Sir Thomas Phillips], pub. Medio-Montanis [Middle Hill], 1838, pp.1-12 printed pages only [all published], loosely sewn, slim folio. (5). Provenance: The John Buchanan-Brown Collection. In 1660 Aubrey commenced writing a work on the antiquities of North Wiltshire in the style of Dugdale`s ÔWarwickshire`. The information for the work was gathered over a period of ten years and was deposited at the Ashmolean Museum, under the title of ÔHypomnemata antiquaria` in two volumes, Ôliber A` and Ôliber B`. The second volume Ôliber B` was borrowed by Aubrey`s brother William in 1703 and never returned. The lot above comprises three volumes of manuscript transcripts and two printed works relating to John Aubrey`s ÔCollections for Wilts` and ÔMemoires of Natural Remarques in the County of Wilts`, edited by Sir Thomas Phillips and published between 1821 and 1838. The first volume listed forms a manuscript transcript of John Aubrey`s original manuscript (Bodl. Oxf., Ms Aubrey 3, liber A). It formed part of the Phillips collection (no. 10490) and would have been used during the publication of Aubrey`s Collections for Wilts, published in two parts in 1821 & 1838. The Aubrey`s Collection for Wilts, Part 2, in this lot [edited by Sir T. Phillips] forms the 2nd revised printed proof of the work, containing numerous editing manuscript marks and annotations, which were corrected for the final printing. The letter addressed to Sir Thomas Phillips from William George Maton reads, ÒSir, Having, at present, in my possession Aubrey`s MS. History of Wiltshire (from the Library of the Royal Society), I have been made acquainted by Mr. Hudson, the Librarian, with the request contain`d in a letter from you to him, respecting a leaf which has been found wanting in the volume, and I have undertaken to communicate to you, myself the particulars necessary to guide you in your search for the detach`d part of the MS. The leaf missing is that of pages 67 and 68. The last line of page 66 is as follows... Ôbridge the Isle of Ely and other places, provided by nature to the`, the first line of page 69 is Ôfor a plain reason and therefore a dearth succeeds the yeare following`. The length of the folio is rather more than 14 inches, - the breadth about 10. I have the honor to be, Sir, your very obedient servant W.G. Maton. P.S. As I shall return the book to the Royal Society`s Library very shortly, you will perhaps be so good as to send the leaf that is missing (should you be successful in your search) to Mr. HudsonÓ. The physician William George Maton (1774-1835) was educated at Salisbury`s Free Grammar School and Queen`s College, Oxford. He undertook medical studies at Westminster Hospital and became a Fellow of the College of Surgeons in 1802. He was a physician at the Westminster Hospital, 1800-1808; Physician-Extraordinary to Queen Charlotte, 1816 and Physician-in-Ordinary to the Duchess of Kent and to the infant Princess Victoria, 1820. His writings included a catalogue of the plant and animal life around Salisbury, Wiltshire, which was published posthumously in 1843.
