Exhibit P60.Arthur Ball Smalley was born in London around 1841 and initially worked in the city before relocating to St. John, New Brunswick Canada in 1870 to marry one of the residents, Deborah Tucker May. May was originally from Nova Scotia and was about nine years Smalley's junior; although she describes herself as English, it does not seem that she had ever been to the U.K. before her marriage, which raises the question of how she met Smalley. Interestingly, it states that Smalley's 'point of origin' was Massachusetts; perhaps this was where his ship docked, and he travelled up to New Brunswick from there, or he may have initially established himself in Massachusetts and met May there?Smalley described himself as a jeweller throughout his career, the British Horological Institute noted that he was 'a leading watchmaker of St. John's, New Brunswick', though it remains unknown to which Company, if any, he served his apprenticeship. He was an occasional contributor to the Horological Journal, particularly as regards chronometers, with which he seemed to have a particular interest. In 1876, he submitted a model of a new marine chronometer balance to the British Horological Institute; it comprised of a backwards Z-shaped balance wheel, with both sections of the arm at right angles to each other. In 1881, the family was living at 201 Douglas Ave. and it seems likely that the shop was located in a different building. This was certainly the case by 1894, where the shop address was listed as 91 Prince William St. Smalley and May would have seven children including Arthur Cobden, who would become a jeweller as well, and it seems carry on the work in the shop. By 1901, the shop had been renamed from A.B. Smalley to A. B. Smalley & Son.It is unknown when Smalley died, both he and May were still living in 1917, and attended one of their children's weddings. It is tentatively suggested that they had both died by 1928, though this is far from certain. No records can be found of Arthur Cobden after about 1913; whether he died or simply moved out of New Brunswick is unknown. It is known, however, that the shop at 91 Prince William Street ceased trading in 1919; after this date it became a chocolate makers and then a spice shop. In 2008, the shop gained listed status in New Brunswick and remains famous, among other things, for being the site of Smalley's Jewellery.John Richard Lund (c.1806-78) took out Patent number 9969 in 1843 as part of the effort to combat the problems caused by middle temperature error in marine chronometers. Essentially, the correcting weight which was attached to the balance had a secondary compensating feature comprising of a bimetallic curb connected to weight held internally on a pivoted arm. The effect of this device under heat was to alter the radius of gyration in a non-linear fashion. The beauty of the design is that these correcting weights could be placed on balances 'after market'. An excellent coloured drawing of his set-up is illustrated in Betts (2017) 'Marine Chronometers at Greenwich', OUP, Figure 4.47.4. The current lot has a similar bimetallic curb attached to both weights, each terminating in a gold screw. Beta (1902) 'Jottings', The Horological Journal, Vol. 44 (11), pg. 149.Smalley, A. B.

Bible, Dominican Use, in Latin. Illuminated manuscript on vellum, [France: probably Paris, c. 1240], iii + III (original vellum) + 496 + II (original vellum) + iii leaves, ruled for two columns of 50 lines (c. 110 × 70 mm), written below top line in minute gothic script (with nearly 5 lines per centimetre); ILLUMINATED WITH A FOLIATE INITIAL TO EACH BOOK, and to the seven usual divisions of the Psalms, OFTEN INCORPORATING A DRAGON, BIRD, LION, OR OTHER ANIMAL, with similar smaller initials to each prologue, about 150 in all, chapter initials with extensive pen-work, marginal chapter numbers in alternate blue and red characters often similarly adorned, running titles also in red and blue; the corrosive green pigment used for the bounding lines of the Genesis initial caused natural corrosion, repaired on the reverse of the leaf; sporadic minor blemishes, very rarely affecting text or decoration, a few areas of blank margin excised, marbled endpapers, burgundy morocco gilt bookplate of W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey to front pastedown, all edges gilt, 19th-century burgundy velvet, the front cover with gilt metal ornaments with an inset rectangular modern colour illustration of an ivory Madonna and Child plaque, upper joint cracked, lacking clasps, 8vo (160 × 119 mm)QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance:1: Probably made for a Dominican Friar in Paris: the table of readings includes Dominic’s feast (f. 2r, last line of 2nd column), and the calendar includes both his main feast (5 August) and the translation of his relics, which took place in 1233 (24 May), highly graded; his main feast also has an octave (12 August)2: ? Enrico Mylius (1769–1854): from the ‘Museo Mylius’, according to an inserted note dated at Genoa, 16 May 1880, and signed by:3: Tereza Serafino, Antiquario4. Sotheby’s, 3 June 1946, lot 187, with a clipping from the catalogue loosely inserted; doubtless bought by:5. W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey (bookplate).Apparently complete, the collation is difficult to ascertain due to tightness of the binding, but based on visible sewing threads, vestiges of leaf signatures, and some quires marked ‘cor’ on their final verso to record that the text has been corrected, it appears that the first quire is of four leaves, the next two of 24 each, and most of the others of 26 leaves.Added note in 15th-century Humanistic script beginning ‘Maior est scripture huius auctoritas quam omni humani generis capacitas …’ (f. I verso); added 15th-century extracts from Gregory’s Moralia in Job (f. III verso); table of Epistle and Gospel readings for the year (f. 1r); Calendar, with Dominican feasts (f. 3v); General prologue (f. 5r), prologue to the Pentateuch (f. 7v), and Genesis (f. 8r), followed by all the usual books and prologues of the Old and New Testaments; the Apocalypse followed without break by the Interpretations of Hebrew Names, in the usual version from ‘Aaz’ to ‘Zuzim’; added notes (final medieval flyleaves) include a quotation from Hilary De trinitate, and a list of the Books of the Bible with their Hebrew names and the number of chapters in each (first back flyleaf).This is a fine example of a typical ‘Paris’ Bible, arguably the greatest revolution in both biblical scholarship and book production of the 13th century. Through the development of extremely thin vellum and extremely small script, it became possible for the first time, in the early decades of the 13th century, to produce a complete Bible in a single easily portable volume. This development came soon after the standardisation of the ‘Paris’ edition of the text, which combined the recently-introduced chapter numbers with a canonical selection of biblical books and prologues; the incorporation, as standard, of such ancillary textual features as the Interpretations of Hebrew Names; and the abandonment of others, such as capitula lists and canon tables, which are frequently found in 12th-century Bibles. The production of large numbers of these Bibles was probably in response both to the needs of students at the burgeoning university of Paris, and also of the mendicant (itinerant) friars, for whom portability was essential; when such Bibles include calendars (or other liturgical material) it is usually Franciscan or Dominican.The present Bible must date from after the 1233 feast of St Dominic, which is included in the calendar, but probably not much later: one of the developments in page layout that took place in the 1240s was that the chapter numbers were relocated within the main columns of text, rather than placed in the margins (as in the present example).
