Ireland (Samuel William Henry, editor). Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, 4 volumes, 1st edition, 1st issue, volumes I-III, London: John Fairburn; volume IV, London: John Cumberland, 1823-28, half-titles for volumes I-II, 27 fine folding engraved plates by George Cruikshank, all but 3 hand-coloured, some light offsetting from plates to text, all edges gilt, later crimson full morocco by Morrell, covers with panel design and Napoleonic emblems to corners, spines with raised bands, lettered and decorated with Napoleonic emblems in compartments, 8vo QTY: (4)NOTE:Abbey Life 359; Tooley 278. A handsome set.'Issued originally in parts, Volumes I, II and III by Fairburn, and Volume IV by Cumberland. Fairburn evidently relinquished his rights in the book, on completion of the third volume, to Cumberland, who inset his engraved titles with the printed titles of Fairburn. The priority of Fairburn is evidenced by his titles carrying a sequence of dates from 1823, whereas the four titles of Cumberland are dated on completion in 1828 .The Fairburn venture must have been unsuccessful, for sets carrying his imprints are very unusual, and examples of the three printed titles definitely rare. Early printings of the text can also be recognized from the chapter summaries; in the first state they are longer, the summaries filling a page or more, whereas later printings are contracted. Pages 41 and 42 and 115 and 116 in the third volume are cancels. Further, pages 110 to 115 in Volume III are repeated, the discrepancy being noted by the second run being starred.' (Abbey).

In 1867 she married the statesman, academic and economist Henry Fawcett. Millicent wrote on women’s education, women’s suffrage, and economics, as well as two novels. She was co-founder of Newnham College in 1875, and served on its council. She was a committee member of the London National Society for Women’s Suffrage from 1867, and spoke and lectured on women’s issues and other political subjects in the 1870s. She emerged as the women’s suffrage movement’s leader after the death of Lydia Ernestine Becker in 1890.Unlike Becker, with whom Darwin occasionally corresponded between 1863 and 1877, Millicent Fawcett never seems to have met or corresponded with Darwin himself, though she and her husband Henry did have contact with Darwin’s second son, George. Millicent was a committed disciple of John Stuart Mill, a keen supporter of women’s suffrage, while the arch-conservative Darwin has traditionally not been recognised as a promoter of women’s rights. This view has softened in recent years and certainly Millicent believed Darwin was an ally and named him as a supporter:‘… This objection, that the notion of women suffrage is monstrous and absurd and deserves only to be treated as a joke, is one which is slowly dying a natural death. You still hear of it in remote country districts, but it has received its death blow from the names of the many very eminent persons who are the warm advocates of women’s suffrage. Perhaps I need only mention such names as Mr Mill, Canon Kingsley, Mr Darwin, Professor Huxley and Professor Maurice to remind you that women’s suffrage is advocated by men occupying the highest ranks in philosophy, science and literature’, (from ‘A Lecture Delivered at the New Hall, Tavistock, 11 March 1871’, published in Melissa Terras & Elizabeth Crawford (editors), Millicent Garrett Fawcett: Selected Writings, (UCL Press, 2022), p. 53.)Freeman 376a; Norman 594; cf.

J. Heawood, and dated Polperri, January 7, 1841. In the letter Couch acknowledges his interest in his History of British Fishes, and states: 'I am aware that a species of the Hammerhead Shark is not uncommon in the Seas of the Southern States of America; but perhaps you know that there are four five species of that genus, natives of warmer seas than our own; and I do not feel certain which of them may be the American Species - or as is more probable - whether more than one may not be common there'. The author goes on to discuss the Grey Mullet. A pencil note at the foot of the letter indicates that the letter was purchased by William J. Rawlings at the sale of the library of W. J. Heawood.

As mentioned above, he was created a peer in his own right as Baron Noel in 1681 and took his seat in the House of Lords and was also appointed as the Custos Rotulorum of Hampshire the same year. In 1682, he appointed to several offices within the county: Governor of Portsmouth, Constable of Porchester Castle, and Lieutenant of South Bere Forest.

