encourage a rapid sale. (The words announcing <strong>the</strong> “edition” are printed<br />

between <strong>the</strong> volume number and <strong>the</strong> imprint.) In all five issues, <strong>the</strong> same<br />

misprints persist. The genuine second edition was <strong>the</strong> one-volume “Library<br />

Edition” which Chapman and Hall published in 1862.’ The rarity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first<br />

issue <strong>of</strong> ‘Great Expectations’ has been attributed to it being almost entirely<br />

taken up by libraries. It is believed that 1000 copies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first issue and 750<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second were printed, and that probably most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first and more than<br />

half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second were purchased by Mudie’s Select Library. All <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first<br />

five issues are rare in original cloth.<br />

THE ANTIQUARIAN LIBRARY OF EMERITUS PROFESSOR DAVID A. PAILIN<br />

This fine collection <strong>of</strong> antiquarian books relating to <strong>the</strong> Philosophy <strong>of</strong><br />

Religion was assembled by Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Pailin (University <strong>of</strong> Manchester)<br />

over a period <strong>of</strong> almost forty years as a working library. It provides a<br />

comprehensive survey <strong>of</strong> thought about <strong>the</strong> nature and content <strong>of</strong> faith<br />

in this period. Major works and treatises on <strong>the</strong> subject are present,<br />

as well as lesser-known texts, including items on moral philosophy,<br />

arguments about deism, collected works, critical works, plus bound<br />

volumes <strong>of</strong> tracts and pamphlets. The majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> works, which<br />

total some 1,180 items, are in English, and a number <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> books are<br />

extremely scarce. Condition is mostly good, with repairs having been<br />

carried out where necessary in a sympa<strong>the</strong>tic manner.<br />

'My collection <strong>of</strong> antiquarian books started accidentally. One or two<br />

volumes were given to me by relatives (including Samuel Clarke’s<br />

Three Practical Discourses, 1721). John Robinson’s Observations<br />

Divine and Morall, 1625, was acquired in <strong>the</strong> early 1960s when I was<br />

one <strong>of</strong> several Methodist ministers who were invited to take a few<br />

volumes from <strong>the</strong> library <strong>of</strong> a recently deceased Church member. I<br />

took this volume because its author shared <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>n<br />

somewhat notorious Bishop <strong>of</strong> Woolwich, thinking that, if opportunity<br />

arose, I could tease people by quoting ‘John Robinson’: it was many<br />

years later that I discovered that <strong>the</strong> earlier John Robinson had been<br />

pastor to <strong>the</strong> Pilgrim Fa<strong>the</strong>rs in Leiden. The collected works <strong>of</strong> John<br />

Wesley in sixteen volumes (1810-1821) came from <strong>the</strong> same source. I bought <strong>the</strong> four-volume collected works <strong>of</strong> John Locke (1768) because<br />

it seemed useful for me to have at hand <strong>the</strong> text <strong>of</strong> his Essay concerning Human Understanding while I was completing a <strong>the</strong>sis on Newman’s<br />

Grammar <strong>of</strong> Assent. It was only in <strong>the</strong> second half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1960s that <strong>the</strong> collection started to have a focus, even if a somewhat fuzzy one.<br />

On being appointed to an Assistant Lectureship in <strong>the</strong> Philosophy <strong>of</strong> Religion (a position so lowly that it was soon abolished), I started work<br />

on a doctoral <strong>the</strong>sis. While <strong>the</strong> original aim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>sis was to examine how major nineteenth and twentieth-century philosophers and<br />

<strong>the</strong>ologians had understood <strong>the</strong> logic and content <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ological assertions in response to fundamental questions posed by <strong>the</strong> works <strong>of</strong><br />

David Hume and Immanuel Kant, I began by enquiring into <strong>the</strong> background <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir works in <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>ological debates about <strong>the</strong> relationship<br />

between faith, belief and reason that took place in <strong>the</strong> preceding decades, starting with <strong>the</strong> views <strong>of</strong> Locke.<br />

