The collection of John Lane Mullins is offered for sale by Sancta Sophia College, within the University of Sydney. The collection has been held by Sancta Sophia College for several decades but in the interests of making it more accessible to members of the public, the College now offers it for sale so that serious collectors can enjoy its gems. A talk on John Lane Mullins addressed to the Catholic Historical Society in 1959 by Fr. C.J. Duffy perhaps best explains the view John Lane Mullins took of his books: “ a particular quality of the culture of John Lane Mullins needs mention. There was nothing of the selfish pride of ownership that is found in wealthy art lovers, or of a consciousness of artistic class distinction in his. Let me bring him and his thoughts on life and art down into the market place by quoting from an interview reproduced in the Telegraph 12.4.35. ‘I stress the importance of sharing with others. The pleasure aroused by the possession of a good book or a fine painting should be passed on. There is no real satisfaction to be derived from keeping the book locked in a library, or the painting tucked away out of sight of your friends. The privilege of possession is not enriched by the practice of selfish isolation, but rather in the sharing of all treasures.’”

Bidding Increments

Bidding generally opens below the lower estimate and advances in increments of up to 10%, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion. Absentee bids that do not conform to these published increments may be lowered to the next bidding interval.

Up to $200 by $10s $5000 to $10,000 by $500s $200 to $500 by $20s $10,000 to $20,000 by $1000s $500 to $1000 by $50s $20,000 to $50,000 by $2000s $1000 to $2000 by $100s $50,000 to $100,000 by $5000s $2000 to $5000 by $200s Over $100,000 auctioneer’s discretion Auctioneer’s Notice

Virtually all books from the collection of John Lane Mullins show marks of accession by the library of Sancta Sophia College within the University of Sydney, to whom his collection was gifted after his death. These marks consist predominantly of a shelf mark at the base of the spine, the shelf mark repeated discreetly in the top gutter margin of an endpaper or the first leaf, and an endpocket affixed to a blank leaf. There are no other markings, although in a comparatively small number of instances the discrete college library stamp has been added to a front endpaper. Most, but not all, books and pamphlets bear the special John Lane Mullins bookplate commissioned for the gift to Sancta Sophia. A good number of volumes, mainly those bound for Mullins by a local binder, are in half calf of modest quality; these are mostly rubbed and worn. These factors have been considered in the estimates provided. This sale comprises the collection of John Lane Mullins but we have included, with the approval of the vendor, a handful of lots consigned by other vendors that complemented the Mullins collection so aptly. These ‘introduced’ lots are signified with an asterisk next to the lot number. Australian Book Auctions is most grateful to Charles Stitz, author of three series (a fourth in preparation) of Australian Book Collectors, for generously providing an illuminating biographical sketch of John Lane Mullins as collector.

John Lane Mullins (1857-1939)

