| BARKER, Henry Aston. A Series of Eight Views, forming a Panorama of the Celebrated City of Constantinople and its Environs. Taken From the Town of Galata, By Henry Aston Barker, and Exhibited in his Great Rotunda, Leicester Square. Drawn on the spot by Henry Aston Barker. London: Thomas Palser...and Henry Aston Barker... Printed by George Smeeton of St Martins Lane 1813 [F39898] First and only edition. Six of eight aquatinted plates (plates 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8). Each 51 x 44 cm. Plates etched by C. Tomkins and acquatinted by F.C & G Lewis. Some wear to corners of plates with occasional slight loss. £4,500 Rare. Originally issued with title and key plate (not present here) but these are very rare and were not present in the Atabey copy which also lacked plate one. Only auction records are from the two great Levantine collections; the Blackmer copy which made £13,750 in 1989 and the Atabey copy which, despite defects, sold for £43,000 in 2002. A third set in poor condition sold in 2003 for £15,600. The Atabey and Blackmer copies were apparently with original colour and the third copy was with modern colour. In 1797, Robert Barker took out a patent which gave him exclusive rights to exhibit 360o paintings mimicking nature. His first exhibition was of a painting of London, and for this his friends provided him with a title sufficiently striking to gain a permanent place in the English language. Panorama derived from the Greek words meaning all and view had its first use in 1791 in the advertisements for the picture of London. His panoramas were exhibited in the fashionable new Rotunda in Leicester Square and became all the rage according to John Constable. In 1801 Constantinople became the first foreign city view to be exhibited. These plates are a reproduction of that view and in fact are the only large scale reproduction of any of the views exhibited by Barker.

He was made a life peer in 1977. Roll was born in the then-Austro-Hungarian Empire and grew up near Czernowitz, in the Bukovina, which would become part of Romania and is now in Ukraine. His father was a bank manager, and his mother's brother was a distinguished member of the law faculty at the University of Vienna. When World War I saw Russian troops burnt down the village, his family took refuge in Vienna. His parents then sent him to England in the 1920s and he studied at Birmingham University. Shortly afterwards, he completed his PhD and published his first book. He mixed with artistic and creative circles. By the age of 28, Roll became professor of economics at University College, Hull , appointed with the backing of John Maynard Keynes and Lord Stamp . During World War II, however, he was recruited to the civil service as deputy head of the British Food Mission, where he was principally involved in the procurement of food supplies - most notably dried eggs. He made a number of contacts in the United States and rejected the offer to head the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, instead joining the British Ministry of Food. His economic experience and contacts made him invaluable in the post-war government and he was the British representative in the Paris discussions on Marshall aid. He played an important role in the setting up of European and trans-Atlantic institutions before rejoining the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Roll was about to accept the vice-chancellorship of Liverpool University, but was asked to go to Washington as economic minister at the British embassy from 1963 to 1964. Then, when Labour won the 1964 election, he became permanent secretary of the new Department of Economic Affairs, despite not agreeing with its development. Roll was also a director of the Bank of England for nearly ten years, chairman of the merchant bankers SG Warburg and a director of The Times. Roll was awarded the Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George, Companion of the Order of the Bath and Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George and was made an officeur of the Legion d'Honneur. He was made a life peer as Baron Roll of Ipsden, of Ipsden in the County of Oxfordshire in 1977. Roll married Winifred in 1934 and they had two daughters; she died 1998. Categories: 1907 births | 2005 deaths | Life peers | British economists | British civil servants.

Bound in contemporary half calf over marbled boards, flat spines with gilt decoration and lettering and dated 1827 at the foot of each, marbled edges, plain endpapers. Frontispiece in Vol.I, engraved titles to each volume and 313 plates (including six maps). Some intermittent spotting and browning, generally a very good set. £1,250 The Advertisement at the beginning of the first volume, dated December 31st 1816, announces this to be the sixth Part of the work completing the First Volume, and states that though in the Prospectus the Public have been promised but 300, there is now reason to apprehend that the number of engravings will very considerably exceed that number. An Index to the plates is promised with the last part, not present in this set but included with the BL copy which we have consulted (and herewith supply a photocopy). According to that list this copy has 313 of a listed 311 plates: there are a few plates which are called for in the list which are absent but a few more present which are not called for. We have annotated the Directions to the Binder accordingly; i.e. Vol. lacks one plate of Anatomy and one Miscellanies, Vol 3 has 3 additional Centres and 1 additional Conic Sections, Vol.4 has 1 additional Eclipse, Vol.7 lacks one of the Mid-wifery plates (although this coincides with our last copy (12 years ago)and we suspect is a mistake in the list), in Vol 8 there are in fact 9 plates of Music but these only count (for both purposes) as 5 since 4 are printed both recto and verso, Vol. 8 lacks 1 plate of Navigation, Vol. 10 has 1 additional plate of Shipbuilding and 3 of Zoology but lacks 1 (of 3) Simia and 1 Fractures. A few plates are bound in different volumes to the specifications of the Directions. The BL copy is bound in 11 volumes with the plates as a separate volume - and although quite a handsome binding, lacks one engraved title and 25 plates, does not carry the Advertisement leaf referred to here, nor the Preface/Introduction. The title pages are not dated in either set but pencilled annotations in the BL set indicate a final publishing date of 1837: this is probably erroneous as our set clearly states 1827 in gilt at the foot of each spine. The Advertisement promises that the last Part will include a frontispiece, present here, and a Preface and Introduction, not present here and not present in the BL copy. We assume that they were never published (we have insufficient details from our last copy). Scarce.

