In this book, Adanson proclaimed his contempt for Linneaen systems. Adanson had been sent to Senegal in 1748 to catalogue the natural resources of the country. “The bewildering diversity of tropical vegetation made the systems of classification proposed by Tournefort and Linnaeus appear pitifully inadequate, based as they had been on the wild flora of Europe and a limited number of cultivated plants...he concluded that, by making a large limited number of systems and then putting together those plants which belonged together in the greatest number of systems without attaching greater importance to one set of characters than another, he could make one generally satisfactory natural system” (Hunt Cat., Introduction, pp. xcii-xciii).

15 BOUGUER, Pierre (1698-1758). Essai d’optique, sur la gradation de la lumiere. Paris: Claude Jombert, 1729. 12mo (160 x 97 mm). 3 folding engraved plates, initial blank, errata and publisher’s catalogue at end. (Minor marginal toning to some gutters, occasional spots.) Contemporary calf (rebacked preserving original spine and endpapers, upper fore-corners worn). Provenance: Ferguson of Raith (armorial bookplate). FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST TREATISE ON PHOTOMETRY. As the discoverer of a practical method of measuring the intensity of light, Bouguer was the founder of this branch of optics. A youthful prodigy who established himself early in life as the leading French authority on nautical matters, Bouguer merely dabbled in optics as a hobby. Nevertheless, the Essai contains two fundamental contributions to the subject. The first was his method of using the naked eye «not as a meter but as a null indicator, i.e., to establish the equality of brightness of two adjacent surfaces» (DSB), and then applying Kepler’s law of inverse squares. His second discovery concerned the transmission of light through transparent surfaces: “In a medium of uniform transparency the light remaining in a collimated beam is an exponential function of the length of its path in the medium. This law was restated by J. H. Lambert in his Photometria (1760) and, perhaps because of the great rarity of copies of Bouguer›s Essai, is sometimes unjustifiably referred to as Lambert’s law” (op. cit.). Norman 283.

FIRST EDITION of Evelyn’s translation. “The preface to the work strikes a new note in English architectural theory. The true model of architecture resides in antiquity, but not all examples of antique architecture are now considered worthy of imitation. The essential can be grasped only after painstaking study and analysis of the originals, and a firm rejection of all distortions and developments. This meant, in effect, that only the Greek models were to be upheld” (Millard).

56 [MANUSCRIPT—SURVEYING]. GAMBU, André (1647-1718). A bound volume of land surveys of the lands in Aiserey and Brazey-en-Plaine in the Côte-d’Or region, for the Monastery of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon. [Dijon, 1702]. 6 leaves (text), folio (ca 355 by 227mm). 9 folding ink and watercolor surveys, with detailed identifications notated in a neat cursive hand. (Final plan with a little wear at fold.) Bound in stiff boards covered in reused vellum manuscript, with manuscript cover label on paper (covers bowed with some wear). Born in Mâcon, André Gambu was the office surveyor for water and forests in Dijon. In this capacity and in a private capacity, he produced many estate plans, for individuals and secular and ecclesiastical institutions: more than fifty have been identified in the public and private collections kept in the Departmental Archives of the Côte d’Or. According to the cover label and preliminary text, this work was done for the Monastery of St. Benigne in Dijon around 9 October 1702. This appears to be a livraison of a larger series comprising their lands.

57 [MANUSCRIPTS – WORLD WAR I]. “Mitrailleuse Vickers.” France, [early 20th century]. 8 leaves, 12mo (143 x 93 mm). In French. Finely drawn in black ink on onionskin throughout, one page text, 11 pages diagrams, including 4 doublepage and one with a fold-out. (Staining to outer margins from adhesive.) Contemporary marbled wrappers, hand-lettered title on label on front wrapper (endleaf becoming disbound). The text leaf provides a name and description of each component of the Vickers machine gun, with numbers corresponding to the finely detailed diagrams which follow. The Vickers gun was originally produced for the British Army, and required a 6- to 8-person team to operate. It was in service from the First World War through the 1960s. France ordered 2,000 Vickers guns in 1914, with another 12,125 issued to the U. S. Army in France. “The Vickers gun accompanied the British Expeditionary Forces to France in 1914, and in the years that followed, proved itself to be the most reliable weapon on the battlefield” (Hogg and Batchelor, Weapons & War Machines, p.62).

