MANUSCRIPTS 92 FE317/1 Battle of Trafalgar A letter from a midshipman ‘Robinson’, on board the Mars, written to his mother (Mrs Robinson of Clermiston at Number 2 Nile Street, Edinburgh), eight days after the action at the Battle of Trafalgar, describing the battle and his part in it, as well as a copy of the letter sent by Admiral Collingwood following Nelson’s death, 4 pages, each around 370x277mm, with address and postmarks to final page, the letter has been written on blank pages torn from a register of service personnel, some dustsoiling and a few other stains, numerous repairs made with tape and some text lacking due to a few missing areas of the final page Note: This is a remarkable letter detailing one Scottish midshipman’s experiences during the Battle of Trafalgar. The sailor writes to his mother, with tales such as: “Judge of our situation we engaged five ships at one time Captain Duff realised about with steady fortitude and said my God what shall we do there is a spanish three decker raking us ahead a French one under the stern in a few minutes our port?

Was totally cleared the quarter deck and forcastle? nearly the same only the Boatswain and myself and three men left alive it was then the gallant Captain fell I saw him fall his head and neck were taken entirely off his body when the men heard it they held his dead body up and gave three cheers to show they were not discouraged by it and then returned to their guns we fought two hours and a half without intermission and when the smoke cleared away we found five ships had sunk” ‘Robinson’ expresses much admiration for Admiral Nelson, before copying out the letter which Nelson’s successor, Admiral Collingwood, wrote to the naval forces who fought at the Battle of Trafalgar. He finaly reassures his mother that he is, “perfectly well”. £500-800

95 FE744/1 Browning, Robert Letter written and signed by Robert Browning to Mr Woolner, dated 10th? May 1873?, in which Browning replies to what can be assumed to be Mr Woolner’s request for a poem to honour the memory of a deceased friend, Browning writes that he wishes he, “...could believe that a poem of mine would be of service to dearest I.B.”, 1 folded leaf, 22.1cm. x 18.1cm, armorial crest in blind with motto ‘virtue’, first and last page a little dust-soiled, very slight closed tear to centre fold, couple of light notes in pencil Note: It is not certain who ‘“I.B.” or “Mr Woolner” are, however two likely candidates are Thomas Woolner (1825-1892) and Isabella (or Isa) Blagden (1816/17-1893).

Isa Blagden was born in the East Indies and, whilst her nationality is oficially cited as Swiss in the register of the Protestant cemetary in Florence, where she is buried, she was in fact rumoured to be the illegitamate daughter of an English father and an Indian mother. After being educated in london, Blagden began to write plays, novels and poetry. In 1850, Isa Blagden moved to Florence and became very friendly with the Brownings. Elizabeth Barrett Browning encouraged Blagden to begin writing novels. Her works included AgnesTremorne, The Cost of a Secret and The Crown of a Life.

It is possible that Thomas Woolner was the recipient of Browning’s letter. Born in 1825, Woolner began attending the Royal Academy Schools in 1842. In 1847, Woolner met a new studio neighbour, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, and became involved with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. One source quotes William Holman Hunt’s observation that Woolner had a, “burning ambition to do work of excelling truthfulness and strong poetic spirit.” In 1852, Woolner decided to turn his hand to gold prospecting in Australia but his efforts yielded few results and by 1853, he had taken up sculpting in Melbourne.

Woolner returned to England in 1854 and became a successful sculptor of portrait medallions and busts, as well as being comissioned for several small religious works. In 1877, Woolner became professor of sculpture at the Royal Academy, but retired after five years, never having given a lecture!

This copy of Gerard’s Herball is one such example, containing a lathyrus specimen labelled, Grown from a seed found inside an Egyptian mummy. Although it is unlikely that this is the case, the specimen does reflect the 19th and 20th century fashion for ‘mummy peas’. Unsuspecting tourists would purchase peas and seeds which were allegedly found inside an Egyptian mummy and grow plants from these. In an 1885 edition of the Gardener’s Monthly and Horticulturalist , Thomas Meeham wrote:

The modern Egyptian is nearly as good as Ah Sin, when playing the game of “Fleece your brethren.” Employ one to get you some mummy peas at a big figure, and he will get you the mummy and carefully unwrap its rags, when lo! and behold ! you may see the peas roll out before your eyes ! The delighted Yankee or Britisher smilingly carries home his prize and plants them. It is nothing to him that it is but the modern purple flowered bush pea, seeds of which he could get anywhere for a few pennies. These came from an “ old mummy, you know”. £450-650

This remarkable work contains what have been described by Lucia Tongiorgi-Tomaso as illustrations which signify, “...a radical departure from the iconography of then traditional florilegium...â€? in that these often exotic plants have wonderfully detailed pastoral and classical landscapes woven into the background. (Tongiorgo-Tomaso, Lucia. An Oak Spring Flora, 174.) Many of the plants almost appear to hover above ancient castles or small herds of farm animals, their roots trailing down to ground level, and are gracefully decorated with ribbons and cartouches. This embelishment thus creates some almost surreal landscapes, as it seems the artists have attempted to raise the profile of their work by trying to elevate the flowers, aloes and branches to the level of classical masterpieces.