John Lane Mullins, solicitor, politician, bibliophile and bookplate collector, was born in Sydney on 4 June 1857 to Irish-born parents James Mullins and his wife Eliza, née Lane. James was a leading Catholic layman, wealthy from shrewd city real estate investments, and he later provided his son with an independent income, which freed him from financial cares, and allowed him to follow gentlemanly pursuits, such as the collection of books and paintings, and a career as patron of the arts. John was initially educated at private schools, and later by the Benedictines at St. Mary’s College, Lyndhurst, and St. John’s College, at the University of Sydney, from which he graduated B.A. in 1876, and M.A. in 1879. He was then articled to Sydney solicitor Robert Burdett Smith, and after the customary Grand Tour of Europe in 1882-83, admitted as a solicitor on 23 February 1885. Six weeks later he married Jane Mary Francis Hughes, the daughter of another Sydney solicitor, in a society wedding celebrated at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney. Mullins was closely involved in many of the activities of the Catholic Church in Australia, the founder of, and solicitor for, the Catholic Press, and a trusted adviser and confidant of Cardinal Patrick Moran and Archbishop Michael Kelly. He was made a Papal Chamberlain in 1903, and a Knight Commander of the Papal Order of St. Gregory the Great in 1920. He was nominated to the NSW Legislative Council in 1917, and served it continuously until 1933, a director of City Mutual Fire Insurance Co. Ltd. from 1923, and Tooheys Ltd. from 1927, and closely connected to a large number of charitable bodies throughout his lifetime. Mullins was a significant patron of the arts, and as a young man studied music, and financially assisted the sculptor Achille Simonetti. Later he supported Hugh McCrae, and arranged publication of his first book. As well as books, he collected bookplates, and with Neville Barnett, founded the Australian Ex Libris Society in 1923, and was its first president. He was also president of the Australian Limited Editions Society, secretary and treasurer of the Society of Artists, Sydney, a trustee of the National Art Gallery of NSW from 1916, and its president in 1938-39. He was active in local numismatic and philatelic societies, and a member of the (Royal) Australian Historical Society. Survived by his four daughters, he died at the age of 82 on 24 February 1939 at Elizabeth Bay, and was buried in South Head Cemetery. His wife had predeceased him in 1926, and his only son, Brendan, was killed in action in 1917. His library was left by his daughters to Sancta Sophia College in the University of Sydney, with some of the more valuable books lodged by the College in the Fisher Library for safe keeping. John Lane Mullins collected books on Australian history and exploration, Australian literature (including many presentation and inscribed copies, and a copy of Patrick White’s rare The Ploughman) and a variety of works relating to the history of the Catholic Church in Australia. A copy of the 1893 Catalogue of Books in the library of John Lane Mullins at “Killountan”(not including “Australian” books, which form another catalogue.) is held by the State Library Of New South Wales in the Mitchell Library, under Call no. Q 017.2/1. The 87- page typewritten document has as its frontispiece a contemporary sepia photograph of the spacious room in which the Lane Mullins library was housed, and provides a detailed description of this part of the collection, in fifteen categories, ranging from Bibliography to Voyages and Travel. For each work, the author, title, date and place of publication are listed, but the publisher’s name and details of condition are absent. The works are not numbered, and as many are in multiple volumes, it is difficult to accurately assess the extent of this part of the collection. A keen collector of bookplates, Mullins used a multitude of different plates on his own books. Andrew Peake, in his Australian Personal Bookplates, Tudor Australia Press (Dulwich, South Australia, 2000) identified seventeen commissioned by him in the period 1892 to 1938, by artists as diverse as Birmingham, Byrne, Cole, Feint, Fujinami, Godson, the Lindsays, Lionel and Norman, McCrae, Perrottet, Roberts, Sands, Spence, and Stuyvaert. He was remembered as a genial, lovable man, and an honourable and upright gentleman. At a Citizens Dinner held on 22 June 1937 at the Carlton Hotel in Sydney to celebrate his 80th birthday, and attended, it appears, by almost every person of consequence in the State, the then Premier, The Honourable Sir Thomas Bavin, K.C.M.G., in moving the toast to the guest of honour said of him: “He has brought into his public life a spirit which was badly wanted, always has been and always will be, and that is a complete freedom from bigotry or intolerance, and love of what is upright and honourable, and a very high sense of public duty.”

Octavo, with lithographed title and frontispiece in Part I, and two other lithographed plates, retaining original front wrappers of the five parts, later half calf, the boards with Mullins crest. Sydney, Hanson & Bennett, 1867. Rare: important mid- century history of Australia. Bennett, editor of “The Empire”, took an enthusiastic interest in the early history of the colony and sought out eye-witnesses to earlier events.

A complete set of Commissioner Bigge’s reports of his enquiry into the state of the colony under Governor Macquarie’s administration. Bigge was appointed Royal Commissioner by Lord Bathurst to examine the transportation system, but “it was clear that Macquarie’s administration as much as the transportation system was under review… Bigge’s reports had a profound influence on the future constitutional and political development of Australia and have a place in any Australian collection” (Wantrup). The first report is the rare suppressed printing of June 1822 that included libellous comments on William Charles Wentworth removed in a subsequently- issued new printing. Ferguson 853a, 891a, and 892; Wantrup, 46, 47, 48. Estimate $3000/4000

Eight pieces, octavo, bound with original wrappers in binder’s cloth. Sydney, [1926 – 1930].

[24] BLAXLAND, Gregory. A JOURNAL OF A TOUR OF DISCOVERY across the Blue Mountains, in New South Wales, in the Year 1813. Second Edition. Octavo, pp. 46, [2] (integral terminal blank); later half calf (rubbed); original wrappers bound in after text. Sydney, Gibbs, Shallard, & Co., [1870]. Second edition: a new edition published in Sydney in 1870 by the explorer’s son because copies were “no longer to be had” – even then something of an understatement. Now extremely scarce, the second Blaxland family edition is generally considered the earliest realistically obtainable. Ferguson, 7133 (omitting the terminal blank); Wantrup, 103c (omitting the terminal blank). Estimate $2000/4000

[25] BLAXLAND, Gregory. A JOURNAL OF A TOUR OF DISCOVERY across the Blue Mountains in New South Wales. Octavo, pale foxing, several library stamps, contemporary half morocco and marbled boards.

