Three charters most probably from the archive of the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds, in Latin, Middle English and Tudor English, manuscript documents on parchment[England (probably Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk), dated 20 August 1473, 12 March 1478 and 12 October 1538] Three documents: (a) charter of Robert Boteyn and William Clerk (also known as William Wolleman of Bury St. Edmunds) in confirmation of the tenure of Robert Burgeys and others, of property in Brockley, Suffolk, in 20 long lines, calligraphic penwork initial, two seal tags and one seal present (oval red wax, with head), 170+20 by 330mm., dated 20 August 1473; (b) charter of Robert Burgess of Bury St Edmunds, Henry Richard, Laurence Smyth (a "mercer"), John Salter (a "barbour") and John Mey, for Walter Thurston (a "mercer"), John Helpston (a "grocer"), and John Berywey(a "goldsmith"), for a property in Brockley, the document in Latin, with some of the names of the persons here followed by their profession in Middle English, on 26 long lines, single calligraphic initial, five seal tags and all but one with red wax seals attached (with letters 'L', a crowned 'R' and a rose), 220+20 by 340mm., dated 12 March 1478; (c) large indenture between John Reeve of Melford, the last abbot of Bury St. Edmunds before the Reformation, and John Hamond of Watlesfeld, Suffolk, and other parties, concerning land at Watlesfeld, in Tudor English, on 50 long lines, crucial words in larger script, indentured at head, endorsements on reverse including an antiquarian one dated 16 September 1615 referring to the contents of "this old leafe" and noting that it "ought ... to be carefully garded because (if I be not mistaken) the legall things ... excepted by yt Abott" (that is, the priviledges and freedoms therein for the estate might be unique and this document should be carefully protected), seal tag but no seal present, 430+30 by 500mm., dated 12 October 1538; all with folds and small stains, else good condition, all laid down on cards The Abbey of Bury St Edmunds was founded in the early tenth century as a burial site for St. Edmund the martyr, killed by the great Viking army of 869. His cult drew vast numbers of pilgrims and patronage, and the abbey grew to have extraordinarily large land-holdings, directly owning all of West Suffolk by 1327. By the end of the Middle Ages it was among the wealthiest monasteries in England. It was surrended by Abbot John Reeve of Melford to the royal commissioners on 4 November 1539, with Reeve taking a pension alongside the prior and forty-two monks. He died the following year. This small archive would appear to have passed after the Reformation into private hands, where these perhaps remained, passing mainly by descent, until they entered the collection of E.H. Dring (1863-1928), and his son E.M. Dring (1906-1990), and from them to the Schøyen Collection via the London book-dealership Quaritch.

Most probably forming the private secular archive of Patrick Murray (1535-1590) of Newraw and Woodend, both in the parish of Madderty, Perthshire. His great-grandfather had been knighted at the coronation of James I in 1424, and the Murrays held sway over large parts of Perthshire until the seventeenth century, when they took on the title of Baron Strange in 1627 and then Earl Strange from 1786. The Augustinian Abbey of St. Mary and St. John, Inchaffray, was founded as a priory on a site midway between Perth and Crieff in Strathearn, by the Earl of Stratthearn and his wife c. 1200. It was under the rule of the Augustinians of Scone Abbey. Under Strathearn and royal patronage it grew wealthy, and during an assessment in 1275 to fund a crusade, it ranked fourth among the Scottish Augustinian houses, after only St Andrews, Scone and Holyrood. Its abbot carried the relics of St. Fillan ahead of the Scottish army to Bannockburn in 1314. However, in the fourteenth or fifteenth century its fortunes declined and in 1556 it was converted without much objection to a secular lordship for the Drummond family, and then the earls of Kinnoull (who still own both surviving chartularies of the community). What remained of the abbey was cleared during the creation of a road in 1816, and all that now remains is a mound and some small walls. 2. Alan Rankin, Edinburgh bookseller.3. Schøyen Collection of London and Oslo, their MS. 1690/1-5, acquired from Rankin in July 1993. Text:Medieval Scottish manuscripts and records are of some rarity on the market, and those that have survived outside of religious institutions are exceptionally so. As W.A. Lindsey, J. Dowden and J.M. Thomson explain in the introduction to Charters, bulls and other documents relating to the abbey of Inchaffray, chiefly from the originals in the charter chest of the Earl of Kinnoull (1908, p. v), the Inchaffray cartulary held by the Earl of Kinnoull was published in 1847, followed in 1908 by the publication of some boxes of charters from the Kinnoull archive relating to the abbey, many of which were not represented in the cartulary. Likewise, all of the documents here are completely unknown and unstudied.