Descriptive text leaf for The Superb Lily and Night-Blowing Cereus only, a few spots, occasional slight dust-soiling, Superb Lily with surface bloom & marginal tear repaired, slightly dust-soiled; Aloe with small marginal tear, The Night-Blowing Cereus with slight surface bloom and slight dampstain to upper corner, Dragon Arum with slight surface bloom and slight dampstain to lower margin,

bound with [on smaller paper] The Genera of Exotic and Indigenous plants. [1801]: [Frontispiece, title, 8pp. printed text, engraved leaf “Explanation of the Second Table”, and 2 diagrammatic plates], contemporary half calf, rubbed, some light dust-soiling and a few spots to plates Note: Thornton conceived his masterpiece New Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus von Linnaeus (more commonly known as The Temple of Flora) in the mid 1790s, and advertised the work in 1797, issuing it in parts between 1799 and 1807. The composition of the work varies greatly, but in its standard form it comprises three sections, of which the last — ‘The Temple of Flora’ — contains the magnificent botanical plates for which the work is celebrated.

However, Thornton issued his works over a period of year in various permutations, frequently incorporating extant engravings into new works, or issuing components as discrete works. The present volume appears to be a product of this somewhat erratic method of publication: it contains only seven of the plates.

The completed work was entitled “New Illustration of the Sexual System of...Linnaeus. Comprehending...The Temple of Flora” and was published between 1799-1807, in three parts. It comprised 31 handfinished color plates to the Temple of Flora, 6 portraits, 11 engraved calligraphic titles & half-titles and 6 engraved plates & tables. £4,000-6,000

Bruce Ritchie – defender of “Eng sodding Lit”

The above affectionate and honorific title, awarded by one of Britain’s most distinguished playwrights, Sir Tom Stoppard, speaks directly to two of Bruce Ritchie’s principal occupations – that of teacher of English Literature and that of book collector. Stoppard wrote this tribute on a copy of the typescript of one of his most popular and longest-running plays The Real thing (lot 639). Sir Tom has also penned a special tribute to Bruce which will be found at the head of Bruce’s substantial collection of works by the playwright (lots 631 to 646).

Bruce Ritchie was born in Stirling, his pregnant mother having escaped from Singapore just as the Japanese were invading in February 1942. His father was a banker with the Chartered Bank and, in consequence, Bruce spent much of his childhood and school holidays in the Far East. Bruce returned to Scotland in 1950 to attend Dollar Academy, going from thence to the University of St Andrews in 1961 to read English and German.

After a year at Cambridge training as a teacher, he was appointed to the English Department at Merchant Taylors’ School in London where he developed into an outstanding teacher of English. It was there that he met Tom Stoppard, a Merchant Taylors’ parent, and where, too, the novelist and biographer A.N. Wilson was briefly a colleague, as well as becoming a lifelong friend.

A.N. Wilson has also kindly penned a special tribute to Bruce which prefaces lot 677.

Apart from cricket and music, the latter an enthusiasm shared with the Head of the English Department at Merchant Taylors’, the distinguished writer and broadcaster on opera John Steane, Bruce’s passion was book collecting. With few exceptions, this was focused mainly on English literature and that chiefly on the 18th and 20th centuries. The 18th century concentrated on the fictional masterpieces of Swift, Fielding and Smollett, and in assembling a formidable collection of works by Alexander Pope (lots 259 to 294).

While Browning, Dickens and a few others clearly caught his interests in terms of the 19th century, his main energies and resources were spent on the authors of the 20th century. Here the range of the collection is quite staggering for someone whose main financial resources, were, after all, his earnings as a teacher.

There is almost every major writer from Eliot to Waugh, and good assembles of many lesser or emerging ones

in between. American writers such as Arthur Miller, Capote, Mark Twain and others are also well represented. However with its concentration on Wilde, Becket, Joyce, Yeats and Seamus Heaney, the collection evidences a predominant attraction to the writers of the Anglo Irish tradition. If a few rarities escaped him, such as Yeats’s first printed work Mosada (which is, at least, present in Lily Yeats’s own copy of the Cuala Press edition of 1943, lot 680), it is again worth emphasizing that the assembly of such extensive holdings of these authors on the relatively limited resources of a teacher’s salary is truly outstanding.

