ABSTRACT OF THE CONVEYANCE AND DEED OF TRUST, for establishing Walter Scott’s charity school, in the parish of Ross, in the county of Hereford, dated 28th August, 1798. Walter Scott died in London, 4th 12th Month, 1786, aged 70. Ross: Printed by Farror and Dobles, Booksellers. [1839]. £ 185 FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. 32; stab sewn, as issued; inscribed presentation copy from the editor, Nathanial Morgan. Born in Ross in 1716 the son of a poor tradesman, Walter Scott attended the local Charity School, a Blue Coat school funded through public subscriptions and intended for the “instruction of poor boys and girls in the parish of Ross-on-Wye in the Christian Religion according to the doctrines and usages of the Church of England”. In 1785, the year before his death, Walter returned to visit Ross-on-Wye and was distressed to find his old school in a very neglected state. He roused the local townspeople to revive the school, promising to contribute five guineas annually to the funds, and on his return to London amended his will to provide a permanent endowment for the school. The present work sets out the endowment, rules and regulations of the school, lists of the trustees and governors, and concludes with an account of one James Baker, a ‘great benefactor to our parish’, with a copy of his will also included. OCLC records one copy only, at the British Library. Court of chancery not obscure 2 [ACHERLEY, Roger]. THE JURISDICTION OF THE CHANCERY AS A COURT OF EQUITY RESEARCHED.

London: printed for Joel Stephens; and sold by A. Dodd, 1733. £ 650 FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. 46; with final blank leaf; disbound.

