1 JOYCE, JAMES ULYSSES London: for the Egoist Press by John Rodker, Paris, 1922. 4to (22.4 x 16.2cm), contemporary grosgrain brown morocco by Podesta, spine gilt in compartments, raised bands, arabesque centrepieces gilt to covers within concentric gilt frames, maroon crushed morocco doublures gilt, fore and bottom edges untrimmed, with the half-title, limitation leaf, publisher’s apology leaf, and all 3 divisional numeral leaves, the list of errata (8 pp.) bound in at rear (issued laid in), the initial two blanks and final blank apparently original, text-block browned, occasional marks and blemishes [Slocum & Cahoon 18] Note: First UK edition, the second overall, one of 2,000 numbered copies, of which 500 (according to a statement in later printings of the work) were seized and destroyed by U.S. Customs. Printed from the plates of the first edition, published by Shakespeare and Company a few months before, the Egoist Press edition is sometimes described as the second issue of the first edition.

£800-1,200

2 ORWELL, GEORGE NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR A Novel. London: Secker & Warburg, 1949. First edition, first impression, 8vo, 312 pp., original green cloth, spine lettered in red, top edge of text-block dyed red, with the dust jacket (in red), spine rolled, spotting to cloth and endpapers, ownership inscription to front pastedown, bookseller’s ink-stamp to front free endpaper, pp. 179-80 dog-eared, dust jacket price-clipped, spine-panel faded and chipped, a few other nicks and chips to extremities £2,000-3,000

3 ELIOT, T. S. THE WASTE LAND New York: Boni and Liveright, 1922. 8vo, 64 pp., original black cloth over flexible boards, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, glassine inner wrapper, salmon-pink dust jacket printed in black, publisher’s prospectus (‘The Modern Library’, 4 pp.) laid in, second half-title clumsily opened along top edge with marginal loss, otherwise unopened throughout, dust jacket spine-panel darkened, rubbed and chipped and with tape-repairs verso, glassine wrapper with shallow chipping to edges [Gallup A6a] Note: First edition, number 261 of 1,000 copies, in the first binding of flexible cloth and with the figures in the colophon 5mm high: one of approximately 500 copies thus, this copy almost entirely unopened, and retaining the rare glassine inner wrapper. According to Eliot’s bibliographer, the ‘first copies printed’ had the correct spelling of the word ‘mountain’ in line 339 (page 41), whereas ‘in later copies the “a” has dropped out’. However, the high incidence of copies in the first binding and numbered within the initial 500, but with the text in the purported second state, suggests that the sheets, once printed, were selected for binding at random.

£6,000-8,000

8 MACDIARMID, HUGH A DRUNK MAN LOOKS AT THE THISTLE Falkland: Kulgin Duval & Colin H. Hamilton [printed by the Officina Bodoni], 1969. 4to, original vellum-backed patterned boards, top edge gilt (others uncut), 8 woodcut illustrations by Frans Masereel, one of 160 copies signed by the author, artist, and printer G. Mardersteig, printed on Amalfi paper, light spotting on endpapers, with cardboard slipcase [Barr Officina Bodoni 83] Provenance: Presentation copy, with inscription on front free endpaper dated June 1970, from MacDiarmid to Douglas Sealy (1929-2013), Irish critic, teacher and translator, ‘inscribed with gratitude and affection to Douglas Seeley [sic] who has tyawed with the root-hewn text of this poem and been of great help in many ways.’ Sealy subsequently contributed an article on MacDiarmid and Gaelic literature to the 1972 publication ‘Hugh MacDiarmid: a Critical Survey.’ Note: Kulgin Duval and Colin Hamilton were major contributors to Scottish life and letters in the 20th century as book collectors, publishers, booksellers and patrons of Scottish poets. Their most significant and enduring literary relationship was with Hugh MacDiarmid. Some of their most highly-regarded publications were of his work, with this illustrated edition of MacDiarmid’s 1926 masterpiece ‘A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle,’ being regarded as the best of them. Giovanni (Hans) Mardersteig (1892-1977) was one the leading printers and typographers of the 20th century. Born in Germany, in the 1920s he founded in Switzerland the Officina Bodoni, a private press named after the 18th-century Italian engraver and typographer, Giambattista Bodoni, from whose original matrices he cast the type used to print his first books on a hand press. He later moved to Italy, where he spent the rest of his life producing high quality printing and designing typefaces, the best known being Dante. ‘A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle’ was the second collaboration between Duval and Mardersteig on a MacDiarmid text, Mardersteig having printed ‘The Kind of Poetry I Want’ in 1961.

