DALWHINNIE 1992 DISTILLERS EDITION HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1992Bottled: 201043% ABV / 70cl Dalwhinnie is the highest distillery in Scotland and, as such, it also boasts the lowest average temperature range. The obvious benefit of this is a lower “angel’s share” lost from casks in their warehouse, but it also keeps their external worm tubs cool, causing the spirit vapour from the stills to condense very quickly. Combine this with a distillation process which strives to minimise copper contact, and Dalwhinnie distillery produces a heavy, sulphury new make spirit that needs to mellow in refill wood for 15 years before its signature sweet, honied style fully emerges.

Follower of Domenico Beccafumi,  Italian 1486-1551- Study of a group of figures; oil on paper laid down on panel, 32 x 59.8 cm. Provenance:  Private Collection, UK. Note:  The head types in this unfinished composition appear to be stylistically and technically comparable to a group of head studies in oil on paper by Domenico Beccafumi, which are connected to a series of frescoes in La Sala del Concistoro in the Palazzo Pubblico, Siena. Some of these studies share with the present work a characteristic technique, with outlines of the nose, eyes, and mouth made with thick dark paint, and the neck, back of the head, and fingers with elegant lines of the brush. The lively arrangement of the heads on the present sheet recalls Beccafumi's work in Siena Cathedral, and in particular the artist's designs for the pavement tiles. Furthermore, the dramatically lit heads here can loosely be compared with Beccafumi's oil sketch on paper 'Head of Thrasybulus' in the Pierpont Morgan Library, New York [no.I,19b]. It has been suggested that the present work is a representation of the Hebrew story 'The Judgement of Solomon'.

The notable Second War Immediate D.F.M. group of five awarded to Flying Officer A. H. Horry, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, a Bomb Aimer in No. 9 Squadron in the decisive attack on the Tirpitz on 12 November 1944 Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (1332586 F/Sgt. A. H. Horry. R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, mounted as worn, good very fine (5) £7,000-£9,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- D.F.M. London Gazette 30 January 1945. The original recommendation states: ‘As Air Bomber, this N.C.O. has taken part in many sorties including the last two attacks on the German battleship Tirpitz. On the first attack which was undertaken from a Russian base, he gave great assistance to his captain, by successfully map reading in very bad visibility, but was prevented from taking part in the attack by the unserviceability of his aircraft. On the last two attacks, which necessitated very long journeys, Flight Sergeant Horry again assisted his pilot and navigator by the accuracy of his map reading. In the actual bombing of his targets he has shown the greatest coolness and steady determination to drop his bombs upon the target. He has at all times shown the greatest keenness to operate and has proved a most valuable member of a very good crew.’ Remarks by Base Commander: ‘A key member of a very good bombing team. For his share in the successful attack on Tirpitz I recommend the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.’ Arthur Henry Horry was born at Bungay, Norfolk, on 10 September 1923, and enlisted in the Royal Air Force in January 1941. Having undertaken training in Canada, he returned to the U.K. in March 1943 and was advanced to Flight Sergeant at the end of the year. In June 1944, he commenced his first operational tour as a Bomb Aimer in No. 106 Squadron, a Lancaster unit based at R.A.F. Metheringham. Over the coming weeks, he completed 19 sorties, mainly to France, including strikes against the V.1 weapon sites at Saint-Leu-d’Esserent in early July and at Trossy St. Maxim on successive nights in early August. Transferring to No. 9 Squadron in September 1944, he undertook specialist training at R.A.F. Bardney in readiness for the Tirpitz operations, and participated in a successful ‘Tallboy’ strike on the Sorpe Dam on 15 October 1944. His first Tirpitz mission was curtailed by poor weather but, on 29 October 1944, he and his crew reached their designated target, as confirmed by the squadron’s operational record book: ‘Primary attacked at 0855 hours … centre of ship in [Horry’s] bomb sight. Light and heavy flak moderate to light from shore batteries and Tirpitz, which was also firing heavy guns from aft. Rear Gunner saw a direct hit on the bows of the Tirpitz, followed by a big explosion and column of brown smoke.’ But it took another strike to finish the job, namely Operation ‘Catechism’ flown on the 12 November 1944, a task delegated to 9 and 617 Squadrons under the overall command of Wing Commander J. B. ‘Willy’’ Tait, D.S.O., and undertaken from a base in Russia. The attack was a resounding success, three direct hits in quick succession causing Tirpitz to capsize. Horry’s role as Bomb Aimer was patently a crucial one and it’s not without interest that No. 9 Squadron claimed it was their aircraft that obtained the vital hits. And it was to the Wireless Operator in Horry’s Lancaster that fell the duty of signalling H.Q. in the event of Tirpitz’s demise, a duty duly fulfilled and the news rapidly passed to the B.B.C. for a broadcast was made as the Lancaster crews were still over Norway. Horry was subsequently among ten aircrew to be recommended for a decoration on the same occasion, the rest of them being awarded the D.F.C., thereby making his D.F.M. a unique squadron award. The covering notes for the recommendations state: ‘These members of aircraft crew have each completed many operational missions and have displayed the highest standard of keenness and determination throughout. On 12 November 1944, they participated in the decisive attack on the German warship Tirpitz, a target against which all of them had previously been in action. On this last occasion the big battleship was sunk. The success achieved reflects the greatest credit on the efforts of these members of aircraft crew who, in their various capacities as pilots, navigators and air bombers displayed skill, courage and resolution of a high order.’ Horry went on to complete his operational tour, attacking specialist targets such as U-boat pens, viaducts and flying-bomb sites. Commissioned in February 1945, he was finally discharged as a Flying Officer in February 1946. Sold with two original letters from the recipient, which outline his wartime career, an aircrew reunion photograph, and copied research.

