The inscription below the engraving reads ‘If the Post has not yet been
obtained he (Sir Thomas Raffles) is to desist from any further attempt to
establish one, Governor-General to Col. Bannerman, Governor of Penang,
February 20. 1819’. Ignoring this order, Raffles raised the British flag in
Singapore nine days later. His argument being that Singapore was in a
strategically important position and he did not want to allow an occupation
by the Dutch. It is strange that this large print has no attribution to an artist
or an engraver. Many of these engravings were taken from sketches
produced by military and naval officers posted to these far flung corners of
the empire; however the quality of both the image and the engraving points
to a professional artist. The panorama is found in Lady Sophia Raffles ‘Memoir
of.... Sir Thomas Stanford Raffles’, of 1830 - Abbey Travel no. 555 - and
although the panorama is unsigned, a prospectus announcing the publication
of Raffles’s ‘History of Java’ mentions that William Daniell would be the
principal engraver of this work. The quality of the engraving would suggest
that this is a very reasonable deduction.

under the leadership of Your Lordship and other eminent
personalities, has been a matter of deep satisfaction to Us,
particularly as regards the response and generosity of the British
People, so sorely tried and burdened by the costs of a defenseeconomy.
We are sure that Your Lordship senses the depth of Our
appreciation for your leadership and contributions. Its depth should
be apparent to all who perceive that this memorial to Our beloved
daughter who shared Our sorrows and exile, comes precisely from
that staunch People who, in sharing also and in extending Us a
refuge, have, to this day and in this way, sealed imperishable bonds
of friendship and sympathy’, clearly signed in blue ink, printed blue

Princess Tsehai (died 1942) was the third daughter of Emperor Haile Selassie.
She often accompanied the Emperor to public events during his exile in Great
Britain (1936-1941) where she trained as a nurse. Princess Tsehai died in
Welega from complications during childbirth during which her child did not
survive either. Emperor Haile Selassie founded the Princess Tsehai Memorial
Hospital in her memory, which also served as a nursing school. After the 1974
revolution, the hospital was renamed the Armed Forces General Hospitale.

monogram on upper cover, and signed ‘Cedric Chivers, Bath’ on rear

a dove on a seme dot ground in the lower margin, enclosing a

below ‘pasce oves meas’, lower cover with pale green coloured

Alice Shepherd was trained by Mary Ann Bassett, and worked with her for a
time, but she is best known for her work for Cedric Chivers. She began
working at Chivers’ Bath bindery in 1897, where she was in charge of a special
department of about five women doing cut and modelled calf work, designing
and illuminating, and colouring vellum. Alice Shepherd is renowned for her
cut and embossed leather work, but she also produced designs for gold
tooling and for paintings used in vellucent panels, as here. Chivers showed a
number of her bindings at his Library Bureau, 10 Bloombury Street, London,
in 1897, and many were illustrated in the brochure he issued. Her work also
appears in Chivers’ ‘Books in Beautiful Bindings’, an illustrated catalogue of
ninety-nine modelled, vellucent, and gold-tooled bindings. The fact that some
of the bindings Alice Shepherd did for Chivers bear her signature or
monogram is a measure of the high regard in which she was held. Her
designs, according to Chivers, were never repeated. (Marianne Tidcombe,

to a Mr. Evans, on British Dental Association headed notepaper,
dated 18.12.34, which concerns a journal paper written by Mr. Evans
- ‘you have assembled your facts well & your descriptions are good’,
single leaf, written on both sides, folded once, and the other from
Dr. S. Prakash to Mr. Evans, written from Rangoon and dated 15th
Jan. 1934, in which Dr. Prakash asks advice about a patient of Evans’
he is treating who has a fixed orthodontic appliance in her mouth,
saying it ‘was put there by you with the help of Miss Smythe and
was intended to move the left upper canine backwards and
outwards into the space created by the extraction of 1st premolar’,
adding that the tooth did not appear to be moving, which Prakash
concludes ‘is due to the fact that she is about 19 or 20 - too old to
move the tooth’, before going on to describe the practise of
dentistry in Rangoon - ‘There is no registration of dentists here and
so crowds of mechanics are practising the profession, majority of
these people being Japanese. Among such quacks there is also a
Frenchman who makes money by mere bluffing’, single leaf, written
on both sides, folded twice
Lilian Lindsay’s own copy of a scarce book. Lindsay was the first woman to
qualify in dentistry in Britain, graduating in 1895 against many odds and much
prejudice. She subsequently held many important positions, including
honorary librarian of the British Dental Association, President of the
Odontological Section and History of Medicine Section of the Royal Society
of Medicine, President of the British Society for the Study of Orthodontics,
and sub-editor of the British Dental Journal, in which she published 57 papers
between 1925 and 1959. In 1933 she published her book on the history of
dentistry. In 1946 Lindsay became the first female President of the British
Dental Association, and was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University
of Edinburgh, as well as the CBE. In the same year she published her
translation of Fauchard’s ‘Le Chirurgien Dentiste’, the first time this landmark
work had been translated into English.

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
19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the
premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% 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 19.5% 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 £1.00 + 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.
Conditions of Sale and Business
142
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 the Auctioneer
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 best bid, 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.