For the next two decades he pursued a mixed career as an art scholar and dealer, before becoming landlord of the Spread Eagle, Thame, in 1922. Under his stewardship the Spread Eagle became a favoured haunt of literary society, and Oxford undergraduates including Evelyn Waugh and the Hypocrites Club, providing the model for the hotel in Thame to which Anthony Blanche takes Charles Ryder in Brideshead Revisited. His memoir of his career, An Innkeeper’s Diary, published in 1931, was an instant success, and later filmed for the BBC with Robert Hardy in the title role.

38 SCOTS MAGAZINE VOLUMES 1-93 Edinburgh: W. Sands, A. Brymer, A. Murray and J. Cochran [et al.], 1739-1824. First edition, 93 volumes bound in 92 (volumes 79 and 80 bound in one), 8vo (19.5 x 12cm), 19th-century half calf, gilt labels and raised bands to spines, boards rubbed, areas of loss to some heads and/or tails of spines, general discolouration, occasional foxing and areas of dampstaining, a few with modern ink annotations, with approximately 170 engraved plates, maps and plans (of approx. 187), the plates collated in accordance with ‘Directions to Binder’, where present. A full list of extant plates is available on request. Sold as a periodical, not subject to return (92) Note: First published in 1739, ‘The Scots Magazine’ is claimed to be the world’s oldest magazine still in publication today. In 1804 the then owner of ‘The Scots Magazine,’ Edinburgh publisher Archibald Constable, merged it with the ‘Edinburgh Magazine and Literary Miscellany’ to form ‘The Scots magazine and Edinburgh literary miscellany.’ In 1817 the title was relaunched as ‘The Edinburgh magazine, and literary miscellany’ also titled as “a new series of the Scots Magazine,” which ran until 1826. Volumes 1-18 of this title were also numbered 80-97, in recognition of the previous iterations of the title. By 1826 sales had declined to such a point that the title was withdrawn. Attempts to revive the name as the New Scots Magazine in 1828 and the Scots Weekly Magazine in 1832 were unsuccessful. The spine numbering of this set has the correct continuous volume numbering 1-93, but from 1818 onwards there are two separately bound volumes for each year and the binder has incorrectly assigned a different year for each volume on the spine label. Noteworthy content includes: volume 38, pp. 433-436 for 1776, a contemporary printing of the American Declaration of Independence, and p. 457 fold-out Map of the Country round Philadelphia including Part of New Jersey, New York, Staten Island & Long Island; contemporary commentary on the 1745 Jacobite Uprising, volumes 7 and 8, including vol. 7 p. 397 Bonnie Prince Charlie’s arrival in Scotland and vol. 8 p. 215-219 an account of the Battle of Culloden, with plan of ‘The order of battle on Culloden moor April 16’.

Scott’s diary left many facets of the expedition and the experiences of its men untold: it was Cherry-Garrard who pulled the entire story of the main party together. He was uniquely suited to do so. He was a member of the main party for the expedition’s entire duration, had access to unpublished sources, and was the only member of the Winter Journey to survive the expedition. Most of all, he had the sensibilities and extraordinary literary genius necessary to cope with the complex and tragic subject of the Polar Journey ... The book Cherry-Garrard left behind is a monument immortalizing the expedition in the annals of Antarctic exploration and geographic exploration in general’ (Rosove).

pebble-grain cloth lettered and decorated in gilt and blind, 123 pp., folding table, spine dust soiled and worn at head, internally clean, rare (no copies recorded in WorldCat); Mar Del Plata Golf Club. Reglamento Del Golf, Sancionado por el Royal & Ancient Golf Club de St. Andrews.