Just two owners from new and under 7,000 milesExtremely rare Atlas Grey MetallicRare configuration of bucket seats with no roll cage, ideal for touringMain dealer service history & freshly serviced by Porsche BrooklandsFollowing the launch of the 911/996, Porsche launched the GT3, the first 996 variant intended for the racetrack. Its 3.6 litre engine was derived from the GT1 and delivered 360bhp at 7,200rpm, offering 60 additional horsepower over the base 3.4 litre motor in the standard Carrera. It was also fitted with adjustable suspension and a unique body kit, including a dual-plane rear wing. The interior featured sports seats, whilst some of the interior trim was removed to keep weight down. Porsche also built a track focussed version of the GT3, dubbed the GT3 Club Sport. Only a handful of differences can be noted in comparison to the GT3, including the fitment of a full roll cage and a Nomex covered driver’s seat with side airbags omitted. Whilst not generally intended for daily driving, this edition was track-ready in every aspect and able to compete in a number of racing series worldwide.This example is one of the very last 996 GT3’s built and is truly one for the collector, having covered less than 7,000 miles from new with two private keepers. Our vendor purchased the car directly from the original owner in December 2022, to add to his collection of similar calibre modern classics. The car was specified in Atlas Grey Metallic (code LM7X) which is an exceedingly rare colour on the 996, as it was only introduced in 2004, the final year of production for the 996. Interestingly, the interior was specified with leather Recaro bucket seats and without the optional roll cage. This gives a vast area for luggage behind the front seats, which would usually be obstructed by a roll cage, making this the ideal configuration for spirited touring. A further addition to the interior is option code 981, leather wrapped dashboard. The service history for this GT3 is extraordinary, having been serviced exclusively by Porsche Tonbridge 12 times with the original owner, then most recently in February 2025 at Porsche Brooklands. Supplied to auction with all manuals and service booklets, invoices to back up every stamp in the book, a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until January 2026, this GT3 ticks all of the boxes.

• Recent full engine rebuild• Extensive history file and expenditure• One of 220 Giallo Ginestra examplesThe Lancia Delta was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1979 and is best known for its domination of the World Rally Championship in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Constantly being developed, the first 'Evolution' cars were built at the end of 1991 and carried on through 1992; these models were the final homologation cars built for the Lancia Rally Team competing under the Martini Racing banner. In June 1993, the second 'Evolution' version of the Delta HF Integrale featured an updated version of the two litre, 16 valve turbo engine to produce more power and torque, now developing 215 PS (against 210 PS on the earlier un-catalytic version). The 1993 Integrale received a cosmetic and functional facelift that included 16" light alloy rims with 205/45 ZR 16 tyres, bodycolour roof moulding to underline the connection between the roof and the solar tinted windows, aluminium fuel cap and air-intake grilles on the front mudguards, red colour coded cam cover, leather-covered three-spoke Momo steering wheel and Recaro seats upholstered in tan Alcantara with diagonal stitching. With these upgrades, the Evo II Integrale is considered by many as the most desirable version to own.This striking 1994 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evolution II is a stunning example of the iconic rally derived homologation special in the coveted limited edition Giallo Ginestra Yellow of which only 220 were produced. Supplied new in Germany and first registered in Hamburg on 31st August 1994 where the car spent three years before coming to the UK and being registered on 3rd September 1997. If ever there's a car where yellow works better than any other it’s the Lancia Delta Integrale and in Giallo Ginestra, it is one of the rarest Evolutions produced. Under the bonnet sits a 2.0 litre turbocharged 16 valve in-line four-cylinder engine producing an impressive 219bhp sent to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, thanks to the new ECU and the Garett T3 turbo on the Evo II which translates into a 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds.Inside you find dark grey Alcantara trim with yellow stitching, Recaro front sports seats, new black carpets and HF over mats, Momo Corse steering wheel, air conditioning, and it has a new set of 17" Evolution Speedline Corse magnesium alloy wheels in Anthracite with new Pirelli P-Zero tyres. The car has had seven previous keepers from new with our vendor having purchased the car in July 2018. It boasts an impressive and full marque specialist maintenance history with 17 stamps in the service/maintenance book, five in Germany and nine by Lancia dealer Walkers Garage Ltd in Northallerton, North Yorkshire and four by Auto Integrale Ltd in Reading. There is a lot of expenditure on the car from 2003 to 2018 amounting to £18,850 and upon purchasing the car in September 2018, the current owner had Walkers Garage carry out a full assessment of the car and as a result of their recommendations he spent a further £16,162 with works amounting to 189 ¼ hours in total, including a full engine rebuild plus many other new components. In addition to these works, some paintwork rectification was carried out by a specialist body shop totalling £2,000, re-trimming of the front seats by a specialist trimmer at £1,800, all amounting to £20,662 and a total spend on the car of £39,512 since 2003.The car comes with is original handbook pack including maintenance book and owner’s manual, two books on Lancia Delta Integrale’ s including Peter Collins hardback book, HPi check and certificate, MoT history and test certificates, all invoices for works and servicing carried out. It has now covered a genuine 81,928 miles (131,850 kilometres) from new, but only 464 miles since the engine rebuild by Walkers Garage Ltd, a few more miles will be undertaken prior to the auction but it is advised that further running in is completed before you take on any rally stages. A fabulous and rare car that needs no introduction, the Lancia Delta Integrale is just a truly great classic, and one to keep in your garage! Viewing is highly recommended.

