The salted paper prints were taken by Claude-Marie Ferrier (1811–1889) and Hugh Owen (1808–1901), and printed at Talbot’s recommendation by his one-time assistant and collaborator Nicolaas Henneman (1813- 1898), whom he had helped establish his own photographic studio.

The Exhibition had 17,000 exhibitors, with the judges considering approximately one million exhibits for which 2,918 medals were presented. The photographs include several views of the exterior and interior of Paxton’s main building, and images of exhibits ranging from agricultural and industrial machinery, inflatable boats and steam engines to garden fountains, militaria, statues, silverware and ceramics. The Reports were issued at the same time as the 3 volume official catalogue, First Report of the Commissioners..., and a case of medals not present here.

10 • KOESTLER (ARTHUR) Von weissen Nächten und roten Tagen: 12 Reportagen aus den Sowjet-Peripherien, FIRST EDITION, 9 plates (2 folding), publisher’s wrappers lettered in green and red, dust-jacket, yapp edges slightly bumped, extremities lightly rubbed, 8vo, Kharkiv, Ukraine, Staatsverlag d. nat. Minderheiten der USSR, 1934

£3,000 - 4,000 €3,400 - 4,600 $4,200 - 5,600

First and only edition of Koestler’s first published book “From White Nights and Red Days”. Koestler was embedded as a journalist in the 1931 Zeppelin Arctic expedition. He then travelled around Russia and what was then Soviet Central Asia.

Von weissen Nächten und roten Tagen was intended for global publication by the Comintern, and several of the illustrations (after photographs) are propagandist in nature: “Collective farmers go to their field work in an organized manner”, shortly before the Soviet famine of 1932-3. Koesler would recall, however, that “in spite of my numerous contracts... only one edition of Red Days did, in fact, appear. This was the Kharkov edition in German, intended for the German-speaking national minorities in the Ukraine. It is a thin, paperbound volume, so thoroughly expurgated that less than half of the original manuscript was allowed to stand” (his autobiography The Invisible Writing, 1954, pp.149, 153).

Rare: WorldCat appears to locate only four copies (Edinburgh, BL, Frankfurt and Leipzig).

Cave, 1749

£700 - 900 €800 - 1,000 $980 - 1,300

Rare first edition in English, only one copy traced at auction on Rare Book Hub, of “Stirling’s principal contribution to mathematics” (ODNB), first published in Latin as Methodus differentialis in 1730. Its introductory section contains Stirling’s discussion of what are now called ‘Stirling numbers’ (important in modern combinatorial theory). The transation was made by Francis Holliday who is described on the title as “master of the grammar Free-School at Haughton-Park, near Retford, Nottinghamshire”.

This copy has annotations by an early, and obviously engaged reader, with many small corrections to the text (inserting missing words, striking through and replacing individual words), amending equations, and adding manuscript additions to the errata page. 11

£2,000 - 4,000 €2,300 - 4,600 $2,800 - 5,600

RARE COMPLETE SET OF THE FIRST EDITION OF PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA, which “formed the greatest single contribution to symbolic logic for the time”, in which the authors posited that “mathematics is a part of logic, so that a separate philosophy of mathematics does not exist, a view contradicting the Kantian doctrine that mathematical proofs depend on a priori forms of intuition” (ODNB). Only 750 copies of the first volume were published, but it is thought volumes 2 and 3 were only printed in runs of 500 copies.

‘HAMLET, TRAGÉDIE’: bound volume of scarce French eighteenth century plays, including the controversial first French theatrical adaptation of Hamlet, by Jean-François Ducis (1733-1816).

“Ducis was the first to translate Shakespeare for the stage... His translation of Hamlet was the first and only version of the play to be performed in eighteenth-century France, and it played at the Comédie Française from 1769 to 1852. The play was translated in alexandrine verse, suppressed the ghost as well as the gravediggers, and considerably reduced the number of violent deaths. The characters were transformed into sensitive heroes torn between love and duty, reminiscent of Corneille’s tragedies. The play was also suffused with pathos, causing Hamlet to shed many tears and threaten suicide. Hamlet did not die at the end of the play as popular taste could not suffer the death of the hero” (Nicole Fayard, ‘Shakespeare and Translations into French’, July 2018, blog on Shakespeare Birthplace Trust website).

