Andrews (Henry C.) The Botanist`s Repository 10 vol. first edition engraved titles 664 engraved plates 64 double-page and/or folding some colour-printed all hand-coloured many heightened with gum arabic plate-guards occasional spotting to text not affecting plates some offsetting plate 608 with slight adhesion damage bookplate of John Bolton of Storrs Hall Cumbria to pastedowns contemporary green half straight-grain morocco spines gilt rubbed corners and joints slightly worn spines faded [Great Flower Books p.155; Nissen BBI 2382] 4to printed by T.Bensley for the author 1797 [-1814]. *** The Botanist`s Repository was begun as a rival publication to the Botanical Magazine the prominence of “only” in its title is a dig at that magazine which figured fewer plants than its rival. The larger format plate allowed for finer botanical accuracy without forsaking the beauty of the composition. John Bolton (1756-1831) made his money as a slave-trader in Liverpool and bought Storrs Hall in around 1806. He was a notorious figure in the local area was heavily involved in local politics and in 1805 killed a Major Brooks in the last duel fought in Liverpool.

A travel journal dated June to July 1847, relating an expedition in Brazil from Rio to Paraiba and back, by an anonymous writer in pencil longhand in a small notebook, 10.5 x 7.5cm, with a pen and ink folding map of the route on tissue paper. The writer records his companions, a Mr Hobkirk and Dr Curtis, and details their route, the estates and people they visit, the crops, wildlife and plants. The writer has an interest in natural history and plants, and mentions a previous visit in 1824 to the Sierra d`Estrilla with `Mr Spence to see Mr Langsdorff`. It is therefore likely that the writer had been engagedon previous botanical expeditions in the region. The last five pages are records of plants. A typed transcript of the journal is available.

A lacquered brass portable Withering pattern botanical microscope Unsigned, early 19th century With three objective lenses mounted via twin turned uprights above an up/down adjustable stage with central oculus and fitted with slots to take various accessories to circumference, the open loop base mounted with pivoted plano-concave mirror, 10.5cm high, in original paper covered wooden cylindrical case, 11.5cm high overall. This form of relatively simple portable botanical microscope was developed by Dr. William Withering (1741-99). Originating from Birmingham and an active member of the Lunar Society, Dr. Withering first described this form of microscope in his 1776 work A Botanical Arrangement of all the Vegetables Naturally Growing in Great Britain.

Two similar mahogany cased Withering 1792 pattern folding portable botanical microscopes Both unsigned, early 19th century Each with hinged lid pasted with instructions to inside surface (one with wear) and enclosing pivoted brass pillar mounted with folding objective lens above conforming stained bone circular stage, one friction fitted to the upright for focusing the other with screw action telescopic upright and one with additional bone objective lens both lacking forceps and probe, each approximately 12cm long closed. This form of relatively simple portable botanical microscope was developed by Dr. William Withering (1741-99) as an improvement over his 1776 pattern microscope (see lot 1). Originating from Birmingham and an active member of the Lunar Society, Dr. Withering described this form of microscope in the 1792 revised reprint of his work A Botanical Arrangement of all the Vegetables Naturally Growing in Great Britain first printed in 1776.

An unusual ivory and brass portable microscope Unsigned, probably early 19th century With simple and compound objective lenses mounted opposing each other at each end of the instrument separated via twin brass uprights with fixed brown-stained stage between, the rim of the stage and compound lens end of the instrument now pierced to take various tools (lacking), 7cm high, in black japanned wooden cylindrical case, the box 7.4cm high overall. The basic form of this relatively simple portable microscope bears similarities to a model developed by Dr. William Withering (1741-99) published in his 1776 work A Botanical Arrangement of all the Vegetables Naturally Growing in Great Britain (see lot 1). However the current lot differs in that the stage appears to be fixed but in a way as to be located at the focal length for both opposing sets of lenses. Therefore, in order to alter the magnification, the specimen would need to be removed from the stage and the instrument inverted with the specimen then placed on the reverse side of the stage before viewing through the second lens.
