E Sibly, Culpeper`s English physician and complete herbal published circa 1790-1800 Culpeper`s English physician; and complete herbal. To which are now first added upwards of one hundred additional herbs, with a display of their medicinal and occult properties, physically applied to the cure of all disorders incident to mankind. To which are annexed rules for compounding medicine according to the true system of nature: forming a complete family dispensatory and natural system of physic. Two volumes bound in one. Nicholas Culpeper (1616-1654) knew all about the powers of herbs. In 1652, he published his book “The English Physician”, followed by his “Complete Herbal” the following year, which for more than a century were regarded as the seminal works on natural healing. His work was extended by Ebenezer Sibly (1751-1800) a physician, astrologer and writer on the occult. Sibly became a Freemason in 1784, and four years later, he dedicated his new edition of Culpeper`s English Physician And Complete Herbal "To Thomas Dunckerly, Provincial Grand Master. in the year of Masonry 5798". Sibly’s revised edition boasted “upwards of 100 additional herbs” to Culpeper’s original offering and promised “The Cure of all Disorders incident to Mankind”. Included within the pages of this leather-bound volume are numerous methodically hand-written pages of notes listing a miscellany of weird and wonderful treatments. The pages of notes are by an unknown hand and dated 1813, a time when the study of homeopathy and amateur science was a pastime of the middle classes. They include, for example, Professor Brugnatelli’s cure “for that terrible malady, madness” – rabies – . The King’s Evil; – scrofula, or “tuberculosis of the neck”, was so-called because it was believed it could be cured by the touch of the king’s hand. The notes record a “Mr Charles Cooksey’s recipe for another “infallible” solution. Other recipes are more prosaic such as the following: “To prevent mice from eating corn-stacks, lay a few stalks of water mint about a foot from the bottom and a few stalks every two or three cartloads you put in afterwards and a few near the top. Laying water-mint among cheeses will also prevent mice from eating them.”

James Weddell, 1787-1834, pair of sketches of Antarctic interest, and a first edition of his book "A voyage towards the South Pole" THE WATERCOLOURS; inscribed "Brig Janes and cutter Beaufoy in the latitude of 74° 15` South returning to the Northward 20th February 1823" and " Brig Janes and cutter Beaufoy in latitude of South passing to the Southward a chain of ice Islands", each 8" x 11" This pair of watercolour sketches were used as a basis for two of the illustrations in the book worked from the sketches by A Masson and engraved by I Clarke. THE BOOK; First edition 1825 with errata, maps and illustrations, A voyage towards the South Pole performed in the years 1822-4 containing an examination of the Antarctic Sea and a visit to Tierra del Fuego. Bound in with "Observations on the probability of reaching the South Pole 1826". The title page has a name inscription made by a descendant of the author, and before "Observations" there is an author`s inscription "To James Weddell Esq. Sen with affectionate regard from his cousin, The author" HiSTORICAL NOTE; James Weddell 1787-1834 was an English explorer, naturalist, geographer, and sealer who sailed on three expeditions to the Antarctic (in the years 1820-21, 1821-22 and 1822-23). He managed to juggle the demands of a rather grisly profession with a desire to make scientific observations of the new regions to which his seal-searching brought him. He had served in the Navy between 1796 and 1815 and had risen to the rank of Master. Having left the Navy he was given command of a ship for a sealing expedition to the newly discovered South Shetland Islands. He subsequently went on two voyages in 1822 and 1823, again primarily for sealing, but this time it was agreed that Weddell would search beyond known sealing areas. He set off on the second of these in the brig JANE, manned by 22 men along with the BEAUFOY, with 13 men. This was a brave adventure for two small vessels in an area which was renowned for its bad weather and where ships often floundered. The third expedition set off on December 30, oth ships sailed south and reached the eastern end of the South Orkneys on January 13, 1823. Finding few seals Weddell decided to search further south. At noon on February 20 Weddell determined his position to be some 214 miles further south than Cook had achieved, which was the previous southerly record. The two ships had reached latitude 74°15` S and longitude 34°16`45" W:The weather was now extraordinarily clear and mild. Four icebergs were sighted but there was no land in sight. Due to the lateness of the season, along with Weddell`s possible doubts of there being any land at the pole, Weddell took advantage of the favorable winds and headed north. His record of reaching so far South was not broken for nearly 100 years His record, was greeted with some scepticism at home and Weddell decided to write a narrative of his voyage in a book. The first edition appeared in 1825. (A copy is being sold in this lot with the two sketches.) In later years Weddell offered his services to the Admiralty with a proposal for a return voyage to southern latitudes, but was turned down. Instead, he returned to trading along the warmer Atlantic coasts. In 1829 he was still master of the Jane, but on a passage from Buenos Aires to Gibraltar the Jane leaked so badly that she had to be given up at the Azores. Weddell and his cargo were transferred to another ship for the passage to England, but this ran aground on the island of Pico, and Weddell only just survived. The loss of the Jane meant financial ruin for Weddell, who was forced to take paid employment as a ship`s master. In September 1830 he left England as master of the Eliza, bound for the Swan River Colony in western Australia. From there he proceeded to Tasmania. He sailed back to England in 1832. Weddell died in 1834 at the age of forty-seven in relative poverty and obscurity in London. Weddell could be described as a "sealer-scientists," and was as interested in new discoveries as he was in filling his hold with fur seal skins. He was an avid explorer, naturalist, and geographer. He was also the first Antarctic conservationist, noting that with a little sensible management the South Shetland fur seal population could have provided a sustainable annual harvest of about 100,000 skins. Instead, greed had destroyed the breeding population. Shortly before his descent into the Weddell Sea, Weddell had spotted some sea-leopards on the shore of an island in the South Orkneys, and he captured several of them. He discovered that his animals were different from the ordinary sea-leopard in having spots, and so he called it a spotted sea-leopard. They turned out to be a previously unknown species which were named the Weddell seal in his honour. The sea that he had reached was named the Weddell Sea, and one of the Falkland Islands was also named after him. Stamps bearing his image were produced for the Falkland Island Dependencies in 1946 and for The British Antarctic Territory in 1973 ProvENANCE; Direct family descent from the author`s daughter Sarah to the present vendor who is a member of the Limont family.
