The Poems of Charlotte, Emily and Anne were published in May 1846, followed by Charlotte's Jane Eyre in October the following year, and Emily's Wuthering Heights in a set with Anne's Agnes Grey in December.

The presence of numerous Earnshaws attests to real-life influences on the imagined world of Wuthering Heights, and the mill-owning Greenwood family, well known to the Brontës, are prominent throughout. Provenance: originally in the archives of Keighley town hall; the archives set for disposal c.1973 prior to the borough's amalgamation into Bradford metropolitan council; the manuscript rescued by a member of the Borough Treasurer's team and given to the current vendor (an employee).

Thomas Cony; inventories of his household-goods and plate at Bassingthorpe; his profits and losses in trade, etc. and the amount of his income and expences for fifty-four years ... He was the son of Richard Cony of Bassingthorpe, Esq. merchant of the Staple of Calais, who died in 1545, from whom he inherited a considerable property ... He was taken prisoner at Calais in 1558, when that town was surrendered to the Duke of Guise, and conveyed captive to Boulogne, where, after two months severe confinement, he was ransomed at the price of 374l ... In 1573 he was high sheriff of Rutland ... He much increased his estate, as appears by a rental of it in 1577 ... [His] line of trade, by which this great fortune was raised, was extremely lucrative. The merchants of the Staple had almost a monopoly of all wools exported; nor were the merchant adventurers [of whom Cony was also a member], who trade likewise in wools, a company less respectable' (Turnor, pp. 22-3). Provenance: 1) Sir Edmund Turnor (1619-1707) of Stoke Rochford, with his engraved bookplate and dated 1702 and a note by his descendant Edmund Turnor (1754-1829) in his manuscript introduction, reading: 'This book was amongst the writings relating to the Manor of North Stoke purchased of William Cony Esq. by Sir Edmund Turnor Knt 1671'). 2) Edmund Turnor (1754-1829) of Stoke Rochford, landowner and antiquary. 3) Thence by descent.Front joint is cracked and very tender.

The cause of death is recorded as 'antimonial poisoning; poison administered by Geo. Chapman', and the accompanying report is one of, if not the most extensive in either volume. There are numerous other records of poisoning across both volumes, the means being hydrochloric acid, arsenic, cyanide, coalgas, oxalic acid, lead, and even milk. Freyberger, a physician of Austrian origin, was appointed pathologist to the coroner for the London South Western District, Dr John Troutbeck, in 1902; the choice provoked a long-running controversy within the London medical establishment, who viewed it 'as a sinister assault on the medical profession … and English liberties writ large' (Burney, Bodies of Evidence: Medicine and the Politics of the English Inquest, 1830-1926, p. 125).

Watts (George Frederic, 1817-1904). Memorial volume produced by Christopher Hatton Turner (1873-1940), architect of the Watts Gallery, c.1904. Folio (400 x 270 mm), finely bound by the Guild of Handicraft in green sheep (with their stamp gilt to rear turn-in), pewter panel mounted to front cover with elaborate repoussé decoration comprising outer frame with foliate cornerpieces around central laurel wreath enclosing lettering '1817 Watts 1904', numerous red and orange glass cabochons inset, 100 heavy blue-green wove paper leaves, with various material mounted to rectos and versos including 5 photographs of the interior of the Watts Gallery and 4 portrait photographs of G. F. Watts (probably platinum prints), one of the portraits signed by Watts in black ink ('G. F. Watts, 1902'), another (depicting Watts at work on his statue of Tennyson) annotated on mount 'September 1903, C Turnor phot.', 18 numbered leaves of manuscript notes by Turnor (beginning 'The following imperfect notes of conversations I had with Mr Watts, from 1902 when I first had the privilege of meeting him to 1904 ...'), and about 50 prints of paintings by Watts (mixed media), many leaves left blank, spine slightly sunned, rubbing and some stripping to spine-bands, joints and board-edges (qty: 1) Christopher Hatton Turnor (1873-1940) was a relatively inexperienced young architect living near Compton with his parents when he was selected by Watts to design what became the Watts Gallery; the choice was evidently informed by the artist's Arts and Crafts ethos of working with local craftsmen and designers. Turnor's design was inspired by Voysey and Lutyens, and Watts lived just long enough to see the finished product, dying on 1 July 1904 three months after its completion. Turnor had unexpectedly succeeded to the family estate at Stoke Rochford, Lincolnshire, in 1903, and went on to become an ardent campaigner for rural reform. 'Unlike many of his contemporaries Turnor was not prepared simply to enjoy the social amenities of his new position or to accept the prevailing view that there was little future for British agriculture. Instead, committed to the belief that land ownership was a trust, he helped to pioneer a new and more dynamic approach to estate management' (ODNB).