Collection of Handcrafted Ceramic Bowls A collection of approximately 20 handcrafted ceramic bowls in varied sizes and finishes. The bowls exhibit a range of glazing styles, including muted pinks, beige, earthy reds, teal blue, and plum. Notable features include spiral and concentric patterns, speckled and crackle glaze effects, and a mix of matte and glossy finishes. Most pieces share rounded forms with minor irregularities, indicative of wheel-thrown techniques, with diameters estimated between 10 cm and 20 cm. Likely originating from the mid-to-late 20th century to contemporary times, these bowls display characteristics of studio pottery, potentially created by a single artisan or workshop, with no visible maker’s marks.

This is an exquisite early Renaissance polychrome wood sculpture depicting Saint Martin of Tours on horseback, captured in the moment of his legendary act of charity. In a dynamic and expressive pose, Saint Martin turns gracefully to share his cloak, symbolizing compassion and selflessness, a defining moment in Christian iconography.This piece is attributed to the French Lorraine School, a renowned artistic tradition that flourished in northeastern France during the late Gothic and early Renaissance periods. Lorraine artists were known for their expressive religious sculptures, seamlessly blending Gothic traditions with Renaissance humanism. The region's sculptors mastered naturalistic detailing, particularly in facial expressions, drapery, and anatomical realism, all of which are evident in this piece.The French Lorraine School retained strong Gothic influences throughout the late 15th century, while gradually incorporating Renaissance realism and emotional expressiveness into the early 16th century. This sculpture likely dates to the late 15th or early 16th century (circa 1470-1520). Its stylistic elements reflect the artistic traditions of this period, particularly those seen in works by Lorraine sculptors influenced by early French Renaissance carving techniques and the expressive stone sculptures of Ligier Richier (circa 1500-1567).Carved from wood with traces of original polychrome, the sculpture would have once been richly colored, enhancing its lifelike presence. The detailed rendering of Saint Martin's garments and the horse's dynamic posture is characteristic of Lorraine craftsmanship, while the subject matter reflects the region's deep devotion to saints and narrative-driven religious art.Saint Martin of Tours (circa 316-397 AD) was a Roman soldier-turned-bishop, renowned for his charitable deeds and monastic reforms. His act of dividing his cloak to clothe a beggar-immortalized in Christian legend-became a powerful symbol of generosity, inspiring countless artistic interpretations. His legacy endures through Martinmas (November 11), a feast day celebrating his contributions to the Church and European religious life.Approximate Dimensions: 34"L x 13"W x 45"H.Artist: French (Lorraine) SchoolIssued: Circa 1500Dimensions: See DescriptionCountry of Origin: FranceProvenance: John and Johanna Bass Collection, New York, NY; Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach, FL, 1963.

Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter, complete set of 'The Long Earth' series of science fiction novels, all collectors limited editions, each being one of 825 respective copies only, all published London, Doubleday, all original pictorial boards, orig. pictorial slipcases, all pristine in original shrink wrap, comprising 'The Long Earth', 2012, 'The Long War', 2013, 'The Long Mars', 2014, 'The Long Utopia', 2015, 'The Long Cosmos', 2016. The Long Earth is a collaborative science fiction novel series by British authors Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. At the time of Pratchett's death, three novels had been released, with a fourth published on 23 June 2015 and the fifth published on 30 June 2016. The original basis for the series was Pratchett's then-unpublished short story "The High Meggas", which he wrote as a starting point for a potential series while his first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was undergoing publication. The success of The Colour of Magic prompted Pratchett to put the story aside until the idea resurfaced in 2010 following a conversation with his American agent, and discussion with Stephen Baxter prompted the development of the first book, and the collaboration between the two authors. The Long Earth is a name given to a possibly infinite series of parallel worlds that are similar to Earth, which can be reached using an inexpensive device called a Stepper. The "close" worlds are almost identical to Earth, while others differ radically. Despite this they all share one similarity: on none are there or have there ever been humans. The books explore the theme of how humanity might develop when freed from resource constraints: one example Pratchett has cited is that wars result from lack of land, and he was curious as to what would happen if there was no shortage of land or other resources.

An exceptional early BaKota maskThis “cubist” helmet mask is from the Willy Mestach collection. An artist himself, his collection was focused based on personal aesthetic choices, not on a geographic or intellectual level but by a strong emotional and intuitive response to African art. Each object in his collection related intrinsically to all others, creating an ensemble widely considered as one of the best collections of African art.What we must consider for these large helmet masks is their visual functioning. The white of the Kaolin with little specs of reflective mica would have been spectacular in the reflection of large fires during the night rituals. All these masks are made with the graphic qualities that would be emphasized by strong contrasts, creating a vibrant moving spectacle of reflection and shadows. Both masks are said to perform during night festivals, and they all share the same features; clear white lime applied that refers to the afterlife contact with the ancestors, while the “Empoli” masks show the red ochre that symbolizes warmth and strength. This is a quality that Willy Mestach surely had seen when he added this mask to his collection.We know only of a few early “Empoli” ; An Empoli in the De Menil collection in Houston, a white Fang helmet mask from George Bracques and the Empoli from Paul Guillaume. All of these mask’s share similar features; kaolin-lightened faces—with narrow noses, defined nose lines and eyebrows, and diminutive, pursed mouths— all characteristic of its genre in the Northwest of Gabon, independent of the people who made them and their function. These masks can be found amongst a few tribal regions in this region of Gabon; the Kota, The Fang, the Mahongwe and the BaKwele but even though they look like a quintessential African mask, very little is known about them. The angular "Empoli" masks seem to relate more to male figures with its crest on the head, probably a male forest spirit, whilst the round-faced “moon” masks are more feminine, sometimes called “Ngontang” or young girl. We know most about the female “Ngontang” female helmet masks and less about the male “Empoli” but that they were of great importance in performances, dances that contributed to the prestige of his patrons.64 cmProvenancefrom the collection of Willy Mestdagh, BrusselsLiteraturePublished in Bastin (Marie-Louise), "Introduction aux Arts de l'Afrique Noire", Arnouville: Arts d'Afrique Noire, 1984:259, #269

