Vanderkemp and Philip, and other pioneer missionaries who predated Mr. Moffat. The volume gives a valuable account of mission work among the Bechuanas, with notes on the customs of the natives, and a description of the earlier travels of the author. There are some particulars concerning Dr Andrew Smith`s expedition into the interior in 1835, and there is an ample account of the labours of the various missionary societies engaged amongst the Bechuanas, Matabeles, Basutos and other races at this period`. The coloured frontispiece of the Kuruman Station is one of very few illustrations printed by the Baxter process in books of African interest. This plate was also sold separately as a print to raise funds for the work of the mission. Fair London John Snow 1842 Reserve: $100 Click here to view further details and to bid

John Fairbairn Autograph letters signed, 8 items. various letter formats Autograph letters in his own hand and signed, to Benjamin Moodie in Swellendam. John Fairbairn emigrated to South Africa, following his friend Thomas Pringle to the Cape, in 1823. He is remembered today as the father of press freedom in South Africa as well as an educationalist and the founder and first Chairman of the Old Mutual (certain of their premium investments carry his name under the Fairbairn Trust). This collection of letters from his early years at the Cape to his friend Benjamin Moodie then living in Swellendam reflect early concerns with a free press, slavery, the strife with the autocratic Sir Charles Somerset, then governor of the Cape, and the problems of the Settlers. The letters are the originals as written in his own hand and were folded, sealed, and posted. The results of this are clearly visible. A few of the letters are extant as typed copies, probably copied from his own fair copy or letterbook. Some may be the only copies. These items are unique in the true sense of the word. 1. Letter postmarked June 10 1825. 3 sides of writing. Personal health & finance issues, a memorial concerning slavery at the Cape, fixing the rate of the Rixdollar & a petition in the Burgher Senate re same, handling of complaints from the Colony, financial issues & proposed new bank, state of alarm as 50,000 threaten the Frontier, request for articles, comments on various administrative figures, etc. Condition: complete with no major loss. several small holes at folds passing through front to back. Does not impair legibility. 2. Letter postmarked August 26 1825. 3 sides of writing. Problems arising with Greigs type which had been sold to Bridekirk rendering him unable to print and publish, further issues with the legality of printing the paper under the partisan handling of the issue by Lord Charles Somerset`s administration, plans to bring the arbitrary local government to the attention of Parliament in London, to have Lord Charles Somerset impeached or recalled, etc. Condition: bottom edges frittered but not seriously affecting legibility. side 3 has some loss. a 100mm x 30mm loss to text written on outer edge, a hole (the size of a South African R2.00 coin, or a nickel) in the middle of the text, and a comparable area at the bottom edge. 3. Letter postmarked September 9 1825. 2 sides of writing. A list of 27 suggested articles, comments upon the Commissioners, Lord Charles Somerset, Greig`s types. Condition: minor loss to side 3 not affecting any text. 4. Letter dated March 9 1826 (postmark not visible). 3 sides of writing. `Open war` on Greig, Atherstone on confidential footing (with Lord C?), Richard Bourke advises Greig to abide by his prospectus and eschew further open hostility to Somerset, no one will sign address to Lord Charles Somerset who leaves the colony - leaving his children behind to the disgust of the ladies. Condition: 4 areas of small loss to edges and one small hole. the letter fold is torn to about 1/3 of the height from the top. some text is missing but the letter loses little legibility. 5. Letter dated 24 March 1826. (postmark not visible) 3 sides of writing. Issues concerning local banking, comments on Lord Charles Somerset, Pringle to leave in the Lucia, new family [Bourke?] religious and ban Sunday music & dancing, Fairbairn in low spirits, restrictions on internal trade. Condition: Two areas of loss to side 3, a 30mm hole in the middle and a similar area at the edge. the former gives text loss, but the latter does not. 6.Letter dated October 5 1826. (postmark not visible). 3 sides of writing. Stamp to be levied on all newspapers, Stellenbosch recusants threatened with transportation, events onboard the Atlas between Brink & Shaw reported in the British press, letter from depressed Pringle in UK, complaints on the low literary level of current British writings, general dismay at state of world affairs. Condition: minor tear on edge of side 1 not affecting legibility, small loss (the size of a South African R2.00 coin, or a nickel) to the edge of side 3 not seriously affecting legibility. 7. Letter dated September 30 1828. 1 written side of 3. Complaint that the Commissioners failed to institute an enquiry into the conduct of Lord Charles Somerset, ideas of literary property, proposed new periodical. Condition: one small hole in front not affecting legibility. major loss to side 3 but there is no text to be affected there. 8. Letter dated Saturday morning, Grahamstown. 4 sides, incomplete. Not addressed to any one, nor signed, but likely his friend Moodie as usual. This does seem to be in the style of Fairbairn. Probably written at some date before the departure of Lord Charles Somerset, so maybe 1826. At the time of writing he was in the Eastern Cape. Condition: excellent, no loss or damage.