Eventually this study became so extensive that it formed <strong>the</strong> subject <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>sis. I examined how some argued that belief must be limited<br />

to what rational reflection alone can determine and o<strong>the</strong>rs that belief may extend beyond those limits by including <strong>the</strong> content <strong>of</strong> rationally<br />

au<strong>the</strong>nticated revelations, while yet o<strong>the</strong>rs, in contrast, cast religious, <strong>the</strong>ological and philosophical doubts on <strong>the</strong> competence <strong>of</strong> reason in<br />

such matters. While I had access to a good library in <strong>the</strong> university, it was much more convenient to have <strong>the</strong> books that I wanted to study<br />

carefully at home. Accordingly, as opportunity arose, I began to buy books relevant to <strong>the</strong> debates about faith and reason from <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

seventeenth to <strong>the</strong> start <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nineteenth century (i.e. <strong>the</strong> period from Locke to William Paley).'<br />

George Edmund Street (1824-1881) is considered by many to be one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

greatest Gothic Revival architects in Europe. As a young man he was first<br />

apprenticed to an architect in Winchester, and <strong>the</strong>n to Sir George Gilbert Scott<br />

in 1844. Just four years later, Street left to establish his own practice, which<br />

was known particularly for <strong>the</strong> many church commissions carried out in Britain<br />

and abroad. Street’s most celebrated secular work, <strong>the</strong> Law Courts in London,<br />

was begun in 1866, and he is recorded as having made 3000 drawings for<br />

<strong>the</strong> project, leaving his son to finish <strong>the</strong> building after his death. Street’s <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

played a pivotal role in <strong>the</strong> Arts and Crafts Movement; both Philip Webb and<br />

William Morris worked with him as did Richard Norman Shaw and both<br />

Seddings. Like Pugin, Butterfield, Scott and Burges, Street was interested in<br />

<strong>the</strong> building as a complete entity, and designed, amongst o<strong>the</strong>r things,<br />

furniture, textiles, stained glass and metalwork, as well as tiles. One <strong>of</strong><br />

Street’s most important restoration commissions was <strong>the</strong> refurbishment <strong>of</strong><br />

Christ Church Ca<strong>the</strong>dral in Dublin between 1871 and 1878. This restoration<br />

scheme was funded by vast sums <strong>of</strong> money donated by local distiller Henry<br />

Roe, making it possible to pave <strong>the</strong> whole floor with tiles <strong>of</strong> every description;<br />

Street’s designs for <strong>the</strong> project were subsequently exhibited at <strong>the</strong> Paris<br />

Exhibition <strong>of</strong> 1878.<br />

cm) discovered being used as a bookmark in <strong>the</strong> 1930 volume <strong>of</strong> Punch. Sheila<br />

was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> best pony book illustrators <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> post-war period, her<br />

style instantly recognisable, quite spare and swiftly drawn. She had <strong>the</strong> rare<br />

ability to draw both horses and people equally well. Born in Bishop's Stortford<br />

on September 26th 1929, she was educated at Hitchin Grammar School and<br />

Harrogate College. She started riding her own ponies and drawing <strong>the</strong>m when<br />

she was four, and 'competed at all shows in Hertfordshire between 1940 and<br />

1945 (according to her entry in Who's Who in <strong>the</strong> Pony Magazine Annual 1968).<br />

She illustrated her first book in 1949 and was highly prolific during <strong>the</strong> 1950s<br />

and 60s. She moved to Rome c. 1964/5 where she remained for <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> her<br />

life, having very little contact with her family during this period.<br />

"The photographs by my fa<strong>the</strong>r Alberto Korda, <strong>of</strong>fered here, formed part <strong>of</strong> my personal<br />

collection, and were acquired at various times over several decades. When I was still<br />

very small, my fa<strong>the</strong>r left two cases full <strong>of</strong> photographs at home, and for some years<br />

my favourite game and many days <strong>of</strong> my childhood were passed looking at <strong>the</strong>m one<br />

said no - it could be a single image or several, always it was left for me to choose I<br />

noted that <strong>the</strong> interest that I took in his work made him happy. On 14th March 1968<br />

his files were confiscated, he only recovered bits and pieces, and up to today <strong>the</strong>y<br />

remain held in <strong>the</strong> National Archives <strong>of</strong> Cuba in Havana. My fa<strong>the</strong>r maintained <strong>the</strong> right<br />

to use <strong>the</strong>m every time that he was required to make prints. For many years I was<br />

able to see how he made copies in his darkroom and to see with my own eyes <strong>the</strong><br />

negatives and <strong>the</strong> magic <strong>of</strong> developing." (Norka Korda, February 2013).<br />

