Eshton Hall Library Catalogue. Catalogue of the Library at Eshton Hall, in the County of York, pub. Robert Triphook, 1820, 308pp., occasional additional manuscript entries, stitches broken at front, one or two spots, original calf-backed boards, rubbed, 8vo. Rare and important presentation copy, inscribed to front endpaper: ÒSir William Ingilby Bart. With Miss Currer’s compts.Ó Additionally inscribed beneath: ÒMat: Wilson Esq., Brother of Miss Currer, told me that a copy of this catalogue was sold at an auction for five guineas. H.J. Ingilby, Jan: 1860Ó. One of only 40 copies. Mary Frances Richardson Currer (1785-1861) amassed a great library of some 18,000 books at Eshton Hall, Craven in Yorkshire, based on the collection she inherited from her great-grandfather, Richard Richardson (1663-1741) of Brierley Hall, near Bradford. As such, she has claim to be England’s earliest and greatest female bibliophile. Leading a secluded life at Eshton, she immersed herself in books, and Thomas Dibden, one of the few literary figures of the day to visit Eshton, wrote: ÒI may fairly and honestly say, that with the exception of Althorpe, Chatsworth and Stowe, I know of no such collection of books situated in the country which can pretend to break a lance with itÓ. It is most likely that Charlotte Bronte took the surname Currer as her nom de plume’s first name, as she was governess at nearby Sidgwicks, and probably had access to the Eshton Library. A revised edition (only 100 copies) of this catalogue was published in 1833, with most of the books auctioned by Sotheby’s in 1862, realising £6,000. (1)

NOTTINGHAM MANUSCRIPT. MR [WILLIAM] STRETTON`S REPORT UPON THE PLUMPTRE HOSPITAL ESTATE 1819 survey of the Estate with detailed descriptions of the buildings,their condition, tenants and estimates of the cost of improvement or rebuilding, written in ink on quires (245 x 190mm) by Stretton or his assistant, marbled boards with title label (worn), two other items of Nottingham interest comprising the Schedule of William Scott`s Petition of Bankruptcy 1846, an apprenticeship Indenture, 1815 and a printed Navy Fiver percent Annunity for £1000, 1814 (4) Rare, since most if not all of the papers which survive of the collector of the well-known Stretton Manuscripts (Nottingham 1910) are held by Nottinghamshire Archives. The architect-builders William Stretton (1755-1828) and his father Samuel (1731 or 32-1802) were highly influential in the development of the Nottingham townscape during the second half of the 18th c and Regency. This success enabled William Stretton to indulge his antiquarian interests to the full. He created a private museum in his house, the neo-gothic Lenton Priory, which he opened to other antiquaries, and collected minerals, medieval tiles, coins and objets de vertu. The Plumptre Hospital was founded by John de Plumptre in 1392 and the charity is still in existence. His house was on the site of the Flying Horse Hotel and it is not surprising that it is this building in The Poultry which is the first in Stretton`s Report. He comments that it is "the third in respectability in the Town", that he had rebuilt half of the "very ancient" building in about 1784 and that the other half "still ought to be taken down and rebuilt" (at a cost of £1,465). He added that there is "a great want of stabling" at the inn and that building rooms for soldiers over the stables would add £140 to the cost.

Collected into English meeter by Thomas Sternhold, John Hopkins and others, black letter, text in two columns, title within woodcut border, large woodcut initial letter at head of first psalm, some with music, ending with a final MS leaf of "The Psalmes Digested into a breefe Table... accordinge to... Mr Beza", London: Printed for the Companie of Stationers, 1620, two works in one volumne, 8vo (195 x 147mm) contemporary calf centrepiece binding (worn, frayed and wanting spine) tooled in blind with frame and fleurons Provenance: B[arnabas] Pool, Rector of Brailsford (ownership inscription on end pastedown). According to Lichfield Diocesan Registers, Barnabas Pole was given the living of Brailsford, Derbyshire on 18 June 1668, which he held until his death on 6 December 1698. On his monument in the church, his name is spelt Poole and the stone lintel over the door of the early 16th c (former) rectory at Brailsford is inscribed "Restored by/Rev`d J G Croker/1883/Rev`d B Pool/1682". Several of the sermons share titles with those of Immanuel Bourne (1590-1679) whose published sermons appeared between 1617 and the mid 17th c. A preacher at St Christopher`s Church, London, he held the living of the nearby parish of Ashover from 1622 until his pronounced sympathies for the Puritan cause compelled him to return to London on the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642. There he was appointed preacher at St Sepulchre`s Church. Whilst it is conceivable that the present lot is Bourne`s own preaching manuscript, Pool could well have obtained it from a scribe, who carefully copied at least some of Bourne`s published sermons. Hardly any manuscript material by Bourne is known to have survived other than two hastily written letters to Sir John Gell, 1st Baronet (1593-1671) of Hopton Hall (Derbyshire Record Office) and his signature on a document dating from the end of his life (British Library).

