a splendid corvette and fast sailer, and continues with news that their Captain is to be tried by a Court Martial rather than the Court of Enquiry he supposed, further briefly referring to some skirmishes, his view of Lisbon from the river, a sighting of several Portuguese Men of War and, in concluding the letter, his hopes that his Captain will be acquitted (‘From what I hear there is not much against him; the greater part of the blame rests on the last 1st Lieutenant who left six months ago’), to the head of the first page Buckley has drawn a fine pen and ink sketch of HMS Amazon at sea, a few neat splits at the edges of folds and some light age wear, 3 pages (the final page cross-written), 4to

Both decrees were issued in order to attempt to gain control of existing militia forces and to raise further troops. The Commission of Array issued by the king thus sought to muster a Royalist army at the onset of the English Civil War. Commissioners were appointed for each county, generally from leading members of the local aristocracy and gentry who might be assumed to wield great inﬂuence over their feudal tenants and the population in general. The commissioners proceeded to the major population centres and read out in public gatherings the text of their commission. Frequently such innovative royal decrees, uncertain in precedent and purpose, were met with open hostility on the part of the local inhabitants who suspected them as being instruments designed for general suppression of the people. Opponents of the king, whilst playing down the role of the Militia Ordinance in augmenting civil strife, portrayed the Commission of Array as being a sign that it was the king and not Parliament who was the real aggressor in the developing conﬂict. 28 Commissioners of Array were appointed in Devon.

It contains the Experimentum Crucis & has effectually put a stop to the sneers of those little minded Persons who think everything impossible which does not come within the narrow sphere of their own comprehension. I regret that your conﬁrmation of the Fact I had adduced, is not more generally known. You will be surprised to hear that this day before a Committee of the House of Commons, Dr [George] Pearson exalted at having refuted my preposterous supposition respecting the origin of the Cowpox.

Additional conﬁrmation of the horsepox hypothesis was provided by Luigi Sacco, an Italian physician responsible for the early introduction and widespread use of vaccination in Northern Italy. In a letter from Sacco to Jenner, dated 25 March 1803, he explains that after reading the book by John Loy, he was encouraged to continue his own experiments to try to obtain the vaccine from horses with grease.'

Early in the 19th century, European physicians conducted experiments that seemed to confirm the hypothesis that horsepox could protect against smallpox. Because of the relative rarity of cases of spontaneous cowpox, matter obtained from either cowpox or horsepox was interchangeably used in the protection against smallpox. Congruent with the use of the word vaccination, the inoculation from the horse (Lat. equus) was referred to as “equination”.' (p. 7223) 'The first independent evidence in support of a horsepox role in the prevention of smallpox was published in 1801 by John Glover Loy, a Yorkshire physician. Loy described several cases of people who became infected while treating horses suffering from grease or of individuals inoculated with horse matter that had been passaged in cows. Loy reported that the lesions produced had exactly the appearance of genuine cowpox, and in many cases the individuals were shown to be protected from variolation. A most important observation made by Loy was that “two kinds of Grease exist, differing from each other in the power of giving disease to the human or brute animal”, an observation that mirrors Jenner’s description of “true” and of “spurious” cowpox, which could explain the lack of success of some earlier investigators who attempted to equinate. The work of Loy was not in total agreement with Jenner’s original hypothesis which required that the horse matter was first modified by a passage in the cow before it could fully function as a preventative of smallpox. Nevertheless, Jenner considered that Loy’s work “decisively proves (his) early assertions” about the horse origin of vaccinia, although Jenner never again adopted the horsepox theory in his publications.

An important unpublished letter concerning the work of Dr Loy which proved Jenner's view that the origins of cowpox was a disease of horses known as 'grease' (horsepox), and supported the role of horsepox in the prevention of smallpox.

Two pages of autograph notes by Nichols can be found bound in between pp. 270-271 and pp. 272-273. The third part of the printed text (Appendix VIII) is titled Drayton’s Poly-Olbion Cornwall. The first page of the scribal hand begins at page 461. Nichols’ annotations run to approximately 839 words, with a further 170 minor alterations also in his hand. pp. 461- 559 present; pp. 560-599 missing; pp. 600-659 present (the page following 659 returns to page 1 and is headed Leland Itinerary / Vol the Vth), pp. 1–160 present. Volume 4: 680 pages This volume begins on p. 161 and follows on from the previous volume; pp. 161-252 present (p. 253 headed Leland’s Itinerary Vol VI); pp. 253-842 present, (page 842 being the end of the entire Itinerary); pp. 843-859 blank pages previously paginated. The detached inside back cover has also been written on by Nichols (48 words) and bound in at the end of the scribal text. There are many pages (both recto and verso) with pencil annotations (c.100 words) by John Gough Nichols. The verso of page 670 has a passage of notes in his hand (85 words in brown ink) and a separate small sheet placed between pages 361 and 362 (a further 43 words also in ink): a total of 266 words. Although several transcriptions of Leland’s Itinerary were made in the 16th century, notably in 1576 by the historian John Stow (1525-1605), it was only published in 1710-12 by the English diarist and antiquarian Thomas Hearne (1678-1735), with successive editions appearing in 1744/45 and 1768/70. After a lapse of more than a century, Lucy Toulmin Smith (1838-1911) published a new edition of the full Itinerary between 1906 and 1910. The present manuscript, acquired by the current owner in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, represents what can only be determined as an unrealised attempt to publish the Itinerary some time before 1873 (the year of John Gough Nichols’ death) and thus provide what would have been the only 19th-century publication of Leland’s most famous and important work. There is no mention of the manuscript in Memoires of the late John Gough Nichols FSA (1874), nor in the annotated catalogues of the library and manuscripts sold off by Sotheby’s in 1874, and now held by the British Library.