Campbell (Barbara Mary, 'Cam', 1913-1984). Collection of original artwork, c.1945-50. Comprising 33 watercolours (nearly all with strong outlining in pen and ink, a few with pencil only), of which 26 mounted and 7 mounted, framed and glazed, various dimensions, portrait and landscape, mainly 245 x 180 mm or 165 x 270 mm and similar, together with a related 'Cam' exhibition catalogue (20 leaves, each separately laminated, bound in original black plastic folder with title 'Written and Drawn by Cam, Barbara Campbell, 1913-84' to front, priced descriptions, illustrated with mounted colour reproductions throughout), together with 3 manuscript drafts for the short story 'Tuppence & Co', presumably in Campbell's holograph (9, 8 and 7 pp.), many of the mounted pictures in clear plastic bags with priced exhibition labels (qty: a carton) A delightful archive of original illustrations by a highly competent postwar children's author, replete with anthropomorphic frogs, rabbits and monkeys, and a gang of mischievous King Charles spaniels (the latter from the author's work Tuppence & Co., which appears to be unpublished). 'Barbara Mary Campbell spent her childhood in London and Jersey. She studied at Clapham School of Art, St Martin's School of Art, and [the] Central School of Arts and Crafts. Her first book, Barbara Lamb, about a lamb who [becomes] an opera singer, was written and drawn as a diversion ... while in the Land Army ... John Lane The Bodley Head commissioned her to write six more: Buttercup Fairy (1945), Margaret Field-mouse (1946), Timothy Tabbycat (1947), Belinda Bear (1948), Bill Frog (1950), and Bill Frog to the Rescue (1951). Then, published by Collins, came: Three Jolly Fishermen (1952), Three Jolly Clowns (1952), and Three Jolly Mountaineers (1954), the adventures of three cats' (introduction to the exhibition catalogue, included with the lot).

Lewis (C. S., 1898-1963; his copy). Heimskringla, or the Lives of the Norse Kings, by Snorri Sturlason. Edited with notes by Erling Monsen, and translated into English with the assistance of A. H. Smith, Cambridge: W. Heffer & Sons Ltd, 1932. 8vo, original blue cloth, 8 plates, 4 folding maps, errata slip, front inner hinge cracked but firm, light spotting to top edges of folding maps and adjacent text-leaves, with a manuscript note on a slip of Exeter College, Oxford stationery (the note reading 'Thank you so much for a noble evening from you and Fox [...]', in an unidentified hand) and a W. Heffer & Sons catalogue subscription form, both laid in (qty: 1) C. S. Lewis's copy, with his detailed autograph annotations to the rear blank (recto and verso; 83 lines in total, the noted passages been marked in pencil in the margins), his ownership inscription 'C. S. Lewis' to the front free endpaper, and a laid-in sheet of manuscript poetry in pencil, very likely in Lewis's hand and containing two stanzas in iambic tetrameter (respectively commencing 'Thrice fortunate that man w[oul]d be / For whom so high a destiny / Was written [...]' and 'Now, as she ran, she saw her shadow /Darken before her in the meadow') together with another version of the second stanza below. A hugely evocative literary artefact and a fascinating insight into C. S. Lewis's meticulous reading habits; in his spiritual autobiography Surprised By Joy (1955) Lewis attached great significance to the 'imaginative Renaissance' which sprung from his first encounter with Norse mythology as a young schoolboy. Provenance: Laurence Harwood OBE (1933-2020), regional director, National Trust, and godson of C. S. Lewis. Laurence's father (Albert) Cecil Harwood (1898-1975) met Lewis at Oxford in Hilary term of 1919. The two became lifelong friends, and while Cecil is not typically reckoned among the usual roll-call of Inklings members, he remained very much part of Lewis's circle, and with his wife Daphne was the joint dedicatee of his 1947 work, Miracles. Cecil is perhaps best remembered as a leading advocate of anthroposophy and the Steiner-Waldorf teaching method; Laurence has been noted as 'one of the few remaining people who really knew C. S. Lewis' (Deborah Higgens, 'A Personal Tribute to Laurence Harwood, OBE', C. S. Lewis Foundation official blog, 14 December 2020, accessed 24 May 2021). Further reading: Laurence Harwood, C. S. Lewis, My Godfather: Letters, Photos, and Recollections (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Books, 2007).

Wilson', together with 2 further manuscript notes in an envelope marked 'History of the Portrait'Qty: (1)NOTESThe additional manuscript notes accompanying the portrait, one in the hand of the sitter's grandchild, give some details of provenance and state that in 1830 Eliza Read married William Wilson (1800-1866), a cotton manufacturer from Radford, Nottingham. Eliza's father, Joseph Read, owned The Sheffield Smelting Company, founded by his ancestors in 1760. In the 1830s, Joseph found himself in great financial difficulties, largely because of his involvement with the failed Smith's Ironworks in Derbyshire. By 1834, his health failing, he turned for help to his son-in-law. William was reluctant to take on the business, so when Joseph died in 1837, his brother, John Read, undertook the responsibility of saving the company from bankruptcy, acting as manager for 9 years. However, in 1846, the threat of bankruptcy loomed again and this time William Wilson agreed to buy the business. The company was gradually turned around, and the business continued to prosper under the management of Eliza and William's two sons. It is still trading from Royd Mills in Sheffield today, as Thessco, part of the Solpro Group.

A leading member of the Birmingham Group of Artists, Meteyard studied under Edward Taylor at the Birmingham School of Art, and contributed illustrations to A Book of Pictured Carols (1893) and The Quest (1894-96). Generally influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites, and especially Edward Burne-Jones, although the latter's influence on Meteyard perhaps resides more in the choice of subject than in its execution. Burne-Jones became president of the Royal Birmingham School of Art in 1885, and was also a native of Birmingham. Literature: The Last Romantics, Barbican Art Gallery, 1989.
