After 111 years of continuous publication, the Journal ceased publication in 1931 in the wake of the world economic crisis. An old typed catalogue index card for the set indicates that the three missing volumes in the sequence (i.e. vols. 69, 261 and 270) have been missing for some time, although the same index card records the presence of 3 further folio vols. at the end of the run (1909-11) which are not here present. The first of the 2 index volumes, dated 1843, covers vols. 1 - 78; the second, dated 1853, covers vols. 79 - 118. Kirchner 3940; Poggendorff I, 573. Sold as a periodical, not subject to return.

‘the imagination of a very intelligent mental patient’             927      FREUD SIGMUND: (1856-1939) Austrian Neurologist, the father of Psychoanalysis. A fine A.L.S., Freud, one page, large 4to, Vienna, 16th March 1934, to a Director, in German. Freud informs his correspondent that the work of Hans Sperber Uber den Einfluss sexueller Momente auf Enstehung und Entwicklung der Sprache ('On the influence of Sexual Moments on the Origin and Development of Language') was published in 1912 in the first volume of the periodical Imago, and remarks 'Most likely special copies of this article don't exist but I think if you contact the "Internat. Psychoanalytischen Verlag" (Vienna I….) you can get the copy or the periodical'. Freud further writes that 'The "Grundsprache" [basic language] of which I will talk below, is the imagination of a very intelligent mental patient [Schreber], whose autobiography provided me with the content for a study ["Vier psychoanalyt. Krankengeschichten"] ('Four psychoanalytical Case Histories, 1932). This article was translated in the "Revue Française de Psychoanalyse" V. No 1, 1932 (Denoel et Steele, Editeurs, Paris'. A letter of interesting content. Some light age wear and minor creasing, largely to the edges, and a few small, neat splits at the edges of the folds, a few neatly repaired to the verso. About VG     Hans Sperber (1885-1963) German linguist. Early in his career Sperber worked in the vicinity of Freud and this influenced his main research interests which lay in the history of language and the theory or psychology of language. Sperber's article On the influence of Sexual Moments on the Origin and Development of Language, as referred to in Freud's letter, was indeed published in Imago, the psychoanalytic journal founded by Freud, and advocates the thesis that 'the original words all denoted sexual things and then lost that sexual meaning by moving on to other things and activities that were compared to the sexual ones'.

A REGENCY MAHOGANY EXTENDING DINING TABLEBY MORGAN AND SANDERS, CIRCA 1815The inscribed end handle titled 'Patent, Morgan & Sanders, Inventors & Manufacturers, 16 & 17 Catherine Street, Strand, London', with three additional leaf insertions76cm high, 123cm wide, 305cm long (when fully extended)For a related extending dining table by Morgan & Sanders and formerly part of the Norman Adams collection incorporating a near identical engraved handle see Christopher Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840, Furniture History Society and W. S. Maney and Sons Ltd, 1996, page 345, figures 666 and 667. For another dining table by Morgan and Sanders and bearing similarly engraved makers plates/ handles, see Christie's, London, Important English Furniture & Clocks, 4th June 2009, Lot 10 (£20,000). Much is known about the business of Morgan & Sanders because of their involvement with Rudolph Ackermann, print seller, art dealer and publisher of the Strand. For his monthly periodical 'The Repository of Arts' they supplied a succession of furniture designs which were published between 1809 and 1815. They had by this date named their premises 'Trafalgar House' to capitalize on the death of the naval hero Lord Nelson for whom they were providing furniture for his house at Merton, Surrey in 1805. The partner's claim to have supplied furniture to Nelson is supported by a payment of £549 in 1810 to Morgan & Co, from money provided by the Marquess of Queensbury to clear part of the debts of Lady Hamilton who had inherited Nelson's house at Merton. In the Repository of February 1810 the partners claimed to have supplied their Pitt's Globe Writing Table to the Royal family and the illustration used by Ackermann was said to be based on one ordered by the Princess Augusta. Thomas Morgan also claimed that whilst in Butler's employ he had visited Buckingham House and showed a model of his Imperial Dining Table to the King, Queen and other members of the Royal Family.   Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions comensurate with age and useOld chips and splits. There are scratches and abrasions to the the surface in areas. The top surface of the dining table appears to have been applied with shellac/ varnish or french polish previously and it has a 'glassy' finish. This seems to make the natural 'splits' in the natural grain of the timber to be pronounced to a degree in some areas. The remaining frame and legs of the table appear also to have been applied with a later varnish or shellac. Where this has been marked or scratched it reveals a lighter coloured timber beneath. (see additional images) Some minor variation between the colour of the table top and the leaves. (see catalogue images) The oak fittings to the interior of the frame that form the brass clip holders may possibly be later. The clip fittings to the underside of the table top and leaves appear original and the brass clip fittings fit them well. There are no noticeable cracks or splits to the table top or the additional leaves. Please refer to the additional images for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

Der Sturm 's large pages, with their modern design, proclaimed and disseminated the new movement .. The emphatic print of the masthead and the woodcut beneath established the image of the magazine, which remained the most important and also the most modern organ for Expressionist art and writing into the 1920s .. Today Der Sturm remains a unique document of Expressionism, in whose pages one can still discover, in the midst of the well-known Expressionists, many an unfamiliar or forgotten artist.'