Bruce’s admiration for 20th century authors did not confine itself to their printed works. He delighted in association and presentation copies, often building up friendships with the authors themselves through writing to request them to sign his copies of their books.

A number of works offered for sale-- contain correspondence from the authors, sometimes resisting such approaches, but usually giving way in the long run to the persuasion of Bruce’s charm and enthusiasm, as in the case of Seamus Heaney who, after some initial caution, comes to write to Bruce thanking him for his efforts to promote his work. Sometimes it got off on the wrong foot, as in the case of Christopher Hampton.

There is a copy of Hampton on Hampton (lot 489) inscribed by the author to Bruce, with, loosely inserted, a postcard from Hampton referring to the fact that the first contract he had from Faber & Faber was due to a confusion over a namesake, a confusion which he drily points out Ritchie also appears to have made! Condition, too, was clearly important and, wherever possible, dustwrappers are present, generally well preserved in protective covers.

Bruce’s generous instructions concerning the future of his collection were that it should be dispersed by auction. His intention was to give the maximum number of people the chance to enjoy the books which had given him such pleasure in collecting throughout his own life, thus encouraging and defending “Eng sodding Lit” to the end, and, to which aims, it is hoped Bruce would see the present catalogue as a fitting memorial.

Grateful thanks to Frank Hitchman and to Dr Brian Rees, a former Headmaster of Merchant Taylors’ School, for biographical information.

Professor William B. Todd established that the brass used to stamp the gilt wreath on the upper panel shifted slightly to the left and devoloped in imperfection in the letter “D” of “Dickens”, which is apparent in later issues. Dickens rejected the yellow endpapers and red and green title page of the proof copies he had receieved, in preference for green endpapers and a red and blue titlepage. Green endpapers were however discontinued as they had a chalky surface which needed to be specially prepared and added to the cost.

The first five issues were probably printed at a single impression and published with altered title pages to imply and encourage a rapid sale. Some copies of all the first five issues did not contain catalogues. The rarity of the first issue has been attributed to the probable small binding-up of copies with the first titlepage, coupled with the fact that the first edition was almost entirely taken up by the libraries.

Bruce Ritchie

Bruce Ritchie wrote to me on September 9th, “The thing is I haven’t had too good a time of late.

As I thought to move serenely to the age of 70, I was assailed by, in succession, a sarcoma, a stroke, a heart attack and severe depression. I’ll spare you the complete organ recital, but it did all mean no cricket at Lord’s, no jaunts back to London for plays, music and paintings…” Much of Bruce is in those few words, his modesty, his stoicism, his humour, his pleasures in life. I was travelling when he wrote, and, to my enormous regret, when I wrote back in October he was already dead. I’ve known very few people as kind, as learned, as civilised as Bruce. He taught my son Oliver at Merchant Taylors’ forty years ago and many pupils remember him fondly. The world is poorer without him. – Tom Stoppard

TOM STOPPARD 631 FE191/444 Stoppard, Tom Introduction 2: stories by new writers. London: Faber and Faber, 1964. First edition, 8vo., publisher’s red cloth, dustwrappers, price cut from corner of front wrapper fold.

Note: Baker & Wachs D1a. Contains three stories by Stoppard and is his first appearance in book form, although for the author as he had to share the glory of publication with the other authors included in the book, “this was not - not yet - the long desired consummation. That occurred a few years later when I had a novel published.” £150-250 632 FE191/442 Stoppard, Tom Lord Malquist & Mr Moon: a novel. London: Anthony Blond, 1966.

Rosecrantz and Guildenstern are dead was about as slim as a hardback could be, but it was a proper book. A paperback would not have felt the same.”

Quoted by Baker & Wachs pp. 1-2.

Prepared by Fraser & Dunlop Scripts Ltd, 91 Regent Street, London. 4to., pale blue paper, with 2 punch holes for binding, bound in quarter green morocco, marbled boards, by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, inscribed “To Bruce Ritchie defender of Eng sodding Lit (vivat!) Tom vi. 8” (3) Note: “Staged in the West End and then on Broadway, The Real thing became one of Stoppard’s most popular and longest-running plays, opening on 16 Novemebr 1982 at the Strand with Felicity Kendal ... and Roger Rees ... in the lead roles.... The Real thing is by Stoppard’s own admission a self-referencing work, a term Stoppard used to draw on his own experience in the theatre and, presumably, in love. The play also takes on a strange prescient quality, given his later relationship with Kendal. He completed the work in march 1982, changing the original protagonist from a novelist to a playwright ...”