| (EXEMPLIFICATION OF RECOVERY). Original deed on vellum with portrait of Charles II. [c.1684] [F41384] (64 x 77 cm.). Manuscript on vellum, folded at lower edge, ruled in red with printed portrait of Charles II top left within elaborate decorative initial letter C and broad decorated upper border with griffins, snake, unicorn, lion etc above calligraphic Charles Secundus Dei gratia £500 This document is known as an Exemplification of Recovery. It records a wholly ficticious legal proceediong, fititious in the sense that the alleged events did not take place and the court is well aware It was a perfectly legal proceeding not abolished until 1833. It was used where the owner of a property wished to have a proper record of his ownership, perhaps because he had lost whatever evidence of his ownership he had or often when he was breaking an entail. It was unlikely to be used for a serious ownership dispute. Because it was almost impossible to bring a case on ownership of land the simpler equity law courts were used to bring an action of trespass. The wording is common to every such action and involves the owner alleging that he has been deprived of his land by a wholly fictitious character, Hugh Hunt, who has leased out the property to another, thereby bringing the matter within the law of trespass. Usually the remaining participants were either friends of the owner (the tenants) or obliging court officilas playing a role (the common vouchees). The vouchee would claim that Hunt had a valid calim to the property. There might be several vouchees but always the last one would crave imparle (adjournment of the case for consultation) but would fail to appear on resumption, for which reason judgement would be given for the owner and the whole court proceeding written up as in this document. A large seal would be attached - not present here.

Most of his writings are concerned with Greek Antiquities including detailed writings on Athens, Attica, Cyprus, Rhodes and Crete. Though having never visited Athens, his work became one of the standard guides for travellers over a century. The thoroughness of his topographical descriptions of the city, together with a collection of literary allusions to its monuments made the work particularly valuable. (Blackmer). He also produced numerous classical editions and treatises, many of which were printed in J. F. Gronoviuss Thesaurus antiquitatum graecorum. Not the pedant and ignoramus he was accused of being, rather his works were a storehouse of information. Encyclopaedia Britannica. (Brunet III 1684; cf Blackmer, 1119-1121.)

Witnessed by Shaws friends Mr and Mrs Harold White. Paper repairs to last leaf with some loss of text. 3 leaves with pencil annotations. £1,000 Shaw died five months after making this will at the age of 93. Four leaves of the will refer to instructions that for the first 21 years after his death, the earnings from the royalties of all his works should be spent on the creation and promotion of a phonetic alphabet, using 40 or more letters, each of which represented one sound, and one sound only, of the English language. This is now know as the Shavian alphabet. The development of the Alphabet was initially delayed. If his will had been executed immediately, and the Alphabet Trust had been established as envisioned more than five hundred thousand pounds would have been spent to develop and proliferate the Shaw Alphabet. However, the will was successfully contested by other hopeful beneficiaries, and an out-of-court settlement awarded the Alphabet Trust a meagre £8,300.

| WILKINS, William. The Antiquities of Magna Graecia. Cambridge: Printed at the University Press by Richard Watts, and Published for for Longman, Hurst, Orme and Rees, Paternoster Row, London. 1807 [F40843] FIRST EDITION. Large folio (59 Χ 39 cm), pp. [vi], xxii, 74, [2]. Entirely uncut in original blue boards, paper label to spine. Ex libris Worcester College Library, inscribed as such on upper cover and with a small bright red cancel stamp to front free endpaper. Preserved in a custom made brown cloth solander box. Engraved vignette to title, 73 engraved plates including one double-page and 20 sepia aquatint views, plus 14 engraved vignettes to text (10 engraved, 4 in sepia aquatint). Spine expertly repaired, intermittent spotting and offsetting as usual, but overall a remarkable fine and fresh copy. $6,000 This is the first major work by a leading light of the nineteenth-century neo-classical movement. It represents Wilkinss scholarly interpretation of the architectural principles of the Greek temples of Sicily, which he had studied on his Mediterranean tour of 1801-1803. Shortly thereafter the author was to reinterpret these principles in his remodelling of Downing College, Cambridge in a pioneering Greek-revivalist style. His work was instrumental in establishing the Greek style as the dominant architectural idiom of the first half of the nineteenth-century and The Antiquities of Magna Graecia informed his most famous Greek commissions in London, which included St Georges Hospital, Hyde Park Corner (now the Lanesborough Hotel), University College and the National Gallery. The work was dedicated to Francis Rawdon Hastings, Earl of Moira and the subscribers included John Nash, John Plaw and Humphrey Repton (the latter was a business partner of Wilkins father). The fine sepia aquatint views of Greek ruins are by the Roman artist Agostino Aglio, whom Wilkins met on his tour and who later settled in England, probably under Wilkins patronage. Aglio decorated the Opera House in 1804, Drury Lane Theatre in 1806, and the Pantheon in 1811. In 1819 he painted the ceiling and altar-piece of the Roman catholic chapel in Moorfields, and he decorated the summer-house in the gardens of Buckingham Palace and the Olympic Theatre. He became a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy. (Abbey Travel 128; Blackmer 1797. )
