  • Samuel Johnson's Childhood Illnesses and the King's Evil
    SAMUEL JOHNSON'S CHILDHOOD ILLNESSES AND THE KING'S EVIL by LAWRENCE C. McHENRY, JR. AND RONALD MAC KEITH 'HERE is a brave boy,' proclaimed George Hector,* when he brought Samuel Johnson into the world. From this moment and throughout most of his childhood, young Sam was harassed by a variety of afflictions that troubled his daily existence, but did not prevent him from eventually becoming one of England's outstanding literary figures. Samuel Johnson's adult illnesses and the history of his childhood have been described by many writers, but no separate work is available on his childhood medical history. The purpose ofthis paper is to describe Johnson's childhood medical disorders and their consequences. The principal source of information on this period in Johnson's life is from an autobiographical sketch, An account of the life of Dr. Samuel Johnson from his birth to his eleventh year, written by himself. Johnson apparently called this his 'Annals' and his two principal biographers, Boswell and Hawkins, did not know of its existence. This was written when he was 55 years old and was 'among the mass of papers which were ordered to be committed to the flames a few days before his death.'** Johnson's 'Annals' gives a record of his early affections, but it contains a rather questionable medical implication that has been perpetuated as fact. This is that Johnson developed tuberculosis during the first few weeks of his life. We propose to point out that this is unlikely and to show that it is much more probable that he developed tuberculosis later, when he was about two years old.

    LOT 8 LOT 15 LOT 100 LOT 180 Stunning! That was my first impression of this fantastic collection. So many superb grade coins, superb strikes, wonderful old tone, beautiful eye appeal, in a word - sexy… the list of superlatives goes on. Handling a Complete Collection such as the Benchmark Collection is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and we are proud to present this magnificent collection, in conjunction with Strand Coins (who have compiled it over many years with the current owner). We have included many notes and comments by Mark Duff of Strand Coins due to his intimate knowledge of every coin and it’s provenance, as well as a comprehensive, never before released illustrated “Key” to each and every coin Obverse and Reverse die type. As such, the catalogue, the information and images it contains will truly become a Benchmark in their own right. The quality of the George V coins right across the board is simply unbeatable, the Florins contain so many breathtaking coins, the Silver issues are all struck up, the Copper has many amazing coins, and most of the “Varieties” are amongst the finest, if not the finest known. The grading by NGC is very even across every lot, and if anything, is sometimes conservative given the genuine superb quality of the collection. We are proud to offer this complete “Benchmark” collection, the likes of which may not be seen on the market ever again.

    LOT 312 LOT 429 LOT 430 LOT 439 PART Welcome to our first Live Auction for 2015! This Auction has a simply amazing selection of many really interesting and high quality items, and is also very special, as it marks our 30th Anniversary as IAG, and 30 years of Auctions from 1985 to date. While we record this sale as Sale number 82, before our “numbered” sales we ran monthly Numismatic Auctions for 10 years, along with Jewellery, Antiques, Collectables and Artwork sales, so our real number of Numismatic auctions would be in the hundreds, and double that for total Auctions! Over the years we have handled some amazing items, and still hold a number of record prices for sales (including the highest price ever achieved for any Australian Numismatic Item), and I think this Auction would sit proudly amongst anything we have ever done. We here at IAG are all looking forward to another 30 years! Please Note: We have moved all our main Auctions to a Saturday, as we feel this best fits in with our clients needs. Major Auctions will be held on a Saturday, whilst smaller, more frequent Online Auctions will be held on a Monday or Tuesday night. We are continuing to expand and improve our Online bidding experience. As the first major Auction house to hold Online sales, our success has seen them go from strength to strength. We are continuing to evolve our processes to make them even better, and more frequent, and appreciate any feedback in this process you might have. We also do NOT charge any extra fees to live bid Online as others now are.