also saw an English film directed by <strong>the</strong> Korda bro<strong>the</strong>rs, Alexander and Zoltan. I<br />

thought <strong>the</strong> surname Korda sounded like Kodak so I named <strong>the</strong> studio after <strong>the</strong>m<br />

remember that <strong>the</strong>re was a studio called Korda”<br />

"At that time I was, and still am, an advocate <strong>of</strong> natural light. Almost 95% <strong>of</strong> all<br />

my photographs have been shot under natural light. In <strong>the</strong> early days I had to<br />

struggle for what I wanted. Often it would take six rolls to get <strong>the</strong> image I was<br />

looking for, but when I got it I knew what <strong>the</strong> print would look like even before I<br />

had developed it. In that way, I have always worked hard, and so I used to make<br />

my models work hard also”<br />

These fishing photographs were taken on <strong>the</strong> 14th May 1960, second day <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hemingway Tournament, to which<br />

Che and o<strong>the</strong>r friends were invited by Fidel to accompany him on board his boat. The tournament's origins went back<br />

to 1950 when <strong>the</strong> writer Ernest Hemingway took part. A group <strong>of</strong> fishermen proposed that <strong>the</strong> tournament be named<br />

after <strong>the</strong> famous writer, for <strong>the</strong> affection and passion that he felt for this recreational sport. Hemingway not only<br />

accepted, but donated <strong>the</strong> cup for <strong>the</strong> first three tournaments. Hemingway won <strong>the</strong> tournament from 1953 to 1955.<br />

Hemingway returned in 1960 to carry <strong>of</strong>f <strong>the</strong> prize for <strong>the</strong> 11th International Hemingway Tournament, where he met<br />

with <strong>the</strong> leader <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro.<br />

Between 1959 and 1969 Korda was a<br />

correspondent for <strong>the</strong> magazine Revolucion. It is<br />

<strong>the</strong> era <strong>of</strong> his great photojournalism and for his<br />

photographs <strong>of</strong> Fidel, Che and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r leaders <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Revolution. Unlike many <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />

photographers, Korda never portrays Castro as<br />

leader, but as a human being ... "and that was<br />

relatively easy to achieve, since <strong>the</strong>re weren't<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs following him and photographing him on<br />

his day-to-day activities", Korda said respectfully.<br />

Perhaps <strong>the</strong> best known photo <strong>of</strong> Castro in Cuba<br />

taken by Korda, is that in which he is standing on<br />

a mountain, in pr<strong>of</strong>ile, with his backpack and rifle.<br />

It was taken during a tour by Castro in <strong>the</strong> Sierra<br />

Maestra. The photograph was produced as a<br />

poster by <strong>the</strong> tens <strong>of</strong> thousands that flooded <strong>the</strong><br />

island with <strong>the</strong> slogan 'Commander in Chief, by<br />

order!' Korda has captioned and signed <strong>the</strong> mount<br />

Alberto Korda has noted that Che Guevara was a very difficult man to photograph and that his famous portrait <strong>of</strong><br />

Che Guevara, thought to be <strong>the</strong> most reproduced photograph in history, was a "lucky break". Korda actually only<br />

took photographs <strong>of</strong> Che on a handful <strong>of</strong> occasions. The golf tournament, <strong>the</strong> Nikaro mining series and <strong>the</strong> Zafra<br />

series are all represented here, including four lots <strong>of</strong> Korda photographs consigned by a friend <strong>of</strong> Norka Korda.<br />

Of <strong>the</strong> Zafra series Korda noted:<br />

“Che was doing some tests with Alzadora, a new machine for cu ting sugarcane that he had<br />

designed with a French engineer. When I found him, his face blackened with sweat and dust a bit<br />

pu fed up with cortisone he was taking at <strong>the</strong> time, he looked at me with a mixture <strong>of</strong> irony and<br />

surprise. ‘Ah, you’re here Korda. Where did you come from originally – <strong>the</strong> town or <strong>the</strong> countryside?’<br />

I replied: ‘Me? From Havana, Comandante’. He asked: ‘And have you ever cut sugarcane?’ and I had to<br />

reply: ‘Never!’. He turned towards one <strong>of</strong> his guards: ‘Alfonso, find a machete for <strong>the</strong> companero<br />

journalist’, and as he turned to me, he added: ‘As for photos, try again next week.’”<br />