**Please note this vehicle is not single ownership as erroneously catalogued**One of just 25 UK-supplied, right-hand drive examples of Mercedes-Benz' much revered 507bhp 'super-coupé. Following on from the SLK55 AMG Black Series, Mercedes-Benz launched the CLK63 AMG Black Series - a limited edition coupé (only) model with just 700 examples produced worldwide between April 2007 and March 2008 - and a car that AMG says was largely inspired by the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. 'It 's pretty hardcore. We’ve got down to 7min 52sec on the Nürburgring….and that was in traffic. I don’t think we’ve ever done a more complete performance car' , says Tobias Moers, the man who oversees the engineering, development and testing of Mercedes-Benz’s AMG range.The CLK Black Series is based around the regular CLK63, but this is no ordinary AMG Mercedes as, although the two share the same driveline, the Black Series is a very different car. With a huge front spoiler designed to force cooling air into an enlarged radiator whilst also dialling out lift to make it more neutral at speed, the CLK Black Series instantly appears more menacing than the standard coupé. Bulging wheel arches incorporated into the body panels, air vents in the front wings, a deep rear valance and a carbon fibre rear spoiler complete the makeover. That and a set of 19" alloys weighing just 11kg each – 3kg lighter than those of the standard CLK63.Inside, the differences are also obvious, with carbon fibre-reinforced trim on the door inserts and centre console, a forged aluminium gear selector, a flat-bottomed wheel, expensive bucket seats and AMG also replaces the rear bench with two trimmed wells.The CLK Black Series utilises AMG's mighty (and largely hand-built) M156 V8, the brand's first entirely self-built engine launched in 2005 and undoubtedly one of the greatest production car V8s ever built. Power is up from the 478bhp of the standard CLK63 AMG to 507bhp at 6,800rpm, offering an impressive power-to-weight ratio of just over 300bhp per tonne whilst torque remains the same with 464lb/ft at 5,250rpm. Upgrades to the power unit include the adoption of a larger magnesium dual-intake manifold with two internal butterfly valves, a reworked, less restrictive exhaust system and remapped electronics resulting in a sound track that is rather addictive, described as a subdued rumble gradually building into a deep roar before erupting into an all-guns-blazing blare.Power is channelled through Mercedes’ SpeedShift 7G-Tronic gearbox (with Sport and Manual modes) but fettled by AMG for more efficient changes. It's considered a very versatile transmission, being able to swap-up smoothly under light loads but also extremely precise under hard acceleration through the wheel-mounted paddles. All the power is channelled through a suitably beefed-up drivetrain including a limited-slip differential with its own oil cooler and pump to keep temperatures in check. As those wheel arches suggest, there have been major revisions underneath, with the front track widened by 75mm and the rear by 66mm, bestowing the car with real race car agility – again, reinforced by the fitment of adjustable springs and shock absorbers that allow you to set your own compression and rebound rates. However, the CLK Black Series is also a compliant and usable road car (air-conditioning and cruise-control are still present) with AMG allowing enough suspension travel to ensure acceptable levels of comfort.The steering too is very well engineered, providing excellent feedback, whilst prodigious grip, helped no doubt by the huge 285/30 R19 Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres, allows the car to carry big speeds into corners and then dispatch its power with real conviction. Meanwhile, the array of driver aids, including a specially calibrated ESP, are nowhere near as intrusive as in the standard CLK63 AMG, so lurid power slides are part of its repertoire, if that's on the agenda.Mercedes claims the 0-62mph time has dropped by 0.3 seconds to just 4.3 seconds, however the marque is notoriously conservative when it comes to quoting acceleration. Top speed is limited to 186mph - 'It is capable of more' says Moers.The car presented here is a 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series and is one of just 25 UK-market/right-hand drive cars produced. It looks particularly striking in Black Metallic, apt for such a purposeful Black Series car, has covered 24,600 miles from new and benefits from a comprehensive service history, the most recent carried out at Sytner Mercedes-Benz of Bath in November 2024.On offer from a private Collection of special cars, it has been used sparingly but always meticulously stored and serviced. This is an opportunity not to be missed, as trying to find such a rare and revered car in right-hand drive, with such low mileage and diligent single ownership, is close to impossible.Arguably, the CLK63 AMG Black Series offers better value for money than other comparable limited edition Mercedes supercars of this era. As we know, cars like these, produced in short runs with bespoke large capacity and naturally-aspirated engines are less likely to be offered by manufacturers in the future and are destined to become even more collectable.The last word should really come from Jeremy Clarkson, a former owner of a CLK63 Black Series - 'For sheer excitement, the CLK Black is a match for absolutely anything. Since my test car went back to Mercedes, I have been thinking about it a lot. Because I’m not sure that anyone’s life is quite complete unless they have one'.SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: CLK63 AMG BLACK SERIESYear: 2007Chassis Number: WDB2093772F243015Registration Number: FG57 XVVTransmission: Semi-auto Engine Number: 15698260020175 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 24600 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black / AnthraciteClick here for more details and images

