16 HD559/33 Chippendale, Thomas The gentleman and cabinet-maker’s Director. London: by J. Haberkorn, for the author, 1755. Second edition, folio, title printed in red and black, engraved dedication, list of subscribers, [title, x, 27], 160 engraved plates (including 2 different plates both numbered XXV), lacks plate 160, a few marginal repairs, some spotting and slight dust-soiling, occasional staining (mostly marginal), plates 67 and 159 frayed and repaired, first 4 leaves frayed and silked, list of subscribers leaves repaired in margins, p.27 with note by John Gowanlock of Highcheister Mill, Roberton, dated 1826 directing everyone in possession of the volume to take good care it, modern brown morocco, raised bands, blind tooled in compartments, red morocco lettering piece Note: Thomas Chippendale, (1718-79) set up as a cabinet maker in London in 1748 and in 1754 he published The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker’s Director, a pattern book that was to secure his position as one of the most eminent cabinetmakers of the 18th century. From his workshop on St Martins Lane he undertook many large-scale furnishing projects for grand houses throughout Britain. In the 18th century there was an increasing demand for luxury goods, and Chippendale’s Director provided this market with 160 engravings of fashionable furniture designs. Published by subscription, The Director was an instant success. It was reissued in 1755, and again in 1762 with additional plates in the new Neo-classical style. Subscribers included aristocrats and cabinet-makers. So influential were his designs, in Britain and throughout Europe and America, that ‘Chippendale’ became a shorthand description for any furniture similar to his Director designs. Furniture designs had been occasionally published before 1754, but Chippendale’s Director was the first publication on such a large scale. It included designs in the ‘Gothic, Chinese and Modern Taste’ – the last meaning French Rococo style. £1,500-2,000

24 HD559/30 Hope, Thomas - Regency Style Household furniture and interior decoration, executed from designs by Thomas Hope. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees & Orme, 1807. Folio, (495 x 295mm.), engraved title, and 60 engraved plates, half-title, original cloth with large original paper label to upper cover, uncut, some spotting Note: Thomas Hope (1769–1831) was influential as a designer, design reformer and collector. A Dutchman, born in Amsterdam, Hope inherited from his family a tradition of collecting as well as vast wealth from the family bank. He was a collector on a grand scale and also an innovative designer of great genius who helped define what we understand as the Regency style. His extensive Grand Tour travels in Europe, Greece, Turkey and Egypt inspired his interest in antiquities as a source of designs for Regency interiors, furniture and metalwork. He was determined to reform contemporary taste by returning architecture and the arts, including interior design and furniture, to what he conceived as the spirit of classical purity.
25 22 HD559/44 Hepplewhite, Alice The cabinet-maker and upholsterer’s guide. London: I. & J. Taylor, 1794.

In 1799 he bought a house designed by Robert Adam in Duchess Street, Portland Place, London, which he remodelled with a series of themed interiors. The colourful interiors of Duchess Street and of Hope’s country house, Deepdene in Surrey, played a unique role in the history of collecting, interior design and display. Both were open to select visitors, but his furniture reached an even wider public through his book, Household Furniture and Interior Decoration. Published in 1807, this book introduced the term ‘interior decoration’ into the English language. £700-1,000 25 HD559/31 Hope, Thomas - Regency Style Household furniture and interior decoration, executed from designs by Thomas Hope. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees & Orme, 1807. Folio, (481 x 295mm.), engraved title, and 60 engraved plates, early 20th century full vellum, without half-title, some spotting, tear to plate 9 & 49 repaired £700-1,000 26 HD559/39 Ince, William & John Mayhew [The universal system of household furniture.

They issued The Universal System of Household Furniture as a single volume in 1762, which consisted of 89 plates, engraved by Matthias Darly, with a further six of fire grates added at the end. Their designs tended to be more cautious versions of those by Thomas Chippendale but they include tripod or ‘claw’ tables not to be found in Chippendale’s Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker’s Director. Thomas Sheraton judged their work to be “much inferior to Chippendale’s.” £1,000-2,000 27 HD559/49 Jacob, S.S. and T.H. Hendley Jeypore enamels. London: W. Griggs, 1886.

