The slip placed under glass on the lower board is signed by both Lowell Thomas and T.E. Lawrence. Lowell Thomas was the American writer and braodcaster that made “Lawrence of Arabia” a household name. He travelled to the Near East to record the work of General Allenby and Lawrence in the campaign against the Ottoman Empire in Palestine during WWI. Thomas, and his cameraman Harry Chase, spent several weeks in the desert with Lawrence, capturing some dramatic footage. After the war Thomas toured the world with his film, With Allenby in Palestine and Lawrence in Arabia, bringing the work of Lawrence to the international stage. Lawrence hid from the limelight and, eventually, grew to resent Thomas for the success of his show, refering to him as a “vulgar man”. £2,500-3,500 See colour illustration on page 67

In an infamous article in volume XIX (April & December 1818) John Wilson Croker savagely reviewed Endymion and attacked Keats for his association with Leigh Hunt and the so-called Cockney School of poetry. Shelley blamed Croker’s article for bringing about the death of the seriously-ill poet, ‘snuffed out’, in Byron’s ironic phrase, ‘by an article’. £400-600 178 No lot

196 Winsten, Clare — Gandhi, Mahatma & Shaw, George Bernard Oil on canvas, signed by the artist, glazed in a gilt frame, size of image 74 by 100cm, size overall 102 by 129cm Note: The artist Clare Winsten (1894—1989) was a student of Henry Tonks at the Slade School of Art from 1910-12, and part of the generation that included Bomberg, Gertler, and Dora Carrington. She was invited to paint Mahatma Gandhi when he came over to attend the Round Table Conference in 1931. In the forties, as a near neighbour at Ayot St. Lawrence, she painted and drew George Bernard Shaw, who commissioned her sculpture of St. Joan for his garden at Shaw’s corner. A retrospective exhibition of her work was held at the Slade to mark the centenary of her birth in 1994. Winsten was invited to paint Mahatma Gandhi when he came over to attend the Round Table Conference in 1931. This was one of three such conferences organised by the British Government in 1930-32 to discuss the future of India. Gandhi attended in 1931 as the the sole representative of the Indian National Congress. The artist was given free access to Ghandi during his stay at the conference. Various portraits of Ghandi were completed by the artist, it is unsure if the artist completed this particular one at the time of the conference, more than likely sometime after. The artist and Ghandi have been photographed together during a session and the sitter has been known to sign previous portraits for the artist. It is thought this painting was done at a later date, there are no records of Ghandi and Shaw sitting together for a portrait.

BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY OF SPRINGKELL HOUSE, DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY

In the borderlands of Scotland, not far from Gretna, lies the elegant mansion of Springkell. Built for the Maxwell family, proprietors of the Barony of Kirconnel and Springkell since 1609, the original Georgian centre of the house was erected in 1734 and later extended with the addition of the wings in 1818. Francis Groome described it in his Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland (1882-85) as: "a fine Grecian edifice ... with beautiful grounds".

In 1894, Sir John Heron-Maxwell, 6th Bt., sold the property to Sir Jabez Edward Johnson-Ferguson (1849-1929). Born in Salford, Manchester, Sir Jabez was chairman of Jabez Johnson, Hodgkinson & Pearson Ltd. and a director of the mining company Bolckow, Vaughan & Co. Ltd. In 1885 he became the Liberal MP for Loughborough and he was created a Baronet in 1906. The house passed down the generations with its contents fairly intact and still remains in the Johnson-Ferguson family today.

The camp opened in 1942, with the North compound for British servicemen opened in June 1943. The position of the camp was selected in an attempt to prevent escape by tunnelling. However, this camp was the location of two of the war’s most famous escape attempts, potrayed in film in The Wooden Horse and The Great Escape. It is thought that over 600 prisoners worked on the three tunnels - Tom, Dick & Harry - depicted in The Great Escape. Harry was the only tunnel to be completed, the entrance hidden under a stove in Hut 104. Lindsay Greenaway drew a sketch of the tunnel in MacDonald’s log along with the verse “Silently below the surface/ twenty five feet below the floor/ thus the Goons have cause to curse us/ and remember - One-o-Four/ 24-3-43”. Another sketch of MacDonald cobbling in his tartan troos was drawn by Alex Cassie in October 1944. A well known member of the escape team, Cassie worked on the endless list of forged documents required by the escapees. He was portrayed in the film by Donald Pleasance. £2,000-3,000 See illustration on following page 61

Newton opens his study with the sentence: “My design in this book is not to explain properties of light by hypotheses, but to propose and prove them by reason and experiments.” Because of Newton’s reliance on scientific method, Opticks remained for over a century a work of great authority. The two Treatises of the species and magnitude of curvilinear figures included at the end of the text-Newton’s first printed mathematical papers-were intended to assert his priority over Leibniz in the discovery of the calculus. £10,000-15,000 See colour illustration on page 66

JAMES YOUNG SIMPSON The youngest of eight children, James Young Simpson was born in Bathgate, West Lothian in 1811. Showing obvious promise during hs early education, Simpson’s family funded his advancement to college and he entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of 14. He graduated in 1832 and by the age of 28 he had been appointed Chair of Midwifery at the University of Edinburgh. His contributions to obstetrics during his career were extensive. However, it was his introduction of anaestheia to childbirth that established his career as a pioneer in the field of medicine. In 1847 Simpson discovered the properties of chloroform and its ability to induce sleep during an experiment with friends. Perfecting the dosage of the gas was key to the experiments success - too much would cause the patient to overdose, too little and the patient would remain conscious. Simpson began to use choloform during obstertric procedures, publishing his results in November in his widely acclaimed pamphlet Account of a new anaesthetic agent. Within weeks of this publication chloroform had almost completely replaced ether.

Edinburgh: Sutherland and Knox, 1847. Third thousand, 8vo, presentation copy from the author to Dr. Lyell, ink inscription on title page “Dr. Ly[e]ll with the author’s compts.”, unbound as issued, stab-stitched, ink mark to title; [Idem] Remarks on the superinduction of anaesthsia in natural and morbid

This advancement was not without opposition with some interpreting it as an act against the will of God. However, wider acceptance of Simpson’s efforts came when Queen Victoria used chloroform during the delivery of Prince Leopold in 1853. Full recognition of Simpson’s work followed quickly. He was the first man to be knighted by the Scottish Court of the Lord Lyon, in 1866, for services to medicine. “Victo Dolore” (pain conquered) is the inscription of his coat of arms. Four years later Simpson passed away in his Edinburgh home, aged 58. On the day of his funeral, a Scottish holiday was declared, including the banks and stock markets, with over 100,000 citizens lining the funeral cortege on its way to the cemetery, while over 1,700 colleagues and business leaders took part in the procession itself. The copies on offer are all presentation copies from Simpson to a contemporary of Scottish medicine, Dr. David Lyell. Lyell’s study of medicine at the University of Edinburgh, in the years 1826-1829, would have crossed with that of Simpson. After graduation Lyell took up a post in Berkshire, returning to Scotland in 1834 to open a medical practice in Dundee.

(2) We shall, as agent for the seller and on their behalf pursue these rights and remedies only as far as is reasonable to make appropriate recovery in respect of breach of these Conditions 9. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security arrangements.

While prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer or our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.

(2) If a vendor wishes to withdraw a catalogued lot, a withdrawal fee will apply at the auctioneer’s discretion; this will be charged at 10% mid estimate. 15. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) While we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements

by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents or the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”. (2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 16. FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer's premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale. GENERAL 17. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. 18 (1) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate. (2). Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them. 19. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. 20. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue. 21. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 22. Scottish law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