Registration No: BL05 XDF Chassis No: SAJAC42P862A46142 MOT: May 2025Offered directly from the one and only ownerWarranted 49,000 miles from newNotably late example from the final full year of productionLast serviced at 47,287 miles by a Jaguar specialistAccompanied by a history file including original purchase invoiceIntroduced in 1996 and, from launch, was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise, like its immediate predecessor, the XJS, the original XK8 was more of a Grand Tourer than an outright sports car. It also had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. This then, was a 'Big Cat' with strong DNA but also its own distinctive, endearing personality. At the time of the newcomer's unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS. The biggest of many differences between new and old, was the adoption of Jaguar's second generation independent rear suspension system, previously found on the XJ40 Saloon. Prior to 2003, power came from either a normally aspirated (XK8) or supercharged (XKR) 4.0-litre version of the company's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine. From 2003 to the end of production in 2006, the 4.2-litre AJ34 unit was employed. In each case, the engine was allied to either a five or six-speed (from 1997 onwards) automatic transmission.Manufactured in 2005, ‘BL05 XDF’ is a notably late example being from the final full year of production and was supplied new to the vendor via Jaguar main agents Stratstone on the 30th June that year. Retained by the vendor ever since, the Jaguar is finished in its original and well-suited colour scheme of Midnight Black Metallic paintwork with a matching Black hood, and Charcoal leather interior upholstery. Used on summer days and for a few long-distance trips to Europe and Ireland, the vendor is now offering the Jaguar due to his advancing years. Offered now having covered a warranted 49,000 miles from new, the XK8 still boasts its dealer rear window sticker, tonneau cover in Black, and warning triangle. The Jaguar's specification includes heated seats, satellite navigation, air-conditioning, and desirable split-rim wheels.Benefitting from a new ABS sensor last year, new front brake discs and pads in 2021, and improvements to the suspension in 2017 costing some c.£1,400.

Registration No: H695 SAH Chassis No: VSE0SJJ3D00097006 MOT: August 2025 Fully restored some ten years agoFinished in a striking, unique colourBuilt by Land Rover Santana S.A. in SpainThe Suzuki Jimny, a small, simple and robust 4x4, became the brands first global success. In 1975 the SJ series ('Suzuki Jeep') was launched and it quickly gained a significant market share as it was cheap to buy and run. This led Suzuki to become the market leader for 4x4 cars throughout the 1980s. Particularly popular became the SJ 413 (four-wheel drive, 1.3-litre engine), later called 'Samurai'. Both the body and interior were redesigned with the introduction of a roll bar, along with a new dashboard, seats and grille.Built under license by Land Rover Santana S.A. in Spain, due to Euroean quotas, this attractively practical LWB version of the Suzuki SJ 'jeep' with a commercial-style hardtop and steel-roofed cabin, has been subject to an extensive restoration by the previous owner which has been effectively documented amongst the photographs and the plethora of digital files with the car, that include diagrams, schematics, how-to' guides and maintenance manuals. The car was stripped right down and the chassis and body separated to be cleaned, repaired, painted and built back to completion. Restoration work included new metal before a final repaint. The LWB Suzuki jeep's removable cabin top was replaced with a permanent steel roof and a rear door fitted to complement the tall hardtop. An attractive proposition as an off-roader, it would also make a fantastic promotional or eye-catching yet practical commercial vehicle. From what we know, the fibreglass rear top, without windows, is unlike any others we have seen, albeit likely from the same manufacturer as the factory approved tops with windows. It is offered with a spare set of Samurai wheels (10 hole steels compared to the 9 hole steels fitted to the vehicle), digital images and files relating to the restoration and the current V5 document.

