Thework has consequentlybeen identified as oneof thefirst works in the now revered tradition of illustrated accounts of exotic lands byartists who wereinvolved in everystageof theproduction process, exemplified bythe Daniells'OrientalScenery(1795-1814):theseartists ‘saw thesights, drew thepictures and worked themup, then back in Europecarried out the processes of platepreparation, and supervised theprinting and colouring. This elimination of allintermediaries gavetheseworks immediacyand vastly improved accuracy'(Gerstle&Milner, eds., Recovering theOrient, 1994, pp. 118-19) In 1808 Webber's views wererepublished byBoydellwith the addition of hand-colouring and text, and with Boydell's imprint on each plate.A copyof Webber's edition containing 15 of the16 plates was offered at Christie's, 8 April2009, and aset of 12 looseplates appeared at Sotheby's in 1960.

Andrew Hardie(1792-1820), an unemployed weaver fromGlasgow, was oneof threemen executed for their roles in theso-called RadicalUprising of April1820, aweek of strikes and civilunrest across centralScotland, organised as aresponseto theworsening economic situation which followed theend of theNapoleonic Wars Hardiewas second-in-command of asmallgroup of men intending to march on theCarron ironworks in Falkirk. At nearbyBonnymuir thegroup encountered soldiers fromthe Kilsyth Yeomanryand 10th Hussars and abloodyskirmish ensued, after which Hardiewas arrested and taken to Stirling Castle, wherehewas executed in September along with theleader of theCarron expedition John Baird, aPeninsular War veteran.Thedocument in this albumin fact contains two letters byHardie, thefirst addressed to ‘MyDear Relations’ and signed Andrew Hardie, Stirling Castle, 5 Sept 1820, thesecond to ‘MyDear Young Cousins’ signed ‘Andrew Hardie’ but with different letterforms for each of thecapitals. In themHardieplaces his trust in God and everlasting life, exhorts his familyto pious observance, forgives thosewho havewronged him, defends his actions as motivated by‘thegood of mysuffering country'. Thefirst letter contains apostscript accusing ‘Mr HardieJusticeof thepeacefromGlasgow and Mr NicolHugh Baird CivielEngineireat Kelvenhead privatein theKilsyth YeomaneryCavalery’ of perjuryagainst him, signed ‘Andrew Hardie’ in thesamestyleas theletter itself Theletter to ‘My Dear Relations’ was printed along with aletter fromHardieto his sweetheart Margaret on an undated Edinburgh broadside, acopyof which survives at theNationalLibraryof Scotland (shelfmark Ry.III.a.2(11)). Stirling Archives acquired in 2020 amanuscript copyof the‘MyDear Relations’ letter, written in anon-cursivehand entirelydifferent fromthat of thepresent letter. It is thereforeapossibilitythat copies of Hardie's finalletters to his familyand anyother acquaintances werecirculated in print and in manuscript after his execution, and in theabsenceof aspecimen of his handwriting established as his own, theauthenticityof thepresent letter as Hardie's autograph cannot dedeclared with certainty. An 1833 report on literacyrates among Scottish millworkers reported that 96% could read and 53% could write, so it is possiblethan anysurviving letters fromHardiewerein anycasedictated (R A Houston, Scottish Literacyand theScottish Identity, 1985, p 2)

Elizabeth demonstrates her commitment to religious toleration in writing to seek fair treatment for theleaders of theCatholic partyin Ghent, imprisoned during thecoup d'état in thecityin October 1577, which led to the formation of ashort-lived Calvinist republic under theleadership of the letter's recipient, Jan van HembyzeElizabeth appeals to Hembyze's enlightened statesmanship and loveof justicein order to secureafair trial for theimprisoned Catholics, who arenot named but areknown to have included Frédéric Perrenot deChampagney(1536-1600), ahigh-ranking Habsburg soldier and diplomat:‘Combien les prisoniers detenuz en lavillede Gand peuvent demander defaveur devous et des aultres messieurs, qui ont lasuperintendanceet maniement des affaires dedela, vous nepouvez ignorer pour l’amour queportes ajusticeet lazelequavez abien fairea lestat devos affairez.

David Stevenson notes that David Laing in his 19th-centurycensus ‘refers to acovenant “belonging to theburgh of Peebles” marked “For theBurgh of Peebles” which had been engraved in facsimile Thereferenceto afacsimileindicates that it is this covenant now in theNLS that Laing refers to, but theinscription is not present, making it possiblethat thereis – or was – asecond Peebles covenant’ (Stevenson p 271) Theexistenceof two Peebles copies maybe connected to thecontested reception of theNationalCovenant in the region, illustrating that thedocument’s acceptancewas not aforegone conclusion across Scotland, contraryto thedrift of much subsequent historiography As aleading modern historian of thecovenanters has noted: ‘Whilesomecommunities wereenthusiastic earlyendorsers of the Covenant, others appear to havequietlyignored it untiladecision was forced upon them… Thepresbyteryof Peebles, in theScottish borders, counted theearlof Traquair amongst its flock, and not surprisingly, became oneof thecomparativelyfew to endorsetherivalking’s covenant in the autumn of 1638. TheNationalCovenant was finallyaccepted in May1639, but onlyafter someof thebrethren had insisted on “asight” of therelevant acts of synod and generalassembly’ (Stewart, p. 108). ThePeebles subscribers whosesignatures arevisibleon this copyincludeJ Peter, commissar of Peebles, various burgesses, baillies and counsellors, and severalfigures whoselocalstatus is not mentioned but who can be identified fromsecondarysources. Among thelatter aretwo individuals of specialinterest, namelyoneAndrew Watson and oneP Purdieof Newlands An Andrew Watson is recorded as vicar of Peebles and in 1652 received ‘£3 Scots as part payment duebythePresbyteryfor burning witches’ (Chambers, p 166);Patrick Purdie, minister at Newlands from1634 to 1681, was involved in at least threewitch trials in the1640s. In addition to theknown extant copies of theNationalCovenant, Stevenson lists 20 under theheading ‘missing, lost or suppositious’. Thepresent copymayaccount for that recorded as 16 19, described on thebasis of letters in theScottish Record Office(now theNationalRecords of Scotland) as having been owned at somepoint in the19th centurybyaMrs Landells, wifeof oneThomas Henderson, and eventuallygiven to a‘Mr Brown’, nephew of Thomas Henderson Another copy, recorded as 16 1, is oneapparentlysigned at Kilmarnock and seen in Cheshire;thereport, described byStevenson as ‘doubtful’, maybeaconfused account of theKilmarnock-Cheshire

