Rising high in the queen’s estimation (she gave Hatton the nickname of “lids” or “sheep”) he became a privy councillor in 1577, that same year he was made vice-chamberlain of the household and knighted. The above document shows the close relationship Hatton had with the family of William Cecil, Lord Burghley (his nephew Sir William Hatton (c. 1565-97), married the daughter of Thomas Cecil). Hatton was appointed Lord Chancellor in 1587. He died in 1591, associated with much of the high politics of Elizabeth I’s reign.

In 1616 a “case arose which pitted common-law rights against episcopal privilege. James supplemented the income of John Overall, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, with the profits of an additional rectory, granted in commendam, only to see a landowner challenge his action. James wrote to the judges that the case concerned his power to govern the church, and asked that they stay proceedings until he decided whether further consultation between judges and churchmen was required. His position was strengthened by a writ which Bacon produced, non procedendo rege inconsulto, allowing the king to intervene in cases close to royal interests, which the attorney-general had tested in other cases. The judges countered unanimously, in a reply drafted probably by Coke, that the king’s letter was ‘contrary to law’ and that ‘our oath in express words is that in case any letter comes to use contrary to law that we do nothing by such letters... . Responding forcefully, James summoned the judges before the privy council, tore up their letter, and demanded of each judge whether he would obey any future royal order. All the judges save Coke backed down.” - Oxford DNB. Another contemporary manuscript copy of this work is located at the Morgan Library in New York, in which the authorship of this tract is no longer considered to be by Bacon.

26 Ralegh [Raleigh] (Sir Walter, courtier, explorer, and author, 1554-1618) AN APOLOGIE WRITTEN BY SR WALT. RALEIGH TOUCHING HIS VOYAGE TO GUYANA, IMEDIATLIE UPON HIS LANDING AT PLYMOUTH ANO DOM. 1618, manuscript (title in a fine cursive and text in Secretary hand), 5pp., some words crossed out, disbound, Pot watermark, folio, [?1618]. ⁂ “I HAVE SPENT MY POORE ESTATE, LOST MY SONNE, AND MY HEALTH, AND ENDURED AS MANY SORTS OF MISERIES, AS EVER MAN DID... .” - Ralegh. A near contemporary copy of Ralegh’s justification of his landing on Spanish territory in the New World, against the explicit instructions of his commission. This manuscript corresponds to the section of the printed work of 1650, with the subheading: A Letter of Sir Walter Rawleigh to my Lord Carew touching Guiana, starting at: “Because I know not whether I shall live to come before the Lords...”, and ending: “it yet may please to adde more affliction to the remainder of a wretched life.” An account of Ralegh’s second expedition to Guiana in search of El Dorado, the mythical city of gold that he convinced himself lay beyond the town of San Tomé in the interior of the continent. The expedition was bedevilled from the start, the ships being detained by weather off the coast of Ireland for two months. While at sea, Ralegh became unwell with fever and when the fleet arrived off the coast of Guiana he nominated Lawrence Keymis, his second in command to take five ships and sail into the delta of the Orinoco. With Ralegh’s nephew, George Ralegh in command of the land forces, they made a pre-planned attack on the Spanish town of San Tomé, knowingly violating the king’s commission. In the assault, Ralegh’s son, Walter, was killed. Keymis entrusted the expedition into the interior to George Ralegh who travelled 300 miles in launches up the Orinoco river and found nothing but jungle. Keymis on his return was met with accusations of incompetence by Ralegh, and committed suicide. Faced with mutiny and desertion, Ralegh returned to Plymouth and was escorted to London by his cousin Sir Lewis Stucley. “At Salisbury, Ralegh wrote an Apology for the Voyage to Guiana, insisting that Guiana was English territory, and that the actions against Spanish authorities there were entirely justified. James arrived in the city on his summer progress, apparently rejected the Apology, and ordered Ralegh on to London.” (Oxford DNB). Old and sick, Ralegh was brought before commissioners of the privy council and after some legal wrangling, was condemned to death, not for his actions in Guiana, but a fulfilment of the sentence of his original treason trial in 1603. Ralegh was executed in Old Palace Yard on the morning of 29 October 1618. His head was placed in a red leather bag and carried away by Lady Ralegh, and his body was buried in St Margaret’s Church, Westminster. £3,000 - 4,000 Buyer’s premium is applicable on every lot.

