First UK edition, published two years after the unprocurable Bombay edition of 1829, which was privately printed ‘for the perusal of the author’s friends’. Copies dated 1831 exist with Stark, the printer, substituted in the imprint for Cadell. Burnes arrived in Bombay in 1821 ‘and was successful in the open competition for the ofﬁce of surgeon to the residency of Cutch. He volunteered to accompany the force which, in 1825, expelled the Sindians who had devastated Cutch and forced the British brigade to retire to Bhuj. The amirs of Sind then invited him to visit them as the most skilful of physicians and their best friend, and the cementer of the bonds of amity between the two governments, and on his return he was complimented by the government on the zeal and ability he had displayed at Cutch and Hyderabad. His account of his visit to Sind, written as an ofﬁcial report to the resident at Cutch, is an excellent account of the country, and was a valuable contribution to the geography of India’ (ODNB).

A Report on the System of Megpunnaism, or, the murder of indigent parents for their young children (who are sold as slaves) as it prevails in the Delhi territories, and the native states of Rajpootana, Ulwar and Bhurtpore, 1st edition, Serampore: The Serampore Press, 1839, 121 pp., folding genealogical chart (slightly toned), small binder ink stamp at front, manuscript shelf number, original moiré cloth, spine faded, a little rubbed at ends, 8vo Rare. Sleeman’s campaign against the thuggees, a group of professional bandits involved in murder and child-stealing, who worshipped the Hindu goddess Kali. The book contains eleven cases of child theft, with depositions, and a list of thugs still at large. ‘At ﬁrst Sleeman received little support in his anti-thuggee campaign, but this changed in 1835 when Lord William Bentinck became governor-general. He made Sleeman head of a commission for the suppression of thuggee and dacoity (1839–42). During the next two years Sleeman investigated and repressed criminal organizations in upper India. Between 1826 and 1840 more than 14,000 thugs were hanged, transported, or imprisoned for life. Much depended on Sleeman’s painstaking collection of evidence regarding thuggee, which included both Hindus and Muslims. Those who were taken and who agreed to talk were known as ‘approvers’. They were segregated in conﬁnement in Jubbulpore, where they and their families were taught trades. Sleeman published Ramaseeana (1836) on the thugs, their language, and the measures against them.’ (ODNB) (1) £1,500 - £2,000

Provenance: (Dalzell) Nicholas Alexander Dalzell (1817-1877), Scottish botanist, conservator of forests in Bombay and superintendent of the Botanical Gardens in the Bombay Presidency. He was one of the first people to form the link between forest denudation and the impact of rainfall upon the wider countryside. Then Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817-1911), English botanist, founder of geographical botany and Charles Darwin’s closest friend. For 20 years he served as director of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Two rare books on the flora of Bombay, last seen at auction in 1975. Dalzell’s Bombay Flora is inscribed by the owner and was lent to Joseph Dalton Hooker, director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, who extensively annotated this copy and made a few sketches of local plants. A manuscript note tipped onto the front endpaper confirms that Hooker received this copy directly from Dalzell and was to return it to his family ‘when required’. Also the second item, not inscribed, appears to be annotated by Hooker. Hooker was sent on a botanical expedition to India and the Himalayas between 1847 and 1851 by his father, then director at Kew, to collect plants for the Royal Botanic Gardens. He began the series Flora Indica in 1855, together with Thomas Thomson. Their botanical observations and the publication of The Rhododendrons of the Sikkim-Himalaya (1849-1851) formed the basis of more elaborate works on the rhododendrons of the Sikkim Himalaya and on the flora of India. For his scientific services, he was appointed Knight Grand Commander of the Order of the Star of India in 1897. (2) £400 - £600

