Autograph letter on how to construct a bichromate battery for producing electric light, Rugby School, 20 May 1884, 6 pp., a few crude sketches, some light soiling and splits along folds, 8vo, with three other manuscripts: An autograph letter from Austrian emigre and auctioneer Alexander Cassano, 11 May 1808 in which he pleads against transportation to the colonies for letting his auction rooms in Piccadilly to a debating society; an archive of 28 autograph letters written mostly by statesman Lord Hartington to Manchester merchant William Rayner Wood on political meetings and elections for appointing Officers for the County of Lancashire (1850's-60's) and a manuscript deposition from plaintiff Elizabeth Wakefield against defendant Mary Ross for trespass and causing wilful damage to her house in Handsworth, West Midlands, circa 1828 (Qty: 6)NOTESThe first letter from Isaac Milner, mathematician and Dean of Carlisle, describes his chemical experiments to investigate whether water caused the oxidisation of lead, and discovered that it was in fact air, and describes experiments to produce a tincture of sulphur to identify lead in other substances, including wine; the second letter from Harry Seeley attacks Malet's rejection of Laplace's Nebular Hypothesis, "He mistakes the tools of the scientific man for science itself, and denies the tools to those who can use them, because he does not know or understand or appreciate the results which have thereby been obtained. Among such tools is the nebular hypothesis... Such writings of Mr. Malet's seems unwise, because it presents to the public the little one-sided knowledge which is dangerous and thereby tends to prevent people who believe in him from believing in the teachings of scientific men."; the third letter is from Reginald Harding, aged 13, writing at his father's behest to a Mr Hamel, detailing how to construct a bichromate battery in a long-neck bottle, with illustrations, and recommends the use of vacuum bulbs to produce electric light. The Rugby School notepaper has the name E.A. Scott (Edward Ashley Scott, Harding's house master) who perhaps assisted the young pupil with this information.

* Seton Family of Fordell, Fife, Scotland. A conveyance ‘for a certain sum of money’, witnessed at Edinburgh, 12 December 1515, vellum deed in Latin, John Setoun and his wife Janet Turnbill, portioners of Gargunnock (Gargernoke) [in Stirlingshire] and Fordell (Fordale) [in Fife], to William Spittale of Leuchat (Luquhat) and his wife Elizabeth Setoun and to the longer liver, remainder to their heirs in tail, remainder to William’s heirs, the moiety of the seventh part of the lands and mill of Fordell in the Barony of Fordell within the County of Fife, with all rights (specified in detail) both under the soil and above it, the alternate right of patronage and gift of the chaplain of the chapel of Saint [blank, with word infilled in light ink - ? Toroh gar] when vacant, the consideration paid to the vendors in their ‘urgent and known necessity’; the grant subject to the accustomed payments to the Crown; Witnesses: Master Alexander Setoun vicar of Bothelny, John Setoun of Balbirnie (Balbirny), David Cokburn of Treaton (Tretoun), Michael Blitht burgess of Edinburgh, John Anderson, some dust-soiling and small tear with loss to blank upper left corner, 22 x 30 cm, two red wax armorial seals appended with vellum tags, the first (defective) perhaps Or three crescents within a double tressure counter flowered Gules (for Seton); the second a single bull’s head (for Turnbull) (Qty: 1)NOTESThe property forming the subject of this conveyance was included in a grant by the Crown to John Setoun and Janet Turnbull on 23 November 1515 ( Register of the Great Seal of Scotland 3 52) and this conveyance was confirmed by the Crown on 11 January 1516 ( Register of the Great Seal of Scotland 3 56). All the places which can be identified lie north of Kirkaldy in Fife. Although the descent to John and Janet is unclear, it is doubtless connected with the death of James Henderson and his son James Henderson at Flodden on 9 September 1513. King James IV had awarded Fordell Castle to James Henderson, naming him ‘First Baron of Fordell’, in 1511. The elder James’s mother was Janet, wife of Robert Henderson, who died in 1486, and it is conceivable that she remarried John Setoun and was alive in 1515.