A rare Great War ‘Q-ship operations’ D.S.C. group of four awarded to Lieutenant F. G. J. Manning, Royal Naval Reserve, who was decorated for his gallantry in Acton’s successful action against the UC-72 off the French coast in August 1917 - ‘the submarine was so close that at one time it actually collided with the ship, shaking Acton fore and aft’: he had earlier been Mentioned in Despatches for leading the storming party that captured one of the Konigsberg’s landed guns at Bagamoyo in August 1916 Distinguished Service Cross, G.V.R., hallmarks for London 1917, unnamed as issued; 1914-15 Star (S. Lt. F. G. J. Manning, R.N.R.); British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (Lieut. F. G. J. Manning) good very fine (4) £2,400-£2,800 --- Provenance: R. C. Witte Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, December 2012. D.S.C. London Gazette 22 February 1918: ‘For services in action with enemy submarines.’ Francis Graham John Manning was born at Holyhead, Anglesey, in September 1892, and was appointed a Sub Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Reserve in August 1915. Having joined the battleship H.M.S. Vengeance, he was embarked for East Africa that December. East Africa - Mentioned in Despatches Shortly thereafter, having arrived on the East Africa Station, Manning was transferred to the cruiser Talbot, as a consequence of which, he found himself navigating one of her steam pinnace’s in the landings at Simba Urange on 5 May 1916, when he disembarked a party of Royal Marines and Askaris who occupied a gun emplacement that had once housed one of the Konigsberg’s 4.1-inch guns. And it was in a similar operation against enemy positions at Bagamoyo on 15 August 1916 that he was Mentioned in Despatches (London Gazette 15 June 1917). On this occasion, however, he came ashore in charge of a machine-gun section with orders to storm another Konigsberg land-mounted gun emplacement, in which task, described by Admiral Charlton as ‘a most remarkable piece of work’, he succeeded. The operation is summarised thus in Conrad Cato’s The Navy Everywhere: ‘As soon as our men landed, Sub. Lieutenant Manning was sent in charge of a machine-gun section to rush the hill and capture the 4.1. This he did very skilfully, taking cover as soon as he reached the top of the rise, and peppering the Germans relentlessly, until they abandoned their gun and took to their heels. In addition to the gun, over 80 rounds of ammunition were found in the magazine near by, and a few days later both gun and ammunition were shipped to Zanzibar, where they were on view to admiring crowds of natives.’ In fact, in due course, the gun found its way home and was exhibited in the Mall near the north door of the Admiralty. ‘Q’-Ships - D.S.C. As verified by contemporary Navy Lists, Manning was transferred to ‘special service’ in the summer of 1917, when he joined the Q-ship Acton [a.k.a. Q-34] under Lieutenant-Commander C. N. Rolfe, D.S.O., R.N., and it was in the same capacity that he won his D.S.C. for the destruction of the UC-72 off the French coast on 20 August 1917. Rolfe’s subsequent report states: ‘I have the honour to report on an action which took place between H.M.S. Acton and a submarine yesterday, 20 August 1917. Acton was steaming at S.42 W. at 10 knots, in position 46 00 N. 8 48 W., when at 6.25 p.m. a submarine was sighted on the port quarter. Acton maintained approximately the same course and reduced speed to eight knots, orders being at the same time given to make more smoke and to avoid blowing off steam. The submarine commenced firing at 6.25 p.m. and continued at ranges varying from 8,300 to 6,000 yards until 8.00 p.m. During this time between 50 and 60 rounds were fired, eight of which were time-fused. The submarine ceased fire as boats were lowered. At 8 p.m. the ship was stopped, and “panic abandon ship stations” were carried out; smoke boxes were fired in the well deck and steam leakage turned on. At about this time the submarine submerged and carried out a close periscope inspection of the ship which lasted until 8.35 p.m.: the submarine was so close that at one time it actually collided with the ship, shaking Acton fore and aft. It then came to the surface about 1000 yards away and hailed the boats to come alongside; but as it was getting dark, the submarine was not seen through the spy-holes on the bridge. The next seen of the submarine, it was circling close round the ship on the surface, and at a range of between 200 and 300 yards, fire was opened on him just before the port beam. Six rounds were fired, at least four of which hit the submarine, the certain hits being two abaft and below the conning tower and two on the conning tower. Loud shouts came up from the submarine when Acton opened fire. The submarine then submerged stern first and most of her conning tower was shot away. The telegraph was put to full ahead, when the open fire bell was pushed and an attempt was made to ram the submarine as she submerged, a depth charge being dropped when over the spot where she submerged at 9.10 p.m. This exploded 10 to 15 seconds after being let go and sent up a column of black or dark brown water 25 to 30 feet high. It was now very dark, so the boats were found and hoisted. The foremost fall of the port life boat had been shot away and caused a little delay in hoisting. When the boats were clear of the water, Acton commenced steering in a square, in the hope of finding wreckage on which to drop another depth charge or for picking up survivors; but unfortunately at about 10.20 p.m. a light, then considered suspicious, but since only believed to be the reflection of a star, was seen and followed up. Nothing further was seen of the submarine, and I consider it was sunk; but the darkness prevented small objects being seen on the water: though after the depth charge had exploded the only man who was looking over the side aft said that the water had the appearance it would have “after the ship had been throwing overboard ashes”. The depth charge used seems to have gone into the submarine’s swirl. The weather was fine and the sea calm.’ Manning was awarded the D.S.C. and received a £40 share of the Admiralty’s resultant prize money. In March 1918, he removed to the Silene, a convoy sloop, but a sloop with a difference - in common with her consorts she had been designed to have the appearance of a merchantman, while her armament of two 4-inch guns, a 12-pounder and depth-charge throwers were all concealed, though whether she had any encounters of the U-boat kind remains unknown - certainly she landed three cases for hospital treatment at Buncrana in early October. He was demobilised in June 1919. Sold with copied research.

