IRELAND 62 Rare Plan Of Pheonix Park With The Murder Of Lord Frederick Cavendish MCLAGAN & CUMMING. 'PLAN OF THE PHOENIX PARK, DUBLIN, Showing the ROUTES TAKEN by the ASSASSINS before and after the Murder of LORD FREDERICK CAVENDISH and Mr BURKE, 6th May 1882. [rule] M'LAGAN & CUMMING, 135 High Street, Edinburgh. [rule].' 'M.cLagan & Cumming, Lith. Edin.r' 'PRICE ONE PENNY.' Edinburgh: McLagan & Cumming, [ca. 1882]; lithograph, border: 363 x 473 widest: 370 x 476 mm, highlighted with original colour. Originally stored folded, with the two outer panels soiled, one fold split almost to the centrefold, with an area of loss infilled, but only minor loss of geographical detail. Rare plan of Phoenix Park and the north-western part of Dublin, published to show the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish in the park on 6th May 1882. Lord Cavendish, Chief Secretary for Ireland and his companion, Thomas Burke, the Permanent Under Secretary, were attacked, while walking in the park, by members of the Irish National Invincibles, an extremist nationalist group. The route of the murderers into the park, and then their route back to their hideout on St Stephens' Green is marked, partly in the main map, and partly in an inset sketch. A second inset depicts the murder of Mr. Field, on Frederick Street, Dublin, on 27th November of the same year. At the time, it was thought Field was murdered by the same group.

EUROPE 63 Rare Eclipse Map Of Europe SENEX, John. 'A NEW MAP OF EUROPE From the latest Observations With M.r WHISTON'S Delineation of the Paths of the Centers of VIII famous Eclipses of the Sun: and the breadths of their total Shadows & Annular Penumbræ by Io.n Senex.' London: John Senex, [ca. 1738]; copperplate engraving, border: 490 x 577 platemark: - x 590mm, in black and white. A few short tears into the printed area restored. Rare map of Europe, originally engraved as the general map of Europe for Senex's 'New General Atlas' (London, 1721), here re-engraved to depict the paths of a series of eclipses over Europe, between 431 A.D. and 1764. Dating the map has caused some confusion. The only publisher's name present is that of John Senex (d. 30th December 1740), mentioned in the title and the short advertisement panel. However, the last eclipse mentioned is that of 21.st March 1764, leading some commentators to date the map 1764. I feel more inclined to date to the map to circa 1738, the final years of Senex's career, and see the 1764 eclipse drawn as predicted and calculated by William Whiston Sr., who died on 22nd August 1752. Senex's engraved advertisement in the map is of little help in dating: 'There is now made & sold by I: Senex F:R:S. a large Pair of Globes of 28 Inches Diameter, fitt to adorne the Librarys of the Curious. He also sels the best Globes of 17. 12. & 9 Inch.s Diam.r: Also D.r Haley's Zodiac, & a large pair of coelestial Hemispheres &c. at his House overag.t S.t Dunstans Church in Fleetstreet.' He was elected F.R.S. in 1728, while the 28-inch globes take pride of place in an undated engraved catalogue, dateable on internal evidence to ca. 1729-1732. COPAC records only the British Library example. £2,000 53