London, Printed for George Nicol, 1792. First edition of the complete official account of one of the most celebrated Pacific voyages, Bounty voyage and the mutiny. Published after Bligh had left on his second and successful breadfruit voyage in the Providence at the end of 1791, the official account was prepared for the press by his former shipmate, James Burney, the future historian of Pacific discovery, with the assistance of Sir Joseph Banks.

[109] GILBERT, Thomas. VOYAGE FROM NEW SOUTH WALES TO CANTON, in the year 1788, with views of the islands discovered. By Thomas Gilbert, Esq. Commander of the Charlotte. Quarto, with engraved vignette on the title, four large folding plates of coastal views (foxed as usual), with half-title, and with the terminal advertisement leaf, uncut in early marbled boards and half calf. London, J. Debrett, 1789. First edition of the first trading voyage from Australia. Debrett published Gilbert’s Voyage as a companion to his publication of Surgeon John White’s Journal and – very rarely – it is found bound up with it, as its publisher had suggested. Gilbert was commander of a First Fleet convict transport, the Charlotte, who continued from New South Wales to Canton to pick up a cargo of tea on the return voyage to England. After a brief description of the colony – he was critical of the land around Botany Bay but more sanguine about prospects further north – Gilbert commences his journal with his departure from Port Jackson to Canton in May 1788. During the voyage to China a number of islands were discovered and named, most notably the Gilbert and Marshall islands that were named for Gilbert himself and Captain Marshall of the Scarborough, the Charlotte’s companion ship on the voyage. Gilbert’s has proved to be a rare book in recent years and although “the actual Australian interest of this volume is limited... it is an important and scarce work, particularly from the point of view of general Pacific discovery” (Davidson). It is also, of course, a desirable companion and complement to John White’s First Fleet account. Ferguson, 38; Hill 2, 702; Wantrup, 18. Estimate $5000/7000 Lot 109. [110] GILMORE, Mary.

This he succeeded in doing, discovering the Victorian coastline west of Bass’s discoveries of 1797 and 1798.

The rare first published edition of Hume’s narrative of his expedition to Port Phillip in 1824. William Bland’s 1826 – 1837 edition of the journal of the Hume and Hovell expedition, based largely on Hovell’s field book, remained for decades the only published narrative. Hamilton Hume himself gave no public account of the expedition until 1855 when newspaper reports of a speech given by Hovell in Geelong, gave Hume the impression that Hovell was claiming all the credit for their discoveries. Angrily, Hume published this book in May 1855, giving his account of their journey, with supporting statements from three servants showing Hovell not only to have been incompetent but also wilful, headstrong and cowardly. Both men spent their final years in a pamphlet war which persisted even after Hume’s death in 1873. This first published edition of 1855 is rare.

Octavo, with the half-title and the terminal leaf of advertisements, two leaves with marginal ink blot contemporary sheep, upper board detached, armorial bookplate. London, J. Debrett, 1789. The first edition: always the scarcest of the First Fleet accounts this first edition is now rarely seen and vastly more difficult for the collector than any of the other First Fleet journals. This is the earliest, and arguably the best written, eyewitness account of the earliest European settlement of Australia. White’s journal apart, the others are more or less official in tone; none has the directness of Tench’s description of life in the first days of the colony. The book appeared quickly, first being put on sale on 24 April, 1789 and proved extremely popular with three editions in English, a Dublin piracy, as well as French, Dutch, German, and Swedish translations all appearing quickly. Tench spent altogether four years in the colony, carrying out his military duties as a marine, but devoting as much time as he could to exploration. He discovered the Nepean River and traced it to the Hawkesbury, and began the many attempts to conquer the Blue Mountains. He was a lively, good-humoured and cultured member of the new society, and these qualities come through in his book which gives a vivid picture of the voyage out, and the establishment of the town at Sydney Cove. Apart from its importance as the first genuine description of the new colony, Tench’s narrative provides us with the clearest of the surviving images of the first crucial months of settlement.
