John Porteous (c.1695-1736) was the unpopular Captain of the City Guard of Edinburgh. After losing control of an angry crowd during a public execution in April 1736, a panicked Captain Porteous ordered his men to fire on the mob, killing a number of people. Tried and convicted for murder, Porteous was sentenced to be executed. Misjudging the level of popular anger, Walpole intervened on Porteous' behalf and had his execution deferred. An angry mob was able to overpower the Tolbooth prison guards, drag Porteous from his cell, and lynch him in the street. This pamphlet puts forward Lord Grange's argument, based on constitutional grounds, against the Lord Provost being held responsible and the city as a whole being fined for the actions of certain "wicked persons".

Illustrated in Prose and Verse.', L, Bohn, 1861, 1st Bohn edition, 86 etched plates as called for, old half calf gilt. Alfred Henry Forrester (1804-1872) was an English author, illustrator, artist and book designer, who was known under the pseudonym of "Alfred Crowquill". Crowquill’s work on the inside of his books was matched by work on their exteriors. He designed numerous book covers in the 1850s and 60s and probably continued in this line until the end of his career. The Pierpont Morgan Library contains 72 of his original designs in watercolour and graphite for a series of Yellowbacks, part of the collection of the Victorianist Gordon N. Ray, as well as a portfolio of printed versions of the covers. Apart from a brief mention in Ray’s account of Victorian illustration (64–5), this aspect of Crowquill’s work has attracted negligible critical interest, a strange omission given that his productivity makes him one of the foremost designers in the field; he produced far more covers, for example, than John Sleigh or Robert Dudley, and is only second, at least in terms of numbers, to John Leighton.

A Leica M3 'First Batch' Black Paint Rangefinder Body, 1959, black paint, serial no. 959447, body, F, shutter working1959, black paint, serial no. 959447, body, F, shutter workingNotes:The camera was discovered in a private collection dismantled into parts, all contained in a single plastic bag. The camera was then handed over to specialist Leica repairers in poor condition.The camera was initially assembled with parts supplied and a number of faults were discovered. Any parts fitted were salvaged/repaired parts from cameras of the same age/model. The camera is single stroke and shutter speeds are later type. The rangefinder is in good order. There are a few internal marks on some of the coatings that look like fingerprints. These are marks etched into the coatings. The optics have all been cleaned and the rangefinder is very good and has been calibrated.With a complete deep clean of all mechanical parts, we managed to restore the camera to good working condition. Shutter speeds are good. We had to supply a few minor parts that were of the correct age but chrome. These were stripped and painted/treated/aged to blend in with the camera. These were the two black flash port bezels and the screw that holds the preview lever to the camera. There is a little vulcanite loss. We have not touched these up. Other than general cleaning, the paintwork retains the original patina.We didn’t record every single part but any springs, levers, screws etc would have been contemporary with the camera. Black or chrome, the same internal parts were used. The only parts fitted that were not contemporary were two light seals that form part of the rangefinder. One looks like a black plastic washer and another - a black card teardrop-shaped seal for the frame line selector.As previously mentioned, flashport parts were supplied and fitted. I believe that the original black paint M3 cameras had chrome flash port bezel rings. We found a couple of rings that we painted/fitted. In any event, many original black cameras do seem to have black rings. Normally, the release catch on the bottom plate would be chrome.There is a tiny ring that sits under the preview lever. It can hardly be seen. It screws against the shell of the camera. That part was missing so we replaced it with a part that was painted by ourselves.So, non-original black parts fitted: flash port beauty rings, preview lever bezel. The light seals for the RF are no longer available and are made the agent. Service Log:Baffle removed. Baffle cleaned. Baffle (plush) strips re-glued.Cleaned shutter area.
