The plates are hand-coloured engravings from Angas's original sketches and paintings. This splendid pictorial record of Angas's New Zealand travels is the most impressive presentation of any for the exploration period and is deservedly the 'mahi pai rawa atu' of the country's descriptive works. The plates depict landscapes traversed, Maori weapons, houses, domestic scenes, and, above all, portraits (although Angas failed to surmount the challenge of depicting Maori features as Polynesian rather than European). Most of the sketches are from the upper Waikato, South Taupo and Rotoaira, though there is a balancing spread from Port Nicholson, Porirua and elsewhere. G to G+.

Top edge darkened and lightly worn, with an area of light blemishing beneath. Text remains clean. The Declaration was drafted by Henry Williams. It is regarded as the first affirmation

18

of Maori sovereignty over New Zealand, although there was no Maori input into its content. Chiefly designed to guard against the plans of French adventurer Charles de Thierry to establish an independent state in the Hokianga, the document was described by the Governor of New South Wales as 'a paper pellet fired off at Baron de Thierry'. It is the predecessor of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi. In it, the chiefs and heads of tribes of the Northern parts of New Zealand claim all sovereign power and authority, and declare the country an Independent State under the designation of the United Tribes of New Zealand. The Declaration of Independence of New Zealand was initially signed by 34 chiefs (predominantly Ngapuhi) at a hui held at Waitangi on 28 October 1835. Among the signatories were Hongi and Pomare. The document features also a footnote of assent by Tamati Waka Nene and five others who had not attended the meeting. This rare second edition contains several minor corrections (for example, 'no Ngati' in place of 'no nga te'). It was possibly printed to encourage more chiefs to sign the original document. Colenso's Ledger records the printing of 100 copies for the British Resident (James Busby). This copy of the Declaration was given by Colenso to his daughter Frances Simcox. G+. Est. $15000 *cover

1944-1946. Num closely written pages. Three different stationery bindings, one a recycled Italian 1934 Agenda with battered, stained black boards. This diary begins May 28, 1944, in Italy. Jack Barnes had got a homer when the 25th went into Cassino. A NZ newsreel showed the launching of 10 boats made at Auckland for the Americans. 'Before lunch an "I" talk by Terry McLean. 5th Bgde been in & took a tough hill.' 'July 31. The Maoris opened up the proceedings at 9.30 on our left last night. A heavy barrage just ahead of their line lasted for 2 and a half hours.' The second diary begins December 22, 1945. Sergeant Anderson lists his address as c/- Mr A E Fawkes, 'Wield View', Headcorn, Kent, or Bulls, Rangitikei. The war is over, the diarist concerns himself with travels in and around London and Scotland, and a rugby match at Cardiff Arms Park, Wales. Sergeant Anderson writes in a chatty style, mentions lots of names, and takes a particular interest in anything to do with farming. The third diary begins March 24th, 1946, and finds Anderson 'giving a hand with the sheep', then visiting a Shorthorn herd at Market Bosworth. The last part of the diary records the trip home on the RMS 'Rimutaka', leaving London on July 10th. An interesting glimpse at a young New Zealander experiencing life fighting for his country and the empire, and making the most of his geographic location once the war was won. The farming information gathered during his time abroad was no doubt put to use on his return. The thoughts and occasional poems of one the soldiers who did return. He sounds a likeable fellow, 378261 Sergeant C B Anderson. G. [3]. Est. $200 397 Ephemera, HMS New Zealand

Preston was a well-known clergyman active during the reign of James I. Though favored by several highly placed individuals during his lifetime, he is largely remembered due the posthumous publication of his works (some authorised and some not), which had a profound impact upon the 'the godly' in England and New England. Often labelled as the 'Patriarch of the Presbetyrian Party', there is in fact no evidence that Preston was more than a zealous Protestant who 'embraced the system of English hypothetical universalism' (later to become Calvinism).

1st ed. Random House, New York 1971. 8vo. 206p. Illus by Ralph Steadman. Grey cloth spine and papered boards. Sun damage to front board. CB. SABR. No DJ. Frenetic inscription in red ballpoint: 'Dick, thanx for the column - clip - weird news from the Daily Capitol, etc - anyway - Calif. sucked : no action, no tension. I'm afraid the rest of the year looks like a nice story to cover from the Rockies, HST.' The writings of the infamous Hunter S Thompson offer a fascinating look into 1960s and 70s America. Erractic and unpredictable, Thomson's musings, coupled with Steadman's bizarre illustrations, never fail to induce laughter and disbelief. This signed copy is a truly unique piece of literary history. AF. G. Est. $700 *p15 678 Welsh, Irvine Two books including 'Porno', signed by author. 1st ed. J Cape, London 2002. 8vo. 483p. DJ.

No person shall advance less at a bid than the sum nominated by the auctioneer and no bid may be retracted. 2. Reserves. All lots are sold subject to the right of the seller or his agent to impose a reserve. 3. Registration. Purchasers shall complete a bidding card before the sale giving their own correct name, address and telephone number.