Ducis’s version met with furious criticism from Voltaire, who considered it a profanity and even tried to prevent the play opening. Nonetheless it achieved considerable success and Ducis went on to adapt Romeo and Juliet (1772), King Lear (1783), Macbeth (1784) and Othello (1792).

TURGENEV SENDS ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE ENGLISH TRANSLATOR OF FIRST LOVE.

Turgenev stated that his novella First Love, published in 1870, was the most autobiographical of all his works. He tells of his infatuation with a young neighbour in the country, Princess Catherine Shakhovskoy (the Zinaida of the story), an infatuation that lasted until his discovery that Catherine was in fact his father’s mistress. It was much praised by Flaubert at the time, and remains one of his best- loved stories.

Writing at a time when translated Russian literature was gaining popularity in Europe, this letter to his English translator demonstrates Turgenev’s ongoing preoccupation with ensuring that his work is translated in a sympathetic and accurate way, and yet in a way that would accord with his English audience. His belief that the hitherto unprofitable market for foreign literature would only be improved by better quality translations is a recurring theme in his correspondence, particularly to his other English friend and translator William Ralston. Indeed, some translators were notorious for working from a French or German translation rather than the Russian original, which led to the inevitable mistakes, and some even changed the story if they thought it could be improved (including ‘an unfortunate misunderstanding’ in Claire von Glümer’s translation of First Love, where the old countess was changed into a young one by the translator, ‘thus turning the 45 whole story upside down’ (Olshanskaya, p.159)). According to Natalia Olshanskaya, who has written at length on this subject, it was Turgenev’s personal attempts at securing qualified translators for his own works that became a significant factor in changing 44 • the accepted standards for the translation of Russian literature STRADANUS (JOHANNES) as a whole throughout Europe, a contribution she says is ‘difficult Venationes ferarum, avium, piscium.

‘AND LET US ALL OUR VOWS RENEW, ALONG THE FLOWERY BANKS OF CREE’.

Also known as ‘Here is the Glen’, these romantic verses were written by Burns to a tune composed by Lady Elizabeth Heron (1745-1811), daughter of the 8th Earl of Dundonald and married to Patrick Heron of Heron (1736-1803) through whose estate, Kerroughtree near Galloway, ran the River Cree. Heron was an MP for Kircudbright in the decade before his death and Robert Burns, ever interested in local politics, wrote several satirical ballads to aid his election campaign in 1795, including Inscription for an Altar of Independence at Kerroughtree, the seat of Mr Heron. Burns visited Kerroughtree often, and family legend has it that he would often sit at the foot of the main stairs and recite his poetry. Here he has immortalised his friend Lady Elizabeth as the enchanting Maria.

The verses were originally sent by Burns in a letter to his publisher, George Thomson on 7 May 1794, now in the Morgan Library (Dalhousie Manuscripts, MA.50.1), in which Burns noted, ‘...Now, and for six or seven months, I shall be quite in song, as you shall see by-and-by... I got an air, pretty enough, composed by Lady Elizabeth Heron, of Heron, which she calls “The Banks of Cree.” - Cree is a beautiful romantic stream, and, as her ladyship is a particular friend Provenance of mine, I have written the following song to it:— Banks of Cree/ These verses were rediscovered in an album originating from Here is the glen, and here the bower...’ ending with the note ‘...The Denston Hall in Suffolk, the seat of Sir John Robinson (c.1757-1819), air I fear is not worth your while, else I would send it you...’, which who married Rebecca Clive, daughter of Clive of India in 1782. seems to infer that he was not overly impressed with Lady Elizabeth’s Whether this version was written out for Elizabeth Heron herself is composition. However, the literature surrounding these verses agrees not known, neither is it clear how it came into the possession of John that it was Thomson himself and not Burns who disapproved of Robinson, but it was evidently added to the album only a few years Elizabeth Heron’s setting and was allegedly ‘always wanting to set after publication. Surrounding it, and on the reverse of the leaf, are Burns’s words to tunes other than those they were written for...’ and a selection of newspaper cuttings which can give an approximate that Burns insisted they be ‘printed to the air for which they were terminus ante quem for when our piece was pasted into the album written, or else leave them out’ (Burns Chronicle and Club Directory, - for example, the verses ‘The Flight of King Joe’ published in second series, volume IV, 1929). They were printed in the second the Morning Post on 2 September 1808, and an account of the volume of Thomson’s Original Scottish Airs in 1798 and have been poisoning by champignons of a Mitcham woman, Mary Attwood, included in many collections of Burns’ works. and her children reported in the Gentleman’s Magazine and Historical Chronicle the following month.

