Ɵ Richard Francis Burton Frank Baker, D.O.N., Stone Talk (Lithofonema); being, Some of the Marvellous Savings of a Petral Portion of Fleet Street,..., first and only edition [London, Robert Hardwicke, 1865] complete with errata leaf, contemporary ink inscription at head of title reading from a friend and engraved book label of the author Captain Sir Richard F.

The work is a bitter satire that enumerates England for the crimes it has committed and openly reprimands its political hypocrisy. Farwell notes that only 200 copies were printed, and of these only 128 were sent to the author and publisher and 33 to newspapers and magazines. Furthermore, Penzer states that at first Burton kept his identity as author secret from Lady Burton (his wife), but when she found out that the satire was written by her husband she went about buying as many copies as she could find (and destroying any he had been sent) for fear that he would get into trouble with the authorities. Provenance: The present copy is probably one of the few copies Burton received from the printers, that survived his wife's depredations by being gifted to a close friend (note his card enclosed and the inscription from a friend probably in Burton's hand). Ɵ Indicates that the lot is subject to buyer’s premium of 24% exclusive of VAT (0% VAT).

RARE Reid 1 Special Use Camera #P1723, Probably Ex-Royal Navy. This serial number makes it one of the earliest recorded for a Reid Model 1 of any type. With AP (Admiralty Patent) contract number AP 8886 to rear. On other AP models this number is centred across the middle of the back of the camera however this example has a 34mm threaded aperture in the back so an additional "AP" number has been added to the right of this aperture. The camera appears to be for some special (military?) purpose, or possibly for artillery rangefinder collimation or for fitting to a submarine periscope (see a similar camera, Lot 102, Christies June 2002). The hole has a threaded flange fitted, into which there is a 'cap'. When unscrewed this reveals the film plane & the shutter blinds but it is possible to see straight through to the rear of the lens when the shutter is locked open. (shutter occasionally intermittent with slightly lagging 2nd blind, otherwise condition 5F). Fitted with Taylor, Taylor, Hobson Anastigmat 2" f2 lens #330659 (slight internal marks, otherwise condition 5F).[cabinet I]

18th Century oak longcase clock, the square hood with blind fretted decoration above a rectangular panel door on plinth base, the gilt brass dial inscribed Phillips, Bromyard, with subsidiary seconds and calendar, the two train movement striking on a bell CONDITION REPORT Dial is 11.5ins square. Appears to be original. Has an eight day movement. There have been some small fillets of wood put in around the seat boards and the case does not stand straight. There is definitely a slight lean to the left as you look at it, this is partly because the joints are loose on the plinth base (one is solid, other has gaps and is slightly dropping because of this). A good furniture restorer could sort out this problem quite easily. Weights look like replacements.