Van der Linden, Johannes Regtsgeleerd, Practicaal en Koopmans Handboek ([1806]) 210 x 140 Although we have not traced any other copies of this now rare early 19th century Roman-Dutch law treatise, `print on demand` copies of a similar title, by `Joannes` van der Linden and Johannes Allart, are listed on the AbeBooks website. From the signature on the half-title page and the initials on the top page edge, this copy is likely to have been in the ownership of the J E R de Villiers who was a former judge-president of the Orange Free State and an Acting Appeal Court judge, and who referred to it in some of his judgments. The title-page has been lost and, with it, the name of the publisher, but this copy seems to have been published in Amsterdam in 1806. Johannes van der Linden’s “Regtsgeleerd, Practicaal en Koopmans Handboek” is referred to in R W Lee’s “Introduction to Roman-Dutch Law” (Oxford, 1931) as both one of the last authorities on “the old [Roman-Dutch] law” and the earliest on “the new law”. When this copy was found, in an auction job-lot, the covers were badly damaged, but the contents were sufficiently valuable to justify rebinding. This has been done in brown goatskin with an abbreviation of the title gilt lettered on a spine panel, new red-and-green head and tail bands, new endpapers and a new marker ribbon. The contents of lxxiv + 588 pp include an introduction, text divided into four books, and an index. The introduction includes a 30 pp annotated bibliography of Roman and Roman-Dutch law, including three of Van der Linden’s other titles, published in Leiden between 1794 and 1803. In addition to the missing title-page, part of the half-title and half of the last leaf of the index have been lost and a small section of pp 101/102 has been cut out. There are a few brief marginal notes in ink, probably by the same previous owner. There are brown stains not affecting the text on some twenty early leaves, but the pages are not foxed and the text is otherwise bright and undiscoloured. Already intrinsically rare, this book is unique in its present form. Good [Amsterdam] Unknown [1806] Reserve: $150 Click here to view further details and to bid

Frontispiece of Thomas Bewick by Sir John Everett Millais. Illustrated with 18 full page plates, and 38 in text by the author (listed). John Guille `Johnny` Millais (24 March 1865 – 24 March 1931), was the fourth son and seventh child of Sir John Everett Millais, the Pre-Raphaelite painter. He was a British artist, naturalist, gardener and travel writer who specialised in wildlife and flower portraiture. He travelled extensively around the world in the late Victorian period detailing wildlife often for the first time. He is noted for illustrations that are of a particularly exact nature. In 1903 Millais co-founded the Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire (SPWFE). Clearly a clubbable and convivial man, in 1909 Millais was a founder member of the Shikar Club, a sportsclub where like-minded associates could dine and discuss their passion for hunting especially big game hunting. Millais was passionate about hunting and fellow members included the famous hunters Frederick Selous (the brother of ornithologist Edmund Selous), African game hunter Arthur Henry Neumann, and explorer and hunter Frank Wallace. The club still survives and includes the Duke of Edinburgh amongst its members. Millais is one of the most respected of British ornithologists and bird artists, producing between 1890 and 1914 a series of books on birds and other natural history subjects. In the study of ornithology he was renowned for his portraiture of wildfowl and game birds. Condition: Lacks spine (clean edges with no fraying). Boards gently faded and or darkened. Text block firm, print bright, plates unaged. Age toning to endpapers. Previous owner`s name to fep. Book protected by cellophane wrap.