241 Southern England. Jenner (Thomas), A Mappe of Kent, Southsex, Surrey, Middlesex, Barke and Southampton & the Isle of Wight, part of Essex & Wiltshire etc..., printed, coloured and sold by John Garrett, London: circa 1676, engraved map with contemporary outline colouring, old folds, folds strengthened and repaired on verso, 275 x 515 mm Shirley, Early Printed Maps of the British Isles, 1477 - 1650, 537. The southeast sheet of the ‘Quartermaster’s map’. The map acquired its moniker owing to its usefulness to ‘all Commanders for Quarteringe of Souldiers, & all sorts of Persons, that would be informed, Where the Armies be; never so Commodiously drawne before this.’ It was used widely during the English Civil War, particularly by the Parliamentarians with whom the original publisher Thomas Jenner’s sympathies lay. Jenner was a print and map seller who set up in business at the White Bear in Cornhill about 1618. Until the impending Civil War, Jenner was not known for cartographic material. Then in 1643, he published a revised edition of the ‘Direction for the English Traviller’ whose plates he had acquired from his printer Matthew Simmons. Jenner had timed his move perfectly. The demand for maps to help the large numbers of people moving about the country at the time of the Civil War was on the increase. The market for the little atlas clearly proved so great that he was attracted to do more. He engaged the services of the noted engraver Wenceslaus Hollar to etch a reduction of Christopher Saxton’s great wall map of 1583, thereby enabling his customers to have a more detailed and yet still portable map of England and Wales.

249 World. Gill (Macdonald). The “Time and Tide” Map of the Atlantic Charter, George Philip and Son Ltd, 1944, large colour photolithographic map, old folds, occasional closed splits and tears to the old folds, some marginal fraying and closed tears, old drawing pin marks to the margins, occasional small holes where old folds cross and two small holes (near South Africa) caused by biopredation, 825 x 1090 mm. Gill’s ‘Time and Tide’ map was commissioned by Time and Tide magazine. It never enjoyed a large circulation and is therefore one of the scarcest of Gill’s pictorial maps. The map celebrates the joint declaration released by Churchill and Roosevelt in August 1941 after the Atlantic Conference. The Atlantic Charter was a gesture of solidarity at a moment when Nazi Germany had just turned against the USSR and looked all but invincible. In time the charter would form the basis for Allied war aims and the postwar foundation of the United Nations. Gill takes an optimistic view of the Charter and of the future. He shows a muscled worker taking a sledgehammer to tanks and munitions in the foreground, while in the distance is an idyllic scene of ploughing and reaping. A nod to the book of Isaiah and the turning of ‘swords to ploughshares’. The map is adorned with quotes by Cicero, Emerson, Pope and Aristotle on the virtues of peace. Gill is probably best known for his 1913 ‘Wonderground map of London’ and this map is still very much in the decorative and pictorial style that Gill became famous for. I am grateful to the research and blogs conducted and written by Rod Barron and Bryars & Bryars. (1) £300 - £500

Originally published in ‘Vedute altre prese da i luoghi altre ideate da Antonio Canal’. The series comprised of 34 plates which illustrated a mix of real and imaginary views from Venice, Padua and Rome. Why Canaletto turned to the medium of etching at the height of his popularity is unknown. However, the resulting plates show a freedom of style and vigour, suggesting that Canaletto enjoyed being released from the formulaic constraints of painting. Canaletto dedicated the Vedute to his great patron, the collector and Consul of Venice, Joseph Smith. The exact date of the Vedute is unknown, but it must be after June 6th, 1744, the day Smith was appointed Consul. (10) £4,000 - £6,000

Humphrey, July 20th 1803, etched and aquatint caricature with bright contemporary hand-colouring, large margins, occasional repaired marginal closed tears but not affecting the printed image, 255 x 355 mm Gillray is parodying the genre of fox-hunting prints, which were growing in popularity and would become a staple of English print-making, lasting well into the reign of Queen Victoria. He shows King George III holding a fox by the throat- a wriggling Napoleon Bonaparte - whilst his hounds, wearing the collars of ‘St.Vincent’, ‘Nelson’, ‘Cornwallis’, ‘Gardner’ and ‘Sydney’, rush to be in on the kill. William Pitt (out of ofﬁce at the time of this print, but a strong supporter of a more aggressive stance against Napoleon) leads the chase in the background. Gillray’s caricature is an optimistic piece of propaganda in that he has chosen to minimise the ferocity and success of the French foe and to emphasise the symbols of British strength, the Hanoverian succession, and the persistence of a British way of life.