(Ira Nadel Double act: a life of Tom Stoppard, London, 2002, pp. 321 and 323). The typescript is accompanied by a programme for the Strand Theatre 1983 production signed by Felicity Kendall, Roger Rees, and other members of the cast.

The text is an 18 line speech by Henry who is described as “holding his cricket bat.” It is clear from correspondence with various booksellers that Ritchie held more copies than these currently being offered for sale. Given his great interest in cricket, it is conceivable that Ritchie himself was responsible for the production of the Broadside. Clearly he was distributing and selling copies. £200-300

Bruce Ritchie

Cricketer, opera buff, man of letters, and an inspired teacher, Bruce was the best of company, devoted to generations of pupils and loved in return.. When I started out as a teacher at Merchant Taylors’ School, Northwood, he was a wonderful colleague, gently guiding me when he thought I was making a hash of things, and always ready for bookish talk. At the end of the day, the four English teachers - Bruce, John Steane, the Marlowe scholar , and the poet Robert Hunter and I would head to the local pub, arriving on the dot of six. There was much laughter, though Bruce was a serious man, roused to anger by injustice and unkindness. I knew he was a bibliophile, and had seen some of his Alexander Pope treasures, but only now do we realize the extent of his devotion to the Book as an object. - A.N.Wilson 677 FE191/463 Wilson, A.N.

CUALA PRESS PUBLICATIONS

“The Cuala Press is unique among literary private presses. Its de facto editor was W.B. Yeats and the majority of its publications were wholly or in part written by him, but it was run by his sisters Lily and Lolly (Elizabeth).

It effectively became the house publisher for the Irish literary revival, and was a pioneer of the Irish Arts and Crafts movement. It maintained the highest typographic standards and from the outset a distinctive house style under the influence of Emery Walker, one of the great printers of the period.”

Lyon & Turnbull carries on business with bidders, buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to, or in connection, with a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein.

(a) pay to us the total amount due in cash or in such other way as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), Switch or Debit Cards and Visa or MasterCard (please note there is a surcharge of 2% (VAT included) when using credit cards). We do not accept American Express.

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. Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.

1. DEFINITIONS In these Conditions: (a) “Auctioneer” means the firm of Lyon & Turnbull or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; (b) “deliberate forgery” means an imitation made with the intention of deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source but which is unequivocally described in the catalogue as being the work of a particular creator and which, at the date of the sale, had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description; (c) “hammer price” means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the auctioneer brings down the hammer; (d) “terms of consignment” means the stipulated terms and rates of commission on which Lyon & Turnbull accepts instructions from sellers or their agents; (e) “total amount due” means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting buyer under these Conditions; (f) “sale proceeds” means the net amount due to the seller, being the hammer price of the lot sold less commission at the stated rate, Value Added Tax chargeable and any other amounts due to us by the seller in whatever capacity and however arising; (g) “You”, “Your”, etc. refer to the buyer as identified in Condition 2. (h) The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate.

2. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid; (b) the maker of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the buyer at the hammer price and any dispute about a bid, which must be raised before the next lot is offered, shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion. (c) Bidders shall be deemed to act as principals. (d) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn. (e) Our right to bid on behalf of the seller is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve and the right to refuse any bid is also reserved.

3. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the auctioneer’s sole discretion.

4. THE PURCHASE PRICE The buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon.

25% up to £25,000 / 20% thereafter.

VAT will be charged on the premium at the rate imposed by law.

5. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with an asterisk (*) or dagger (†). Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by buyers of relevant lots.

174

(2) any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without regard to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied.

7. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due.

(2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than four working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage and other associated charges.

(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.

(4) It is the buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main saleroom and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time.

10. COMMISSION BIDS 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. 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.

11. WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY The seller warrants to the auctioneer and to you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

12. AGENCY

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 auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.

The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

(1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the seller and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies:

Any surplus so arising shall belong to the seller; (d) to remove, store and insure the lot at your expense and, in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere; (e) to charge interest at a rate of 1.5% per month above the current base rate on the total amount due, to the extent it remains unpaid for more than four working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or in future becoming due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due and to exercise a lien (that is a right to retain possession of) any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied.

(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

14. STANDARD VENDOR FEES AND CHARGES (Subject to VAT)

(2) If a vendor wishes to withdraw a lot organized for sale, a withdrawal fee will apply; (a) If withdrawn over 28 working days prior to the sale, this will be charged at 10% of the mid estimate along with any ancilliary incurred (such as photography), all subject to VAT at the current rate. (b) If withdrawn within 28 working days of the sale, this will be charged at 20% of the mid estimate along with any ancilliary incurred (such as photography), all subject to VAT at the current rate.

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

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 (Books, Jewellery, paintings, guns, firearms etc) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary or guidance notes appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales.

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.
