* Hunt (George). View on the Thames, shewing Goding's New Lion Ale Brewery, The Wharfs, Shot Factories, and the Lambeth end of Waterloo Bridge, London: John Moore, December 30th, 1836, aquatint by Geoge Hunt after Francis Calcraft Turner, printed in colour and finished by hand, thread margins, a few short closed tears and surface abrasions, light toning, 450 x 620 mm, mounted, framed & glazedQty: (1)NOTESGoding's Brewery (or Lion Brewery) was built in 1836, to a design by Francis Edwards. The Goding family brewery, headed by Thomas Goding, was very successful during the nineteenth century. The site was particularly desirable as there was a waterworks nearby, which the Godings bought and incorporated into the brewery in 1853. The water used for brewing was sourced from the five wells inside the building. The brewery was taken over in 1924 by the brewers Hoare and Co., of Wapping, and was badly damaged by fire in 1931. It remained derelict until it was demolished in 1949. The Royal Festival Hall stands in its place today and the only evidence of the original brewery is the large lion visible on the top of the building, made of artificial Coade stone and is known as the South Bank Lion.Amendment: This item is no longer framed and glazed, however the frame is still with the lot.

Hugh Broughton (1549-1612) was one of the outstanding Hebrew scholars of his generation, and immensely learned not only in biblical Hebrew but also in the Talmud and other Rabbinic writings; he knew many Jewish scholars during his residence abroad. For many years he advocated a new translation of the Bible into English but in fact it was John Rainolds, an old adversary, who in 1604 put in motion the efforts which led to the Authorised Version of 1611. Educated at Cambridge, he studied Hebrew under Chevallier or Cevallerius and became a fellow of St John's College. He was appointed to a prebendal stall at Durham in 1578, which he later resigned, coming to settle in London where he worked as a private tutor for some years before going to Germany in 1589. Essentially he remained abroad for the rest of his life, returning to England only to die.

The rare first edition of Culpeper's famous Herbal, which has been almost continuously in print since its first appearance. The early female owner of this copy 'Winifrid Warham' may be the Winifred Warham of St. Andrew's Holborn, who is listed in Charles Cosin, The Names of the Roman Catholics, Nonjurors, and others who refus'd to take the Oaths to his late Majesty King George, 2nd edition, 1746 (page 18), and who is therein described as having an estate at Crostcombe (probably present-day Corscombe), in Dorset, in possession of Francis Allen.

"There were two impressions of the first edition, one in December 1751, the second in January 1752; no distinguishing characteristics have been recorded". Millar ordered William Strahan to print the work on two of his printing presses in order to produce a total of 5,000 copies for the first run of the work. Rothschild claims that there were two impressions, one in December 1751, the second in January 1752, but this seems to be confused with the second edition of 3,000 copies which Millar ordered to follow the first but subsequently cancelled. "Fielding's Amelia was the most pleasing heroine of all the romances...but that vile broken nose never cured, ruined the sale of perhaps the only book, which being printed off betimes one morning, a new edition was called for before night" Samuel Johnson, pp.221-222 in Anecdotes of the late Samuel Johnson, 1786. Johnson's concern seems to have been noted, for Fielding's second edition of Amelia did see the addition of a scene in which the eponymous heroine's nose is reset. (Second work) - Rothschild 844. Fielding's first novel.

Lady Glover was buried on 14 April 1612, although she had died in November 1608, long before Forde ever reached Constantinople, her husband preserving her body in bran. This sermon, preached in "a pleasant garden, under a lofty Cypresse tree", contains information on Turkish funeral customs.
