Political Substance of the Speeches made in the House of Commons on Wednesday the 15th of December 1779 on Mr Burke’s giving notice of intention to bring in a Bill after the Christmas recess for the Retrenchment of Public Expences and for the better securing the Independence of Parliament. London : J Almon 1779. 17pp plus title 8vo Stitched untrimmed partly uncut. The “Substance” was evidently conveyed to Almon by Burke himself who asserts his thesis that “The fatal and overgrown influence of the Crown” has caused “the whole of all of our grievances.” He speaks out against corrupt negligent self-serving power-hungry Ministers: “the same men in the same power sitting undisturbed before you though thirteen colonies have been lost.” Supporting Burke Dempster responds “that the influence of the Crown is the true cause of the mischievous origin the destructive progress the absurd conduct and the obstinate prosecution without view or hope of this cursed American war... If it continues and goes on as it has done I vow to God I do not think his Majesty will sit securely on his throne.” FIRST EDITION. Todd 31. 85 NUC 0972614 [1]. Not in Sabin or Adams J Almon

ANISFELD, BORIS 1878-1973 Grey Day with Storm Clouds , signed and dated 1954, also further titled on the reverse. Oil on canvas, 116.5 by 91 cm. Provenance: Estate of the artist.Private collection, UK.Exhibited: Boris Anisfeld Retrospective Exhibition, The Art Institute of Chicago, 1958, No. 86.Literature: Exhibition catalogue, Boris Anisfeld Retrospective Exhibition, The Art Institute of Chicago, 1958, p. 23, No. 86, illustrated.E. Lingenauber and O. Sugrobova-Roth, Boris Anisfeld. Catalogue raisonne, Düsseldorf, Edition Libertars, 2011, p. 104, P 040, illustrated.Anisfeld was fascinated by the drama and danger of storms. As a boy in the Bessarabian countryside, he would have experienced at first hand the spectacular violence of summer thunderstorms rolling down from the Carpathians. Later in life, he spent the summer of 1913 studying and painting in Spain, where according to the artist’s daughter, he paid particular attention to El Greco’s style of painting stormy skies. This influence is clearly seen in The Storm, 1919-1920, and in another painting from 1938-40, Coming Storm, as well as in this work Grey Day with Storm Clouds.This painting, unlike the others, presents the environment before the storm has fully broken. The rising wind is kicking up the women’s skirts and capes, the colours of which blend with those of the swirling clouds in the background. They and their wolfish dog stand as calmly as the golden birch to their left, waiting. In western art and literature, the storm, or storms, often stand in for Fate. As Anisfeld grew older, he became more fatalistic in his outlook. But he never lost track of the fact that fate cannot prevent one from facing it resolutely. This resolution, coupled with the acceptance of the inevitability of one’s fate, is what comes across in this picture.Charles Chatfield-Taylor