It has one or two small differences in wording compared with the version in his original letter to Thomson, for example the title “The Banks of the Cree” used here rather than “Banks of Cree” and the use of “thro’ the grove” in our copy rather than “in the grove” in Burns’ letter.

FINE BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS | 49 As a fellow of the college, Newton was obliged to be ordained into the Church of England and his approaching ordination set him upon a course of serious theological study. As is shown here he ‘...tackled the early fathers of the church in a prodigious programme of reading that took him through all the major fathers and many lesser ones as well...’ although it ‘...did not take him long to read himself right out of orthodoxy...’ and, after threatening to lay down his fellowship, he was exempted by the college and therefore free ‘...to continue in his sanctuary, at the time devoting himself largely to writing Arian tracts and to pursuing alchemy, two activities that he indulged in private...’ (Richard S. Westfall, ODNB). The Latin writings in the notebook also make reference to the Socinian doctrine, a debate which was raging in the Church of England from around 1687.

Just as the man himself has proved elusive to scholars, it has not been possible to obtain definitive examples of Wickins’ hand for comparison under the present restrictions. The manuscript usually ascribed to him does bear substantial differences to the hand in our notebook (ULC Ms Dd.9.67) and another in Cambridge University’s Macclesfield Collection [Add. 9597.9.1] is described as being only ‘probably’ in his hand. In any case there is a good prima facie case to believe that the transcripts were made by Wickins, whose ownership inscription is on the first page, or at least by a contemporary with access to his personal papers. According to Nicholas Wickins’ letter, by January 1728 the whereabouts of Newton’s three letters to John Wickins was unknown, so this notebook preserves the texts, hitherto thought lost, of correspondence from Newton to his ‘chamber- fellow’. The notebook comes from a private collection in the UK where it has been held for two generations.

108 AUDEN (WYSTAN HUGH) and the tradition of riddles. The poem shares its title with an old Autograph manuscript of his poem ‘The Wanderer’, headed with English lament in the Exeter Book of c.970 where, as in Auden’s the Roman numeral “I”, comprising 29 lines in three stanzas of poem, the wanderer wakes to a sight of ‘bird-flocks nameless to thirteen, seven and nine lines respectively, beginning “Doom is dark him’. Auden also makes reference to his own early work, the poem’s and deeper than any sea-dingle:/ Upon what man it fall/ In Spring, closing line, for instance, ‘Lucky with day approaching, with leaning day-wishing flowers appearing...”, and ending “...Lucky with day dawn’ is adapted from the line ‘Dawn leans across the sea’ from a approaching, with leaning dawn.”, one page, on feint-lined paper, poem of 1927. creased at folds, dust-staining, slightly browned at edges with light damp stain on left side not affecting text, verso foxed, folio (330 x Auden freely admitted his debt to the past, remarking in 1962 that 205mm.), [1930] ‘I was spellbound. This poetry, I knew, was going to be my dish... Anglo-Saxon and Middle English poetry have been one of my strongest, most lasting influences’, and he was not alone. Academics £2,000 - 4,000 have identified a widespread phenomenon amongst early twentieth- €2,300 - 4,600 century writers who looked to Old English as a compositional $2,800 - 5,600 resource, citing C.S. Lewis, Tolkien and Ezra Pound, who translated The Seafarer from the Exeter Book in 1911, with its influence being ‘DOOM IS DARK & DEEPER THAN ANY SEA-DINGLE’: AUDEN’S felt as recently as 1999 with Seamus Heaney’s widely-acclaimed HOMAGE TO ANGLO-SAXON POETRY translation of Beowulf.

