Harrap, 1934-1936-1938Footnotes:FINELY BOUND WARTIME PRESENTATION COPIES FROM CHURCHILL TO HIS BANK MANGER T.E.R. HARRIS.This and the following 5 lots were all given by Churchill to his manager and adviser at the Pall Mall branch of Lloyds bank in London, during a five year period from 1943 to 1948. As is well documented in No More Champagne: Churchill and his Money by David Lough (Head of Zeus, 2015), Churchill often found his finances in a precarious position despite lucrative book deals, and he turned to Harris for advice on several occasions. One of these occasions was in 1943, just before Churchill attended the Quebec Conference, when he was negotiating the film rights to Marlborough with Sir Alexander Korda and MGM. As the bidding was being pushed up, it was decided to obtain tax advice from Lloyds and Harris was consulted. As it happened, Harris was acquainted with the well-known and rather eccentric film producer Filippo Del Giudice ('Mr Del' as he was known), who at around the same time was in mid-production on Laurence Olivier's film of Henry V, which Churchill asked to be fashioned as a piece of morale-boosting propaganda for British troops. This may have helped Del Giudice, backed by J. Arthur Rank and his own production company Two Cities, to secure the rights to Marlborough, for a staggering £50,000. Although Marlborough was destined never to be made, the deal transformed Churchill's finances and allowed him to open negotiations to buy back the rights to the History of the English-Speaking Peoples.Provenance: T.E.R.

Dickens had requested the title be printed in red and green with green endpapers to match, but he was disappointed with the appearance of the green printing. The title was subsequently printed in red and blue, the title-page date changed to 1843 (rather than the gift book convention of using the following year's date), and the green endpapers replaced with yellow ones. However, the sheets continued to be issued in various combinations with no clear priority.With Scrooge as is central character, A Christmas Carol was published on 19 December 1843, at 5s. 'Its popularity was extraordinary and by every post he received letters from complete strangers, telling him about their home and hearths, and how this same 'Carol' was read aloud there, and kept on a little shelf by itself' (Kitton, Minor Writings, p.34). It ran through fourteen editions between 1843 and 1860, with the text comparatively unchanged and printed from the same original setting of type.Provenance: 'From McGoff/ 27.3.1929', loosely inserted note in Collis's hand.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Seymour, R.W. Buss and Hablot K. Browne ('Phiz'), occasional foxing, publisher's pictorial blue wrappers, some parts with contents loose or inserted, some spines repaired (see footnote), all within additional paper wrappers annotated by Collis, with further loose notes, a letter from Thomas Hatton and some spare oddments, preserved in green cloth solander box with gilt lettered spine [Eckel, Prime Pickwicks in Parts; Hatton & Cleaver pp.3-88; Miller & Strange, A Centenary Bibliography of the Pickwick Papers], 8vo, Chapman and Hall, April 1836-November 1837Footnotes:W.H. COLLIS'S 'SECOND SET' OF PICKWICK IN THE ORIGINAL PARTS. All the text, illustrations and wrappers are present in first and early issues and states, part 9 onwards being largely first issues. Except for those in part 1, the plates are all in varying states of the first issue, whilst the text in parts 11-19/20 is first issue, and the remainder later. The wrappers are all dated 1836 except for part 18 (1837, no priority); of these parts 9-19/20 are the first issue as in Hatton & Cleaver, while parts 1 and 6 are later issues with the 'Crusader' advertisement on the inside front wrapper, and parts 2-5 and 7-8 are early issues. 'The Pickwick Advertiser' is present in parts 9-19 (not present in parts 4-8) and parts 8 and 11-19/20 have the rear advertisements where called for. The Addresses are present as called for in parts 10, 15, 17, 18, 19/20, whilst those for parts 2 and 3 are supplied amongst the loose spare parts.The publication history of 'Pickwick' is notoriously complicated. Only about 400 sets of part 1 were issued on the day of publication, from a print-run of 1000, and subsequently only 500 sets of part 2 were printed, explaining its rarity in early form. Both eventually sold out, necessitating reprints of both parts before publication of part 3. The text to parts 1-8 was reprinted many times very quickly, leading to textual variations with older plates having to be re-etched. As the work's popularity increased advertisements were swapped and added - all of which led to a complex series of issue points for text, plates and advertisements, making it impossible for collectors to find a complete original set.As was common practice for Collis and collectors of his generation, the present set was painstakingly assembled, largely deriving from two sets described on Collis's additional wrappers as 'Lot 84' and 'Coumin'. A letter from Hatton and Collis's draft reply (loose in part 12) gives a fascinating glimpse as to how sets of Pickwick were made up and business transacted, Hatton writing 'Can you help me out of a hole? I sold when last in Los Angeles, a copy of Pickwick. It was lacking the No.2 Slip in Part 9, and the Advertiser in Part 12. I gave a solemn undertaking to supply these two missing items within a short time... I want to go out again at the end of January, but I dare not show my face without my having fulfilled my bargain... If you have not got spares, I wondered if you would loan me these two items from your spare set... under a penalty of some fixed sum you like to name'. Collis's draft notes confirm that he could help on one of the two counts: 'I should be pleased to let you have on loan out of my 2nd. set... Part 12 [which] will have to be taken to pieces. If you approve I propose to send this part to Morrell to be dissected, the Advertiser to be forwarded to yourself & the rest retd here. Morrell will debit you with his charges'. Hatton was given a year to send a replacement, which he presumably did as it is present here, presumably having been inserted by Morrell.Notes on individuals partsPart 1: plates later issues; without advertisements; text block loose in 'Crusader issue' wrappers (added to set 1933, spine repaired). Part 2: wrappers without Seymour's name on front, both blank on inside. Part 3: with Buss plates; without advertisements and address; wrappers without Buss's name on front, both blank on inside.

