We are auctioning a signed working manuscript of a Kettle of Fish By Nigel Tranter (With Original Thoughts and Ideas from the author) Nigel Tranter was probably the most prolific Scottish author after Sir Walter Scott. Tranter published over 100 historical novels and many non-fiction books such as The Queen’s Scotland series. Born in Glasgow, he spent much of his life in Aberlady, which he loved.A Kettle of Fish is a fictional story based on the 1857, Tweed Fisheries Act that made it illegal to fish for Salmon in 50 square miles of open sea off the mouth of the River Tweed. A local schoolmaster, Adam Horsburgh, believed the Act should be challenged openly and when he proceeds to act, a full-scale fish war breaks out. This book stands the test of time, it is still on sale 50 years after its first publication and its message echoes in today's politics.

Nichols (J. publisher). Antiquities in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Scotland and Wales. being the Fifth Volume of the Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica,.., 1790, title page detached with old library blind stamp, half-titles throughout, 8 uncoloured engraved plates 6 genealogical tables and 8 uncoloured maps, including G. & W. Patersons "A Survey of Old and New Aberdeen with ye Adjacent Country between ye Rivers Dee and Don..., dated 1746 but most likely a 1790 impression, bookplate of the Free Public Library Wigan, hinges and joints cracked and weak, endpapers detached, near contemporary calf, crude library re-back in cloth with manuscript author's name and the remains of the contemporary morocco label affixed to the spine, scuffed and worn, 4toQty: (1)Footnote: The map of Aberdeen was first published during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 - 46. Aberdeen was held by Lord Lewis Gordon who raised both men and money for the Jacobite cause. The Hanoverian commander sent an army of clansmen to attack Aberdeen and the two armies met at Inverurie - north of Aberdeen - on 23rd December 1745. The Jacobites won the day, the battle taking place just a month before this detailed plan was published. Copac records only two examples of the map of Aberdeen. The British Library's copy is in the King's Topographical Collection, bound with a manuscript version, and The National Library of Scotland's example is bound - as is this example - in volume 5 of the 'Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica'. Other maps contained within this volume include The Isles of Zetland by T. Gifford, and Nichols' Plan of the Stourbridge Fair taken in 1725.

North America. Wyld (James), Map of the Colony of British Columbia and the British & American Territory West of the Rocky Mountains, Including Vancouvers Island and the Gold Fields, September 10th, 1858, lithographic map with contemporary outline colouring, sectionalised and laid on linen, inset maps of the Strait of San Juan de Fuca and of the British Possessions in North America, key plate showing gold and coal deposits, slight dust soiling, 510 x 660 mm, endpaper of an advertisement for Wyld's maps, contemporary cloth boards with publisher's printed label to the upper siding, worn and stained, spine frayed and mostly lacking with a later manuscript title label, cover size 185 x 110 mmQty: (1)Footnote: One of the earliest maps of the Pacific Northwest, published to coincide with the Fraser gold rush. The key plate shows that the primary purpose of the map was to highlight and encourage the prospecting for gold, but it also identifies coal and mineral deposits available in the region. There are three recorded states of the map, all of which are rare. There are very few institutional copies recorded, with Yale, The University of British Columbia, and The Idaho State Archives having a copy of the first state. The British Library has a copy of the second and the John Warkentin Map Collection at York University, Canada has a copy of the third, this is an example of the third state.

Southern England & Wales. Hollar (Wenceslaus), Carte de l'Angleterre et d'une Partie d'Ecosse gravée par le celebre Hollar..., John Garrett, circa 1676, large engraved map with contemporary outline colouring, four conjoined sheets, sectionalised and laid on linen, four separate regional title cartouches, slight staining, the whole edged with green silk, 800 x 1210 mm, contained in a contemporary marbled card slipcase with a manuscript title label to the upper coverQty: (1)Footnote: Shirley, Early Printed Maps of the British Isles, 1477 - 1650, 537. Often called 'The Quartermaster's Map', this appears to be an unrecorded edition, which although published in London, has a French title and description, but retains the individual cartouche titles in English. It comprises four (of the six sheets) but was clearly published in this state as a map of southern England and Wales. The map acquired its moniker owing to its usefulness to 'all Commanders for Quarteringe of Souldiers, & all sorts of Persons, that would be informed, Where the Armies be; never so Commodiously drawne before this.' It was used widely during the English Civil War particularly by the Parliamentarians with whom the original publisher Thomas Jenner's sympathies lay. Jenner was a print and map seller who set up in business at the White Bear in Cornhill about 1618. Until the impending Civil War Jenner was not known for cartographic material. Then in 1643, he published a revised edition of the 'Direction for the English Traviller' whose plates he had acquired from his printer Matthew Simmons. Jenner had timed his move perfectly. The demand for maps to help the large numbers of people moving about the country at the time of the Civil War was on the increase. The market for the little atlas clearly proved so great that he was attracted to do more. He engaged the services of the noted engraver Wenceslaus Hollar to etch a reduction of Christopher Saxton's great wall map of 1583, thereby enabling his customers to have a more detailed and yet still portable map of England and Wales.