Nürburgring Limited Edition 179 of 240Six-speed manual transmissionNew tyres & 10 month MoT test certificateAston Martin’s ‘Baby Vantage’ set new standards of handling and performance, the engine was a return to a V8 and the body design, by Aston Martin’s Design Director Henrik Fisker, again took Aston Martin back to the days of the DB2 and DB2/4 by restricting the car to a two seater, the luggage area could be maximised with access through an opening rear hatch.The Limited Edition Vantage Nürburgring N400 featured here, is number 179 of 240 and has enhancements over the standard car, devised to celebrate two landmarks, the success of the Aston martin N24 in the ADAC Nürburgring 24 hour races. This N400 is further enhanced by the significant inclusion of cherished registration number N400 VAM. The enhancements included a useful power upgrade to the 4.3 litre V8 engine, lifting peak power to 400bhp and also came equipped with a new Sports Pack as standard which offered subtly different driving dynamics tailored to enthusiasts who were seeking even more responsive handling. The fully road going N400 was timed lapping 'the Ring' in just under eight minutes giving rise to the target production of just 480 cars, exactly how many seconds in those eight minutes!Reflecting the classic 007 colours, this lovely example finished in Lightning Silver with black Obsidian leather with silver stitching, has had just three owners from new. The first two were assiduous in servicing at Aston Martin main agents with the current East Anglia-based owner, a marine business-owner and ‘loves the car and the driving experience’. He has treated the car carefully whilst in his stewardship, as an engineer, undertaking maintenance himself and laying the car up every winter to avoid the worst of the weather, but he also states that he has never taken the car out in the rain. The car presents beautifully and offers some of the best handling to come out of the Gaydon factory, it benefits from a six-speed manual gearbox with new clutch fitted in June 2018 as well as, less than 4,000 miles ago, it is enhanced by four new Pirelli P-Zero tyres as well as a MoT test history that runs alongside the maintenance record serving to verify the current mileage proving this limited-edition Aston Martin to be one for any enthusiast or collector.

THE Legendary Pokémon of Base Set, in Shadowless 1st Edition no less. This card has been authenticated and graded by CGC and awarded an Excellent/ Near Mint+ 6.5.Grading report: For a grade of 6.5, no more than one slightly “dinged” corner is allowed, or no more than two of the following flaws: two or three fuzzy corners; slightly rough edges; noticeable print spots. A moderate diamond cut is allowed, and light wax staining on the front is acceptable.About this card: The Original Base Set went through a number of variations and printings through 1999 and not all of them are widely known.The first iteration is known as 1st Edition Shadowless. This variation is distinct from the others on two grounds: 1) The 1st edition circular stamp on the left-hand side of the card is clearly visible, and 2) A shadowless card has a different colour pallet than its unlimited counterpart. The official terminology is what’s known as missing the ‘drop shadow’ on the card, specifically around the art box but the best way to describe it is it kind of looks like the entire card is sun damaged/bleach.