ON THE

ACT

SUPREMACY. “...

THIS INDICTMENT IS

GROUNDED UPON AN ACT OF P[AR]LIAM[EN]T DIRECTLY REPUGNANT TO THE LAWE OF GOD.”

An early 17th century copy of the life of St Thomas More, written by his son-in-law, William Roper for Nicholas Harpsfield’s biography, The life and death of Sr Thomas Moore, knight. The biography was written during Queen Mary I’s reign and dedicated to William Roper, but it was not published until 1932. “... Roper’s life of More. This is an attractive personal memoir, marked by candour, modesty, and strong loyalty. It is based explicitly on personal recollection, which, however, sometimes needs correction. Roper’s portrait of More as a model lord chancellor has been modified in detail by later scholarship, and there is a serious anachronism in his last paragraph (fully discussed by R. W. Chambers in Harpsfield, 353-5). But the book remains an English classic, the earliest personal biography in the language. It has also left its mark on all subsequent writing on More.” - Oxford DNB.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND’S ABOLISHMENT OF THE SCOTTISH EPISCOPACY. “In March 1639 Charles issued private instructions for Traquair to fortify and arm Edinburgh Castle, a task which the treasurer soon found logistically impossible to execute, obliging him to garrison Dalkeith Palace until a suitable opportunity arose to transport the weapons into Edinburgh. This chance never came, as Traquair quickly surrendered the palace and its contents to David Leslie, whose team of 1000 musketeers surrounded Dalkeith on 19 March. Traquair immediately went underground, resurfacing in York with Charles himself in April, and later returned to Scotland as lord high commissioner to the general assembly of August. This session resulted in the abolition of episcopacy in Scotland, but the treasurer seems only to have conceded this as a means of buying time, as shown by his strategic postponement of parliament (which would have ratified the assembly legislation) to June 1640.” - Oxford DNB. £2,000 - 3,000

Westminster Abbey website records that James was baptised at the Earl of Rochester’s house in the Cockpit area of Whitehall. He died in 1719 and was buried in the abbey.

THE MOST SACRED BIBLE, WHICHE IS THE HOLY SCRIPTURE, CONTEYNING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT, TRANSLATED...BY RYCHARD TAVERNER, printed in black letter, preliminaries single column, text double column, lacking 2 preliminary ff. and blank leaf 3N4 at end of OT, otherwise complete, titles within woodcut architectural borders, OT trimmed to edge of border, mounted on 19th century paper with some surface abrasion causing slight loss, and loose, woodcut initials, several preliminary leaves badly torn, frayed and creased, first c.60 leaves and a few at end with 19th century guards/repairs to inner margins and sometimes elsewhere with some loss to side-notes, other tears to various leaves throughout, some leaves, especially near beginning trimmed at upper edge affecting headline, some staining, particularly at beginning and end, a few early ink annotations, mostly to verso of final leaf with some partially obscured by later paper repair, signature A (first 6 leaves of Genesis misbound after signature B, NT without signature K as in all known copies, 19th century vellum, gilt, black leather spine labels lettered in gilt, one slightly chipped, a little soiled and stained, front cover starting to bow, [Herbert 45], folio (271 x 190mm.), Prynted...by John Bydell, for Thomas Barthlet, 1539. ⁂ AN ALMOST COMPLETE COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION OF TAVERNER’S BIBLE, A REVISION OF MATTHEW’S BIBLE OF 1537. Despite the poor condition of the preliminary leaves, they are probably for the most part reparable and the vast majority of the text is in generally good condition. “Richard Taverner (1505?-1575), the author of this revision, was born in Brisley in Norfolk about 1505. He was a scholar of both Cambridge and Oxford and received his Master’s degree of Cambridge in 1530. He had high repute for his Greek scholarship, and was at this time Clerk of the King’s Signets, and in the employ of Thomas Cromwell. He lost his position under Queen Mary but under Queen Elizabeth I was appointed High Sheriff of Oxfordshire. In his corrections of the text, Taverner aims at compression and vividness. He substitutes in many places a Saxon for a Latin word, as spokesman for advocate; and does not hesitate to coin words, as mercystock (1 John i.2). Many marginal notes are omitted, and some new comments added. Taverner’s work exercised practically no influence on later revisions (Westcott, History, p. 219), although he introduced parable, passover and a few other terms still in use. There are many peculiarities in the spelling - e.g. peax for peace, hable for able, etc.” (Herbert). Only four copies have appeared at auction since 1988 and all have been substantially less complete than this. £20,000 - 30,000