He was killed in action on 6 November 1914 and left an estate of £325,000. 516. WORLD WAR TWO. THE AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT WAR DIARY OF THOMAS CLORAN, RAF WHEN A PRISONER OF WAR IN STALAG LUFT VII written in soft pencil (subsequently carefully written over in black ink by his wife) in a Wartime Log for British Prisoners issued by the YMCA, 116 pages (170 x 120mm) illustrated with drawings of camp life and his German identity card, an account of his bailing out of a burning Lancaster over France, capture and arrival at the camp, followed by occasional entries from 22 August 1944-22 April 1945 and the following few days, the last two leaves with details of his fellow allied prisoners, with his group of three campaign medals comprising 1939-1945 Star, Air Crew Europe Star and War Medal, in franked card box of issue, a wristwatch and album of press cuttings An extraordinary account of life in Stalag Luft VII in the closing months of the war. Thomas Henry Cloran (1913-1981) volunteered for the RAF in 1939. He was the navigator on board a blazing Lancaster bomber over France and bailed out at 02.15 hrs on 31 May 1944. Before doing so he noticed another of the crew who was crouching in the aircraft`s nose and had no parachute. Although both men were severely burned, Cloran told him to cling to his waist and they would jump together. Tragically the man eventually lost his grip and fell to his death. Two French women sheltered Cloran but, realising that he needed life saving treatment, handed him over to a German medical unit. In later life Cloran sought out the surviving woman, then of great age, who had been ostracised by her village in the mistaken belief that she had collaborated with the Germans over his arrest. A deeply religious man, he was born at Royton, Lancashire and as a young man moved to Bletchley, Herfordshire where he managed a butcher`s shop for the local Co-Op. Stalag Luft VII was opened in 1944 in what is now Poland. In September of that year the 230 RAF crew were joined by men captured at the Battle or Arnhem. On 19 January 1945, with the approach of the Red Army the Germans marched the by then 1500 prisoners, including Cloran, west, crossing the Oder and on 5 February put them on a train to Stalag III-A. There 20,000 allied prisoners were liberated by the Russians.

Introd. & Walzer; No.15. Ländler; [No.16]. Erinerung an St Petersburg. No.1 and 15 have similarities to pieces with the same titles in the preceding lot, and are possibly solo versions of the same pieces, although passages in the first are marked "Accompagnement". The final piece was also arranged by Darr as a guitar duet. .

At the end there are his autograph manuscript drafts for a song acompanied by the guitar and a guitar duet, 9pp., the first with dedication to Signor Bonaccia and his sister (another dedication to Luigi Mosca of Naples dedicatee of the Romanzo Caspriccioso, has been deleted); and manuscript music in a different hand, 7pp., for Le Postillion Musard and five other pieces. Toby decribes himself as a "Professeur de la langue Espagnole", but his music appears to be totally unrecorded. It seems likely that the volume was originally owned by the composer. Of the other pieces locations have only been found for one other copy of the Giuliani Trois Rondeaux. Giuliana no.14; and the Molino piece.