FIRST SEPARATE EDITION. The ideas previously expressed in Minkowski’s first paper on space-time did not become widely known until he expanded them the following year. “In this paper ‘Space and Time,’ read by Minkowski in Cologne only a few months before his death, he introduced the notion that made possible the expansion of the relativity theory of Einstein from its specific to its general form. The technical description of Minkowski’s hypothesis is the four-dimensional space-time continuum... Minkowski maintained that the separation of time and space is a false conception; that time is itself a dimension, comparable to length, breadth and height; and that therefore the true conception of reality was constituted by a space-time continuum possessing these four dimensions…” PMM 401.

Torelli’s De nihilo geometrico presents a new basis for infinitesimal analysis, which had been started but not exhaustively treated by Newton and Leibniz. His rejection of the concept of limits and his support of the ideas of Bernard Nieuwentijt against Leibniz caused his work to be largely ignored in modern times. Riccardi II, 538.

FIRST EDITION of this rare work on algae, mosses and ferns. FROM THE LIBRARY OF WILLIAM WITHERING. Although best known for his pioneer work on use of extracts of foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) to treat dropsy (edema), a condition associated with heart failure, Withering was also an avid enthusiast in the identification and classification of lichens, algae and mosses. He kept lichen among his herbarium, and enumerated 118 species in genus Lichen in his Botanical Arrangement of all the Vegetables Naturally Growing in Great Britain, published in 1776. Withering was meticulous, almost obsessional, in his observation and recording of plants. His work on the flowering plants was largely derived from others, but on the algae and agarics he broke new ground. AN IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION COPY.

91 ALBERTI, Leon Battista (1404-1472). De re aedificatoria. Florence: Nicolaus Laurentii Alamanus, 29 December 1485. Folio (262 x 187 mm). Collation: a-d8 e6

f-o8 p6 q-z8 &8 Ɔ8♃8 (a1r blank, a1v dedication to Lorenzo de’Medici, a2r text,

♃7v colophon, ♃8r verse to the reader by

“Baptista siculus,” ♃8v registrum). 204 leaves, 34 lines. Type: 111Rb. 6- and 7-line initial spaces with printed guide- letters. (Small mostly marginal worm-holes to ca 55 leaves at beginning and end occasionally touching letters, mostly marginal spotting.) 20th-century red morocco gilt (some light wear, a few sheets trimmed affecting marginal annotations). Provenance: Marginal annotations in a Renaissance hand; numerous spurious marginal notes and diagrams in a later “Leonardesque” styled hand in mirror-writing and with diagrams based on his codices (see below); William Marquess of Lothian (armorial bookplate); Emil Richter, Berliner Museum (note in ink on recto of ff.1, see below); acquired by a private individual in 1951; by descent to present owner. FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST PRINTED TREATISE ON ARCHTECTURE, presumed earlier setting, with the last quire set in Roman letter as throughout (not Nerlius, see BMC). According to Fowler, Alberti began work on his treatise in the middle of the 15th-century and enhanced and revised the work until his death in 1472. Some thirteen years later, his work was published due to the efforts of his brother. Alberti, who was architect of several important Renaissance buildings including the Basilica of San Sebastiano and Sant’Andrea in Mantua, and the Santa Maria Novella and the Rucellai Palace in Florence, based his work, based on Vitruvius’s De Architectura, is divided into ten books describing the building of palaces and churches, and describing materials, construction, and ornament for sacred and secular buildings, as well as a section devoted to the restoration of buildings. “In accordance with classical principles, the principal elements of architecture are defined as beauty and ornament. Beauty is essentially harmony, the correct proportions of the parts” Alberti considers architecture not only for ecclesiastical purposes or private patrons, but for the first time particularly as a civic activity. His book includes a scheme for building a whole new town, the earliest printed example of town planning” (PMM). With spurious marginal annotations and drawings in brown in a “Leonardesque” hand on 8 leaves (occurring on ff. 7r, 21v, 30v, 44v, 76v, 131r, 164r and 203v), the last being signed “Leonardo da Vinci.” A 24 April 1924 note in German from Emil Richter, the Berliner Museum, describes the annotations as being in the hand of Leonardo da Vinci (“kamm ich Betätigen dass diselben in eigener Hand von Leonardo da Vinci sind”). Though the handwriting and method of writing do bear some similarity to that of Leonardo (including the use of mirror-writing), the drawings, including a partial sketch of a hygrometer, are apparently copied from known examples by Leonardo, and the inscriptions are possibly later.