BIBLE, in LatinManuscript on vellum, 308 (of 310) leaves, plus one paper flyleaf, text in 2 columns, each of 60 lines, numerous decorative initials, modern pencil foliation (followed here), early eighteenth-century panelled vellum gilt, title in later manuscript to spine, recent endpapers, folio (301 x 202mm.), [England or Northern France, mid-thirteenth century]Footnotes:An impressive large format thirteenth-century Bible, substantially complete, with an early English provenance (probably London) and extensive medieval annotation. The folio size and the multiple annotations suggests that this was a study bible associated with a religious house rather than a book for personal reading and devotion, while the ownership inscription of Thomas Graunt (d. 1474) may place it successively at St. Paul's (London) and (possibly) Syon Abbey in the fifteenth century.Text: The Old and New Testaments in the Latin Vulgate version, with the Psalms and the Prologues of Saint Jerome. Following the first of these prologues the book of Genesis begins on f. 2v; the Psalms on 231 and the Gospels on 249. It is textually almost complete, except for the loss of two leaves towards the end: one after the current f. 275 with part of John 20 from chapter 17 (immediately after 'noli me tangere') to chapter 21 and most of Acts chapter I; and another after f. 277 with Acts chapter 8. 32 to chapter 12.Decoration: 71 decorative initials of four to six lines, in red, blue and green with additional penwork, often with 'puzzle' ornament, many with extended bar borders; numerous two-line initials with penwork decoration; initials, running title and chapter numbering in red and blue; regular red and blue capitals. The first two leaves of the text bear additional (perhaps slightly later) ascending 'standard' ornaments in brown ink in the lower margins.Glosses and annotation: A few leaves have early glosses in small, neat hand, but these have in some case been cropped with some loss of words and sense. Elsewhere is a range of different Latin annotations in ink and leadpoint in numerous medieval hands, some of which are recognisably English, probably ranging in date from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries. Some are neat and formal, others hasty and untidy. Some are now faint, especially those in leadpoint, but most are decipherable. There is also a range of textual markers in the form of neumes and extended brackets, some of which may be very early. The final two leaves bear more extensive notes in fourteenth or fifteenth century hands, including a diagrammatic list of contents and other biblical explanations. There are attractive thumbnail drawings of ships to two borders and various other doodles. Overall, the annotations give the impression of a book well-used over a long period of time in specialist theological environments.Condition: The book has been cropped, perhaps more than once, for rebinding. The upper margins have suffered most, with some running headlines cropped or, in some cases lost. The outer and lower margins bearing most of the annotation have survived better, though here again the earlier annotations are partially affected and a few decorative bar borders are truncated at their foot. There are signs of some further annotations to the inner margins, though these are occasionally obscured and perhaps cropped closest to the gutter. There are numerous parchment repairs, usually marginal, probably dating from the modern era or perhaps the time of binding in the early eighteenth century, and only occasionally affect the text itself. In approximately 40 cases there has been significant repair to corners or entire margins by replacing or adding strips of parchment.Provenance: Whether the book's origins were in France or England, it was in England by the fifteenth century. The thirteenth-century colophon includes the text: 'Hec est bibliotheca thome [...]' with a surname scraped away and the name 'Graunt' added in a fifteenth-century hand. This is almost certainly Thomas Graunt (?1425-1474), theologian, fellow of Oriel College, Oxford and later treasurer of St. Paul's, London. It is possible that this bible was therefore among the books he bequeathed to Syon Abbey on his death, though it has remained unrecognised as such. The later paper flyleaf, contemporary with the binding, bears an elaborate inscription recording the later gift of the book by John Grove to the grammar school at Southton (Southampton) in 1708, and the school's engraved bookplate is on the reverse. Grove was a prominent merchant and burgess of the city and was its mayor in 1726. The binding is probably contemporary with Grove's ownership or donation.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

While the final number of Pickwick was quickly being bought up from the bookseller's stalls, and Oliver Twist was highlighting the pages of Bentley's Miscellany, the young novelist signed a contract in November with Chapman and Hall to produce a manuscript for another serial tale beginning the following March. The new work was published in the same manner and form as Pickwick, but Dickens received ten times the amount per number—a healthy £150—as he received for his first novel. The first number, which appeared in April 1838, sold over 48,000 copies.... Nicholas Nickleby clearly shows Dickens's maturing power.... With the good-natured yet temperamental Nickleby providing the story's dramatic center, Dickens learned how to weave parallel plots into a unified structure, completing his transition from journalist to novelist' (Grolier, Essential Parts p.14.)This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
