The mirror shares the features of outset sides, acanthus plume and eagle heads grasping swags of flowers, these design elements not uncommon on tables as well as mirrors. They are in the manner of Moore and Gumley and the frames bear a strong resemblance to that of the mirror in the Untermeyer Collection. James Moore who flourished between 1708 and 1726, was in partnership with John Gumley and supplied mirrors to Erthig, Denbighshire.Condition Report: SALEROOM NOTICE: THESE MIRRORS ARE A MATCHED PAIR, NOT A PAIR AS STATED IN THE CATALOGUEIt is conceivable that these mirrors might have been made in the same workshop, the differences are only apparent when closely comparing the detail of each.There are scratches, knocks, scuffs, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.There are losses, restorations and observations including:There is a patina of variable coloured gilding from tarnished looking to brighter, with signs of some later gilt.There are repaired cracks, generally to the crest and upper areas of the mirrors, and along the grain of timber.The mirror plates are of a later date, one with losses to the silvering.Differences, apparent only on close inspection, include: the cross section ogee moulding of the main frame; the carved detail to this ogee moulding; the varying in prominence of some carving; the proportions/elongation varying.Cracks to the backboards, there is some evidence of worm.Please see the additional photographs as a visual reference of condition.

The cornice some other sections incorporating later timber elements visible from the exterior. The interior construction with associated timber elements of various age and size secured to support the exterior 'frame' of the bookcase. Some sections of timber, particularly those visible from the interior, bear marks and/ or holes suggesting they are re-purposed elements.It appears that the visible exterior of the bookcase is constructed from elements of 18th century room panelling or a 'built in' element of a room , and incorporating other contemporary and later elements in order to construct the bookcase as it now stands. The nature of this construction has resulted in there being void holes and gaps to the interior and void sections visible between elements ( such as parts of the cornice are viewed from above.) The carved capitals and carved elements of the frieze with dark stain or ebonised. There are patches adjacent to the parliament hinges, the doors opening to touch the carved capitals.

A GEORGE II MAHOGANY GAINSBOROUGH ARMCHAIRIN THE MANNER OF GILES GRENDEY, CIRCA 1750With outswept arms, downswept arm supports headed by stylised flowers, on acanthus carved cabriole legs and claw and ball feet98cm high, 77cm wide, 82cm deep overallProvenance: Property from the Phillip Lucas Collection, Spitalfields HouseCondition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions comensurate with age and use.Old chips and splits comensurate with age and useThe chair is of solid useable structure.The upholstery has been executed highly professionally and recently. The upholstery has no stains or obvious faults. The fabric covering the underside of the seat has been removed in order to inspect the originality of the seat rails. The seat rails appear original and bear some worm damage (but not sufficient to weaken the structure of them overall - see images) The rear seat rail is possibly an old replacement. If it is a replacement it is remarkably well matched to the others. It does not bear any worm holes. The brass casters with leather rollers to the underside of the feet are of the period and likely original. Upon close inspection under torch light there are a number of old repairs to the arm terminals (see images) Some incorporating very well matched spliced elements. Some of the elements appear to be original parts that have been carefully re-attached. These look to be old and very well matched repairs. The lower part of one arm upright previously cracked and detached but re-secured and with addition of a neatly introduced plug/ dowel join. (see images) No old breaks or significant cracks detected to the legs but one lion toe previously detached from the front right foot and re-glued, one section of one of the smallest toes of the opposite front foot replaced. one plain 'ear' to one rear leg (visible only from reverse of chair) may possibly be a very well matched replacement. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