Richards traded in Nottingham in the period c.1880-1920 and his catalogues, published monthly, offer a fascinating insight into the taste, classifications, descriptions, and prices for antiques in the period. Richards seems to have produced these hand-drawn catalogues from the 1880s up until the end of the First World War, posting them out to collectors. He sold a very wide range of antiques and ‘curios’ and the pages illustrate what remain as standard ‘antique’ collectable objects. £200-300 36 HD559/23 Shaw, Henry Specimens of ancient furniture.

The Sketch of the North Taku Forts, no. 24, illustrates the plan and section of the fort, noting “guns were covered with a wooden shed which conceals them and protects them from the weather”.

One map is attributed to Major Hamilton Bower (1858-1940), an Indian Staff Officer who travelled widely in Turkestan and Tibet and who raised and commanded the 1st Chinese Regiment at Wei-hei-Wei in 1898. During the Boxer Rebellion the 1st Chinese Regiment sent 200 men in 4 companies led by Lt .Col. Bower to Tientsen on 24th June 1900 where the men of the regiment fought alongside United States Marines.
The full list of maps comprise:

71 HB773/12 Glasgow and Lanark - Charles Ross of Greenlaw A map of the shire of Lanark, by Charles Ross of Greenlaw & engraved by Geo. Cameron. 1773. Large engraved map on 4 sheets, each sheet 76 x 54cm., hand-coloured in outline, inset plan of Glasgow, cream window mounts Note: After the Union with England (1707) new agricultural practices, which were in use in England, were increasingly taken up and implemented by Scottish landowning Estates. In effect the agricultural landscape was reshaped from irregular shapes plots or rigs (strips of land) into large rectangular or square fields, with well defined boundaries, thereby making the land easier to work and also making it more productive. This was of course of benefit to the landowners more than to the tenants and workers of the land. The key to making these changes/improvements to land management was an accurate and detailed survey of the land belonging to the landowner showing pertinent details of the landscape and noting relevant details which may affect the productivity or use of the land. In addition to producing large scale ‘Estate Plans’ solely for the landowners use, surveyors often surveyed adjoining land in the hope of securing commissioners from neighbouring landowners. Charles Ross of Greenlaw, (near Paisley), had training as a factor on the Hawkhead estate, and it would appear that his surveying skills were sufficient for him to be regarded as a surveyor from 1744, drawing plans for several of the local noblemen and gentry, including Sir James Colquhoun of Luss.

Note: John Hay, 1758-1836, was a leading landscape designer in Scotland, who designed gardens for Castle Semple Park, Newhailes, Alnwick Castle, and Archerfield at Dirleton. Charles McIntosh’s The Practical Gardener, and Modern Horticulturalist, 1839, refers to work by John Hay on the gardens of Lord Rosebery and the Earl of Camperdown. ”Division between gardeners, nursery-men and garden designers was vague at this time and often overlapped. In Edinburgh John Hay was best known for combining these several roles. His skills are to be found catalogued in an advertisement appearing in the Edinburgh Evening Courant in 1812 and reveal a versatile and competent man of parts.” [Connie Byrom.

The Scots Magazine is believed to be the oldest magazine still in publication, although there have been several gaps in its publication history. It has reported on events from the defeat of the Jacobites through the Napoleonic wars to the Second World War and on to the
136
136
creation of the new Scottish Parliament. It was first published on 9th February 1739, as a 48-page pamphlet, priced sixpence monthly, and was edited and printed in Edinburgh. Volume 21, for 1759, details the skirmish between the English and the French that led to the burning of Fort Duquesne in late November, 1758, and the renaming of the settlement after William Pitt as “Pittsburgh”. The woodcut map in the text is considered to be the first published map showing Pittsburgh renamed. Volume 38, for 1776, reports “The Congress, on the 4th of July, declared the colonies independent states” and reproduces in full the Declaration of Independence (p.433-436).

