In fact, the emblems used here were originally worked by Jesuit artists and subsequently used by Plantin Press. One illustration in the work includes a depiction of Francis Line’s magnetic clock - Line was a Jesuit scientist himself. The Plantin Press’s own emblem is also included on p.382. The author, Pietrasanta, was the confessor of the work’s dedicatee, Pietro Luigi Carafa. In the ten years preceding the publication of the work, Pietrasanta had lodged with Carafa in Cologne, campaigning against the Protestant religion. Today Pietrasanta is known primarily as the inventor of the modern hatching method in heraldry.

AN IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF THE LIBRARY OF JACOBITE BOOKS FROM ION SMEATON MUNRO (1883-1970) AND IAN MUNRO (1930-2019)

123

Ion Smeaton Munro was a diplomat, journalist and author. He was also a fiercely proud Scot. Having spent much of his working life in Rome, he found ample opportunity to seek out books relating to the Jacobites and their activities. Rome being, of course, where the exiled Stuarts held court for two generations, where Prince Charles Edward was born, from where he set out for the ill-fated ‘45 and where he lies buried in the crypt of St Peter’s with his brother Henry and their father, The Old Pretender. Ion Smeaton Munro began his collection in the 1920s, and continued to add to it until his death in 1970. The Collection was then passed to his son, Ian Munro, who in much the same way his father describes Henry Stuart, ‘was not renowned as a bookish man, but he loved books around him. He was a great ‘encourager’ of books’.

Ion Smeaton Munro had a special interest in Henry, who he referred to as ‘Prince Charlie’s forgotten brother’ and sought books produced by a small printing press in Frascati, founded by him in around 1776. Editions consisted of only a few hundred copies. He wrote that he soon discovered ‘the best of the little-known Frascati publications is hungrily sought - for quite different reasons from my own. Historians of music want it because it is a close analysis of the Gregorian Chant with exhaustive and practical rules for its proper use by church choirs in all services. It is also wanted by students of typography for its crude but remarkable printing of music in hand-made woodcut blocks with tables of tonal value signs.’ He goes on to say, ‘At last, in the dusty corner of a dusty shelf in the back of a dusty shop in the Trastevere quarter of Rome, my eyes and hand alighted on this rare treasure. It was the concluding line of that typically eighteenth century prolix title-page which gave me my own particular thrill - ‘In the Printinghouse of the Frascati Seminary Itself’. The book is in its contemporary simple cardboard binding, with a deep blue marle on the outside.’

Bombelli who had been engaged by the Cardinal Duke as a master printer, was not afraid to tackle a most difficult typographical job with amateur assistants; the appointment of Dr L.V. Belli, author of the work. as Singing Master at the Seminary, reveals the high standard of the teaching staff; and the subject of the book underlines the Cardinal Duke’s delight in the promotion of good music.” (Ion S.

At his trial in London on 13 July 1746, Towneley’s defence that as a French officer he should be treated as a prisoner of war was disallowed. He was found guilty of high treason and was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered.

need by the Prince for currency caused by the loss of the “Hazard” sloop on its way from France with a large sum of money on March 25th 1746. Strange was commissioned for notes of amounts from £200 downwards, but no notes were printed, and nothing of the proposed issue has survived, with the exception of the original copper plate. The reason for this is that the Plate was only delivered to Prince Charles’s Treasurer a day or two before the battle of Culloden, and the other copper plate for larger notes was never completed. The original plate was purchased by The West Highland Museum in 1928 for £430 at the Cluny sale, with the assistance of a £100 grant from the National Art Collections Fund. In 1928 the Museum arranged for the distinguished Sir D.Y. Cameron R.A., Scottish artist and etcher, to print a limited edition of 57 impressions of special signed proofs, although this one is not numbered, which were sold for the benefit of the Museum.