Autograph Letter Signed from Reginald Skelton who served as Chief Engineer and Ofﬁcial Photographer of Scott's Discovery Expedition, Royal Naval Club, Portsmouth, 16 September 1925, to Edward Hilton Young, being a defence of Captain Scott and a blistering attack on Albert Armitage and his book Two Years in the Antarctic which had come out in 1905, Skelton comments, 'It is so ludicrous of Armitage to say that Scott lacked the magnetic personality "to make me follow him in all things" - because there is one thing Armitage would have found it quite impossible to do, that is keep up with Scott on a sledging trip. Scott would do 3 times the distance anytime', dismissing Armitage as 'a poor ﬁsh' and elucidating about Scott's greatness, 'I am not sure I like the word "greatness", - he was better than that, you would not have had [Edward] Wilson following him a second time otherwise', 4 pages, 8vo

Edward Hilton Young, 1st Baron Kennet (1879-1960) married Captain Scott's widow Kathleen in 1922, becoming stepfather to Kathleen's son Peter Scott. Albert Armitage (1864-1943) had fallen out with Scott during the Discovery Expedition. Reginald Skelton (1876-1956) was overlooked as second in command for the Terra Nova expedition, in favour of Edward Evans, and his hostility towards Armitage and spirited defence of Scott is clear evidence of the loyalty Scott inspired in his men.

Stephenson was an enthusiastic supporter of the various Mechanics’ Institutes which had grown up in the northern counties. As early as 1824 he had presided at a public meeting for the purpose of establishing an Institute in Newcastle, and he became himself a very popular lecturer. Samuel Smiles (Lives of the Engineers, 1861, vol. 3. page 362) describes the effect: ‘On more than one occasion, the author [Smiles] had the pleasure of listening to George Stephenson’s homely but forcible addresses at the annual soirées of the Leeds Mechanics’ Institute. He was always an immense favourite with his audiences there. His personal appearance was greatly in his favour. A handsome, ruddy, expressive face, lit up by bright dark-blue eyes, prepared one for his earnest words when he stood up to speak and the cheers had subsided which invariably hailed his rising. He was not glib, but he was very impressive. ...’ (1) £600 - £800

The ﬁrst work is a presentation copy from the Ashbees to Reverend Muriel Nason, the vicar of Saintbury Church, and his family. The Ashbees switched allegiance from their local church in Chipping Campden to Saintbury Church on the other side of Dover’s Hill after they had scandalised with a bicycle ride to Warwick on the Lord’s Day in June 1902, making it uncomfortable for them to continue regular worship in Chipping Campden. The Ashbees were often invited to lunch by the Reverend Nason after the Sunday service; this presentation copy is thus a ﬁrst Christmas present from the Ashbees to their new vicar and his family.

One of 350 copies on paper. Provenance: F.L.M. Griggs, Campden, Gloucestershire, his neat inscription to front endpaper. Etcher, illustrator and architect Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs (1876-1938) was born in Hitchin, Herfordshire, where the neo-Gothic architecture of the newly built chapel he attended with his parents had a lifelong effect on his artistic vision. In 1892 Griggs began work as an architectural draughtsman, later establishing his own studio in Hitchin, and exhibiting his ﬁrst work, an architectural perspective, at the Royal Academy. In 1900 Macmillan & Co. commissioned drawings from Griggs for the Hertfordshire book in their series Highways and Byways. This became his most substantial achievement: over nearly forty years he illustrated twelve volumes of the series, books which demonstrate his technical virtuosity as well as his visionary talents. In 1903 Griggs arrived at Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds, where C.R. Ashbee had established his Guild and School of Handicraft the previous year. The guild’s dedication to the preservation of traditional skills and ideals of craftsmanship, following in the footsteps of William Morris, made a great impression on Griggs. He lived there until 1930, quickly making a name as an illustrator, and as an architect working principally on small-scale projects for Campden friends. His major architectural achievement lay in the war memorials he designed during 1919. These works, done without payment, continue to adorn the Gloucestershire countryside at Broadway, Snowshill, Painswick, and Upton St Leonards, as well as his own Chipping Campden, each designed to be appropriate to its setting and the history of the site.

(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 20% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% 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 20% 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 theAuctioneer 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 lower estimate, 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.