Tyndale’s prologue to Jonah is reprinted here for the first time since its appearance in late 1531. The type-face is a “rather peculiar black-letter” (Herbert).

Karsavina et Alexandra Fedorova’, sheet 335 x 255 mm (13¼ x 10 in), bears circular ink stamp ‘Paris, Douanes, Exposition’ verso, unframed, [circa 1909-1930s] Provenance: Eardley Knollys, friend and associate of the Bloomsbury Group, artist, critic and owner of the Storran Gallery, London. Exhibited: ‘Benois’, Storran Gallery, London, ca.1941 ⁂ An important design relating to the very first production to be staged by Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, in Paris in 1909, making it also, as noted on this design, the very first sight the Parisian audience would have of this rising star, Nijinsky. Alexandre Benois can claim a huge amount of the credit for this ballet, writing the libretto and designing the sets as well as the costumes. It was choreographed by Michel Fokine, with music written by Nikolai Tcherepnin. When first performed at the Mariinsky, the principal dancers alongside Nijinsky were Anna Pavlova as Armida and Pavel Gerdt as Vicomte René de Beaugency. When it transferred to the Théâtre de Châtelet in Paris, those roles were first performed by Vera Karalli and Mikhail Mordkin, respectively. Benois produced related designs not only at the production’s first inception, but for its revised staging in Paris and again, significantly, in the 1930s as he reflected on and re-imagined some of his work as he assembled his memoirs for eventual publication in 1941 and prepared for the dedicated one-man show at the Storran Gallery. The present drawing would appear to be from the latter reflections, highlighting his continuing and evolving fascination with this pioneering ballet. £8,000 - 12,000 76

230 Colony of Virginia.- CERTAINE DIRECTIONS FOR THE SENDING OF MEN, COMODITIES, & CATTLE TO VIRGINIA, manuscript in Secretary hand, 10pp., a few small stains in margins, edges chipped, disbound, folio, [? c. 1609]. ⁂ ADVICE TO PROSPECTIVE “PASSENGERS” AND COLONISTS TO VIRGINIA. The manuscript details previous experiences, such as when to arrive (“beginninge of July”), types of farmers, (“should be lustie”), what to do on their first arrival (“let them take good care of lying on the ground”), and what sort of amounts of commodities for trading (“be 1200 l”), provisions and allowances of food “bisket bread”). Subheadings comprise: (1). Trading: “ﬀor Comodities that are fittest to be carried to Virginia, and these most ysefull and vendible...”; (2). Provisions. “A note of the quantitie of such provisions as are to be laden aboard any Ship that goes for Virginia to carry the proporcon of 500 Passingers. The time they must lay their victuall in for must be 3 moneths or 90 daies”. (3). The allowances that is daily made... this rate to a Messe, foure Men being accounted a Messe... .” Of the advice in this manuscript for colonising Virginia, the 1609 expedition seems to be the most apposite. The writer has drawn on previous expeditions and is aware of the qualities prospective colonists will need, what sort of vendible stock to take for trade (rugs, blankets, wine etc.), and food (“Oates”), in particular cattle (“They are of great prize in Virginia”).