Septiembre 24 de 1912 (A regir desde Febrero 1 de 1913). Buenos Aires: [Monqaut & Bonthoux, 1912]. 18mo (10.6 x 6.7cm), original cloth, xxiii, [1], 61 pp., light spotting to initial and final leaves, occasional ink annotations, rare (no copies recorded in WorldCat) (2) Note: Golf was introduced to Argentina in the late 19th century by British, Irish and Scottish railway engineers and executives. An ex-pat Scot, Valentin Scroggie [Valentine George Gilfillan Scroggie (1853-1924)], who is believed to have played the first recorded golf match in 1892 in San Martin, is considered the father of the sport in Argentina. Initially, there were only a few clubs in the Buenos Aires area, who played their own versions of the rules. In 1897, The River Plate Amateur Championship Executive was founded to organise an annual match play tournament for members of the various clubs. Mar del Plata Golf Club, ‘the Cathedral of Golf,’ was one of the first golf clubs in Argentina and was formally founded in 1900 by British workers. Membership was dominated by English-speaking ex-pats; however, the 1912 rulebook, presumably a private publication for members, was aimed at the growing community of Spanish-speaking Argentinian players, translating the official rules of the Royal and Ancient Club of St. Andrews into their native language, along with recommendations for local rules, golf etiquette, terms and definitions, and a match play handicap table. In 1926, the Argentinian golf clubs met to formalise a national association with a board of directors, and official regulations. The 1927 publication was the first official publication of the Argentine Golf Association. It includes a list of member clubs, details of the board of directors, regulations and the official rules of golf, in Spanish, approved by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club (these were approved by the board in September of 1926, but were only legally constituted in November 1927). It also includes the results of the Argentine championships of 1926 and 1927, in both the men’s and women’s categories, as well as the results of the ‘Argentinians vs. Foreigners’ tournaments. Many of the players were of English, Irish, or Scottish origin, including Valentin Scroggie.

[And:] ‘Tippoo Saibs Two Sons delivered up to Lord Cornwallis as Hostages after he had gloriously conquered that Proud Sultan at Seringapatam the Capital of the Mysore Country in the East Indies in 1792’. Embroideries after the pair of mezzotints originally published by Robert Sayer in 1792, each worked in silk, cotton, felted wool and metallic thread on linen, the figures’ hands and faces hand-painted on card, and title embroidered to foot. Separately framed and glazed (37 x 27.5cm) (2) Note: A striking visual artefact of the jubilant popular response to the British victory over Tipu Sultan in the Third AngloMysore War, depicting a moment which assumed emblematic significance for an empire rapidly expanding by force of arms in an age of sensibility. ‘In the spring of 1792, word reached England that Lord Charles Cornwallis, Governor-General of India, had at long last defeated Tipu Sultan, the so-called ‘Tiger of Mysore.’ Tipu … Britain’s greatest foe in India, had agreed to Cornwallis’s terms of surrender, which included the handing over of two of his sons as hostages. This event quickly became the most celebrated aspect in contemporary visual accounts of the victory over Tipu in the Third Mysore War, providing artists with material both propagandistic and sentimental. Cornwallis, assuming the role of the boys’ father, demonstrated magnanimity toward the sons of his enemy, thereby inverting captivity narratives such as those of British subjects held prisoner by Tipu … The story of Cornwallis’s reception of the hostage princes was rapidly disseminated through periodicals and books, and illustrated by several artists in oil paintings and engravings’ (Anderson, ‘Tipu Sultan’s Sons and Images of Paternalism in Late Eighteenth-Century Romantic British Art’, in Weber, ed., Romanticism and Parenting: Image, Instruction and Ideology, 2007, pp. 7-8).