FIRST EDITION, containing the first printings of three of Coleridge’s most celebrated poems. Coleridge began writing “Christabel” as early as 1803. “Kubla Khan,” which Coleridge composed one night after he experienced an opium-influenced dream in 1797, could not be completed according to his original plan; while writing, Coleridge was interrupted by “a person from Porlock,” and the interruption caused him to forget the lines. He would read the poem periodically to the Wordsworths, Lord Byron, and other friends, and in April 1816, Byron persuaded him to publish the visionary Kubla Khan and Christabel.

“Everything that has been good in my life began here.” – May 9, 1982 –

E

ureka College, a small liberal arts college in central Illinois, was founded by abolitionists and members of the Christian Church in 1855. The College was chartered by an act of the

Illinois Legislature on February 6, which is also, coincidentally, Ronald Reagan’s birthdate. At the time of its founding, it was the first college in Illinois and the third in the nation to accept men and women on an equal basis. Ronald Reagan attended Eureka College from 1928 until his graduation in 1932, where he earned a degree in Economics and Sociology. He was very active during his four years at Eureka College: he played football; participated with the swim team as an athlete, coach, and lifeguard; was a cheerleader for the basketball team; belonged to both a dramatic fraternity and the Tau Kappa Epsilon men’s fraternity; wrote for the campus newspaper, the Pegasus; edited the Prism, the campus yearbook; and served as senior class president. Following his graduation, Reagan closely associated with his alma mater, serving as commencement speaker and honorary doctor of humane letters degree recipient in 1957, and again in 1982, on the 50th anniversary of his own graduation. He returned to dedicate Melick Library in 1967, and returned in 1970 with his brother Neil to dedicate the Reagan Physical Education Center in 1970. He also served three terms as a college Trustee (1947-1953, 1967-1973, 1974-1980). Eureka College has proudly celebrated its connection to Ronald Reagan. The Ronald W. Reagan Leadership Program, established by Reagan and the college in 1982, offers scholarships and mentorships to academically gifted students who demonstrate strong leadership potential. The Reagan Museum on Eureka’s campus contains the largest collection of Reagan materials outside of the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, most of which were donated by Reagan. The Mark R. Shenkman Reagan Research Center contains over 800 Reagan-related books, dissertations and movies. Eureka is also home to the Reagan Peace Garden, dedicated by his daughter Maureen in 2000, which features a piece of the Berlin wall, and a bronze bust of the former president emblazoned with a quote from Reagan’s 1982 Commencement Address: “Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with conflict by peaceful means.” Many of the books in the sale were given by President Reagan to Eureka College in 1988 as Reagan was completing his final year of his presidency. Appearing throughout in maroon are quotes from Reagan’s diaries, speeches and published works.