On <strong>the</strong> 28th October 1962 <strong>the</strong> Soviet leader agreed to <strong>the</strong> American demands<br />

pockets?’ I didn’t reply, but thought to myself: ‘What’s <strong>the</strong> problem? I paid for all <strong>the</strong> film myself!’ It was only much later that I understood, when <strong>the</strong> blockade<br />

<strong>of</strong> Cuba began” (Cuba by Korda, p. 94).<br />

Korda always considered his portrait <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> girl with <strong>the</strong> wooden doll<br />

as <strong>the</strong> turning point in his career and this image remained his<br />

favourite <strong>of</strong> all his own photographs until his death in Paris in 2001.<br />

“It was about two months after <strong>the</strong> Revolution started that I made my<br />

first social intervention. My portrait <strong>of</strong> a young girl entitled La Nina de<br />

la Meneca de Palo was completed in 1959. An advertising agency had<br />

sent me to <strong>the</strong> countryside to photograph <strong>the</strong> farmers, and in <strong>the</strong><br />

courtyard <strong>of</strong> a very poor house I found this girl. She was afraid <strong>of</strong> me<br />

and <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> camera and was telling a wooden stick, “Don’t cry, my<br />

baby”. When I met <strong>the</strong> parents <strong>the</strong>y told me that <strong>the</strong>y couldn’t afford<br />

a proper doll for <strong>the</strong> girl. That made me think a lot and I remembered<br />

Fidel’s speech about <strong>the</strong> social reality <strong>of</strong> Cuba in which he said that<br />

girls without dolls would disappear with <strong>the</strong> Revolution. In that<br />

moment I decided that I would dedicate my life and work to <strong>the</strong><br />

Revolution” (Interview with Mark Sanders, in Alberto Korda, p. 429).<br />

"My fa<strong>the</strong>r was looking for locations to take fashion photos, and he<br />

found this girl, Paulina, close to a country dwelling in <strong>the</strong> settlement<br />

<strong>of</strong> Sumidero, municipality <strong>of</strong> Minas de Matahambre, in <strong>the</strong> province<br />

<strong>of</strong> Pinar del Rio. It became one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> five most important and iconic<br />

Korda photographs. It was published on <strong>the</strong> front page <strong>of</strong> a local<br />

newspaper, denouncing <strong>the</strong> poverty <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> countryside and <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

children that didn't have more than a stick <strong>of</strong> wood for a doll and a<br />

piece <strong>of</strong> paper to clo<strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>m with. This image prompted <strong>the</strong><br />

inhabitants Havana to buy masses <strong>of</strong> toys to send as presents to <strong>the</strong><br />

children <strong>of</strong> rural Cuba. It was always my fa<strong>the</strong>r's favourite."<br />

The Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) is now sadly extinct, once a flightless bird indigenous to Mauritius in <strong>the</strong> Indian Ocean. Little is known about <strong>the</strong> Dodo but paintings<br />

and written accounts appeared from <strong>the</strong> 17th century onwards, <strong>the</strong> first account written by Dutch sailors in 1598. It is believed that <strong>the</strong> readiness <strong>of</strong> food (fruit)<br />

and absence <strong>of</strong> predators on <strong>the</strong> island was a contributing factor to it becoming flightless, which ultimately led to its extinction as <strong>the</strong> bird became preyed upon<br />

by hungry sailors and <strong>the</strong>ir domesticated animals which had been introduced to <strong>the</strong> island. The last recorded sighting <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dodo was in 1662 but fossil remains<br />

have enabled scientists to create a pattern <strong>of</strong> its size and weight, i.e. 3 ft 3 ins tall and 10-18 kg in weight.<br />

A complete set <strong>of</strong> this lavishly illustrated work, being <strong>the</strong> first comprehensive flora <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> East Indies. Many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> plants are here<br />

illustrated for <strong>the</strong> first time. The botanist Rheede tot Draakestein was governor <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dutch colony <strong>of</strong> Malabar on <strong>the</strong> South West<br />

