It is of particular interest to have the prices realised written in manuscript for each lot. The manuscript inscription to the front blank appears to indicate the volume had passed through the family of Catherine Tylney-Long (1789-1825) who married William Pole-Tylney-Long-Wellesley, 4th Earl of Mornington (1788-1857). Catherine Tylney-Long was known in fashionable London society as "The Wiltshire Heiress", and at the time believed to have been the richest commoner in England having inherited vast estates gathered by the 7th Baronet in Essex, Hampshire and Wiltshire, with financial investments in hand worth £300,000. One of her suitors included the Duke of Clarence, later King William IV who was keen to pay off his great debts, but she married William in 1812. Their marriage was unhappy partly due to William's extravagance and unpleasant manner. William amassed vast debts, but gained an appointment as Gentleman Usher to George IV in 1822 (rendering him immune to arrest for debt) and left Britain to escape his creditors around 1823. As part of Catherine's inheritance, she inherited Wanstead House, Essex, a vast Neo-Palladian style mansion designed by the architect Colen Campbell. To secure a debt of £250,000, William mortgaged their marriage settlement trust, which owned Wanstead House and contents, to his creditors. As a result in June 1822 the trustees auctioned off the house's contents in an auction lasting 32 days to settle some of William's debts. The house failed to be rented out and in 1825 the trustees demolished the house for building materials. Catherine died at age 35 in Richmond, Surrey. William had only a life interest in Catherine's property, he unsuccessfully tried to gain custody of their eldest child William, on whom Catherine's fortune had devolved. In 1828 he married Helena Paterson Bligh (d. 1869) and for a time lived in Brussels to avoid his creditors. Towards the final years of his life, he lived on a small pension of £10 a week (provided by his cousin Arthur Wellesley, 2nd Duke of Wellington). He died of heart disease in 1857 whilst residing in lodgings in London.

Cambridge began to print the Bible in the Geneva version in 1588 under a charter granted by Henry VIII in 1534, the charter was ratified by Charles I in 1628 and this edition if the first production of the new charter. Though the issue was resisted by the King's printers the accuracy of the text gained general support. Lea Wilson (p. 104) says: 'For this beautiful edition the text appears to have undergone a complete revision, although I can find no record of such having been done by authority. Yet the errors in the first and intermediate editions are here corrected, and considerable care appears to have been exercised as to the words printed in italics, punctuation, etc.' This seems to be the earliest edition in which occurs the error: 1 Tim. iv. 16, Take heed unto thyself and unto thy doctrine (for ... the doctrine).

Described by STC as 'an exceptionally difficult work to grasp because of perplexities in the order of its printing'. Halle's "Chronicle" is a mirror of Tudor life. It is the best contemporary chronicle of the reign of Henry VIII, and a panegyric of the House of Tudor, and especially of Henry. Grafton, Holinshed, and Stow borrowed extensively from it, while Shakespeare, in his earlier historical plays, followed Halle closely. In 1555, with Mary Tudor on the throne, Grafton was stripped of his title "printer to the king", and Halle's work was prohibited by proclamation.

An accompanying letter from Harvard (1981) confirms that this did win the Boylston Prize in 1883 and that the author's name was Dr Braidwood and an announcement in The Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 1 (1883), p. 64, confirms it was P. M. Braidwood of Birkenhead, England. The Latin motto used as a pseudonym for the essay, (translating as ‘by sea, by land’), is clearly a pun on his name. In 1892 Peter Murray Braidwood (1842-1905) wrote to the BMJ pointing out that he had exhibited the measles bacillus to the Royal Society and had described the bacillus in detail in the ‘Third Contribution to the Life History of Contagion’ by Braidwood and Francis Vacher (1882). Braidwood had published about measles prior to this Essay and previously won the Astley Cooper prize in 1868 for ‘On pyaemia or suppurative fever’, and the Fothergillian medal in 1877.

Please note that, as the set is largely still in the original mailing boxes, we have only pictured the first volume in the images. Offered as is, not subject to return, must be picked up from our Bronx Warehouse.This is the first complete edition of the engravings made after Sydney Parkinson's drawings, prepared by him before his death from dysentery on Batavia. These were drawn during Captain Cook's First Voyage, during which Joseph Banks collected over 800 specimens of hitherto unknown flora. 743 plates after the drawings by Parkinson and others were engraved under Banks' supervision by 18 engravers over a period of 13 years after the return to England, with manuscript descriptions of the specimens prepared by the great Swedish botanist Daniel Solander. Banks's intention to publish these plates and the accompanying research remained unrealized, and on Banks's death, the plates were bequeathed to the British Museum, where they remain. The complete set was never published in its intended form until the present Alecto Historical Editions publication (though a selection of fifty plates had appeared earlier under the aegis of another publisher). The complete set is published in 35 parts with all plates and accompanying letterpress contained in 35 green cloth-covered Solander boxes with printed labels.