Mackenzie from original sketches by Colonel Hunter Blair, vignettes, lacking half-title, front endpaper and frontispiece detached, offsetting from plates to text, spine leather split with joint of upper board cracking, boards and corner tips worn, remains of a linen repair to the corner tips, headband for tail of spine worn, additional later endpapers yellowed and torn Provenance: Bookplate on front pastedown of American collectors Walter and Dorothy Donnelly, Walter (1900-1981) was editor of the University of Michigan Press when he retired in 1970; Dorothy (1903-1994) was an award-winning poet.

During the next five years Tod earned the respect of the chiefs and people, and was able to rescue more than one princely family, including that of the ranas of Udaipur, from the destitution to which they had been reduced by Maratha raiders’ (ODNB). The present account appeared posthumously.

The journey took thirteen months and so captured the public’s imagination that Burnes was welcomed back to England in 1833 as a hero … In 1834 he published an officially sanctioned account of his journey … The book, Travels into Bokhara … was an instant success, selling 900 copies on the first day. It is noteworthy for the freshness and acuteness of its descriptions and, given the times, the relatively cosmopolitan outlook of its author’ (ODNB).

Note: An interesting and circumspect eyewitness account of the First Anglo-Afghan War by the chief medical officer of the Bombay division of the Army of the Indus. The author’s preface implies a sceptical view of British policy in Afghanistan, the Sikh Empire, and Sindh: ‘the propriety of such interference at Kaubool … of the policy throughout pursued towards Runjet Sing, and the system so long persevered in and so concluded in Sind, are parts of a great whole, which must soon be developed in all its wisdom or the reverse … and the cost, as proportioned to the benefit, supposing it to be a benefit, must soon be counted’.

His narrative is especially important as an eyewitness account of Sindh and the Sikh Empire on the eve of the British conquest of Sindh and of the First Anglo-Sikh War. The work was first published in German the same year as Reise in Ostindien in Briefen an Alexander von Humboldt und Carl Ritter.

Westmacott to ‘H.M.S.W .and ’D.W.,’ commencing in Umballa, 24th March 1857 and finishing in Bolarum, 1st June 1859, written from various places including Mhow and Allahabad, referring to action in India during the Indian Mutiny and its aftermath, together with 4 pp. ‘List of Officers mentioned’ and ‘Contents,’ in ink, and 2 pp. pencil list of regiments mentioned. Note: George Richard Westmacott (1832-82), grandson of the sculptor Sir Richard Westmacott and son of Captain Robert Marsh Westmacott, was born in Sydney, his family having moved to Australia in 1831. He joined the Bengal Infantry c. 1849. At the time of the Indian Mutiny he was serving as lieutenant in the Hyderabad Contingent, an army of the Nizam of Hyderabad staffed by British officers. The Contingent worked closely with the Madras Army of the East India Company and was loyal to the British during the Indian Mutiny. Westmacott was raised to captain in 1864, then major at the time of his marriage in 1866, and later became a colonel in the Bengal Staff Corps. The journal is a collection of extracts in chronological order, copied out from Westmacott’s letters, presumably to his family, who had moved back to England by this time. The extracts describe in great detail the progress of the Indian Mutiny and his part in putting it down, including some close escapes from death, ‘I am not scragged yet although there is no knowing when I may be.’

Gandhi was arrested by the British in May 1930 for violating the Salt Law. The three issues from July to September 1930 are printed via lithography or mimeography rather than letterpress owing to the confiscation of printing equipment by the British authorities, as discussed in the July number, which also contains a dispatch on Gandhi’s activities in prison: ‘This week Gandhiji writes in his general letter that he is spinning for four hours a day, and adds: ‘I feel a certain amount of physical exhaustion when working at the wheel … But to-day this is my penance, hence I cling to it’’.

