48 THE ORNITHOLOGICAL LIBRARY OF MARTIN WOODCOCK Martin Woodcock has been painting wildlife professionally for over forty years, specialising in birds, and has illustrated over twenty field guides and monographs, including the definitive handbook The Birds of Africa. His work is in many private collections, and he continues to be inspired by the wildlife and landscapes around his home in Norfolk. Martin s interest in birds began as a boy during the Second World War while living in Ashdown Forest in Sussex, mentored by a local doctor who was not only an excellent naturalist, but also drew birds. In 1947 Martin sent one of his early drawings, of a great snipe, to the conservationist and artist Sir Peter Scott, and the inspiring letter of reply, with thumbnail pen and ink drawing of a white-fronted goose, is included here (lot 155). At school in the West Sussex countryside, there was ample opportunity for birding, and in Martin s teens he discovered Cley Marsh, and benefitted hugely from bird artist Richard Richardson s encouragement and advice, soon ranging further afield to the Camargue, the Alps and then Uganda. In 1965 Martin became the Honorary Secretary of the British Ornithologists Club, and as a result of a contact there, jumped at the chance of illustrating a planned Field Guide to the Birds of South-East Asia, spending several months birding in Thailand and Malaya. He then started eight years of spare-time work painting the plates (while pursuing a normal business career). The publishers were keen on further projects, so at last it seemed possible to make a living out of his twin passions for birds and painting. Over the following years Martin travelled extensively in Europe, Asia and Africa, and illustrated many field guides, and monographs on families such as Pittas, Hornbills and Nightjars. Work on the illustrations for the seven-volume handbook The Birds of Africa lasted over 25 years. The fieldwork involved in this project formed the basis for his book Safari Sketchbook, published in Throughout his career as a wildlife and bird artist Martin assembled a fine library of bird books for both reference and pleasure. Many of the books were bought from the natural history rare books specialists Wheldon & Wesley from the 1960s onwards. There are a good number of association copies and Martin s pencil signature appears in most of the books, along with loosely inserted old invoices and correspondence, plus related pamphlets, notices and cuttings. A number of the volumes, as noted in the descriptions below, also include Martin s original watercolour and pencil drawings of birds, making these copies unique.

These maps were, for their time, a technical innovation. They were the first maps based on geodetic triangulation, and took more than fifty years to complete. Four generations of the Cassini family were involved in their production. These maps, known as Cassini Maps or Maps of the Academy, are still referenced by geographers, historians and genealogists. In 1808, Napoleon I decided to produce a map intended to be more accurate than that of Cassini. However, Napoleon demanded that the primary goal of the work was to produce battlefield maps. The triangulation for this new map began also from the Paris meridian arc or French meridian line, surveyed this time by Delambre and Méchain. Work on this map took place between 1817 and During this period several different scales were tested, with the scale 1:80,000 being chosen. This became known as the Geological Survey map. The funding for this work was provided by the Department of War. The first work was done by the Dépôt de la Guerre (as referenced on the index map) and later by the Geographical Service of the Army, whose first director General François Perrier and his successor General Bassot re-measured the French meridian arc. The variety of paper used on this example is noticeable and indicative of a map produced over a long period of time. (131) France.

111 352 Smith (Joseph). The Book of Doctrine & Covenants, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; Selected from the Revelations of God, Second European edition, Liverpool: Orson Pratt, 1849, erratum leaf, contemporary ink ownership inscription of William Huskins to front pastedown, a few minor spots, inner hinges cracked, original blind-stamped brown cloth, somewhat rubbed and a few minor stains, small chip at head of lower board, 12mo After an unsuccessful attempt to publish in 1833, the first edition appeared in 1835, and later editions incorporated additional revelations and reference aids. In February 1841 in Liverpool, some 4,000 copies of the 1837 Kirtland edition were printed and it was from the plates of the European edition that subsequent Latter-Day Saint editions would descend. Following the Liverpool printing of 3,000 copies of the first European edition in 1845 by Wilford Woodruff, this 1849 Second European Edition published by Apostle Orson Pratt and printed by R. James moved the index to the front of the volume, (in the present volume the index is headed Index and not Contents as noted by the Maxwell Institute and includes the chronology of revelations), along with other format changes which were retained for many later editions. Five thousand copies were printed, and George Q. Cannon used it for his translation for the Hawaii edition. The Nauvoo edition had been printed in The present copy was probably published around November Citing from the Latter-Day Saints Millennial Star Vol. II, No. 10, 15th May 1849: The Book of Doctrine and Covenants are all gone, but soon will be reprinted. From the same journal and volume, No. 22, 15th November 1849: The Doctrine and Covenants are now ready. An additional index has been formed in the order of the date in which the several revelations were given. The second European edition of The Book of Mormon was published in Liverpool in May 1849, also by Orson Pratt. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), The Doctrine and Covenants of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stands alongside the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and The Pearl of Great Price as scripture. Together the LDS Church s scriptures are referred to as the standard works. The LDS Church s version of the Doctrine and Covenants is described by the church as containing revelations given to Joseph Smith, the Prophet, with some additions by his successors in the Presidency of the Church.