Glasgow: Robert Foulis, 1748-9. 2 volumes, 4to (23.4 x 18cm), viii 538, 462 [2] pp., contemporary sprinkled calf, spines decorated in gilt, volume 1 with marginal damp-staining to first few quires, volume 2 with very small worm-track to lower margin of initial leaves [Gaskell 116] Sir James Gordon, Baronet (1779-1843), of Letterfourie, Moray, Scotland, with his engraved bookplate to each volume, showing Letterfourie, built 1783 by Robert Adam, in the background. First edition of the Jacobite thinker and writer's ‘great work' (ODNB), an immense attempt at reconciling Newtonian ideas with his highly idiosyncratic personal philosophy, a form of mystical Catholicism exhibiting an array of influences ranging from masonic ideas to ancient Chinese thinking. The first volume uses the ‘geometric method’ made famous by Spinoza in order to prove the compatibility of reason and revealed religion, while the second volume seeks to defend Christianity from deist critiques of its relative novelty by expounding the religious ideals of all known ancient peoples, namely the Indians, Greeks, Hebrews, Romans, Persians, Chinese and Egyptians, which are shown to share a singular patriarchal source. A leading member of Scottish Jacobite society in exile, Ramsay was for a time tutor to the young Prince Charles Edward Stuart in Rome, and was influential in assisting David Hume's passage into French intellectual circles during the 1730s. Hume would later quote The Philosophical Principles in ‘The Natural History of Religion’ (in Four Dissertations, 1757).

It is believed that this was among a handful gifted by Tolkien to the Directors and Senior Managers at Allen and Unwin, presented by him to the Sales and Marketing Manager, Leslie Berry. Fully-signed sets are exceptionally rare, we can trace very few at auction in the last 40 years.Following the success of The Hobbit, Tolkien's publishers encouraged him to begin work on a sequel. Though resistant at first, the author began this new work within months, sometime between 16th and 19th December, 1937. The new work was influenced heavily by the world building of Tolkien's then-unpublished Silmarillion, indeed the author would come to see both works as a single text and his insistence of their being published together (and the consequent costs involved) led to Allen and Unwin initially declining publication. After a brief flirtation with the publisher Collins, Tolkien returned to Allen and Unwin. Now willing to compromise he agreed to split The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion into separate works and to divide the former into three books to reduce the costs involved for the publishers. Even so, the outlay involved for Allen and Unwin was considerable, but the firm finally agreed to publish in 1952 with an unusual arrangement whereby Tolkien would be paid no royalties initially but take a share in all profits once the costs had been covered. Tolkien's revisions and corrections to the texts, issues with printers Jarrold & Sons and the author's precise standards regarding his hand-drawn maps and Middle-Earth scripts meant that publication of the The Fellowship of the Ring would take some 18 months and Return of the King almost 3 years. Sales of The Lord of the Rings in hardback were brisk, due in part to the hard work of Leslie Berry and his team, with each volume averaging at least one new impression per year until the publication of the UK paperback edition in 1968 at which point the rate of reprints would increase. Tolkien's remarkable work would come to sell over 150 million copies, the numerous adaptations and expansions of the world he created have ensured its lasting popularity.Leslie Berry (d. 1967) first joined the firm of Allen and Unwin as a boy in 1934. He was called up to the Lincolnshire Regiment in 1939 and rose to the rank of major. On his return to the firm after the war, his new senior rank led to his transfer to the travelling sales team where he excelled before becoming Allen and Unwin's first sales manager. Berry would continue travelling in this new role, bringing the firm to new and emerging markets across the world. His unstinting efforts undoubtedly contributed to the success of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.Provenance: passed by descent to the present owner.

DALWHINNIE 1980 DISTILLERS EDITION HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1980Double matured in Oloroso cask wood43% ABV / 70cl Dalwhinnie is the highest distillery in Scotland and, as such, it also boasts the lowest average temperature range. The obvious benefit of this is a lower “angel’s share” lost from casks in their warehouse, but it also keeps their external worm tubs cool, causing the spirit vapour from the stills to condense very quickly. Combine this with a distillation process which strives to minimise copper contact, and Dalwhinnie distillery produces a heavy, sulphury new make spirit that needs to mellow in refill wood for 15 years before its signature sweet, honied style fully emerges.