207 GOVERNMENT OF INDIA ALQABNAMAH List showing the Names, Titles and Modes of Address of the More Important Sovereigns, Ruling Princes, Chiefs, Nobles, etc., having Relations with the Indian Government. Corrected up to the 5th October 1935. New Delhi: Government of India Press, 1935. Folio (33.4 x 21cm), original boards, rebacked, [4] iii [2] 2-117 pp., text in English and Arabic, the text updated throughout in manuscript (red and black inks) and with printed slips (tipped in or pasted down), 9 lists of ‘Addenda and Corrigenda’ (numbered 1-8 and 13, dated 1936-42) tipped to the initial blank (many with sections excised for incorporation into main text), covers marked, paper residue partly obscuring royal arms on front cover, wear to extremities Note: One of 80 copies only of the sole identified edition of this key resource for Britain’s changing relations with the rulers of the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East in the interwar period, marked ‘confidential’ on the title-page. One other copy found in auction records, sold by Lyon & Turnbull in 2023, and one institutional copy traced, at the British Library (shelfmark IOR/R/15/1/734). According to the British Library, the ‘Alqabnamah’, Persian for ‘Book of Titles’, was first compiled in 1865, but if copies of earlier iterations were ever printed, it is possible that the present edition of 1935 was the first to be published in book form. The work covers the protocols of addressing the ruling princes and chiefs of India, in addition to the rulers of independent states, including Tibet, Nepal and Siam, ‘miscellaneous states’, including Zanzibar, Muhammarah, Indore, Arcot and Bombay, and protectorate rulers. This last group includes the sultan of Muscat and Oman, the rulers of various sultanates in modern-day Yemen, and the sheikhs of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and of each the Trucial States, that is, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Ra’s al-Khaymah, Sharjah and Umm al-Quwain. Each ruler is listed under seven headings: Name of state or place of residences; Name and address in English; Commencement and conclusion of letter in English and colour of crest; Highest British authority by whom hitherto addressed; Name and address in Persian or Arabic; No. of Guns [for salutes]; and Remarks. The additions and corrections in this copy, in the form of printed slips and manuscript annotations, record rulers’ deaths and the identities of the successors, and reflect the changing status of different powers, with rulers such as the sheikhs of Bahrain and Kuwait being promoted from the title of Excellency to Highness, while the sultan of Muscat and Oman’s entry is updated to reflect his appointment as Knight Commander of the Indian Empire, though with the added detail that ‘The letters K.C.I.E. should not be employed in communications’.

His presentation, in tables and cartes figuratives, showed that the rates of crime and suicide remained remarkably stable over time, when broken down by age, sex, region of France and even month or season of the year; yet, these numbers also varied systematically across departments of France. This regularity and variation of “social numbers” created the possibility to conceive, for the first time, that human actions in the social world were governed by social laws, just as inanimate objects were governed by laws of the physical world’ (Michael Friendly, ‘The Life and Works of André-Michel Guerry (1802-1866)’, 2007, online).