Scarce first edition of Alexander Adam’s best known and most important work, on Roman antiquities. 1 P ICKERING & C HATTO ‘Nothing has more engaged the attention of literary men since the revival of learning, than to trace, from ancient monuments, the institutions and laws, the religion, the manners and customs of the Romans, under the general name of Roman Antiquities. This branch of knowledge is not only curious in itself, but absolutely necessary for understanding the classics, and for reading with advantage the history of that celebrated people. It is particularly requisite for such as prosecute the study of the Civil law’ (p. iii). Alexander Adam (1741-1809) was a Scottish teacher and writer. In 1764 he became private tutor to Alexander Kincaid, afterwards Lord Provost of Edinburgh, by whose influence he was appointed in 1768 to the rectorship of the High School on the retirement of Mr Matheson, whose substitute he had been for some time before. From this period he devoted himself entirely to the duties of his office and to the preparation of his numerous works on classical literature. His popularity and success as a teacher are strikingly illustrated by the great increase in the number of his pupils, many of whom subsequently became distinguished men, among them being Walter Scott, Lord Brougham and Francis Jeffrey. The present work passed through a large number of editions and was also translated in to German. OCLC records just two copies outside the British Isles, at McMaster and Washington. On Display at the Great Exhibition? 4 ADORNO, Juan Nepomuceno. INTRODUCTION TO THE HARMONY OF THE UNIVERSE; or, Principles of physico- harmonic Geometry. London, [Reynell and Weight] for John Wheale and Newton and Son, 1851. £ 2,250 FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [2], viii, [2], 160, one large folding table and 17 folding plates; two of which with frayed outer margins, light browning; a handsome copy in an elaborately gilt contemporary presentation binding of Russia for the financier Francisco de Murrieta, covers embossed with large floral framework, inner dentelles gilt, green watered silk endpapers; small area of spine damaged, upper joint cracked (but holding firm) and very lightly rubbed, but not detracting from this being a highly desirable copy. A superb copy of the first edition of this rare work by the Mexican utopian thinker and inventor Juan Nepomuceno Adorno. ‘An obscure but fascinating figure in nineteenth-century Mexican thought, Juan Nepomuceno Adorno (1807-1880) was a seemingly indefatigable inventor who dreamed that the physical and moral perfectibility of mankind could be achieved through the combined efforts of technology and the enlightened doctrine he called “Providentially.” Adorno outlined his philosophy of Providentially in his 1851 book Introduction to the Harmony of the Universe, or Principles of Physico- Harmonic Geometry, written in English while Adorno was living in London. The treatise was later expanded, translated, and published in Mexico as Armonía del universo: Sobre los principios de la armonía física y matemática (1862). Influenced by the work of Saint-Simon and Charles Fourier - particularly with regard to social reform and the concept of the utopia, Adorno believed that many social, economic, political, and ethical problems could be eradicated through the vigorous application of progressive technology in fulfillment of divine providence’ (Bell and Molino-Gavilan, Cosmos Latinos - An Anthology of Science Fiction from Latin America and Spain, chapter I, online). ‘Juan Nepomuceno Adorno [1807-1880] was born and died in Mexico City. A philosopher, mechanic, and inventor, he dedicated his energies to the study of the hydrography, meteorology and hygiene, of the Valley of Mexico. He wrote several books on these topics, and also designed a drainage project for the capital. He travelled in Europe between 1848 and 1859 and presented some of his inventions - such as the melograph 2 P ICKERING & C HATTO piano or pianola that when played, recorded music on a roll of paper and then printed it out at the Paris World’s Fair in 1855 … He also published his Introduction to the Harmony of the Universe or Principles of Physico-Harmonic Geometry in London (1851), which he translated into Spanish in a revised and enlarged edition upon his return to Mexico, publishing it as Armonia del Universo’ (Lockhart, Latin American Science Fiction Writers: An A-to-Z Guide). The dedicatee of this copy was the financier and shareholder of the London-based Spanish bank of dubious reputation, Cristóbal de Murrieta & Co., which held the monopoly for guano imports from Peru to Spain and was involved in the settling of financial disputes between Mexico and Peru in the late 1840s and early 1850s. The publication of this edition by Wheale cost £300, which was provided by the author. The lavish binding has got the aura of the splendour of the Great Exhibition, to which the author refers on several occasions. Indeed, Adorno was an exhibitor in two classes in the Crystal Palace; he offered his invention of a cigarette making machine performing ‘14 different operations from a single motive axis, and is capable of making, simply from paper and tobacco, 80 to 100 cigarettes in a minute, and neater than those made by hand’ and as cartographer, he exhibited a ‘terrestrial globe, capable of separation into pieces, which may be used as convex maps for navigation, and other geographical purposes’ as well as ‘twelve patent convex maps of the earth, invented by the exhibitor, to form a geographical sphere, or to be used separately for marine purposes, and to constitute useful and ornamental fittings for rooms or cabins’. The final plate in the volume is a depiction of one of his cartographic inventions. OCLC locates four copies in America, in the Library of Congress, the National Gallery of Art, Johns Hopkins University and at Brown University. ‘Sincere thanks for the valuable present’ 5 ALBERT, H.

Buckingham Palace, March 18th, 1843. £ 650 MANUSCRIPT IN INK. pp. 4 (186mm x 227mm); with various fold lines and evidence of some light dust-soiling, nevertheless, still a very appealing item.

  • From the World's First Factory, to a Museum of Making
    From the world’s first factory, to a Museum of Making Derby’s rich history and heritage is going to be celebrated in 2020 on the site of the world’s first factory, when the city opens a major new £17m museum. Run by Derby Museums, the Museum of Making - in the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site - will be a contemporary space telling Derby’s 300-year history of innovation and “making”. It will also be aimed, partly, at inspiring new creativity. Designed and made by the people and industries of Derby it will become a focal point for a dynamic calendar of exhibitions, workshops, activities and events. Revealing the whole building to the public for the very first time, the new Museum will display over 50,000 objects including the Rolls-Royce Eagle Engine, which helped power the first transatlantic flight 100 years ago in June 1919. This concept has been developed by Derby Museums in collaboration with the local community, it will help to shape the way in which Derby is understood and appreciated - thanks to the long list of innovators, makers and creators associated with the city. The Silk Mill of John and Thomas Lombe itself is believed to be the world’s first factory. The silk throwing machines in this building were based on machines studied by John Lombe in Italy - the designs of these having been copied and smuggled into England in an early example of industrial espionage. The layout of the mills, with a large number of people in two buildings doing a number of processes, was the prototype for the modern factory and was a model for the later textile mills built for Arkwright and partners 50 years later.