Auden’s untitled poem of 1930 was written whilst working as a The poem was included in his influential collection Poems published schoolmaster at the Larchfield Academy in Helensburgh, Scotland. At by Faber under the auspices of T.S. Eliot, and was numbered ‘II’ the time he was revisiting the early English texts he had encountered in the 1933 second edition. Another manuscript of ‘The Wanderer’ at Oxford and was writing a now-lost play called The Fronny. Indeed, is held in the Auden Papers in the New York Public Library (Berg the compelling first line of the poem derives from a thirteenth-century Collection mss Auden). The present piece derives from a UK private prose piece called Sawles Warde - ‘all the redes and the runes of collection. God, and his dooms that dern be, and deeper than any sea-dingle’. Conor Leahey in his comprehensive discussion of Auden’s debt to Middle English literature (‘Middle English In Early Auden’, The Review 109 • of English Studies, volume 70, issue 295, June 2019, pp.527–549), AUSTEN (JANE) calls the poem ‘one of his most mysterious and compelling early Pride and Prejudice... with Illustrations by Hugh Thomson, numerous lyrics, originally referred to simply as ‘Chorus from a Play’... It is this illustrations by Thomson, front free endpaper and half-title loose, choric element, as well as the unpredictable rhythm of the poem’s publisher’s pictorial cloth gilt, t.e.g., light soiling to lower cover, 8vo, versification, that allows Auden to resolve these mixed affiliations George Allen, 1894 into a voice that is uniquely his own... not an arcane miscellany of allusions, but an evocative and disarming lyric achievement... The £600 - 800 poem has become emblematic of Auden’s early manner, but in many €690 - 920 ways it is an unlikely classic’, using as it does Old English tropes $840 - 1,100 such as the alliterative line, kenning (‘houses for fishes’ for example)

‘STILL ON THE ALERT FOR NEW IDEAS’: Houdini appeared at the Empire and newly-opened Hippodrome in Bristol between Monday 10 February and Saturday 15 February 1913. Notably, it was the year he introduced his famous Chinese Water Torture Cell, first performed in the UK a month earlier in Cardiff, in which he escaped from being suspended upside down in a locked glass and steel cabinet filled with water. The trick was a huge success and he was to perform it for the rest of his career. The Western Daily Press of 11 February notes that he received an enthusiastic welcome from the audiences of Bristol, where he also approached the authorities with the idea of being manacled and thrown off the famous bridge and challenged a number of Bristol’s finest able seamen to truss him up to a seven- foot plank. He remained, according to the paper, ‘still on the alert for new ideas and offers £100 for a suggestion with possibilities of a new kind of torture by which he can devise means of escape’ (Derek Tait, The Great Houdini: His British Tours, 2017).

£600 - 800 €690 - 920 $840 - 1,100

A copy of Radclyffe Hall’s Poems read and annotated by the poets Eliot Bliss and Anna Wickham at a soiree in December 1926, two years before the publication of the author’s “lesbian classic” The Well of Loneliness. In 1926 Wickham, infatuated and in love with poet Natalie Barney, left her husband, moving in September of that year to 67 Carlton Hill, St. John’s Wood in London (the address written 130 inside the upper cover of our book). It was here presumably that she, Eliot Bliss (a life-long friend, who has also signed by the book above the address), and a female musician read this volume, recording variant titles to many of the poems, hinting perhaps at hidden meanings, or perhaps just high jinx. For example “Once in a Garden Place” becomes “Nothing Doing”; “The Kiss at Dawn” becomes “Sweet Seventeen Recased”; “The Birth of a Rainbow” becomes “Obstetrics”; “By the Lake” becomes “The Confidence Trick”; “To the Beloved Lips” becomes “Respiration not allowed for”, and for the long poem “Fruit of the Nispero” many stanzas captioned (“Easy Virtue No. 1. Take your choice madam”; “Easy Virtue No.2. or after breakfast”, etc.).