244 EAST INDIA COMPANY PERSONAL ARCHIVE OF JOHN MCDOUGAL HAMILTON AND HIS FAMILY A collection of c. 150 manuscripts, mostly letters, but also official documents and certificates, books etc., relating to the Hamilton family of Edinburgh between 1812-1892. The majority of the collection consists of letters by John McDougal Hamilton (1818-88), soldier in the army of the East India Company to family members. The letters provide a fascinating record of life in the Indian sub-continent from a Scot from a relatively humble background, who devoted his life to the army, rising eventually to the rank of lieutenant. He gives detailed descriptions of local culture, religious practices, food and flora and fauna, accounts of his experiences as a teacher (“dominie”), his travels, and military life in a clerical, non-combatant, role. In a series of notes written during August and September 1857, intended to be sent back to his family, he gives his own personal experiences of the Indian Mutiny while stationed in Meerut. The main contents are as follows: 1812 marriage certificate of John McDougal Hamilton’s parents, Andrew Hamilton, weaver, Canongate, Edinburgh to Margaret Robertson; 1835 printed document with blank spaces for manuscript details confirming that Andrew Hamilton has been receiving a pension of 9d. per day since being discharged from the 10th regiment of foot in 1805 for a lame arm and shoulder and had not been in receipt of any other pension; 1840 recruitment document (printed with blank spaces for manuscript details) recording answers given by John McDougal Hamilton (occupation clerk) to questions about his current circumstances when enlisting in the army of the East India Company); ring binder containing c. 100 letters and documents mainly relating to and by John McDougal Hamilton while based in India, but also with 3 letters to John by his brother, Robert (d. 1856), also serving in the army in India, under the enlisted name of ‘John Jamieson.’ The letters, filed in chronological order, date from 1841 to c.1870 and were sent to various family members: his mother (d. 1860), his brother Andrew (d. 1878), his sister-in-law Martha (d. 1887), and Andrew’s sons and daughter, John (d. 1892), Andrew (d. 1923) and Martha (d. 1889). Most, but not all, of the letters have a typescript transcription, done by John Buist. Also included in the ring binder are: a manuscript document confirming Hamilton’s position in Calcutta as Deputy Assistant Commissary with the rank of Honorary Ensign, documents relating to the posthumous settlement of business affairs of Hamilton, his brother Andrew and sister-in-law, Martha, documents relating to his nephew John, who left the Midlothian and Peebles Asylum (Rosslynlee Hospital) in 1891, travelled to New York and died there of alcoholism in 1892; a copy of the article “India as it was” by John Buist in the ‘Scottish Education Journal’ (3.9.1975), manuscript texts, both 12 ff., of two short ‘Mess stories’: “Time Daly’s Tiger” and “The letter of Introduction” presumably both written by Hamilton; miscellaneous loose documents relating to Hamilton’s career in Edinburgh and his family’s business affairs, including: leaves of press clippings of stories written by Hamilton in India and published in instalments in a local newspaper or periodical, “Allan Armytage: a

Chronicle of Edinburgh” “Diaries of Marches in In India, to a Friend at Home”; manuscript document dated 1875, confirming that the retired Hamilton will be entitled to draw a pension of £90 per year; correspondence 1882-85 relating to Hamilton’s attempts to get his prose and verse collection ‘Weeds and Flowers’ (first published in Calcutta in 1863) re-published and sold to subscribers by The London and Provincial Literary Association and the latter’s efforts to get him to pay the associated publication costs; 1892 New York death certificate for Hamilton’s nephew, John; printed material: 4 copies of Hamilton’s pamphlet ‘Collected Contributions to the Secundra Messenger’ (Agra, 1868), volume, no.1 of an unrecorded printed periodical ‘Scottish Family Magazine (Leith: John Hamilton, [1880s?]) presumably written by Hamilton; 2 books on the Indian Rebellion of 1857 (early 20th-century and 1970), presumably from the collection of John Buist; three manuscript notebooks of Hamilton, a volume of press clippings of letters to newspapers/periodicals by Hamilton Provenance: The archive was at one point owned by a Mr John Buist of Edinburgh, who used the contents to write an article on John Hamilton for the ‘Scottish Education Journal,’ published in 1975, about Hamilton’s experiences in India as a schoolmaster Note: John ‘Jack’ McDougal Hamilton (1818-88) was the son of an Edinburgh weaver who enlisted to become a soldier in the East India Company in 1840. He arrived in India in 1841 and continued his former, civilian, profession of clerk, without seeing any frontline combat. In 1843, while stationed at Agra, he was acting as tutor to the families of local officers and then as ‘school sergeant,’ the official schoolmaster for children from soldiers’ families and also for soldiers. In 1852 he transferred to the Army Commissariat Department in Kalka in Haryana and then had several other postings in India before moving to Calcutta [Kolkata] in 1869. He contributed letters and short stories to local newspapers and had a collection of prose and verse ‘Weeds and flowers, or Essays on natural subjects’ published in Calcutta in 1863. In the early 1870s, after a bout of serious illness, he retired from the army and eventually returned to Scotland. He is recorded in the 1881 census as living with his niece Martha in Edinburgh. In the 1880s he tried to get ‘Weeds and flowers’ re-published in London; he also self-published in Edinburgh one issue of a periodical ‘Scottish Family Magazine,’ “for the improvement of domestic life and character.” He died in 1888 and is buried in Grange Cemetery, Edinburgh, along with other members of his family.