Secret Orders Issued To Military Officers - known as ''The Castle Document'', leaflet 7 1/2" x 5", one side only, April 1916 ''The following precautionary measures have been sanctioned by the Irish Office on the recommendation of the General Officer Commanding the Forces in Ireland ... .'' - As circulated by P.J. Little, ed. New Ireland office 13 Fleet Street, Dublin, 15 April, 1916. An article published in An t-?glac -The Irish Volunteer) on 8 April 1916 called for Volunteer manoeuvres on Easter Sunday 23 April 1916. On Wednesday,15 April 1916, the IRB forged a notice supposedly decoded from a communication emanating from Dublin Castle. It was printed on a hand press by Joseph Plunkett and Rory O'Connor at Larkfield House, Plunkett's home off the Lower Kimmage Road. It excluded punctuation marks and capitalisation due to the poor supply of printing font available to them. Known as the 'Castle Document', apparently ordering the execution of Eoin Mac Neil, arrest of Volunteer leaders and occupation of Dublin by the British Army, it was shown to MacNeill. He was then easily persuaded to give an order to the Irish Volunteers 'to resist any British action.' This was the order that the IRB needed to go ahead with the Rising. On 19 April 1916 Alderman Tom Kelly read the ''Castle Order'' to a meeting of Dublin Corporation. The Nationalist weekly paper, New Ireland, edited by Patrick J. Little (1884-1963), published the text of the document, a single sheet handbill entitled ''Secret Orders issued to Military Officers'' in its issue for Saturday 22 April 1916 (vol. II no. 49), just two days before the Easter Rising began. However MacNeill discovered, sometime around 20 April that the 'Castle Document' was a fake. He put an advertisement in the Irish Independent newspaper which told all volunteers that 'No parades, marches or other movements of the Volunteers will take place.' This cancellation caused the IRB to move back the rebellion one day to Easter Monday - 24 April, 1916. Many rural Volunteers, who had come to town on Sunday only to hear the rebellion was cancelled, returned home. Although all the Rising's leaders now realised that they were doomed, they still went ahead with the plans for rebellion. There are only one or two recorded copies of this important document in public records. Very few can have survived as the printing would appear to have been small and the method of distribution via newspapers aborted. None of the textbook histories actually quote from it but rather paraphrase its content.. In terms of this identification, the only full printing of this was in the last issue of New Ireland before its suppression just prior to the Rising. The only reproduction of the handbill accompanied the Irish Press article of January 4 1937 by Hanna Sheehy Skeffington. Colm ? Lochlainn gave it an incorrect caption title in his short piece on Joseph Mary Plunkett as a printer, published in The Irish Book Lover for March 1954. Charles Townshend wrote in Easter 1916: The Irish Rebellion: ''There had been a scare from a leaked Dublin Castle document apparently planning for repressive measures to be taken in the event of introducing conscription. This led to the ramping up of tension and expectation, and seemed to offer an excuse to start the rebellion on Easter Sunday. Eoin MacNeill, of course, countermanded the orders; but as things turned out, he was not fully in control, and the rebellion went ahead, though on a smaller scale, on Easter Monday instead.'' A little browned, but a good copy of a Scarce and Vulnerable Item. (1)

The Republican Poetess Cavanagh MacDowell (Maeve) A folder containing a large collection of her original poetry, many signed, probably intended for a collected edition, with about 75 pages typescript (some duplication), including a poem in memory of Hermann Goertz, and about 15 items in manuscript, some signed, many with corrections, also a typescript list of her works and some other items. * The folder also includes a sheet in Cavanagh's hand headed 'The night before 1916 in Liberty Hall', giving an important eyewitness account of the scene in Liberty Hall as Connolly tried to reassure Citizen Army members that the planned Rising had only been postponed. 'I remember how indignantly they exclaimed "Ah they'll never do anything". But Connolly soothed them down and told us all things would go on and it would be only a part postponement. He then showed us along the passages & into one of the rooms, the girls were still venting their disappointment. Dr. Lynn was there - Helena Molony & Mary Perotz ..' [See R.M. Fox's chapter on Cavanagh in his 'Rebel Irishwomen', elsewhere in this sale, where some of this account is confirmed]. The folder also contains an incomplete letter in an unknown hand, apparently referring to an occasion when Mary MacSwiney prevented a letter from [Michael] Collins being given to [her brother] Terry, then towards the end of his hunger strike. [It has been reported elsewhere that Collins urged MacSwiney to call off his strike]. There is also a letter or draft letter in Cavanagh's hand to a newspaper about cock-fighting, and a few childish letters addressed to 'Dear Nan'. The poetry is of mixed quality. Cavanagh was not a major poet, but she was not without talent, and the best items in this collection are certainly worth preserving. Maeve Cavanagh was an early member of the Gaelic League in Dublin; later she moved to Sligo and Derry. She began writing verses for 'The Peasant', edited by W.P. Ryan, and wrote for various Republican and left-wing papers after her return to Dublin around 1910. She was often in Liberty Hall, and on Easter Monday morning, 1916, she was sent to Waterford with James Connolly's message, 'We fight at noon'. By the time she was able to return to Dublin, it was all over. Her brother, Ernest Cavanagh, drew cartoons for 'The Irish Worker', for which Maeve wrote the captions. He was shot dead by a British soldier while standing unarmed on the steps of Liberty Hall on Easter Tuesday 1916. As a collection, w.a.f. (1) Provenance: From the Family of Austin Stack.