315* Rennell (James, publisher). The Head of the Advanced Guard of the Mahratta Army coming to join Earl Cornwallis near Seringapatam, May 28th, 1791, published March 30th 1792, engraving with sparse contemporary hand-colouring, two closed tears professionally repaired on the verso, the whole backed with archival tissue, 320 x 520 mm

The engraving shows a moment during the third Anglo-Mysore War between the British East India Company and Tipu Sultan. The British had captured Bangalore earlier that year and were now advancing toward Seringapatam. However, their progress was slow and difﬁcult because Tipu Sultan was conducting a ‘scorched-earth’ policy, destroying supplies, crops and foodstuffs. This led to food shortages and a decline in the health and morale of the British army. This, combined with guerrilla tactics of engaging in small skirmishes, sniping and generally harassing the advancing army, led to the British position rapidly deteriorating. Tipu Sultan’s campaign was very effective and forced Cornwallis into a retreat in June 1791.

Herbert 1196; Darlow and Moule 887. This and the folio Oxford edition of the same year are known as the Oxford ‘Standard’ editions, being a revision of the Authorised version by Benjamin Blayney following the lines of Paris’ Cambridge edition of 1762. According to the editor’s report the quarto was finished first, the folio being afterwards printed from the same type, differently disposed. The example in the collection cited by Herbert/Darlow and Moule refers to the copy having ‘a MS. note by Josiah Pratt’ (1768-1844, English clergyman) which states that ‘a great part of the folio edition of 1769 having been destroyed at Woodmason’s fire, a copy of that edition is scarcely to be purchased at any price. A copy of this edition is also very rarely to be met with; sometimes it may be found with a New Testament of later date substituted for that of 1769’. (1) £500 - £800

406* Armorial Shield. A hand-painted wooden armorial in the shape of a shield, c. 1863, painted in gold and colours on a black ground, depicting the coat of arms of the 2nd Earl Vane, surmounted by an Earl’s coronet, painted by an unidentiﬁed but competent heraldic painter, incorporating the motto ‘metuenda corolla draconis’, gold-painted rounded edges, the lower tip missing, cloth backing, 38 x 41 cm George Henry Robert Charles William Vane-Tempest, 5th Marquess of Londonderry (1821-1884), styled Viscount Seaham between 1823 and 1854, and known as The Earl Vane between 1854 and 1872, was a British aristocrat, businessman, diplomat and Conservative politician. In 1846 he married Mary, the daughter of Sir John Edwards of Garth and Plas Machynlleth, in the county of Montgomery, in Wales. He succeeded, by special limitation, to the title of Earl Vane in 1854 and, in 1872, succeeding to the title of 5th Marquess of Londonderry on the death of his half-brother he ceased to use this title. The armorial, therefore, could have existed only between 1854 and 1872. He lived at Plas Machynlleth, which his wife had inherited from her father. He was chairman of the Newtown and Machynlleth Railway Company, the 23mile line running from Caersws to Machynlleth, which opened on the 3 January 1863. The opening ceremony was performed by the Countess Vane on Machynlleth station and it is likely that this shield formed part of the opening celebrations. It was discovered only recently in a house in the town of Machynlleth where it had probably been since 1863. (1) £200 - £300