Rare piratical edition, 8vo, original grey wrappers bound in, modern green morocco gilt, gilt border to covers, red and brown morocco lettering pieces, t.e.g. Note: The publishing history of “The gentle art of making enemies” is complex. Sheridan Ford was initially commissioned by Whistler to edit and publish the work, but before the book was quite ready for publication Whistler changed his mind, paid off Ford, and proceeded to do his own editing and publishing, producing a signed limited edition and a standard trade edition published by Heinemann. Ford departed with his own copy, determined to publish the book under his own responsibility. Knowing that what he was about to do was illegal he gave the manuscript to a printer in Antwerp, Belgium, and had an edition printed in Paris. At least some of the copies printed at Antwerp were published with the imprint of Frederick Stokes and Brother and were sent to the United States. The present copy is one of the few such pirated copies. The Paris edition was suppressed by Sir George Lewis, Whistler’s lawyer, who prevented the importation of the book into the UK, Messrs. Stokes cabled to London that their name was used without permission and “the balance of the edition is stated to have been destroyed by fire”. [Pennell, E.R. & J.

MANUSCRIPTS 202 HB812/2 Ballantyne, Robert Michael - [Fire Brigade Service] Autograph manuscript of “Fighting the Flames. A tale of the London FireBrigade”. 8vo, pp. [2], 338, unbound, preserved in a fitted cloth case, 1867, author’s heavily corrected manuscript marked up for publication, signed and dated 9 September 1867 by Ballantyne on the last leaf, on the verso of the last leaf is the address of Constable, the Edinburgh printers, some dust-staining to outer leaves, top edge of case split Note: “Fighting the Flames. A Tale of the London Fire Brigade” was published by James Nisbet in 1867. The dramatic possibilities of a tale about the London fire brigade, recently modernised with steam pumps, was an attractive one for Ballantyne. He undertook a great deal of research on the subject before starting writing, including a protracted correspondence with Captain Shaw, chief officer of the Metropolitan fire brigade and Mr Sampson Low, Secretary of the London Fire-Escape Society. In London he took the opportunity to participate in a practice run of the fire appliance, by his later account a frightening experience with the appliance racing through the city streets with Ballantyne hanging on at the back. According to Quayle, Ballantyne finished the work on the 9th September 1867 and sent the proofs to Captain Shaw for revision. It was published in December of the same year. By coincidence Ballantyne himself was involved in a real rescue in Edinburgh that year where he entered a burning house in the Canongate to try and save a child, earning himself a medal in the process. The resulting publicity did the sales of his book no harm. £1,500-2,000 203 HB812/1 Ballantyne, Robert Michael - [Grand National Trunk Railway] Autograph manuscript of “The Iron Horse, or life on the Line. A Tale of the Grand National Trunk Railway”, 8vo, pp. [2]-70, 1-29, 71-322. Unbound, 1871, manuscript with a mock-up title page by Ballantyne (with instructions to the printer on font size) and is initialled and dated Edinburgh 16 August 1871 at the end. The extra 20 page section in the pagination is an “aside” by Ballantyne on the history of the “Iron-Horse”. Probably written after the main manuscript was completed, Ballantyne instructs the printer to confirm it will be inserted in the correct place, heavily corrected and amended by the author, title page a little dusty, glue stain to the last leaf
203
Note: “The Iron Horse, or Life on the Line” was published in 1871 (see Quayle 42a) in an edition of two thousand five hundred copies and enjoyed a large success. In order to acquire his customary insight into the workings of his subject before beginning writing, Ballantyne obtained permission from the Board of Directors to travel on the footplate of the Edinburgh-to-London express and back again. After helping the fireman shovel coal into the firebox, he was permitted to operate the controls for the last part of the return trip. As Quayle notes in “Ballantyne the Brave” (Hart-Davis, 1967), Ballantyne packed into the novel “a vast assortment of dramatic incidents”, including the detection of thieves who preyed on the goods carried by the train, last minute rescues from the path of oncoming engines, several railway accidents, the loss and recovery of a diamond ring, “all woven into a factual account of the working of the British railway system and its effect upon the nation’s economy” £2,000-3,000 204 HC650/2 Bergson, Henri ALS thanking an unnamed male recipient for his touching testimony and for sending a curious quotation from Tolstoy, dated Paris 3rd November 1935, written on two sides of a notecard 115 x 90mm £150-200 205 HD580/1 Brahan Castle, Dingwall, Easter Ross - Earls of Seaforth Ernest Shackleton Visitor’s book of Brahan Castle, c.1905-20, with watercolours and photographs of Brahan Castle and garden, including signatures of Ernest Shackleton (probably with small watercolour by Shackleton of ships in ?Southern Ocean), Reginald Ward, photographs of Volunteer drill hall Maryburgh, &c., brown morocco Note: From the Estate of the late Madeleine Stewart-Mackenzie of Seaforth £150-200