Thomas Robert Malthus: 'An Essay on the Principle of Population; or, a View of its Past and Present Effects on Human Happiness; with an Inquiry into our Prospects Respecting the Future Removal or Mitigation of the Evils which it Occasions. A New Edition, very much Enlarged.', London, printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley, 1803, 2nd edition, the 'great quarto edition', the first to bear Malthus's name, substantially enlarged, rewritten, and re-titled, "In 1803 Malthus published a greatly expanded second edition of the Essay, incorporating details of the population checks that had been in operation in many different countries and periods. Although nominally a second edition, it was regarded by Malthus as a substantially new work. He did not claim originality for the idea that population tends to outrun the food supply. In the preface to the second edition he stated that in writing the first edition he had deduced the principle of population from the writings of David Hume, Robert Wallace, Adam Smith, and Richard Price, but that in the intervening period he had become aware that much more had been published on the subject. He nevertheless believed that even more remained to be done, especially in describing the means by which populations are checked and in drawing out the practical implications of the principle of population. In the second edition, he made clear what was only implicit in the first, that prudential restraint should, if humanly possible, be 'moral restraint' - that is, delayed marriage accompanied by strictly moral pre-marital behaviour, although he admitted that moral restraint would not be easy and that there would be occasional failures. Whereas in the first edition he had said that all the checks to population would involve either misery or vice, in the second edition he attempted to lighten this 'melancholy hue' (Essay on the Principle of Population, 1st edn, 1798, iv) and 'to soften some of the harshest conclusions of the first essay' (2nd edn, 1803, vii) by arguing that moral restraint, if supported by an education emphasizing the immorality of bringing children into the world without the means of supporting them, would tend to increase rather than diminish individual happiness" (ODNB). The first edition, published anonymously, is now a great rarity. This second was the result of much criticism, as well as the great success of the first; further correspondence with Godwin; and travels abroad, on the continent and in Scandinavia, along with reading of travel literature, which resulted in numerous new case studies being added (see Watkin Tench's copy, below). There are more comparisons with other countries and Malthus places a new emphasis on moral or 'natural restraint' (he is opposed to contraception and abortion); allowing that it is possible for such restraint to be practised, Malthus thus reviewed what was 'too gloomy a view of human nature in his first essay' (New Palgrave).The pessimist line, with its origins in Hume, Smith and Godwin, extended from Malthus to Ricardo, to James Mill and his son John Stuart, to Darwin and Wallace, even to Marx and Engels, the utopians who were driven to condemn Malthus, but were themselves prophets of doom and of the 'misery of the working classes', in what was arguably an age of remarkable economic and social development (Norman). viii,[4],610pp, title page and some leaves of preface and contents with tidemark to inner margin (not affecting printed text of title page), pp1/2 with small part loss at tope corner just affecting printed page numbers, pp42, the first word on line 12 "a" of "accounts" affected by small black mark, else some sporadic light spotting/foxing to some leaves throughout, mainly marginal, otherwise leaves generally clean/VGC. Quarto, professionally rebound paper covered boards, printed paper label to spine. Hugely influential work by Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834), the towering English cleric, scholar and influential economist in the fields of political economy and demography

An original unpublished manuscript by Harry Henry (1916-2008), titled 'Lewis Carroll and the Subconscious', dated October 1932, "Published by the Upton Press, Unlimited", and with m/s text opposite title page "This edition is strictly limited to one copy, signed and illustrated in pen & ink by the author", 8 page manuscript study + 3 full page m/s pen & ink illustrations, "Any student of the life and works of Lewis Carroll...cannot have failed to have been struck by a...presentiment - that hidden in his words is something of the esoteric, or, at least, of the subconscious. This may be purely unintentional on the author's part. He himself always emphatically disclaimed ever having written any serious or solemn meaning into his verse. Yet..when..discussing himself, he was quite untrustworthy, his love of fun overcoming his passion for truth...it is quite possible that while he did not intentionally put any great truths into his work, yet his subconscious may have had a vast effect in the shaping of his thoughts...Living as he did a solitary and somewhat morose existence, it is obvious he must have become in some degree introspective and self analytical. For example, he himself says * In 'Principles of Parliamentary Representation', p.35,II.28,29 "Very often it seems to me as though I am, and yet at the same time I am not, what I am; for, after all, what am I?"...His biographer, Edward Lloyd, a contemporary and a close friend of Dodgson, said of him: "Up to the age of 35 it seemed to his more observant friends and acquaintances that the hereditary madness of the Dodgson family was becoming manifest in him. Howbeit, after that age he became quite normal, only relapsing into the eccentric when engaged on some new work of fancy or imagination." This seems quite satisfactorily to bear out the general facts of the theory here put forward: namely, that until the writing of the Jabberwocky - immortal, certainly, but how full of subconscious meaning - his eccentricity could find no outlet save in peculiar and striking ways...Let us first take the Jabberwocky, from 'through the Looking-Glass.'...The third verse: "He took his vorpal sword in handLong time the manxome foe he soughtSo rested he by the Tumtum treeAnd stood awhile in thought." is by far the most important. It is obvious *this view is supported by Paul Selver and James Joyce - two very great authorities on Carroll. *that the Jabberwock - 'the jaws that bite, the claws that catch' - represents the many and rampant forces of death, destruction and annihilation. This is amplified by the adjective 'manxome' - a portmanteau word combining manevolent, suicidal, and doom.+So the author says in a letter to Alice Liddell, dated June, 1872..." and so on, the manuscript signed H. Henry at page 8 at the conclusion of the words, and the following 3 pages of pen & ink illustrations each signed by him, small 4to, contemporary silk binding with manuscript pen & ink title written on front cover. Harry Henry (1916-2008) was seen by many as the father of the market research industry in Britain. A former director of the Thomson Organisation, he changed the face of newspaper publishing in Britain. He was an innovator in all aspects of marketing and the media, and there are few key industry research bodies on which he did not serve in a distinguished capacity. In 1965 he was responsible for the introduction to Britain of Yellow Pages directories, his single main achievement. During WW2 he was principal statistician of 21 Army Group in the invasion of Europe 1944-45 where he was the "father" of military statistical analysis, for which he does not get the credit he deserves. During this period he demonstrated the inverse proportion between military speed of advance and the increase in rate of V.D. He married into the literary and academic family, the Ansteys, of whom the best known was the late Victorian humourist. This interesting unpublished manuscript was written age 16 or 17 (1932).