Coast <strong>of</strong> India from 1669 to 1676, and Chief Representative <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dutch East India Company in India from 1684. The work was<br />

completed with <strong>the</strong> help <strong>of</strong> several colleagues in <strong>the</strong> field, including <strong>the</strong> Italian missionary Fa<strong>the</strong>r Mat<strong>the</strong>us a St. Joseph, who produced<br />

many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> drawings. Their work was sent back to Holland, where <strong>the</strong> botanical scholars Jan Commelin and Arnold Steyn added<br />

notes and assisted in its publication. Each plate is inscribed with <strong>the</strong> plant name in Latin, Malabarese, Arabic and ancient Brahmin.<br />

Provenance: <strong>Book</strong>plate <strong>of</strong> Robert Lumley Lloyd (1666-1729) <strong>of</strong> Cheam, Surrey, Rector <strong>of</strong> St. Paul’s, Convent Garden, and Chaplain to<br />

<strong>the</strong> Duke and Dowager Duchess <strong>of</strong> Bedford, and a keen botanist whose gardens at Cheam were highly regarded. Extensive annotations<br />

to first and last few leaves <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first and thirteenth volumes, by Peter Collinson FRS, with some additional notes by Michael Collinson,<br />

and several mounted botanical samples (with captions) <strong>of</strong> exotic plants and trees. Peter Collinson (1694-1768) was a gardener and<br />

natural scientist, particularly known for his correspondence with Benjamin Franklin concerning electricity.<br />

Collinson provides a lengthy biographical notice <strong>of</strong> his friend Lumley Lloyd to <strong>the</strong> front endpapers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first volume, ‘These books<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hortus Malabaricus was <strong>the</strong> Legacy <strong>of</strong> my Dear Friend Docr. Lumley Lloyd D.D. <strong>of</strong> Cheam in Surry ... he was from his youth a<br />

great Lover <strong>of</strong> Flowers & Rare Plants, he told mee when he was a young studient at Cambridge about <strong>the</strong> year 1686 that he purchased<br />

from Holland three or four seeds <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Narsturtium Indicum ... at half a crown each, being <strong>the</strong>n a great rarity for it came from India<br />

but two years before, he was so impatient to see it flower that he would not stirr out <strong>of</strong> Doors least it should Blow in his Absence.<br />

He well remembered and could name all <strong>the</strong> striped flowers Auriculas that was to purchased when he was a Lad att <strong>the</strong> 12 or 14th<br />

year <strong>of</strong> his age ... He told mee a long detail <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gardners he purchased <strong>the</strong>m <strong>of</strong>f & that he valued no brick for a new flower - he told<br />

mee <strong>the</strong> original or mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> fine Auriculas that was <strong>the</strong>n in being was Raised from <strong>the</strong> Seed <strong>of</strong> an Auricula named Blinds:<br />

Cream after <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> a Gardner at Mortlack that first produced it from seed, it was a flower that had good properties and was in<br />

request in my memory, but now anno 1746 I question if it is allowed a place in <strong>the</strong> pott or is to be found; Mr. Potter, Gardner at Micham<br />

had <strong>the</strong> greatest success in raising surprising fine Flowers from Seed with whome <strong>the</strong> Docr. laid out considerably every year<br />

notwithstanding he raised great many every year ... He with Mr. Potter’s assistance raised annually an infinite variety <strong>of</strong> most charming<br />

flowers & tulips he had almost without number produced from seed & breeders. So great was his love for this flower, <strong>of</strong> which he<br />

had <strong>the</strong> finest I ever saw in any collection - that he had two long and high iron frames which inclosed Two Beds Each, with a Walk in<br />

<strong>the</strong> Middle, this was all Coverd with Canvas to screen <strong>the</strong> Tulips from <strong>the</strong> Sun, it was very agreeable viewing <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong> Heat <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

day under this shade. These Two Iron Frames cost Eighty Pounds - all <strong>the</strong> Ranunculas & Anemony Beds had Lower Wood Frames &<br />

Canvas coverings. He spared No Expence to prolong His Favourite Flowers… My Valuable Friend was for greatest part <strong>of</strong> his Life<br />

sadly affected with <strong>the</strong> Gout, but when he could no longer bear being wheeld about his Garden in a Little Coach, so great was his<br />

Love for his darling amusement, he had his plants & flowers brought into his Library which was finely ornamented with <strong>the</strong>m'.<br />

Auctioneer shall have <strong>the</strong> right to bid on behalf <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> seller for any lot<br />

on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on<br />

which a reserve has been placed.<br />