William Rose Bock (1847-1932) - a fine presentation illuminated scroll gifted To His Royal Highness Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII) upon the Royal Tour to New Zealand in 1920, signed in ink by `W F Massey` ("Farmer Bill" - William Ferguson Massey, Prime Minister 1912-1925) on behalf of His Majesty`s Ministers for the Dominion of New Zealand dated 24th Day of April, 1920, surmounted by The Prince of Wales crest, written in manuscript and decorated in watercolour with circular and oval vignettes depicting titled New Zealand landmarks with gilt Maori pediment embellishments, comprising `Mount Egmont`, `Wanganui River`, `Mitre Peak`, `Mount Cook`, `Lake Wakatipu`, `Wairoa Geyser`, `Wairoa Falls` and `Lake Taupo`, signed W R Bock delt, in a 9ct gold mount, later modern gilt frame, scroll 18" x 13" The text of this address is published in the official records of the visit by the Prince. The record also indicated that the address was originally issued in a casket made of New Zealand woods and included an historic green stone Tiki, sadly separated and missing from the scroll. *William Rose Bock was born in Hobart, Van Dieman`s Land (Tasmania), by then in his 70`s he was entrusted with the commission to draw this scroll as a result of his expertise in calligraphy and miniature painting, his artistic flair was demonstrated in his work as a medalist, stamp designer, engraver and illuminator. His work as an illuminator included two jubilee addresses to Queen Victoria and other addresses to Pope Pius IX and other visiting members of the Royal family.
Osbaldeston Mitford (Colonel John Philip) `From Northumbria to Rome MDCCCLXVII`, a manuscript account of a journey, 4to, sealskin gilt, g.e., slipcase, c. 260pp., illustrated with drawings, watercolours, photographs and postcards, [1867]. A lively account of the Grand Tour, made between January and May 1867, full of detailed descriptions of both places and people, often with an eye for the comic, including an account of the great 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris. On 30 January 1867, John Philip Osbaldeston Mitford (1809-1895), of Mitford Hall, Northumberland, left London for France accompanied by his wife Sybilla and `Mistress M`, a female relative, together with a maid and an Italian courier, Signor Carenco. His account of the journey is divided into eight sections: the first about the journey to Rome, the second about Rome itself, with further sections about Naples, Florence, Venice, Milan, Turin and the return journey including Paris. The journey to Rome includes descriptions of Paris, Marseilles, Cannes, Menton (`one of the most lovely spots in Christendom`), Savona, Genoa, Pisa, Livorno and Civitavecchia, while the section on Naples includes descriptions of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. As well as lengthy accounts of the buildings and works of art, there are descriptions of the lottery being drawn and gaming in the streets of Rome, of eating frogs` legs for the first time in Turin, `We made a desperate attempt to enjoy it, but it was "no go". We tried to persuade ourselves that it was like baby chickens, ducks or rabbits... but frogs is frogs and nothing else, so, revenons à nos cotelettes`. This episode is accompanied by a watercolour of `poor froggy` losing his legs, one of a number of similarly humorous illustrations. There are also several watercolour views, including ones of the English cemetery in Rome and Vesuvius, and a few fine early albumen prints of peasants and their animals. The tour ends in Paris not long after the opening of the Exposition Universelle, which they visited on several occasions and oversaw the setting-up of the stand of `our Cheltenham brother`. Mitford concludes his journal with a section on the expense of the trip, which came to a total of £550, but explains how the same journey could be made more cheaply. He cautions against expecting home comforts, `if they expect that the wretched `bûche` is to warm them up like the coal from Newcastle on Tyne... they will assuredly be disappointed`, and ends by comparing three table d`hôte menus in Milan and Rome with one at a `first rate English country house`, Alnwick Castle.
Hammond (Susan) Commonplace book, containing poems, watercolour, pencilled sketches, maps etc., 4to, c. 100pp., leather-backed marbled boards, [Jersey, c. 1822]. This commonplace book bears the inscription `Jersey, Susan Hammond, 1822`. It also contains a manuscript map of Jersey, as well as a pencilled sketch of `Mount Orgueil Castle with Grouville Church`. The other illustrations include watercolours of flowers, birds and soldiers, caricatures, pencilled sketches and two charming series of stick-figures, entitled `The Airs and Graces of an Assembly` and `Country Courtship`. The texts include several poems (`Ode to the Poppy`, `Evening`, `Music`, `On Quadrille`, `Waltzing`), an excerpt in French from `Otello` and `Epitaph` [on a donkey] by `the late Dr Jenner`. There are also some verses and pencilled sketch of Cumnor Hall. Susan Hammond was very likely the sister of John Hammond (1801-1880) who was born in St Helier, the son of Jacques Lempriere Hammond and Rachel Durell. The Hammonds were seigneurs de Samarès from the mid-18th century.