The various countries and cultures are dealt with fairly haphazardly in terms of chapter order, and the author, no doubt with a view to the book selling well, majors on the more sensational themes of his subject, such as incest, premarital relations, adultery and its various punishments, and polygamy. One of the curious ceremonies described is that of the Hottentot marriage: the priest... enters the circle of men, and coming up to the bridegroom, pisses upon him a little. The bridegroom receives the stream with transport, rubbing it briskly all over his body, and making with his long nails, for the Hottentots never cut their s) [sic] several deep scratches in his skin, that the urine may penetrate and soak the farther.

Provenance: apparently found in the tent of Ayub Khan, emir of Afghanistan ( ), at Muzra (i.e. Mazra ah) after the Battle of Kandahar in 1880, the decisive engagement of the Second Afghan War (manuscript note attached to the satchel accompanying the manuscript); later in the collection of Sir Eustace Dixon Borrowes, 11th Baronet ( ; listed in typescript document titled Papers, Deeds, Books, etc., The Property of Sir Eustace Dixon Borrowes Bart., 1924, photocopy supplied); thence by descent to the present owner. Sir Kildare Borrowes, 10th Baronet ( ) was an officer in the 11th Hussars, one of the 31 cavalry regiments deployed during the Second Afghan War, so the manuscript may have been originally obtained by him.

126 395* Letter of Marque. A rare manuscript letter of marque issued by the Admiralty to Captain David Browning, commander of the ship The Viper, dated 6th July 1779, large manuscript document in a clear clerical hand, brown ink on Whatman laid paper, with watermark, signed at the foot by Thomas Cox and Thomas Brookbank junior of the high Court of Admiralty of England, and Godfrey Lee Farren registrar, addressed to verso The Viper Capt. D. Browning French, creased where folded, small holes to folded corners, without loss, generally in very good condition, overall size 485 x 592mm (19 x 23.25ins) The use of letters of marque by the British king and his government allowed merchant vessels, or privateers, to seek redress for loss of goods and trade caused by hostile French ships, by the seizure of ships vessels and goods belonging to the French king with instructions to bring the same to judgement in our high Courts of Admiralty of England, as this document states. The captain is authorized to set forth in a warlike manner and by force of arms to apprehend seize and take the ships vessels and goods. The letter also requires the captain to keep a journal of his activities, including a list of all his prizes, and their approximate value, as well as provide any information on the movements, locations, designs and strength of the French fleets and vessels. In return the captain may sell and dispose of such ships vessels and goods. The Viper is carefully described in the document as a ship of about 365 tons, being Loop sterned, no head and one mast, mounted with twenty eight Carriage Guns carrying Shot of Nine pounds weight, and twelve Swivel Guns, and navigated with one hundred and twenty men. It belongs to the port of Folkstone, it s principal owners being James Clark and David Major of Folkstone, merchants. Provenance: Contained within a folio family scrap album kept by Lionel S. Lewis, titled to inside front cover Family Record Book, and dated November 16th 1886, and including a variety of 18th and 19th century legal documents, share certificates, manuscript notes and letters, and photographs, all captioned and with extensive related handwritten notes. Many leaves are loose, and some chipped to edges with loss. The Lewis or Lewys family appear to originate from Stoke Gaylard in Dorset, with later generations resident in Thanet, Kent. Lionel Lewis s great grandmother was Mrs. Thomas Cramp, whose first husband was George Browning. The letter of marque is captioned by Lionel Lewis Letters of marque dated July 6th 1779 addressed to my Great-grandmother s brother-in-law. The ship s captain David Browning would therefore be the brother of George Browning. (1) Manuscript illumination.

Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot. The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50, % between 50, and 200, % between 200, and 350, % between 350, and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling.

148 CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account. 3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer ( the hammer price ) together with a premium of 20% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% which under the Auctioneer s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as the total sum due ). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 20% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses. 7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to theauctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