had been drawn up close to his room door. The cabby was all agog to see his passenger: when he did he whispered hoarsely “Golly, oh Golly, poor devil”. The E.M. sat on the back seat, I sat alongside him & Sister Cotton occupied the seat in front looking as if she was going to a funeral: that was habitual for she was Sister in the female venereal ward: occasionally a grim smile was indecently elicited by a more than usually witty - though invariable coarse, jibe from one of the ladies of the street: some of them were very clever. We were hustled along passages covered with red carpet into the especially prepared stage-box adjoining the stage, greeted en route, by Sir Augustus Harris himself, complete with a huge expanse of shirt front, embellished with a single diamond of impressive size. At this point Freddy’s artistry led him astray: of course his description was as it ought to have been but wasn’t. The bare fact is that the hustling & excitement had overwhelmed the E.M. & he slept soundly throughout most of the performance. The disappointment to the many who had taken such pains to arrange the treat would have been too tragic so Freddy came up to scratch with a convincing alternative. Sister Cotton and I enjoyed the show & were amused by the picture tho obvious attempts of those in possession of the stage to see thro the screen. They’d only have seen the top of his enormous head anyhow for his face was buried in a pillow. The E.M. died while I was voyaging to China & the many interesting signed photos which he’d promised me had all disappeared when I got back. He made no will.’ (2) £150 - £200

419* The Elephant Man. A manuscript account about Joseph Merrick, ‘The Elephant Man’, by a friend, c. 1920s, written in blue ink on rectos of two leaves of lined paper, unaddressed and unsigned, giving a brief account of his friendship with Merrick and giving an alternative account to Frederick Treves’s published narrative about a visit by them to the theatre, a couple of spots and paper clip stain to margin of one leaf, 2 pages, 4to, together with an accompanying book: Treves (Frederick), The Elephant Man and Other Reminiscences, 1st edition, London: Cassell and Company, 1923, signed presentation inscription in brown ink to front free endpaper recto, ‘E. S. Robinson, from JUMBO, Sept. 2 1924’, written in the same hand as the manuscript account, some spotting, matching staple stain to margins of pp. 37-44, original two-tone cloth gilt, rubbed with minor marks, 8vo Joseph Carey Merrick (1862-1890), sometimes erroneously referred to as John Merrick, was an English man known for his severe physical deformities. He was first exhibited at a freak show under the stage name ‘The Elephant Man’, and then went to live at the London Hospital, in Whitechapel, after meeting the surgeon Sir Frederick Treves. During his final years he was able to go into society where he met royalty, went on holidays to the countryside and achieved his dream of going to the theatre. The identity of the author of the manuscript and the dedicatee of the book are unknown, but the author is likely to be Charles Taylor. Taylor’s father William was the Chief Engineer at London Hospital when Frederick Treves took Merrick into his care in 1886. William managed to modify the two rooms where Merrick lived at the hospital, and even adapted a tub back armchair for his use. William introduced his seventeen-year-old son Charles to Merrick and they quickly formed a friendship, with Charles visiting regularly and even playing violin recitals for Merrick. This manuscript account of their friendship recounts a far more prosaic tale of a visit to the Drury Lane Theatre, [to see Puss in Boots], than that described in Treves’s more colourful published account. Transcription in full: ‘I suppose I had more to do with [Joseph] Merrick than any other of his friends, tho I have no distinct recollection of how we became acquainted: it must have been soon after he came into residence, certainly before any attempt had been made to make his room homelike: it was bare except for necessary furniture. Fortunately I had very little difficulty in understanding his diction. Nearly every day I managed to pay him a visit & chat for, occasionally, half an hour or so. He loved to talk but never seemed willing to discuss his past life: my job was to listen: he was always pleased to see me and when I left to go his invariable remark was “come again soon”. Freddy, an exhibitionist if there ever was one delighted in making him an excuse for meeting high ups in society. The visit to the pantomime varied somewhat from Freddy’s description. He asked me to accompany him - the E[lephant] M[an] on the expedition. We started off in a four wheeler which

According to Convict Records online, Robert Marchmont [sic] was transported on the Indefatigable, departing 30 September 1814 and arriving 26 April 1815 with 202 passengers. Additional contributor notes state that Robert Marshmant [sic], aged 16, was convicted of a rape on Eliz. Greenhill, at Trowbridge, Wiltshire. He was the son of Francis Marchment, a blacksmith of Marlborough, and his wife Sarah Marchment; and in the 1828 New South Wales census Marchmont was said to be 32, Protestant, and a shoemaker.

