Darwin (Charles), Admiral Robert Fitzroy & Captain Philip Parker King. Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of His Majesty's Ships Adventure and Beagle, between the Years 1826 and 1836, Describing their Examination of the Southern Shores of South America, and the Beagle's Circumnavigation of the Globe, 3 vol. in 4 (including Appendix to vol. 2), first edition, vol. 3 a late issue with pages i-iv cancels and new title-page, 9 folding engraved maps by J. Gardner and J. and C. Walker, 47 etched plates after P. King, A. Earle, C. Martens, R. Fitzroy and others, 24pp. ads at end of vol. iii dated August 1839, original cloth, neatly recased, retaining original backstrips (but with these rather bubbled and creased), corners repaired, some rubbing and marking to covers, [Freeman 11; Hill 1, pp104-105; Norman 584; Sabin 37826], 8vo, 1839.⁂ Darwin's first published work and his most-widely read, the account of the voyage that would lead to his publishing On the Origin of Species. The first volume contains King's account of the expedition in the Adventure made between 1826 and 1830, which surveyed the coasts of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. The second volume (and its appendix volume) describes the narrative of the Beagle's second voyage under Capt. Fitzroy made between 1831 and 1836 to South America, the Galapagos Islands, Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and other islands and countries. 'The five years of the voyage were the most important event in Darwin's intellectual life and in the history of biological science. Darwin sailed with no formal scientific training. He returned a hard-headed man of science, knowing the importance of evidence, almost convinced that species had not always been as they were since the creation but had undergone change... The experiences of his five years... and what they led to, built up into a process of epoch-making importance in the history of thought' (DSB).Provenance: Edward John Payne (bookplate to pastedowns); University College, Oxford (library plate with cancel stamp in two vol.).

Late 3rd millennium BC-2nd century AD. A mixed group of bronze stamp seals some accompanied by an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: (R-474) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 19.5 x 19.5 x 10 mm. This is roughly a round disc, with flat face, slightly convex back, and the beginning of a stalk handle on the back, now pierced for suspension. The design is linear and consists of four crescents adjoining the edge, one with a pole supporting it. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2000-1600 B.C. It is in good condition, though the handle broke in antiquity and a secondary hole was bored to carry it.'; (T-856) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 18.5 x 24 x 7 mm. This has roughly a V-shape, with flat face and flat back, on which is mounted a loop handle. The design, which is done in raised lines, consists of three parallel lines of zig-zag covering the base of the V, and a vertical line of zig-zag in each arm. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. There is incrustation on the surface which could be removed. The piece is generally in good condition save that the ends of the arms are worn or broken. It is a rare type.'; (T-457) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 21 x 20 x 12 mm. This has a round, flat face with notched edge, and flat back on which is mounted a loop handle. The design on the face, which is cut into the surface, shows a heraldic eagle: head sideways on top, wings spread, and tail feathers down. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. There is some incrustation on the surface, which could be removed, but generally it is in fair condition, and is a fine example of its type.'; (U-513) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 24 x 23 x 12 mm. This has a round flat face and a back which rises to the base of a button which is pierced for suspension. The design on the face shows a horse with head down and a Greek inscription above it: ??????[?] Of the king. This comes from west central Asia and is to be dated to the Bactrian dynasty, c. 300-100 B.C. It is in good condition. (U-458) A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 33 x 31 x 7 mm. This is roughly square, with flat face and flat back, on which is mounted a handle of strip metal. The design is compartmented and consists of a simple cross dividing the square into four smaller squares, in each of which is a central small circle surrounded by a zig-zag square. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is a less common type, and though it is bent, it is otherwise in quite good condition.'; (D-9) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 55 x 55 x 16 mm. This is round, with flat face and back, the design being openwork and compartmented. There is a stout loop handle like an inverted V on the back. The design consists of five loops starting from a very short strut on the central small circle, four of which then support each two outer loops, one on each arm, joining up to the outer band. The fifth inner loop supports only one such outer loop. A simple band surrounds the whole. This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2300-2000 B.C. It is in very good condition, only the outer band being slightly dented.'; (W-143) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 24 x 23 x 15 mm. This is a thick disc with flat face and back, on which is mounted a handle of sheet metal with two grooves over it. The design consists of a central globe surrounded by a looping line and in the gaps between the loops and the outer rim a smaller globe is placed (one now missing"). This comes from west central Asia and dates to c. 2100-1800 B.C. It is a less common type and the metal is sound, while the seal is generally in fair condition.'; (V-280) 'A Stamp Seal of Bronze, 24 x 25 x 9 mm. This is a round flat disc with a piece of pierced strip metal mounted on the back as a handle. The design on the face shows a symbol in the middle like a spear-head, and to each side a standing figure holding a rod or weapon in one hand. The one figure has a normal head, the other what seems to be the head of a horned animal. This comes from west central Asia and is a little known type and so difficult to date, but c. 500 B.C. to 200 A.D. is most probably the correct range.' 105 grams total, 20-31mm (3/4 -1"). The Signo collection, the property of a West London businessman, formed in the late 1980s-early 1990s; academically researched and catalogued by the late Professor Lambert in the early 1990s. [10] Fine condition.

1988 BMW 635 CSIRegistration no. F828 MLTChassis no. WBAEC820508187873Odometer: 230700MOT: 01/11/2020*Good Example*Comes with MoT*Good Service HistoryThe 6-Series remains a favourite not only with dedicated BMW enthusiasts but those who appreciate a true latter-day grand tourer. Hailing from the same era as Jaguar's XJ-S and the Porsche 928, the '6' more than amply followed in the wheel tracks of its E9 3.0CSi predecessor, winning loyal followers across the globe. The UK proved a large market and today's classic market rates the model highly and MPH is delighted to offer this fine 1988 automatic-transmission 635CSi model, which comes with very good history. The vendor tells us the engine was replaced with a genuine BMW exchange unit in 2004 (with the engine bill on file) and is said to start and run very well. All other mechanical components are also in very good order. The bodywork is in very good order, showing extremely good panel fit and shut lines, and the light metallic blue paintwork presents extremely well too, as does the glass while the engine bay has been well-maintained. Interior-wise the grey leather seats are very tidy and free of neglect, as is the carpet, while the dashboard and trim are crack- and damage-free. MPH is pleased to offer this fine 635, and while there is a healthy supply of examples available, finding a good one is trickier. Here is a well-presented, well cared-for example with good history. It is sure to appeal to the discerning 1980s grand tourer enthusiast.With good-condition bodywork and paint, a good interior and genuine BMW replacement engine in 2004, here is a highly tempting example of the bigger-engined 6-series.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 80/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.