We are therefore unable to offer you a place at any College...in the autumn of 1972...”), WITH AN ORIGINAL PENCIL PORTRAIT BY STEIG LARSSON ON THE REVERSE, some slight wear to case Note: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who Played with Fire and The Girl who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest, known as The Millennium Trilogy, presented in a spectacular and unique binding. Alison Strachan, the binding director at Sangorski & Sutcliffe / Shepherd’s, has commented on the special design of the binding: “...There was... a strong impression in my mind of Lisbet’s physical appearance, which was echoed in the violence in her character as well as that shown against her by male characters in the book. The studs were a manifestation of this male/female theme and the sado-masochism of some of the male characters. The way the studs each fit into the cover of the next book, was a symbol of how the protagonists work together, their close relationship... the hand-tooled designs of each front cover were designed to echo the images of the titles and the tattoos that cover Lisbet...”

Note: A comprehensive collection of the works of John Le Carré, the nom de plume of David John Moore Cornwell. A former employee of MI5 & Mi6, Le Carré has written 24 novels, with the latest, Agent Running in the Field, due to be released on 15th October 2019. Le Carré’s third novel, The Spy who came in from the Cold (1963) became an international best-seller and attracted some controversy in the depiction of western espionage methods as morally dubious. More recently, Le Carré’s The Night Manager and The Little Drummer Girl have become critically acclaimed television adaptations. Alongside many first editions of John Le Carré’s novels, this collection includes several proof and limited editions, which are often difficult to come by. Only 100 copies of the limited signed edition of The Pigeon Tunnel were produced, whilst Our Game is a first edition first impression of the work and is included with its unusual cancelled dustwrapper.

WAR AND PEACE

Note: Apparently a re-issue of the first British edition of War and Peace. The first UK edition is tremendously scarce, and seldom found for sale. Rather intriguingly, the second volume of this apparent re-issue features an initial advertisement for F. Mabel Robinson’s Disenchantment, a work not published until 1890 on a different paper from the rest of the work and other adverts, dated September 1886. It is possible that this leaf was added later, making this a true British first edition. However, the third volume also includes an advert for the second edition of Dostoevsky’s Works published by Vizetelly. As the first edition was issued in 1887, it is likely that this is an unrecorded 1890 re-issue of the first edition. The first edition issue points are included in

Beaton writes to his correspondent as a result of the incursions by King Henry VIII into Scotland, ‘Quia de incursionibus Ab Anglorum rege, contra sereniss[imum] et ill[ustrissi]mu[m]. Regum, Do[min]um meu[m], eiusq[u]e regnu[m], illatis ad S[anctissimum] D[ominum] N[ostrum] in p[raese]ntia scribo; ex eisdemq[ue] literis D[etermi]nationem V[estram] R[everendissimam] omnia ad plenu[m] intellecturam esse confido, nihil hoc tempore ad illa[m] scribed[m] esse putavi.

218 quod ita esse toties illa experietur, quoties in suis suoru[mq]ue reb[us] q[ue] Uti voluerit. Interim me D[omi]nationi v[est]rae humil[lime] co[m] mendo.’, with detached integral address leaf bearing a good affixed blind embossed paper seal, some extremely minor light foxing and a slight area of water staining to the right edge, only very slightly affecting the text and signature which remain perfectly legible Note: An extremely rare letter, written shortly before the Battle of Solway Moss, by the Cardinal whose brutal murder led to Religious warfare in the mid-Sixteenth century. The battle took place at Solway Moss on the AngloScottish border on 24th November 1542. When King Henry VIII of England broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, he asked King James V of Scotland, his nephew, to do the same. James rejected his uncle’s request and further insulted him by refusing to meet at York. As a result, King Henry VIII displayed his anger by sending troops against Scotland. In retaliation for the massive English raid into Scotland King James responded by assigning Robert, Lord Maxwell, with the task of raising an army and on 24th November 1542 an army of 15,000 - 18,000 Scots advanced into England and were met near Solway Moss by Thomas Wharton and his 3000 men. The ensuing battle was uncoordinated and has been described as a rout. Alessandro Farnese (1520-1589), Italian Cardinal and Diplomat. Letters signed by Cardinal Beaton are extremely rare. American Book Prices Current have no records of any autograph material by Beaton appearing at auction.