[Edinburgh: no printer], 1728. Printed broadside (47 x 37cm) [ESTC T225153; Goldsmith’s 6619; Hanson 3875] Note: A very rare survival from a key moment in the history of banking (only three copies traced by ESTC), announcing the suspension of payments by the Bank of Scotland in response to the aggressive expansion of the newly founded Royal Bank of Scotland, an event which exposed the risks of paper currency, undercapitalisation, and the weakness of firms accustomed to operating in monopolistic conditions. ‘In 1727 … a second public bank, the Royal Bank of Scotland, was established by Royal Charter and began to issue notes. Almost at once the ’New’ Bank set out to break the ‘Old’ by accumulating its notes and making substantial and unpredictable demands for payment … When, on the day of the Old Bank’s annual general meeting on 27th March 1728, the New Bank presented £900 in notes, payment was suspended and not fully resumed for a year. Litigation between the banks followed … Relations … were to remain strained for many years until an emerging challenge from private banks in the third quarter of the century made co-operation seem desirable or even essential’ (Fox & Ernst, eds., Money in the Western Legal Tradition, 2016, p. 557).

279 LAPRAIK, JOHN POEMS, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS Kilmarnock: John Wilson, 1788. 8vo in half-sheets (20.7 x 12.2cm), viii 240 pp., contemporary calf, spine and joints reinforced with clear self-adhesive tape, contents spotted, ownership inscription dated 1845 to title-page [ESTC T124917] Note: First and only edition of the sole published work by a local protégé of Robert Burns, printed with Burns’s encouragement by Kilmarnock printer John Wilson, two years after Wilson had published the Kilmarnock edition of Burns’s Poems, chiefly in the Scottish Dialect. Very rare: this is the first complete copy identified as appearing at auction for over 50 years. John Lapraik was an Ayrshire farmer who was ruined by the collapse of the Ayr Bank in 1773 and spent time in a debtors’ prison, where he seems to have assumed the role of prison bard. ‘Early in 1785 Burns heard the song ’When I upon thy bosom lean’ at a ‘rocking’, or social gathering, in his house at Mossgiel Farm, Muirkirk. Learning that Lapraik was the author, he made his acquaintance, and within the year addressed to him his three famous ’Epistles’. Lapraik’s other significant connection with Burns, according to local legend at least, is that he helped inspire the sentiments of ’Is there for honest poverty’ (’A Man’s a Man for a’ that’) … Burns’s generous patronage encouraged Lapraik to publish his verses, which appeared at Kilmarnock in 1788 as Poems on Several Occasions’ (ODNB).

Burns’ compliments’ in black ink, marginal nicks and damp-staining. Together with an engraved portrait of Robert Burns, inscribed on mount ‘Given me by Co. James Glencairn Burns, son of the “Ayrshire Bard” (’Robert Burns, from the Original Drawing by Archibald Skirving’, Glasgow: Blackie & Son, c.1850, 25 x 17.5cm, slit-mounted at corners) (2) Note: A fascinating piece of Burnsiana, commissioned as a late act of filial piety by Burns’s youngest surviving son James Glencairn Burns (17941865) during his retirement in Cheltenham, following a distinguished career in the army of the East India Company. The only other copy traced, at the Robert Burns Birthplace Trust, bears a similar inscription from James Glencairn Burns; the Honorable Miss Vereker may have been one of the daughters of John Prenderast Vereker, 3rd Viscount Gort (1790-1865). The author of the Genealogical Memoirs of the Family of Robert Burns later recalled that James Glencairn Burns, though ‘abundantly facetious and good humoured … nevertheless keenly resented any ungenerous reflection on his father’s memory’ (1877, p. 61). A paragraph at the head of the present document explains: ‘On the decease of Burns, the Books in his Library were numerous and well-selected; and an Edinburgh Bookseller valued them at £90 … The following list has been furnished to the Publishers, by the sons of the Poet; and, although it comprises a portion only of their father’s Library, it will be accepted by his admirers as a most interesting memorial’.

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.

A2. 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.

A4. J EWELLERY, 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.