One page, 4to, Villa Fontana Vecchia, Taormina, Sicily, 9 December 1921, written in response to the unexpected news that Lawrence had won the James Tait Black Memorial prize for his novel The Lost Girl (1920). After writing that he has received no communication on the subject, Lawrence acknowledges being “especially pleased at having at last some spark of friendly recognition out of Britain. It has been mostly abuse.” After making arrangements for the deposit of the £100 prize in his London account, Lawrence asks for the “name of the Professor of English Literature at Edinburgh University” - the prize is traditionally judged by senior staff in the English department at Edinburgh University, letter tipped into a first edition copy of the novel, bookplate of J[ames] T[ait] B[lack], Underscar, Keswick
Note: The prize for The Lost Girl came after an especially lean time for Lawrence. In 1919 he had been seriously ill with influenza and had been reduced to writing a school history book for money. Scraping together enough money, he and Frieda left England for Italy which turned out to be “the real end of his life in England” (“ODNB”). After stays in the Abruzzi mountains and Capri, Frieda and Lawrence settled in Sicily at the Villa Fontana Vecchia where he embarked on a period of productive work including the composition of The Lost Girl. A.& C. Black was founded by Adam Black who was a publisher and politician. He opened a bookshop in 1807 in Edinburgh. He was born on 20 Feb 1784 in Edinburgh and died 24 Jan 1874 also in Edinburgh. He took his nephew, Charles Black (1834-1854), into partnership with him in his publishing business, establishing A. and C. Black in 1834.: The firm acquired copyright to the Encyclopaedia Britannica and in 1851 they purchased the remainder of the copyright on Sir Walter Scott’s works. Adam Black retired in 1870, his three younger sons, James Tait Black (1826-1911), Francis Black (1830-1892) and Adam William Black (1836-1898), who were already in the business with him took over the firm. Francis Black, Adam Black’s third son was admitted into the partnership in 1855. Adam William Black, Adam Black’s fourth son was admitted into partnership in 1858. A. & C. Black moved to Soho Square, London in 1889. The firm was a partnership from 1807-1914, and then became a public limited company. The firm bought the copyright of Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley nNovels in 1851. A. & C. Black also published early P.G. Wodehouse, including Psmith Journalist, 1915, The Pothunters, 1915, Mike: a public school story, 1916, Psmith in the City: a sequel to Mike, 1919.

Robinson & Son, Redhill & Guildford, glued to mount Note: Charles Prosper Sainton (1861 - 1914), was the son of the violinist Prosper Phillippe Sainton, and father to the composer Philip Sainton. Charles, however, did not adhere to the family’s musical traditions, instead becoming a major advocate of silver-point etching.

