I had given him the post of honour in command of my last supporting party for three reasons: first, because of his magnificent handling of the Roosevelt; second, because he had cheerfully and gladly stood between me and every possible minor annoyance from the start of the expedition to that day; third, because it seemed right to me that, in view of the noble work of Great Britain in Arctic exploration, a British subject should, next to an American, be able to say that he had stood nearest the North Pole'.

[Halle, Edward]. The Union of the two noble and illustre famelies of Lancastre & Yorke, beeyng long in continual discension for the croune of this noble realme ... beginnyng at the tyme of kyng Henry the fowerth ... proceadyng to the reigne of ... kyng Henry the eight, the undubitate flower and very heire of both the sayd linages, [col:] Londini in officina Richardi Graftoni, 1548, title within an architectural woodcut border, the upper compartment showing the king sitting in parliament, full-page woodcut showing a similar scene on the verso of the last leaf of text XXX5, followed by the colophon bearing Grafton's large woodcut device, large woodcut initials, the integral blanks Rr8, KK6, and kkk8 present, expert repairs to the title-page, resulting in some 8 letters of letterpress being supplied or completed in manuscript, a few neat marginal repairs, some soiling in the text, and inoffensive light worming, contemp. manuscript Table of the contents relating to Henry VII on the three blank pages between the section and that relating to Henry VIII, early 19th Century russia, sides bordered in blind within gilt fillets, enclosing a single gilt fillet panel with decorative gilt cornerpieces composed of small tools, skilfully and sympathetically rebacked, a.e.g., small folio. S.T.C. 12722. First Edition, with the title-page reading "illustre". An excellent, complete copy of a work seldom found in such good condition. Described by S.T.C. as "an exceptionally difficult work to grasp because of perplexities in the order of its printing", this copy has S.T.C.'s early issue points. It is without tables, and has setting Pb of the Preliminaries, and 1b and 2ab of the text. Halle's "Chronicle" is a mirror of Tudor life. It is the best contemporary chronicle of the reign of Henry VIII, and a panegyric of the House of Tudor, and especially of Henry. Grafton, Holinshead, and Stow borrowed extensively from it, while Shakespeare, in his earlier historical plays, followed Halle closely. In 1555, with Mary Tudor on the throne, Grafton was stripped of his title "printer to the king", and Halle's work was prohibited by proclamation. (1)

First edition of Major's history of Greater Britain, in which the separate histories of England and Scotland are brought together. "Written in a Sorbonic and barbarous style, yet very truly and with great liberty of spirit ...": Wood's Athen. Oxon. John Major (1469-1550) spent a number of years in Paris, first as a student and later as professor of scholastic philosophy. In 1519 he returned to Scotland to become professor of theology at St. Andrews, where his students included George Buchanan and John Knox. His History contains a suggestion that Scotland would have much to gain from a union with England, and an early mention of the legend of Robin Hood. Adams M228. (1)

Vergilius Maro (Publius). [Opera, Venetiis in aedibus Aldi et A.

Adams V466. Aldus launched his 'portable library' of Greek and Latin classics in 1501 with the publication of an earlier edition of this work which was also the first book printed in Italic type. The editions of 1514, ?1519 and 1527 have identical collations but different colophons at E5. E6/7 are errata leaves in the 1514 edition and blanks in the later editions the textual corrections having been made. The wide open mouth of the dolphin on the Aldine device in our copy would seem to indicate that this is the ?1519 edition, which Brunet cites as equally rare to that of the 1514 edition. See Renouard 68:8 and following. (1)

Donovan & Murdoch 1230. A good copy of the rare first edition of the first golf book to be successful in sales. Robert Forgan (1824-1900) was apprenticed as a joiner and carpenter and in 1852 joined his uncle, Hugh Philp, in the clubmaking business. Four years later, on the death of his uncle, Robert took over the business and was soon joined by his younger brother, James. Forgan, who was a shrewd businessman, successfully set about supplying all the needs of golfers from under the same roof: in 1881 his staff numbered about 12 and by 1895, the number had grown to about 50. Forgan gained a reputation for a very high standard of workmanship and his clubs are prized by collectors for the quality of their shafts, as straight today as they were more than 100 years ago. (1)
