Upcott 1. p. 246. The rare first edition: many copies were lost in a fire at the printer’s house in Whitefriars on January 30th 1712. Upcott notes that a similar fate befell copies of the second edition. Sir Robert Atkyns, MP and topographer was somewhat overshadowed by his father, who as chief baron of the exchequer was speaker of the House of Lords between 1689 and 1693. Atkyns refused to take the oath of allegiance to William III and retired to Pinbury Park in Gloucestershire. The first of the three major Gloucestershire antiquaries, the other two being Ralph Bigland (1712-1784) and Samuel Rudder (1726-1801), Atkyns collected material for parish histories in an attempt to record the population of each parish, based on the number of houses therein and the yearly birth and burial numbers. Pinbury Park, a medieval manor house, was later remodelled and renovated by Ernest Gimson and Ernest and Sidney Barnsley who lived there from 1894-1901. (1)
John Shinnors (b.1950) THE SPEAKER pastel signed and titled on original label on reverse 9.5 by 7.75in., 24.13 by 19.685cm. The Collection of Jim O`Driscoll SC Jim O`Driscoll was a renowned barrister by profession but also a passionate patron of the arts with a keen eye for beauty. Director of the Fenton Gallery in Cork for ten years, he built lasting ties with the arts community buying regularly from galleries throughout Ireland as well as from artists directly. His strong connections with Cork in particular are reflected in both his subject choice and his support for its native artists, among them, Maurice Desmond. He was an early supporter and friend of Tony O`Malley and the late William Crozier and their paintings within his collection are testament to his access to the very best from their respective oeuvres. All the masters in Irish art from the eighties and nineties are well represented in his collection, although some, for example those by Evie Hone and Gerard Dillon, come from an earlier generation. "

Hunter (John, 1728-1793). Lecture Notes on Physiology & Surgery by John Hunter FRS, Taken by C.V. Webb, 1789, 2 volumes, contemporary original manuscript in a neat legible hand, 126 and 108 numbered leaves, the final leaf of the first volume misordered to be four leaves earlier by the author, both volumes broken on spine, spines and contents becoming loose, contemporary calf, covers detached and backstrips deficient, 8vo (230 x 150mm). Hunter’s ‘Lectures delivered in the early years at various venues, on the theory and practice of surgery, beginning in 1772, were works in progress, not infrequently changing viewpoints and correcting data from year to year. Unlike the shorter lecture series of his medical colleagues, Hunter’s more serious lectures were ambitious, consisting of eighty-six one-hour evening lectures three times a week from October to April. To these lectures he devoted a great deal of time and energy since they were designed to teach students not only the elements of their art but also the methods and results of the science from which it must proceed. He was not, however, a successful lecturer. Too uncomfortable as a public speaker and too much interested in detail, however animated he might be in informal conversation, his delivery, read nervously from his detailed notes and text, made him a dull lecturer. Few auditors began the course and fewer stayed on to the end. His metier as a teacher was to establish a working relationship with the student, to teach him through experience rather than by written word’ (DNB). The opening introduction as transcribed by Webb neatly gives a picture of Hunter as lecturer: ‘It is usual at the beginning of every course of lectures to give an introductory one as it is termed & and this is frequently with a view to display the oratory of the lecturer: but this is not my plan; as I do not give lectures to make myself known, I shall confine myself wholly to the subjects which are of the most importance to the practical surgeon. Most of the ideas are my own, not borrowed from books; and as they are founded on facts, I have reason to think them just, every art among mankind has its principles, from which we are enabled to account for old facts, establish new ones, the same holds good in surgery. I shall first consider the animal oeconomy. I mention chiefly the actions of the body in a morbid state, with their recovery and natural functions in health. I shall not give a full course of practical surgery, but principally attend to the rationale of practice. It would therefore be unnecessary to treat of the operations in every particular disease, this being shewn by anatomists who profess it’, p 1. (2)