Henry Ellis (1777-1855), minister plenipotentiary in Persia from 1814 to 1815, was third commissioner and secretary to Lord Amherst’s British diplomatic mission to China of 1816-1817. The Amherst Embassy sought to negotiate improved trading conditions for the East India Company and to address British grievances, including the mistreatment of British subjects. The mission failed, however: Amherst and his commissioners refused to perform the kowtow ritual before the Jiaqing Emperor, and the embassy was dismissed and ordered to leave Peking without an imperial audience.

Elizabeth Greenhill (1801-1873) was born in Southwick, near Trowbridge on 6 December 1801, the daughter of John and Hannah Greenhill. Elizabeth would have therefore been just 12 years old at the time of the rape in early 1814. Elizabeth later married James Thorne in North Bradley, Wiltshire, in 1821. In various censuses, 1841-1871, Elizabeth’s occupation is given as grocer, publican and beer seller, and she seems to have had three daughters and one son. She died in Horningsham and was buried in Sutton Veny, near Warminster, Wiltshire. (1) £200 - £300

The warrant reproduces in full the English and Portuguese texts of two additional articles to the convention concluded at London on 28 July 1817, signed at Lisbon on 15 March 1823. These two articles closed a critical legal loophole regarding the detention of illicit transatlantic slave ships. Under the original 1817 treaty, British naval cruisers were strictly prohibited from detaining a suspected Portuguese slave ship unless enslaved people were actively found on board at the exact moment of interception. Slave traders exploited this by throwing enslaved people overboard or rushing them ashore when a British warship appeared. Article I altered this rule, dictating that if there was clear evidence that enslaved people had been on board during that speciﬁc voyage for the purpose of illegal trafﬁc, the vessel could be legally detained and condemned anyway. The second article, instead, regularised the administrative framework for the Mixed Commission Courts (established to judge captured ships). It established a formal procedure to rapidly replace judges or commissioners who died or fell ill, preventing slave traders from exploiting systemic legal delays caused by vacancies. (1) £250 - £350

The photographs frequently depict members of the SebagMonteﬁore and Viennese Rothschild families, especially Clarice and her husband, Alphonse, as well as numerous acquaintances, including Edward, Prince of Wales; Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff (German Ambassador to the United States leading up to the First World War); Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden; Prince Gottfried of Hohenlohe-Langenburg; Prince George of Russia; Baron and Baroness Springer; Prince Croy; Baroness Ringhoffer; and many others. The last album, covering the period from 1938 to October 1939, contains hints of the upcoming war and the struggles of the Rothschilds after the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany on 12 March 1938. A newspaper cutting entitled ‘Rothschild Victim of Nazis Wants to Live Here’ reports the imprisonment of Alphonse’s brother, Baron Louis, and Alphonse’s lucky escape. The album ends with the departure of Joan’s husband to serve in the army. (6) £600 - £800