300 HD576/1 Mao Tse-Tung (or Zedong) Mao ZhuXi YuLu [Quotations of Chairman Mao, in Chinese]. [Beijing?] Published, printed and edited by the Central Intelligence Bureau of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, [May or June 1964]. First edition, 16mo (14 x 10cm), first binding with printed paper wrappers intended for individual officers prior to issue of more familiar red vinyl covers; Another copy, second binding, red vinyl covers, with text pages 82/83 in its earliest uncorrected state (without errata slip); both copies complete with half-title printed in red ink, title-page in red and green inks, brown-coloured portrait frontispiece, and with Lin Biao’s calligraphic endorsement having its misprint in its uncorrected state; also includes a letterpress introduction (1/2) signed with Lin Biao’s name (sometimes censored), a table of contents (1/2 listing 30 chapters), and the text itself (1/250) without any additional colophon or printing history (as found in most later editions); Another copy August 1965, third edition (first Chinese printing of the final text now with 33 chapters, the basis for all subsequent reprints and translations, and with Lin’s endorsement in its corrected version), red vinyl binding, with inscription on the half-title We must use Chairman Mao’s books as the Highest Instruction for our actions; whatever he says we will follow signed by Fang Zhi Qiang, a previous owner; Another copy an early English language translation dated 1966 (but actually January 1967) (4) Note: The red vinyl covers of the second binding were intended for brigades to use jointly. Creating a more sturdy binding took longer time to design, which included the addition of stiff cardboard covers inside the vinyl jacket and headbands at top and bottom. This is copy of a very rare issue of the work, with two Chinese text characters accidentally transposed at pp.82-83. A very small errata slip was issued (not present here) and the mistake was corrected almost immediately. In all known copies in printed paper wrappers, this text is in its corrected format. [Grolier Club Mao (2014), pp 34-37] Created for use by the People’s Liberation Army as a pocket handbook of inspirational reading, the book contains short segments taken from Mao’s speeches and published writings for use in study groups as lessons for discussion amongst the soldiers. Demand for additional copies within the army required the book to get reprinted several times in 1965 (2nd edition March enlarged to 32 chapters, 3rd edition August adds final 33rd chapter). Early printings include a one-page facsimile of Lin’s calligraphic endorsement for everyone to study Chairman Mao’s writings, but following accusations of Lin’s unsuccessful plot to assassinate Mao in September 1971, the government required this page to be torn out in an effort to eradicate Lin’s name from modern history. Subsequent copies printed after 1971 no longer include any mention of Lin and most earlier copies that do survive have this page removed. £9,000-12,000

Only a small number of copies were produced, to train high-ranking soldiers (Red Guards) in debating foreign diplomats and newsmen using terms, expressions, catch-phrases and slogans in slang language from the Cultural Revolution.

Lin was accused of planning to assassinate Mao in 1971 and most surviving copies have various torn-out pages following the PRC’s request that Lin’s name be eradicated from all printed texts. This copy is complete as published, including an unrecorded errata slip laid inside the front endpaper asking readers to cross out ten entries which were deemed inappropriate due to their negative implications and subject matter. £2,000-3,000 302 EZ774/54 Say, Jean-Baptiste A treatise on political economy.