Suffragettes.- Pankhurst (Sylvia, editor) The Woman's Dreadnought, 47 issues only, comprising: Special Advance Number, 8pp., March 8 1914, no.1-21 and 23-47, all issues 4pp., except issue 41 with 8pp., illustration to p.1 of each issue, many issues frayed, torn (especially at fold) or chipped at edges, issue 2 torn in half, issue 14 browned along and around fold, but text for the most part unaffected and legible, preserved in later portfolio, folio (445 x 287mm.), East London Federation of the Suffragettes, March 8th 1914 - February 6th 1915.⁂ Extremely rare and near-complete run of this highly important suffragette newspaper, missing only one issue (number 22, August 15th 1914) from the first 47, and here together with the Special Advance Number. The periodical appeared fortnightly under the editorship of Sylvia Pankhurst during the build-up to and first few months of the First World War. Much of the suffragette movement rallied behind the government at the beginning of the war, but Sylvia took a different path, diverging from her patriotic mother and sister to set up a working-class suffragette movement in the East End of London, producing this publication, which soon changed its name to The Workers' Dreadnought with more overtly socialist leanings and later being adopted as the official organ of the British Communist Party. Despite a claimed circulation of 20,000, these early issues seem exceptionally rare and we can trace no issues appearing for sale at auction.

He also created his own 'Pirate Code' and invented an early variant of the iconic skull and crossbones flag. One merchant captain's account recalls, 'I hope the ships bound from London to Jamaica, may escape the said Roberts, for he designs to keep that station, and destroy all ships that come to these Islands which may fall into his hands. They left me without any manner of clothing; and Roberts brought my brother (chief mate) to the gears, and whipt him within an inch of his life, by reason he had conceal'd two gold rings in his pocket' (pp.247-248).

[Churchill, Winston S.]. A small archive of photographs, letters and news cuttings belonging to Henry C. Shelley, 1899-1900, comprising: 8 photographs, all annotated on verso, some taken on board RMS Dunottar Castle, including 1 of Winston Churchill, 1 of General Buller, and 2 of Edgar Wallace (1 inscribed in pencil on verso 'Mr Edgar Wallace, Reuters, Author of a Kimberley poem published in the Cape Argus. The Editor sent 1,000 copies for distribution among the troops'); 3 items of shipboard printed ephemera, comprising a 4pp. List of Passengers, listing 'Mr. Winston Churchill and valet', split at hinge and annotated with ink crosses by a number of the names, 'The Dunottar Record', October 28, 1899, 8pp., and a 'Programme of Athletic Sports', October 25 & 26, 1899, 4pp., including such races as 'Chalking the Pig's Eye (Ladies)' and 'Bolster Fight'; 5 autograph letters signed from Harry Shelley to his wife Carrie, 1 on Dunottar Castle headed paper, describing battle scenes, climate and topography, the price of food and laundry, photographs taken and articles written, etc., 1 mentioning Rudyard Kipling's arrival, and another referring to Winston Churchill; a 4pp. 'Prospectus of Lectures by Henry C. Shelley War Correspondent', edge-frayed; and a small quantity of associated newspaper and periodical cuttings, e.g. for The Westminster Budget, and The King, various sizesQty: (1)Footnote: Henry C. Shelley, war correspondent, photographer and lecturer, spent eight months with the British Army in South Africa at the beginning of the Boer War between 1899 and 1900. As his Prospectus of Lectures states, "his experiences embrace actual knowledge and personal eyesight of all the chief events of the War on the Western side", going on to say "he was the only Correspondent who was allowed to make an ascent in the War Balloon, and, during the halt at Bloemfontein, he was accorded special privileges by Lord Roberts to enable him to secure the only pictures in existence of many historic incidents transpiring in that town". Harry, as he was known, travelling on RMS Dunottar Castle in October 1899, came to know another young war correspondent of the time, a certain Winston Churchill, with whom it seems he was less than impressed, writing in one of the endearing letters to his wife, Carrie, that one of the men in his cabin was "a perfect gentleman & a right good fellow, but the other (Churchill) is nothing but a cad", adding "when we get up to the front with the other press men it is likely he will have a rough time". By contrast, Shelley found Rudyard Kipling, whom he also met, "exceedingly pleasant ...full of high spirits".