Original quarter cloth (a few minor stains); dust jacket. FIRST EDITION. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY AMBROSE: “For President Ronald Reagan With respect Sincerely S.E. Ambrose.” American historian Ambrose is best known for his biographies of Presidents Nixon and Eisenhower. Ambrose was the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professor of War and Peace during the 1970-1971 academic year at Kansas State University, but ultimately left his teaching position after heckling President Nixon during a speech there. Despite his criticism of President Nixon, most consider this biography to be an evenhanded and reliable depiction of President Nixon. According to Ambrose, “history will remember Reagan as the first Cold War president to preside over eight years of unbroken peace… [and] as the president who reversed the decades-old flow of power to Washington. By dismantling some federal programs, and reducing others, he forced the states and the cities to assume more responsibility for running their own shows. If he failed to break the Democratic hold on Congress, he did force the Democratic Party to move to the right.” Property from the Private Library of President Ronald Reagan, sold to benefit his alma mater, Eureka College $400 - 600

Later edition. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY BUCKLEY on slip tipped in: “Ron and … er, ….. uh… ERA! -Affectionately, Bill.” In this collection of essays, Buckley recalls his debate against Governor Reagan over the Panama Canal treaty in January 1978 when the Governor Reagan called Buckley ahead of time to tell him he would be kind to him in the debate “as he would any friend of his suffering temporarily from a minor aberration” and that Reagan did not “in other words, plan to send the Marines after me. Perhaps he is saving them to dispatch to Panama” (p. 229). However, President Reagan and Buckley often agreed on topics. Buckley noted in a 1973 episode of the Firing Line that the lack of support for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was not “by sexist males but by women, many of whom on second blush are discovering in the amendment implications they regard as inimical to the best interests of American women.” Similarly, President Reagan eventually opposed the ERA before announcing his 1976 presidential candidacy, stating: “I do not believe that a simple amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment, is the answer to the problem. I think that it opens a Pandora’s Box, and could in fact militate against the very things that women are asking for.” The ERA was not ratified, despite a disputed extension.

PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY BUCKLEY TO THE REAGANS on slip tipped in: “For Ronald and Nancy Reagan -Devotedly, Bill.” From 1966-1999, Buckley hosted Firing Line, the longest-running public affairs show with a single host in American television history. Buckley recounts the time when President Reagan called to congratulate him on the 15th anniversary of Firing Line during the celebrations: “…the (freshly inaugurated) President was on the line, and of course it was a technological fiasco. President Reagan began by greeting me and the program… But the result of the neat little scheme of pushing the telephone up against the mike was that the President couldn’t hear my replies and the audience couldn’t hear his voice, so the colloquy dissolved in a blue of congratulations and reciprocal compliments” (pp. 19-20). The conservativism Buckley championed peaked in the 1980s with the election of President Ronald Reagan, Buckley’s longtime friend. Buckley boasted that “the [National Review] was conceived as a vehicle for responsible thought, and it has been exactly that, playing a not insignificant role… in its influence on chartersubscriber Ronald Reagan” (p. 29).

PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY BUCKLEY: “For Ronald Reagan -With cordial regards, Bill Buckley.” In his introduction, political theorist and conservative Russell Amos Kirk describes Buckley’s “concerted assault on the fallacies of a decadent age” as a “sturdy thread to lead [Americans] through the Minoan labyrinth of political and literary controversy in the times of Eisenhower and Kennedy” (p. 11). In a 1967 interview on Firing Line, Buckley questions then Governor Reagan about whether it is possible to be a good governor when the federal government is so involved in economics. Reagan’s reply summarizes the tenets of Reaganomics: “I know I am accused of oversimplifying, but it doesn’t make sense to me for the federal government to take that money first and insist that the only solution to our local problems is for them to take the money and then they dispense it back to you in grants in which they tell you how to spend it.” Property from the Private Library of President Ronald Reagan, sold to benefit his alma mater, Eureka College $300 - 400

His sentiments are echoed by contributors throughout.

Safire was Nixon’s speechwriter, and notably contributed an ad to Reagan’s 1980 campaign attacking Jimmy Carter.

In Reagan’s 1982 Commencement Address at Eureka College, he recalled: “Now, I know there are differences between the Eureka College of 1932 and the Eureka of 1982, but I’m also sure that in many ways -- important ways -- Eureka remains the same….So, take my word for it. As the years go by, you’ll be amazed at how fresh the memory of these years will remain in your minds, how easily you can relive the very emotions that you experienced. The Class of ‘32 has no yearbook to record our final days on the campus. The Class of ‘33 didn’t put out a Prism because of the hardships of that Great Depression era. The faculty sometimes went for months on end without pay. And yet this school made it possible for young men and women, myself included, to get an education even though we were totally without funds, our families destitute victims of the Depression.” (Please note that Eureka College also retains copies of Reagan’s yearbooks, donated by him, in the Reagan Museum.)