'The loosed khaki cut-throats' [Henderson (William A.)] Sometime Business Manager, Abbey Theatre. A folder of letters and research materials, apparently assembled by a retired teacher, Leslie Matson, possibly with a view to a biography. Henderson was Hon. Sec. to the National Literary Society for 15 years, and in 1907 was appointed Business Manager at the Abbey. Includes a most interesting ALS from Henderson to 'Father George' (George Gladstone, husband of Henderson's sister Grace, who had recently given birth to a child) from Birmingham, 26.5.07, mentioning Yeats and Lady Gregory and discussing the Abbey's English tour on which he was engaged. 'They shirked the Playboy here, after advertising, posting and paragraphing all over the place, the Directors stopped it. The License to produce it came here, and I have it. There was only one line objected to in it, and I was simply amazed. The Censor ordered this to be cut out. 'I wouldn't be fearing the loosed khaki cut throats' and any other allusions derogatory to the Army. Keep this to yourself.' Includes other letters of mainly family interest, a copy of the programme for a 'complimentary performance' for Henderson at the Abbey, 4 September 1911, some genealogical notes, various reference notes, typescript copies of two newspaper articles by Henderson, a letter from Matson to a relative of Henderson, Sept. 1994, explaining his interest; a collection of newspaper cuttings about the Abbey, etc.; and also with a framed photograph of Henderson by Guy's of Cork. Henderson's theatrical scrapbooks are in the National Library of Ireland, and are a major source for the history of the Abbey Theatre. (1)

William Brown, London 1824, of tapering form, ribbed bandings, engraved with Garter and crest with a ducal coronet, plain handles, wire inner frame, removable rimHeight: 22cm, weight of each: 64ozFootnote: HeraldryThe Crest of The Rt Hon William Lowther KG, the 1st Earl of LonsdaleA dragon passant argentThe crest is environed with the Garter with its motto: ‘Honi soit qui mal y pense’ [Shame on him who thinks evil of it]. The whole is ensigned with an Earl’s coronet.Note:Sir William Lowther (born 29th December 1757 died 19th March 1844), the 1st Earl of Lonsdale and 2nd Baronet of Little Preston and Swillington in the County of Yorkshire, served as Member of Parliament for Appleby in 1780, for Carlisle from 1780 to 1784 and for Cumberland from 1784 to 1790. In 1796, he returned as Member of Parliament for Rutland, holding the seat until 1802 when he resigned his seat in the House of Commons on succeeding his cousin as Viscount Lowther as a peer in the House of Lords.William served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the army as well as being the Lord Lieutenant of Cumberland and Westmorland and Recorder of Carlisle. Having been appointed a Knight of the Garter and created Earl of Lowther in 1807, he set about an extensive redesign of the family estate, rebuilding Lowther Caste with the architect Robert Smirke between 1806 and 1814. An industrialist and coal magnate, Lowther was a man of vast means, allowing him to indulge his interests in the arts and he served as patron to many artists and writers, including William Wordsworth.He was well known for his extravagant purchases, Robert Smirk reported in his diary that he was believed to have a yearly income of £100,000; close to the equivalent of £10 million today. The craft of the silversmith did not escape his notice and following his inheritance of the title in 1807, he set about commissioning a large gilt service from silversmiths Paul Storr, Digby Scott and Benjamin Smith, much of which was later sold in 1947, following the closure of the Castle in 1937 due to the depletion of the family fortune by the 5th Earl's more profligate tendencies.Many pieces from the original collection still surface at auction today, such as a set of four silver-gilt salts from the Lonsdale Service, by (not marked) Digby Scott and Benjamin Smith (II), 1803 and retailed by Rundell, Bridge and Rundell (Sotheby’s New York, 16th April, 2013, lot 407), typical of the early 19th century Egyptian Revival style, and exude the luxury of the Regency period.Although regarded as a top tier client of the Royal goldsmiths, Rundell, Bridge & Rundell, the size of the Earl’s commissions presumably meant that even they had to outsource work to meet the demands placed upon their workshops. These vast commissions often lasted over many years and it is possible these wine coolers were either outsourced to William Brown and part of the original commission or possibly ordered to increase the size of the already huge service.