Alongside reporting on shells and previously unrecorded species, MacAndrew comments on the scenery, the local people, their way of life and reindeer migration.

Until the edict against the clan was repealed in 1774 it was illegal to be a MacGregor, or to protect or support the cause of those who held onto the name. The persecution of the Clan Gregor was so severe that it was even forbidden to communicate with clan members.

78 Note: The Young Pretender, in dangerous exile in France, often wrote in the vaguest terms. Margaret Foster, in her biography of the Prince wrote that “His fear of detection would not allow him to sign his name or date his letters. Often these missives were written in invisible ink and in disguised hands even worse than Charles’ own. The names he did sign at the end only added to the confusion for they changed with bewildering rapidity and it was like receiving anonymous letters which... were difficult to accept as trustworthy”. The Waters mentioned in the letter is Charles Edward’s Parisian banker. The reference to Vignion presumably indicates Avignon where he spent some of his time in exile. Gordon may be John Gordon, Rector of the Scots College at Paris, to whom the Prince is known to have written at various times. It may be that the reference to “ye Linnin” is in code.

274 STUART, CHARLES, EDWARD, CALLED “BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE”, THE YOUNG PRETENDER (1720-1788) AUTOGRAPH LETTER, IN CRYPTIC CODE, UNSIGNED apparently to a MacDonald, beginning with the statement “ye two houses by se or Land”. Stuart enjoins his correspondent to secrecy, mentions the needs for funds and the names Gros, Douns and Ryans, and suggests that Ryans who will write “immediately [if it is?] on or off” should come in his person with it and give it to Mr Gordon, one page headed “Munday Morning at 10:1/2”, no place or date, 1 page, 8vo Note: On the run after the battle of Culloden, the Prince resorted to sending his letters in cryptic code. Naturally these are difficult to interpret. Scholars believe this relates to negotiations for the marriage to Louise of StolbergGedern. Ryans was Col. Ryan who was involved in them. Funds for her pension were required - the need for funds is mentioned. Gordon is possibly John of the Scots College in Rome.

Lieutenant-General Fowke (1690-1765), having served with Cope as Brigadier-General at the Battle of Prestonpans, went on to be Governor of Gibraltar from 1753 to 1756.

ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS

308

308 HORSBURGH, JAMES A COLLECTION OF WATERCOLOURS SHOWING SCOTTISH SCENERY AND LIFE 98 mounted sketches, mostly watercolour but some pen and ink, showing scenery around Sutherland and Killiecrankie, with several showing interior scenes of crofts, and 4 mounted albumen photographs showing Highland estate workers, c.1850 Note: This extensive collection of drawings appears to record the journey of a James Horsburgh Esq. around the Highlands of Scotland in the mid-19th century. One sketch is signed ‘J. Horsburgh’, whilst another depicts a selfcaricature of the artist falling in a river whilst fishing. The caption reads: “James Horsburgh Esq. as he appeared in the River Naver, salmon fishing!!” All the drawings are captioned - some rather amusingly (“Mode of carrying my carpet bag in Sutherland and a very bonny lassie too!”) Whilst many of the illustrations show idyllic Highland scenes and castles, several are exceptional in that they depict the interiors of Highland cottages at the time. An illustration entitled “Thos. Og’s Cottage, Torrisdale, Sutherland” depicts a family and beasts, sitting around a central cooking pot inside a cottage, whilst a figure looks across the room from a box bed. Another depicts the interior of a shepherd’s cottage, where it appears Horsburgh spent the night in the company of a crying baby and the family pig helping itself to the contents of a cooking pot!

ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES

In June 1858, Darwin received a letter from fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace containing his draft theory on species variation and distribution. Darwin had been investigating similar phenomena: his work onboard HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836 had led him to investigate the reasons behind the geographic distribution of wildlife and fossils. Darwin noted the similarities between his work and Wallace’s, in a letter to the Scottish geologist Charles Lyell: “if Wallace had my M.S. sketch written out in 1842 he could not have made a better short abstract!” On 1 st July 1858, Darwin and Wallace presented a joint paper to the Linnean Society: On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection. Following this, Darwin commenced his Origin of Species. He started work on the book on July 20th 1858, corrected the proofs in September 1859 and received a copy early in November. This was a remarkably quick turnaround from conception to publication. 1,250 copies were printed, of which 1,192 were available for sale, with twelve reserved for the author, forty-one for review and five for Stationers’ Hall copyright. All 1,192 available copies were subscribed for by booksellers on the day of publication, 24th November 1859, and Darwin was immediately asked by John Murray to prepare a revised text for a second printing. Darwin’s work was successful in the sense that it aroused huge interest and subsequent controversy. Peter Bowler, in his work Evolution: the History of an Idea, points out that the work did not draw clear lines between the scientific, religious and sociological issues raised in the text, sparking debate. At the time of publication, as is often the case now, many reviewers struggled to completely understand Darwin’s theory. Darwin was satirised in contemporary magazines as “a Venerable Orang-outang” and cartoonishly depicted as an ape with a bearded human head. Today On The Origin of Species, as it is more familiarly known, is considered to be one of the most important books ever published, and has inspired ongoing research into our biological origins. As the pioneering geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky titled a famous essay: Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution. Certainly, modern scientific thought would be very different without Darwin’s seminal text. Darwin viewed evolution by natural selection as a very gradual mechanism of change within populations, and postulated that new species could be the product of this very same process, but over even longer periods of time. He indicated that species could form by the evolution of one species splitting into two, or via a population diverging from its extant ancestor to the point it was a new species. Darwin’s insights into evolution were brilliant, especially in light of their being made in the absence of a known mechanism of inheritance. Indeed, ideas about heredity and the introduction of new genetic material via mutation were to come long after Darwin’s founding theories of evolution.

Albumen print heightened with white paint, in an oval glazed gilt and painted wood frame, c.1895

Note: Sir Walter Scott created the character of Edie Ochiltree in his 1816 novel, The Antiquary. Ochiltree is a ‘Blue-gown’, or ‘gaberlunzie’, a beggar with a slightly higher status in 19th century society than others. The character of Edie Ochiltree captured the imagination of the photographers. Their preferred model for Ochiltree was John Henning: a Scottish bust sculptor, who made images of well known personages, including Scott himself. [Bruce, David. Sun Pictures…, 1973, pp.68&78]

Note: Today known as the Nalubaale Hydroelectric Power Station, the Owen Falls Dam and Hydroelectric Scheme was constructed between 1947 and 1954, and officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 29th April 1954. The complex was built following the recommendation of engineer, Charles Redvers Westlake, however the location had been considered significant since John Hanning Speke suggested that Ripon Falls, at the Northern end of Lake Victoria, was the source of the Nile. The construction of the dam effectively extended Lake Victoria and submerged the hitherto famous Ripon Falls. Gibb’s photographs show the construction of the dam, including aerial shots, alongside images of the Queen speaking at her lectern, the Queen and Prince Philip walking past dignitaries and giving speeches. Provenance: From the records of Sir Alexander Gibb and Partners

CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR BUYERS (UK) These Conditions of Sale and the Saleroom Notices as well as specific Catalogue terms, set out the terms on which we offer the Lots listed in this Catalogue for sale. By registering to bid and/or by bidding at auction You agree to these terms, we recommend that You read them carefully before doing so. You will find a list of definitions and a glossary at the end providing explanations for the meanings of the words and expressions used. 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 appearing in the Catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. In these Conditions the words “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd, the singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. “You”, “Your” means the Buyer. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller.

A. BEFORE THE SALE 1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS

Whilst 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 only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the Auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. 2. O UR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS

We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the

extent provided below. (a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. 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. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. 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. (c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. 3. WITHDRAWAL

Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw. 4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS

(a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological

19.2 report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored.

VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the Hammer Price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction. Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 2. VALUE ADDED TAX

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. (a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme.

that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 3. A RTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (DROIT DE SUITE)

This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT.