If full payment cannot be made on the day of sale a deposit of 10% of the total sum due must be made on the day of sale and the balance must be paid within 5 working days. Payment is by cash, bank cheque or Eftpos. Cheques will be accepted but must be cleared before removal of goods. Major credit cards are accepted. Amex attracts an additional surcharge. 6.

A Guide for Buyers

Bethunes at Webb's have set out the following information for first time buyers and those unfamiliar with auction procedures. Important: Please refer to full Conditions of Sale for Buyers printed elsewhere in this catalogue and displayed in the saleroom.

Registration All intending buyers must complete a bidding form available from the reception desk.

Buying at Auction Floor Bidders Register and obtain a bidder card before bidding on any lot or lots. Be aware that a buyer's premium of 17.5% plus GST on the premium, effectively a total of 19.7% , is payable in addition to the bid price. Make your bids clear, preferably by holding up your bidder card. If you make a mistake (for example, the auctioneer takes a bid from you at a higher level than you had intended, or you realise that you had bid on the wrong lot), call out to the auctioneer immediately so that the bidding can be adjusted. Waiting until the hammer falls is too late. If your bid is the highest and the lot is knocked down to you then you have entered a binding obligation to pay for that lot. Bidding Increments Are at the Auctioneer's Discretion Bidding will commence at a bidding increment over the second highest absentee/ postal bid received prior to the commencement of the auction. Where no bids have been received bidding will commence at half the auctioneer's lot estimate, or at $10, whichever is the higher, at the auctioneer's sole discretion. Sales Subject to Vendor's Consent Where your bid is the highest, but still below the reserve, the auctioneer may declare you to be the 'buyer subject to vendor's consent' ('Subject' or 'SVA'). This means that your bid is held as binding and will be communicated to the vendor at the earliest opportunity. If the vendor accepts then there is a contractual obligation for you to pay for the lot. If the vendor does not accept, you are released from any obligation, however you will have first right to negotiate with the vendor through Bethunes at Webb's until an agreement is reached, and Webb's will not present other offers to the vendor until your negotiations are ended. Absentee Bids Bethunes at Webb's will endeavour to ensure that your bidding instructions are executed, but accept no responsibility or liability for failure to do so. Lots will be bought as favourably as is allowed by bidding in the sale room, other competitive absentee bids and any reserve imposed by the vendor. Please note that Bethunes at Webb's cannot guarantee that another bidder will not be successful at your limit if, in the course of competitive bidding, a floor bidder bids your limit first. Absentee bids are accepted by written instruction which can be sent by fax, email or post to arrive no later than the evening before the commencement of the sale. Priority will be given to the earliest received absentee bid where identical bids are received. Absentee bids will be executed on the following basis: If your bid limit is equal to or above a reserve, the auctioneer may open the bidding at reserve on your behalf and will bid thereafter only in response to competition for the lot. If your bid limit is below a reserve, the auctioneer may open the bidding at your limit and if there are no further bids in the room may sell to you 'subject to vendor's consent'. In the absence of a reserve the auctioneer may exercise your bid in advance of any opening bid or may open the bidding on your behalf at a bidding increment over the second highest absentee bid received prior to auction commencement or if no other absentee bids have been received bidding will commence at half the auctioneer's lot estimate, or at $10 whichever is the higher, at the auctioneer's sole discretion.

Telephone Bids Such bids are available for items over $100 and where the auctioneer is able to confirm availability of staff to provide this service. The same conditions as above apply to telephone bidders. Webb's will telephone the number you have given several minutes before the lot you have requested comes up for sale. If your phone is engaged or we are unable to make contact the auction will proceed without your bidding. Our staff will ask you to hold when we have made contact. They will then tell you that your lot is about to come up. The bids will be relayed to you and you can enter the bidding at any time by making your call. Please note that the bidding at many auctions can be fast and furious. The auctioneer will not favour a phone bidder over and above buyers who are attending the auction by giving them more time to bid. You will need to establish your limit and make sure that you bid clearly and promptly. Telephone bids are only accepted for catalogued sales and on items with estimates over $100. Pre-Sale Estimates Estimates printed in the catalogue or given verbally are intended as a guide only and can be subject to revision nearer to the time of a sale. Bethunes at Webb's staff are available during pre-sale viewing times and by appointment to assist prospective bidders with estimates and any aspect of the auction procedure. Condition Reports Bethunes at Webb's staff will provide condition reports over and above the catalogue description for out of Auckland buyers. However, please note that No 6 of the Conditions of Sale for Buyers will still apply despite the obtaining of a condition report. Payment Payment for all items purchased is due on the day of sale immediately following completion of the sale. If full payment cannot be made on the day of sale a deposit of 10% of the total sum due must be made on the day of sale and the balance must be paid within 5 working days.Payment is by cash, bank cheque or Eftpos. Cheques will be accepted but must be cleared before removal of goods. Major credit cards are accepted. Amex attracts an additional surcharge.