Pattersand Press, 2015; Limited edition print entitled Sashka and the Arctic Fox Note: Original illustrations for Hilary Roper’s third children’s book, Sashka the Snow Princess and All the Creatures of the North. Published by the Pattersand Press. Hilary Roper was born in 1948 and was brought up in the country village of Hutton, just outside Preston. During her childhood, she was keenly engaged with nature, from climbing trees to winning school prizes for botanical illustration. Her interest in nature and wildlife is reflected in Sashka the Snow Princess, as Arctic wildlife playfully interact with the story’s eponymous heroine. A review in the Guardian newspaper in 1973 described Hilary’s work as follows: ...there is an immediate and constant joy in colour that is rare. There is an ebullience, a proliferation of harmonies that seem as delicately instinctive as they are original. Following a period studying at Edinburgh College of Art and Design, Hilary began to teach art and design in secondary schools, whilst considering a career as a children’s book writer and illustrator. Upon moving to Wales with her husband in 1973, Hilary realised this ambition, creating her book Macfaddion’s Finest Hour, about a water vole hunting for a dragon. The intricately detailed illustrations were displayed at Sudbury Hall, a Derbyshire National Trust property, following a recommendation from the Prince of Wales. The illustrations for sale today for Sashka the Snow Princess combine vivid colour and bold linear pattern, drawing inspiration from traditional Russian fairy tales in her decorated borders. This set of 14 original illustrations from the book is accompanied by an additional, unused illustration, depicting an Arctic fox. The story recounts the tale of, Sashka, derived from the Russian Alexandra meaning ‘defender of mankind’. Sashka is lonely until she is befreinded by local wildlife, and together the princess and the animals have many adventures. Hilary employs gouache on paper, using traditional wax varnish method, applied in soft circular movements by hand, akin to Renaissance painters, for protection. £7,000-9,000

Amsterdam: Corneille Nicolas... pour Bonaventure Dacivelle Libraire, 1601. Folio (330 x 230mm.), 2 parts in one volume; 25 large engraved illustrations including title illustration, two woodcuts, [ii], 21 leaves, [8 leaves], period style half vellum, with mottled brown paper boards, upper margin of title excised with loss of three words (Le second livre), one leaf with slight marginal loss (not affecting text), occasional light stains and toning Note: First French edition of the very rare account of the second Dutch voyage to the Indies. In 1595 the Dutch, having never sailed beyond the usual European sea routes, sent an exploratory expedition of four ships under Cornelius Houtman to Java via the Cape of Good Hope, in an attempt to break the Portuguese blockade on trade in the East Indies and gain direct access to the spice islands of the Moluccas. Houtman lost two thirds of his men but succeeded in making the return trip. A second, larger, fleet of eight ships was immediately dispatched from Holland in 1598 under a the joint command of Jacob van Neck and William van Warwijk. The second voyage was an extraordinary success, returning a 300% profit. It was the first Dutch voyage to reach the Banda Islands, at the time the global source of nutmeg, and led to the formation of the Dutch East India Company. The fabulous profits from the expedition prompted a spice gold rush in Holland. “In 1601, fourteen fleets comprising sixty-five ships sailed for the East Indies, but by that time competition between rival Dutch operators, as well as with the Portuguese, had inflated prices and none were as successful as Van Neck’s first enterprise” [Howgego, p.746]. On the voyage out van Warwicjk’s ships were separated in a storm from the fleet and driven to Mauritius, which he named in honour of Maurice van Nassau, Prince of Orange. Exploring the island they discovered a “great multitude of tortoises of incredible size” (folio 2 verso), and also discovered the Dodo. Folio 3 recto contains the first description in print , and the first engraved image, of the Dodo (see inside front cover). The account of the voyage was first published in Dutch in Amsterdam in 1600. As more of the crew returned, a second much enlarged Dutch edition appeared in 1601, also issued in translation as the present first French edition. This enlarged text includes five additional engravings and two woodcuts (of nutmeg and cloves), and many additional details about the voyage. A shorter, unillustrated (without the engraving of the
Dodo, or any of the other engravings) translation in English also appeared in 1601, also an exceptionally rare book. The second part, with its own title-page, includes a vocabulary of Malay and Javanese words, one of the first ever printed. The text includes twenty five attractive half-page engravings (including a map of the Spice Islands) as well as two woodcuts (of nutmeg and clove). EXTREMELY RARE. ABPC has not recorded a single copy of the present edition at auction in the last 40 years. Only 1 copy found on COPAC: Cambridge University. No copy of this edition currently for sale. £8,000-12,000

Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale.

Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.
