An advowson is the right of presentation to a benefice - a church living.

Note: The Royal Abbey of St. Thomas at Arbroath, Forfarshire, a house of Tironensian canons, was established by King William I (the Lion) in 1178 as a memorial to his childhood friend, Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was murdered in 1170. William I was himself buried there in 1214. John, Lord Hamilton, a son of Regent Arran, who later became the first Marquis of Hamilton, was the last commendator before the Reformation. He succeeded the second James Beaton, who also became Archbishop of Glasgow, as commendator in 1551, and ruled the abbey until 1560 when the Scottish reformation effectively brought monastic life at Arbroath to an end.

Each volume of the work was published separately between 1635 and 1655, in several languages. In its era, the Theatrum was considered to be the most comprehensive and accurate atlas produced, with volume 5 being regarded to this day first atlas of Scotland, using many maps developed by the cartographer, Timothy Pont. Forty-nine of the maps are of Scotland and 6 of Ireland.
Burns, Robert Autograph letter signed ('Robt. Burns') One page, 278 x 178mm, [Mossgiel, ca. 1 August 1786], to James Smith, regarding his turbulent courtship with Jean Armour; washed and pressed with residual soiling, green morocco portfolio by Riviere, green silk moire guards, gilt dentelles; [together with] A stipple-engraved portrait of Rogers after Nasmyth, light staining, minor marginal losses, one portfolio flap detached Note: Transported by the raptures of young love, Burns commits "the sin of rhyme." In a letter to his Mauchline friend James Smith, Burns paraphrases from Addison's Cato (Act I, scene 6): O Jenny, thou hast stolen away my soul! In vain I strive against the lov'd idea: They tender image sallies on my thoughts, My firm resolves become an easy prey! In spite of hi claims of yielding to Jean's beguiling charms, he vehemently declares: "Against two things however, I am fix'd as Fate: staying at home and owning her conjugally. - The first, by Heaven I will not do!. The last, by Hell, I will never do!" At Mauchline, Burns had fallen in love with Jean Armour (b. 1767), who, along with Smith's sister, was one of the "six proper young belles" celebrated in his poem of that place. By spring of 1786 it was apparent that Jeans was expecting Burns's child. According to the custom of the country and the morals of the people, Burns gave her a document acknowledging her as his lawful wife. Her father, a master mason and "Auld Lichter", bristled at the idea of his daughter wed to a poor ploughman of the "New Light" persuasion, and insisted the union be dissolved. Jean surrendered the document, and Burns was stung with indignation. Obtaining £20 from the sale of the Kilmarnock edition of his poems, he contemplated emigrating in late summer of 1786 to Jamaica with Mary Campbell ("Highland Mary" with whom he had started an affair that May). Jean's father obtained a warrant against Burns which would force him to provide for Jean's child. She gave birth to twins on 3 September 1786. Burns abandoned his plan for the West India expedition and finally married Jean in 1788, with whom he had nine children. "If you see Jean tell her, I will meet her. So help me Heaven in my hour of need!" Burns plaintively beseeches his friend at the end of his letter. Burns's correspondence with Smith (this being one of only six recorded letters) is of particular interest for details of the poet's turbulent courtship of Jean, revealing his unguarded thoughts on sex and marriage. Smith, son of a Mauchline merchant, revolted against his strict and repressive upbringing by forming with Burns and Richmond the infamous "Court of Equity" - "a happy triumvirate in village revelry". When his business failed in 1788, he emigrated to St. Lucia in the West Indies, where he was thought to have died about 1808. Mackay: Letters of Robert Burns , I, p.117. Provenance: John Gribbel (sale, Park-Bernet, 30 October 1940, lot 104)

Rowling, J.K. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone London: Bloomsbury, 1997. First edition, hardback, first impression with the '10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1' numberline on the publisher's imprint page and '1 wand' listed twice on p.53, inscribed and signed by J.K. Rowling on the front free-endpaper: "6-9-97 For James, Kate and Laura, with best wishes, J.K. Rowling", original pictorial boards, an extremely faint yellow mark to p.67 and some very light browning to pages as usually found, a very slight shelf-lean, some minor wear to covers Note: One of only 500 copies of the first edition, first impression hardback to have been produced. J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books have become a modern classic of children's literature, with first edition, first impression copies of Rowling’s first book being truly rare: 500 hardback copies were produced, with around 300 of these being given to libraries and schools. This would leave a maximum of 200 copies of the book in possible circulation in fine, non ex-library condition. The actual number is likely to be far lower. Only a handful of first edition, first impression books were then inscribed by J.K. Rowling for friends, acquaintances and family members. This copy is one such work. It is notable that this book is being offered for sale in Edinburgh – widely regarded as the ‘home of Harry Potter’. The boy wizard was dreamt up by Rowling on a delayed rail service between Manchester and London’s King’s Cross Station, however Rowling has said: “…Edinburgh is very much home for me and is the place where Harry evolved over seven books and many, many hours of writing in its cafés.” Similarities can also be found between Edinburgh’s many imposing independent schools and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Most notably, George Heriot’s School and Fettes College, with its impressive central spire, both strongly reflect the baronial architectural style of Hogwarts. In the past, Rowling has said that she imagines Hogwarts to be in Scotland: a claim corroborated by the Harry Potter films, where the Hogwarts Express is seen diving over the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct.
