(Qty: 10)NOTESThe White Album leading this attractive lot of Beatles albums is a true first pressing, which was only available in UK stores for barely a week. When this album was released, pressings were being shifted from Parlophone to Apple labels and some mistakes were made. Whoever was in charge "forgot" to put "An EMI Recording" on any of the White Album's labels, thus constituting a clear copyright violation. Only five days after production started, on 27th November 1968, officials corrected that error and were most probably unaware of the fact that by doing so they created a highly sought-after collector item, namely a "true first press variation". The labels on this copy do not carry the "An EMI Recording", confirming this record was manufactured in the first five days of production. This album was the first The Beatles undertook following the death of their manager Brian Epstein. Originally entitled "A Doll's House", the title was changed when the British progressive rock band Family released the similarly titled "Music in a Doll's House" earlier that year.

Fine copy of the first edition of Lansberg's astronomical tables, published five years after Kepler's Rudolphine Tables, which were based on elliptical orbits. Although a staunch Copernican, Lansberg dismissed Kepler's elliptical model and relied instead on the more traditional epicyclic theory and his own observations of the sun and moon. Lansberg's simpler method was widely adopted in the 1630's until his projections were found to be generally less accurate than Kepler's. The Tabulae were used however by the brilliant young English astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks to observe the Transit of Venus in December 1639, which Lansberg had correctly predicted, leading to a revision of Kepler's own tables.

Sadr al-Shari'ah al-Asghar al-Mahbubi was an influential legal scholar from Central Asia who died in Bukhara, modern-day Uzbekistan. His Tanqih al-Usul, a synthesis of Hanafi and Maliki legal writing, marked a significant new development in Islamic jurisprudence but has been overlooked by modern scholarship (see Al-Azem, Rule-Formulation and Binding Precedent in the Madhhab-Law Tradition , p. 79). At least the first section of the second item (the 'Hikmet-nama', i.e. 'Book of maxims' or 'Book of wisdom') appears to be from the encyclopaedic Javedan-nama by Persian author Baba Afzal al-Din (d.1213/14; see Mosannafat, Tehran, 1952, p. 289).

* Minto (Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, 1st Earl of, 1751-1814).

Minto was governor-general of Bengal from 1807 to 1813. His memorandum is a magisterial critique of Malcolm's conduct during his abortive mission to Fath Ali Shah Qajar, which was intended to mitigate the Franco-Russian threat created by the treaty of Tilsit. Minto was dismayed by Malcolm's insistence on the expulsion of the French mission, remarking, ‘I cannot help regretting that you should have judged it advisable to adopt the principle of intimidation’. There is another copy in the India Office Records (BL, IOC, Fac. Rec. Persia 25) and extracts have been quoted in secondary literature, but it does not seem to have been published in full. Bosanquet (second item) was chairman of the East India Company three times: in 1798, 1803 and 1811 (see The India List and India Office List for 1905 , p. 110).

Napier's annexation of Sind territory was criticised by Gladstone's cabinet and many Company directors, and remains one the most contentious episodes in the history of British involvement in India. Sir Henry Bunbury, 7th Baronet, of Barton Hall near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, was a prominent soldier and politician, and in his retirement an acclaimed military historian. He married Napier's sister Emily, his second wife, in 1830.