Most colonists were unsuited to farming, and other factors such as adverse weather conditions and poor relations with the First Nations people resulted in extremely high mortality rates. The colonies main hope of survival were the supply ships and this manuscript probably relates to the Third Supply which led to shipwreck of the Sea Venture at Bermuda with the loss of essential supplies for the colony. This led to the “Starving Time” in the winter of 1609-1610, the abandonment of the settlement at Jamestown and its reestablishment by a Fourth Supply mission in 1610.

Panckoucke, 1821-30. ⁂ THE RARE "PANCKOUCKE" EDITION, COMPLETE WITH ALL PLATES. This monumental work was the fruit of the scholarly enterprise envisioned by Napoleon during his invasion into Egypt in the late 1790s. Over 160 scholars and scientists, known as the "savants", accompanied the French army - including figures like Monge, Berthollet, Fourier, Geoﬀroy-Saint-Hilaire, Redoute, and Savigny - their aim being to produce the first ever scientific survey of Egyptian antiquities, culture, language, natural history, geography, ethnography etc. Defeated by the British and forced to relinquish the expedition's physical bounty, famously including the Rosetta stone, the French nonetheless negotiated to retain their scholarly notes. More than a decade later of careful collaboration, these notes emerged as this landmark collection. Not only arguably one of the most beautiful plate books of the nineteenth century, Le Description de l'Egypte established a new academic discipline, becoming the foundational work of Egyptology, and similarly sparked the vibrant wave of Egyptomania across Europe. The first edition appeared beginning in 1809, and this second edition, produced by the Charles Louis Fleury Panckoucke, was begun nearly before the first was completed, reproducing the plates of the first in full, without the hand colouring. This copy includes the hand-coloured frontispiece often missing. The plate volumes comprise: (i) Antiquities, 5 vol. [hand-coloured frontispiece, 3 additional engraved plates ("Medailles trouvees en Syrie," "Tableau synoptique des constellations" Plate A, "Produits de la machine a graver"), 16 numbered engraved plates of the Rosetta Stone (on 8 sheets), 419 numbered engraved plates, plate 103 of Etat Moderne (misbound)]; (ii) Etat Moderne, 2 vol.

7.3

Save as expressly set out above, all other warranties, conditions or other terms which might have effect between the Seller and you or be implied or incorporated by statute, common law or otherwise are excluded to the fullest extent that they can be lawfully excluded.

Descriptions and condition

8.1

Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on: (a) information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and (b) our opinion (as set out in Clause 8.3).

8.2

We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (including any agents or consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot and of any other characteristics of a Lot relevant to your decision to place a bid. We shall not be responsible for your failure to properly inspect a Lot.

8.3

Any statements by us about any Lot, including but not limited to its authorship, attribution, authenticity, origin, date, age, period, culture, provenance, source, material, condition or estimated selling price, whether oral or in writing, are matters of our opinion genuinely held but are not to be relied on as a statement of fact or contractual representation. We do not warrant that we have carried out a detailed inspection of each Lot. Any references to dimensions or weight are approximate only.

132

as far as the Seller is aware, the main characteristics of the Lot set out in the auction catalogue (as amended by any notice displayed in the saleroom, on our Website or any Bidding Platform or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction) are correct.

Any photographs that we provide are for identification purposes only and may not reveal a Lot's condition or be accurate in colour or other features. Please note that the majority of Lots sold by the Auctioneer are second-hand and will not be in perfect condition. Lots are sold “as is” at the time of the auction. Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of any Lot. Condition reports are provided by us free of charge (on request) as a guide for the Bidder/Buyer but are not intended to be exhaustive assessments of an item's condition and may not refer to all flaws or defects in an item. Furthermore, the Auctioneer and its employees are not trained conservators and can only offer their opinion on condition. You must rely on your own assessment or independent professional advice in relation to the condition of any Lot.

Lots are sold “as is” (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction).