439* Regicides of King Charles I. Final portion of a document with signatures of four regicides, Westminster, 26 May 1653, to Thomas Fauconberg, Receiver General of the Public Revenue, signed by Henry Vane and four regicides, Henry Mildmay, Nicholas Love, Humphrey Edwards and Cornelius Holland, brown ink on laid paper, 1 page, oblong 8vo (108 x 190 mm), presented in a modern mount aperture, together with an engraved portrait of Sir Henry Vane by Jacobus Houbraken after Peter Lely, printed by J. & P. Knapton, 1742, 37 x 23 cm Sir Henry Vane (the Younger): One of the most powerful political leaders of the Parliamentary faction and a former colonial governor of Massachusetts. Though he strongly opposed the King's execution and refused to take part in the trial, his staunch republicanism made him a primary target for the restored monarchy. He was executed for high treason in 1662. Sir Henry Mildmay: A courtier who turned against Charles I to support Parliament. He attended the trial of the King but did not sign the death warrant. In 1649, he was famously ordered to oversee the melting down and sale of the Crown Jewels. After the Restoration, he was stripped of his titles and sentenced to life imprisonment. Cornelius Holland: A dedicated republican who served as a commissioner at the King's trial but did not sign the death warrant. At the Restoration, he was explicitly excluded from the Indemnity and Oblivion Act. He successfully escaped to the European mainland and spent his remaining years in exile in Switzerland. Nicholas Love: An influential MP and magistrate who, like Mildmay and Holland, attended the King's trial but did not sign the actual death warrant. He was also excluded from pardon in 1660 and fled the country, eventually joining Holland in exile in Vevey, Switzerland. Humphrey Edwards: Edwards did sign the death warrant of King Charles I. He died in 1658 and so avoided the brutal executions or imprisonments faced by his fellow surviving regicide when Charles II returned to the throne in 1660. Thomas Belasyse, 1st Earl Fauconberg: an English military officer and diplomat. He supported the Parliamentary cause during the English Civil War, becoming closely associated with Oliver Cromwell and marrying Cromwell's third daughter, Mary Cromwell. After the Restoration of the monarchy, he became a member of the Privy Council under Charles II and was created an earl by William of Orange. (2) £300 - £500

Robert Phillipe Noonan (1870-1911), born Robert Croker, and best known by the pen name Robert Tressall (or Tressell), was an Irish writer best known for his novel The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists. He died prematurely before the book was published. Published under a pseudonym due to a fear of being blacklisted for the socialist views expressed within the work. George Orwell describes the work as conveying ‘the actual detail of manual work and the tiny things almost unimaginable to any comfortably situated person which makes life a misery when one’s income drops below a certain level’. (Orwell and the Dispossessed). It was recommended to Grant Richards by Jessie Pope. (5) £150 - £250

502 Operation Sea Lion Secret Invasion Handbook. Informationsheft G. B., [compiled by Walter Friedrich Schellenberg,], [published by the Security Service (SD) of the Reich Security Main Office, 1940], 99 pages, part-folding colour map, 17 black and white thematic maps of UK (covering water supply, railways, blast furnaces, steel mills, the electrical grid, ports, etc.), large fold-out chart featuring officers of the Metropolitan Police, 4 plates with reproductions of 29 passport photo of officers of the Secret Intelligence Service at rear, original linen-backed boards with red stamp ‘Geheim!’ lower centre, and stamped black numeral ‘143’ upper right, a little rubbed and soiled, folio (29 x 20 cm) An excellent copy of this rare book produced by Nazi Germany in preparation for the invasion of Great Britain, ‘Operation Sea Lion’. It was compiled by SS-Brigadeführer Walter Friedrich Schellenberg, or possibly Major Walter zu Christian, or a team. The manual covers useful information for an occupying force, such as British geography, economics, the political system, form of government, political parties, legal system, civil administration, armed forces, universities, police, important museums, press and radio, religion, ethnic groups, and trade unions. This copy stamped as ‘secret’ and number 143, and though the number of copies printed is unknown, it may have been as many as 20,000 copies. However, as the invasion was permanently shelved and Berlin fell in 1945, the vast majority of these classified documents were deliberately burned or shredded by the Reich Security Main Office to prevent them from falling into Allied hands, so survivals are rare. Copies are held by the Imperial War Museum in London, The Wiener Holocaust Library, and the Hoover Institution Library and Archives in the United States. A rare supplement to the book, Sonderfahndungsliste G.B., the ‘Special Wanted List, GB’ (also known as ‘The Black Book’) was published separately, being a list of over 2,000 prominent British residents to be arrested after a successful invasion by Nazi Germany.

The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is £1,000 or more. The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty 4.00% 3.00% 1.00% 0.50%

For the Portion of the Hammer Price up to £50,000 between £50,000.01 and £200,000 between £200,000.01 and £350,000 between £350,000.01 and £500,000

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account. 3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 22% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 22% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