Hallywell (Henry). Melampronoea: or a discourse of the polity and kingdom of darkness. Together with a solution for the chiefest objections brought against the being of witches, 1st edition, London: Walter Kettilby, 1681, [16], 118, [2] p. (signatures A-H? I?), final blank leaf present (I?), closed tear at foot of A2, some browning and dust-soiling mostly to initial few leaves and leaves towards rear of volume, contemporary speckled sheep, joints cracked, spine and extremities worn, small 8voQty: (1)Footnote: ESTC R9358; Wing H464. Hallywell attempts to prove the existence of witchcraft and mentions his opinion in the introduction "this age hath produced too many over-confident exploders of immaterial substances; and he that shall talk of the existence of devils and evil spirits, their possessions of the bodies of men, of ghosts and apparitions, and the feats and practices of witches, shall be confuted with a loud laughter or a supercilious look, as if these things were only the delusions of a distempered imagination, and owed all their being and reality to the dreams and fancies of melancholick persons". Henry Hallywell (1641–1703) was a minor Cambridge Platonist who was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, while Ralph Cudworth was master, and Henry More was a fellow. Hallywell's tutor was George Rust, and he was responsible for preserving and publishing several of Rust's discourses. Hallywell was later associated with Benjamin Whichcote's centre of liberal preaching at St Lawrence Jewry in the City of London. All of Hallywell's writings show the influence of these Cambridge Platonist authors. He accepted Cambridge Platonist ideas on the immortality of the soul, the deiform life, enthusiasm and atheism, the paranormal, millenarianism and the public and private usefulness of rational religion. His special contribution to Cambridge Platonism was his simplified presentation of the circle's main theological themes in his pastoral role as a parish priest. This introduction to Hallywell's published and manuscript writings complements the author's account of his career as a Sussex clergyman, which is published elsewhere.

° An early 15th century German manuscript volume of Lenten sermons, c1400.The volume consists of 134 foliated and three unfoliated paper leaves, 29 x 20cms. in a parchment binding, from which five metal bosses have been removed [1]. The text is written in two columns, and the four columns visible at each opening are identified with the lower-case letters a, b, c and d [2]. With the exception of folio 134, the text is rubricated, a process largely confined to initial capitals, biblical sources and the days of the week on which each sermon is to be delivered [3].The watermark of an ox’s head surmounted by a flower [4] resembles Briquet 14743 [5, 6, 7], an example of which has been identified from a manuscript at Würzburg dated 1403.[1]The contents are as follows:Folios1-30 Lenten sermons, signed Explicit per manus Heynrici Kothewicz Anno Domini Mo CCCCo primo 3a post Martini – completed by the hand of Heinrich Kothewicz in the year 1401 on the third [?Sunday] after St Martin [27 Nov 1401] [8].31 blank32-115 Lenten sermons116-133 Lenten sermons of Jacobus de Varagine, marked incomplete134 (reversed) single leaf identified as de Sancto Vitounfoliated index, dated Anno Domini 1481 [9]The sequence of the volume’s creation begins with three unbound and unfoliated groups of sermons, represented by folios 1-133 and written within a decade of the element dated to 1401. In 1481, to enable the compilation of the index, foliation in Arabic numerals was applied to the recto of each leaf and the letters a, b, c and d to each column. It was probably at that date that the paper gatherings were bound into covers formed from wooden boards with a parchment cover. Folio 134 [10], which was mistakenly bound in reverse, probably dates from the time of the binding.The hand which added the folio numbers and the letters to each column inscribed column b of the opening folio liber sancti Petri in Erfordia C.l4 – the book of St Peter in Erfurt [number] 154 [11]At the same time the lower margin of the same folio was annotated Tria opera quadragesimalia quartum vero incompletum – three Lenten works, a fourth however incomplete [12]In the binding process two fragments of text were inserted as packing:1.letter reciting a letter of John [von Fleckenstein], bishop of Worms, to his official concerning a dispute with the dean and chapter of the monastery of St Cyriac at Neuhausen, which can be dated to his episcopate of 1410-1426 [13]2 Nine lines of rhyming couplets on the theme of hunting, probably a Minnesang Lied (German courtly love poem) [14]In the 19th century the left margin of the opening leaf was annotated in pencil 55m and 145, the significance of which is unclear, and the lower margin 133, representing the number of folios [2]In the 20th century the top-left corner of the opening leaf was annotated in pencil 1481 (the date of the index) and XI.bb (probably a shelf-mark).[1] CM Briquet, Les filigranes, dictionnaire historique des marques du papier dès leur apparition vers 1282 jusqu’en 1600; Amsterdam, The Paper Publication Society (Labarre Foundation), 1968.Remains of the Benedictine monastery dedicated to St Peter on the Petersberg, outside Erfurt in Thuringia are still extant.During the Thirty Years’ War Erfurt was occupied from 1631 by the troops of Gustav II Adolf of Sweden. The following year the monastery was dissolved, and briefly converted into a protestant monastery in 1633. The buildings were converted to secular use in 1803. Further damage took place in 1813 and 1814 and from 1820 the church was used as a store for flour and military provisions.Although nothing is known about the provenance of this manuscript, it seems likely that it left the monastery during one of these episodes of military activity.Gorringe’s would like to thank Christopher Whittick, former County Archivist for East Sussex, Drs Susanne Brand and Jens Röhrkasten, Professor of Medieval History in the Department of History at the University of Birmingham, for their assistance in the preparation of this report.