As ayoung apprenticesurgeon and medicalstudent in the1830s in Newcastleupon Tyne, John Snow attended to cholerasufferers at the Killingworth Colliery Thedisease, which thanks to Snow’s research, wenow know is spread through consuming contaminated food and water, piqued theyoung doctor’s interest and inspired his later studies.By1844, Snow had relocated to London and graduated universitywith adegreein medicine Hewas admitted as amember of theRoyalCollegeof Physicians in 1850 and was present in thecityfor both theSoho choleraoutbreaks of 1849 and 1854. 1850s Soho was asomewhat unsanitaryplaceto live– cesspits beneath homes werecommon, as thecity’s sewer systemhad not yet reached thearea. The1854 choleraoutbreak was thethird of its kind in the areawithin thespaceof 25 years and it was clear that therewas asevere health problemin thearea. Themedicalcommunity– including theGeneral Board of Health – generallyagreed at thetimethat illness was caused by miasma, however Snow suspected differently Hehad published his first edition of On theModeof Communication of Cholerain 1849, arguing against ‘bad air’ as acauseof cholera In 1854, Snow began to further his epidemiologicalresearch, with thehelp of Reverend HenryWhitehead, by simplyspeaking with theresidents of Soho and recording his findings John Snow mapped thecholeradeaths in thearea. Hediscovered that most of thedeaths werein thevicinityof Broad Street and thekeyfactor which linked themallwas access to thelocalwater pump. His carefulmapping and convincing argument persuaded thecouncilthat thecontaminated water (fromanearbycesspit) was thecauseof thedisease, and thesubsequent disabling of thepump vastlyreduced thenumber of affected patients Snow’s On theModeof Communication of Cholerawas published in second edition, much enlarged and with thecrucialaddition of maps, including that of theBroad Street pump contamination area Thework can beconsidered oneof thefounding texts of modern epidemiologyand has undoubtedlysaved thousands of lives

Robert Burns was an intelligent and fun-loving youth, working as afarm labourer bydayand reading theworks of Scottish Enlightenment authors and philosophers, alongsideplaying thefiddle, in his sparetime. Unusually for theera, although less so for lowland Scotland at thetime, theworkingclass Robert Burns received aformaleducation in standard English. He combined this with theinfluences of theScots languageand folkloreto createpoetrywhich has appealed to generations worldwide, identifying the truths of human nature Burns first started to writepoetryas aboyof about fifteen, addressing themto a“bewitching” girlhehad met during the harvest. Nearly240 years after thepublication of the1786 “Kilmarnock Edition”, over 2000 editions of his poems and songs havebeen published.The“Kilmarnock” – or first – edition of Burns’ poems is thesingle most famous volumein Scotland's impressiveliteraryheritage However, the work almost never saw thelight of day.

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. OUR 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 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. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no

warranties are given.

(d) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300.

(e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

(f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

D. THE BUYER’S

PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY

1. THE PURCHASE PRICE

For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 26% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £20,000, plus 25% from £20,001 to £500,000, plus 20% from £500,001 thereafter. 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.

(b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This

reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

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. The charge for works of art sold at and above £1,000 and below £50,000 is 4%. For items selling above £50,000, 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. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

E. WARRANTIES

For each Lot, the Seller gives a warranty that the Seller; (a) Is the owner of the Lot or a joint owner of the Lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners, or if the Sellers is not the owner of or a joint owner of the Lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the Lot, or the right to do so in law, and; (b) Had the right to transfer ownership of the Lot to the Buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either other above warranties are incorrect, the Seller shall not have to pay more than the Purchase Price (as defined in the glossary) paid by You to us. The Seller will not be responsible to You for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages or expense. The Seller gives no warranty in relation to any Lot other than as set out above and, as far as the Seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the Seller to You, and all obligations upon the Seller which may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded.

2. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE

We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each Lot in this Catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the Catalogue description of the Lot, as

amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the Catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below.

In the event we, in our reasonable opinion, deem that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the Lot the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the Lot by the original purchaser.

This Guarantee does not apply if:

(a) The Catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the Catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or

(b) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the Lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the Lot; or

(c) There has been no material loss in value of the Lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the Lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Authenticity Guarantee, the original purchaser of the Lot must:

(a) notify us in writing within one month of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to dispute the accuracy of the Bold or Capitalised type heading, specifying the Lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such dispute; and

(b) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale.

We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the Lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of Lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional

expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original Purchase Price paid (the successful Hammer Price, plus the Buyer’s Premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. Lyon & Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest.