  • Mrs Bikbeck's Album
    1 MRS BIRKBECK’S ALBUM: THE HAND-WRITTEN AND THE PRINTED IN EARLY NINETEENTH-CENTURY FEMININE CULTURE Patrizia Di Bello, Birkbeck On the 25th December 1826, George Birkbeck, successful doctor, busy lecturer and founder of the London Mechanics’ Institution (now Birkbeck College),1 wrote a long letter to John Britton, antiquary and lecturer on the history of architecture at the Institution. My dear Sir, In consequence of your recommendation of Mr Behnes as an artist, I gave him at some inconvenience a great number of sittings. […] In the course of his visits Mrs Birkbeck spoke of her Album, in which he undertook to induce some of his poetical friends to write and for which purpose he took the book with him […]. Subsequently Mrs Birkbeck has wanted the book, which is of some value especially as containing some contributions from her friends, and has written to him for it without effect. I have also written and received no answer, and we have sent a messenger about half a dozen times in vain, and our only hope of recovering the book rests in your kind interference, as he probably will not run the risk of losing your friendship by such obstinate conduct.2 Mrs Birkbeck recovered her album and carried on working on it into her old age. It is now a rare example of an early-nineteenth-century album to survive intact and with a well-documented provenance.3 Recently rediscovered in the archives of Birkbeck College, and now valuable especially for an unpublished manuscript poem by Mary Shelley, the album has been described as ‘a fascinating insight

  • Performance and Display at the First Meeting of the British Archaeological Association, Canterbury, 1844
    Performance and display at the first meeting of the British Archaeological Association, Canterbury, 1844 Gabriel Moshenska Abstract The congress of the British Archaeological Association in Canterbury in September 1844 was the first archaeological conference in Britain. This paper examines the visual practices of performance and display incorporated within the congress, focusing on three events: a trip to watch a barrow excavation; a visit to the Faussett collection of antiquities; and an unrolling of an Egyptian mummy. Through an analysis of these events the paper examines the ways in which members of the nascent British archaeological community in the early Victorian era learned how to observe archaeology within the correct social, intellectual and spatial frames. Keywords History of archaeology; public archaeology; public understanding of science; visual culture. Introduction In September of 1844 the British Archaeological Association held its first annual congress, a weeklong event in and around the city of Canterbury that allowed the members of the nascent society to meet, present their work and take part in scholarly and social activities. The congress remains a landmark in the history of British archaeology and within Victorian intellectual history more widely, marking a period of fast-growing popular interest in archaeology and antiquity that saw the formation of numerous regional and national learned societies and printing clubs (Levine 1986; Morrell and Thackray 1981). The Canterbury congress of the British Archaeological Association (hereafter BAA) was by most accounts a resounding success and a source of great excitement and entertainment for the archaeological attendees and residents of Canterbury, with an invigorating programme of talks, demonstrations, excursions and dances.

(see Section IV). He was educated at the Palace School, Enfield, under Dr. htay. Following in the footsteps of his forefathers who had for three generations been well-known artists, he adopted art as a profession and became one of the most distinguished historical painters of his time. He was a pupil of Henry Sass and a student at the Royal Academy. His first original design was in water-colour, the subject being the fall of Phaeton from the Chariot of the Sun. For this design he was awarded the gold Isis medal of the Society of Arts in 1834. In the following year he was again successful, winning the same prize for a model of a chariot race as described by Homer. These designs were then exhibited at the Royal Academy. At this time he had already shewn a design from Spenser's " Faerie Queene" at the exhibition of the Society of British Artists. In I 837, Mr. Corbould joined the New Society of Painters in Water Colours, and for many years contributed works to that gallery, chiefly subjects from Chaucer, Spenser and Shakes ere.