“This was the day. We helicoptered to Ballyporeen in Co. Tipperary. This was the home of my great grandfather who left there for America… I went with Father Condon to see old Father Murphy keeper of the baptismal records. There I saw the hand written entry of Michael Reagans baptism in 1829. We then crossed the street to the church where the baptism had taken place. We walked thru the town shaking hands with as many people as we could on our way to the Pub that has been named for me.” (Sunday, June 3, 1984) 90

In his introduction to the first English edition of the second part, Bunyan notes: “’Tis in New-England under such advance Receives there so much loving countenance. The remarkable advance in the value of early editions of the Pilgrim’s Progress, within the last few years, and the difficulty of obtaining copies of editions before at least the tenth, attest the permanency of the famous allegory as a world-classic, and of no other classic can it be said that but one copy is known of the first edition.” Evans 5351 (recording the Thomas Fleet imprint); See Sabin 62847.

FIRST EDITION of “one of the best-advertised English books of the period because of the controversy it provoked among the reviewers” (Clark). Faux’s critical review of America stems from his perspective as a British farmer judging whether British farming practices would prosper in the United States. While early reactions to this present work depict Faux’s criticisms as unfair, “on the whole [this work] is as complimentary as it is critical,” and the “American dislike of the book was probably partially due to sensitiveness about any British criticism of American institutions in those postwar years” (Clark). Clark II 202; Howes F-60; Sabin 23933.

FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH of Franklin’s memoirs, first published in an unauthorized French translation in 1791, and then translated back into English for this edition. Though not Franklin’s words exactly, “this account is the epitome of Franklin’s spirit. In it one sees him as a typical though great example of 18th-century enlightenment, a Yankee Puritan who could agree with Rousseau and Voltaire” (Hart 142).

FIRST EDITION. “Though Thomas Stephens was the son of William Stephens, who succeeded Oglethorpe as governor of Georgia, he was a leader of what the administration forces called the malcontents. Thomas complains of the prohibition against Negroes and against the transportation of rum, (this latter deprived the colonists of a trade which the New Englanders, especially those from Rhode Island, found very lucrative) and in an Appendix of 101 pages gives various contemporary letters and protests regarding affairs in Georgia” (Streeter Sale 1152).

Second American edition, published in the same year as the first edition with the Charles-town, and with the catchword “mean-” on p.3, and the catchword “of” on p.27, and omitting pp.79-86 from the pagination. De Renne, Howes and Sabin suggest that this is possibly a London imprint, although Church considers it to be a genuine Charleston imprint and of great typographical importance and rarity. The collation of the present copy conforms with the Hoe and Streeter copies. Tailfer’s pamphlet constitutes a forceful critique of General James Oglethorpe and the Georgia government. Talifer was the leader of an outspoken group of malcontents in Savannah who were driven out of the colony by Oglethorpe and took refuge in Charleston in 1740. “The most interesting of all books about Georgia written in the colonial period, for attack is almost always more interesting than praise. The authors...give here their account of what they felt to be Oglethorpe’s despotism. The work is a masterpiece of invective and one of the cornerstones of the historical literature of Georgia” (Streeter Sale 1147).

Guide for Prospective Sellers and Buyers GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE SELLERS Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 312.280.1212 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Hindman LLC and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary. Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for less than $5,001, with a minimum commission of $75 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Hindman LLC, you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price. Shipping Arrangements Hindman LLC can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Hindman LLC and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions. Appraisals Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.334.4232 for further information.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Conditions of Sale All bidders with Hindman LLC must read and agree to Conditions of Sale posted in this catalogue prior to bidding at an auction. Viewing Auction Items It is highly recommended that all prospective bidders either view the sale via our online catalogue or contact Hindman LLC for further images or to schedule an appointment to view objects in person. Estimates Hindman LLC provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision. Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

Live Bid Online Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale.

Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend an auction, you may place an absentee bid, either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue.

Absentee bids are always confidential, and bids are executed at the lowest price possible by the auctioneer according to reserves and competing bids. Telephone Bidding You may register telephone bid requests either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue.

Conditions of Sale These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction. A. BEFORE THE AUCTION 1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot. 2. CONDITION The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report. 3. VIEWING LOTS We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge. If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping purposes. 4. ESTIMATES Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges. 5. WITHDRAWAL We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw. B. REGISTERING TO BID 1. GENERAL We reserve the right to reject any bid. By participating in the sale, you represent and warrant that: (a) The bidder and/or purchaser is not subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or any other restriction on trade in the jurisdiction in which it does business as well as under the laws and regulations of the United States, and is not owned (nor partly owned) or controlled by such sanctioned person(s) (collectively, “Sanctioned Person(s)”); (b) Where you are acting as agent, your principal is not a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by Sanctioned Person(s); and (c) The bidder and/or purchaser undertakes that none of the purchase price will be funded by any Sanctioned Person(s), nor will any party be involved in the transaction including financial institutions, freight forwarders or other forwarding agents or any other party be a Sanctioned Person(s) nor owned (or partly owned) or controlled by a Sanctioned Person(s), unless such activity is authorized in writing by the government authority having jurisdiction over the transaction or in applicable law or regulation. 2. NEW BIDDERS New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity. (a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s

(c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid. 3. RETURNING BIDDERS If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction. 4. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal. 5. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction. 6. OUR BIDDING SERVICES We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services.

If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids. 7. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a temporary authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 2 to 7 days. C. DURING THE AUCTION 1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION (a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion.

2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1). 3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller. If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at a set increment lower than the lot’s low estimate and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold. 4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges. Please note that Hindman will not accept payments for purchased lots from any party other than the purchaser, unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and Hindman prior to the sale. D. AFTER THE AUCTION 1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots, we charge twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $400,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $400,001 up to and including $4,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $4,000,001. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium. 2. TAXES The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required. 3. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date. (b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name. (c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways: (i) Wire transfer. (ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed. (iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us. (iv) Credit card: Credit card payments may not exceed $10,000 and a

122 F I N E P R I N T E D B O O K S & M A N U S C R I P T S , I N C L U D I N G A M E R I C A N A

convenience fee of 3% will be added to each credit card payment. (v) ACH Bank Transfer (d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1338 West Lake Street, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department. 4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you. 5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse. 6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion: (a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due. (b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation. (c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount. (d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law. (e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller. (f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids. (g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us. (h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate. 7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE (a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction. We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping. (b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate. (c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot. (d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6). 8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES (a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot. (b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be


responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife. E. WARRANTIES 1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void. 2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows: (a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction. After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty. (b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type. (c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified. “Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty. (d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice. (e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion. (f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot. (g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else. (h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must (i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale. (i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. (j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances: (a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms: (i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalog as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale. (ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale. (iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void. 4. JEWELRY (a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time. (b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report. (c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report. (d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. 5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS (a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys. (b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. (d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap. 6. YOUR WARRANTIES You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money

F O R A D D I T I O N A L I M A G E S A N D L O T D E TA I L S V I S I T H I N D M A N A U C T I O N S . C O M 123


laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes. F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU (a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties. (b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale. (c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. (d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services. (e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot. (f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses. G. OTHER TERMS 1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation. 2. RECORDINGS We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction. 3. COPYRIGHT We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights. 4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected. 5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES You may not grant a security over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities. 6. PERSONAL INFORMATION We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com.

7. WAIVER No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. 8. LAW AND DISPUTES This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of Illinois. You and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Illinois, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute. The arbitration shall be confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce a judgment or where disclosure is required by law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on all parties involved. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. This arbitration and any proceedings conducted hereunder shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code and by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958.
