China, the Chinese Rites Controversy, the Roman Catholic Church and the Dominicans (Order of Preachers) - [Fatinelli (Giovanni Giacomo), Tabaglio (Giuseppe Maria, OP), De Tournon (Cardinal Charles-Thomas Maillard)], Considerazioni sù la scrittura intitolata riflessioni sopra la causa della Cina dopò venuto in Europa il decreto dell' Emo di Tournon, first edition, [Rome]: 1709, pp: 124, [3], [1] (blank), contemporary carta rustica wrappers, red-speckled edges, 4to, [Streit VII, 2549-2550], [1] A work relating to Cardinal Maillard de Tournon (aka Carlo Tommaso; 1668-1710), papal legate and cardinal to the East Indies and China, and his controversial policies towards China. In 1704, he arrived at Macau, and at Beijing later on in 1705, where Kangxi received him kindly at first, but upon hearing that he came to abolish the Chinese rites (offering sacrifices to Confucius and the ancestors, and in using the Chinese names Ti?n (heaven) and Shàngdì (supreme emperor) for the God of the Christians) among the native Christians, he demanded from all missionaries on pain of immediate expulsion a promise to retain these rites. At Rome, the Holy Office had meanwhile decided against the rites, and Tournon being acquainted with this decision, issued a decree at Nanjing obliging the missionaries under pain of excommunication to abolish these rites. Hereupon, Kangxi ordered Tournon to be imprisoned at Macau and send some Jesuit missionaries to Rome to protest against the decree. Copy with "dopò" (instead of "doppo") in the title, as stated by Streit for the 1709 first edition, and the "Riposta" to verso, but not yet paginated as in the second edition. Provenance: 1) Contemporary ink MS numbering to lower-right margin of title-page; 2) Björn Löwendahl (1941-2013), later red ownership stamp to lower-left margin of title-page.

A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY FULL HALF-HOUR STRIKING LONGCASE CLOCK WITH TRIP-REPEATHENRY HINDLEY, YORK, CIRCA 1750-60The four double-baluster turned pillar movement with plates measuring 6.375 by 5.125 inches enclosing fine high-count wheelwork, the going train with anchor escapement regulated by brass lenticular bob seconds pendulum incorporating Hindley's cranked crutch arrangement and bolt-and-shutter maintaining power, the strike train with inside rack for sounding the hour at the hour and then again at the half hour on a second smaller bell, with Hindley's dual direction pull trip repeat lever to the backplate and cranked calendar adjustment applied to the rear of the dial plate, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial to the distinctive richly matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track and signed Hindley, York to lower margin, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and male mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a calendar dial flanked by dolphin and scroll cast mounts, the case with finial blocks to the ogee-shaped domed caddy superstructure over generous architectural dentil cornice and plain frieze to lintel over rectangular door incorporating both the glazed break-arch dial aperture and the upper quadrant panels flanked by free-standing full-height slender Doric columns to front angles, the sides with arched windows and further full columns set to the rear, the trunk with cavetto throat moulding over caddy-moulded break-arch door, on plinth base with moulded skirt and squab feet.252cm (99.25ins) high including finial blocks, 58.5cm (23ins) wide, 30.5cm (12ins) deep. Henry Hindley was born in Great Harwood, near Blackburn, Lancashire 1699, little is known about his early life, however by the mid 1720's he was making clocks in Wigan where he repaired the church clock in 1726. Hindley moved with his young family (including his son, Joseph born 1728) to the prosperous city of York where, after making clocks for the Mansion House and Guildhall, he gained his Freedom of the city in 1732. Hindley s talents were such that he equipped his workshop with tools of his own design including an important dividing and wheel cutting engine, a screw cutting lathe and a fusee engine. As well as domestic clocks Hindley received commissions for several turret clocks including York Minster and supplied a range of scientific instruments including two important equatorial telescopes for the Duke of Norfolk and William Constable. By the 1760 s Hindley s health had deteriorated to the extent that an ever-increasing proportion of the business was handled by his son Joseph. Henry died in 1771 with his son and successor Joseph unfortunately dying just three years later in 1774, before he had had the opportunity to stamp his own mark on the family firm. Hindley s work demonstrates a highly inventive exacting approach with each clock perhaps varying in some way to its predecessor ensuring constant refinement in design and layout. The quality of the finish of his work is generally exceptional being comparable to the very best London makers of the period which is why many collectors often refer to Hindley as the 'Tompion of the North'. The movement of the current lot is no exception being a particularly fine example of Hindley's work exhibiting inventive details such as the cranked pumping mechanism for the calendar dial, gravity fed rack striking and combined spring and stop for each of the bell hammers. The bolt-and-shutter maintaining power is beautifully executed and the trip repeat lever is ingenious in its simplicity using offset pins on a disk to ensure the lever can be tripped from by pulling from either side. The full-half hour striking of the current lot is unusual and is facilitated by having a second set of pins on the opposite side to the hammer pin wheel which are moved to act on the hammer for the second bell by pumping the arbor along its axis via a raised section of rim to a wheel in the motionwork engaging with a pivoted lever.The case of the current lot is also noteworthy in its quality and distinctive form. The timber used is the heaviest Cuban mahogany and the combination of crisp mouldings and fine turnings to the unusual full-height free-standing hood columns echoes the high-quality individual approach seen in Hindley's movements.Condition Report: Movement is in fine original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. Although the mechanism is in full working condition a precautionary gentle clean and service is advised. The dial is also in fine condition but with overall patchy tarnishing and discolouration to the finishes. The movement rests on an appropriate oak seatboard onto pine blocks applied to the original thin solid mahogany uprights of the trunk. Although this arrangement is not what is normally seen on longcase clocks (and the blocks could be later) we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are such a good match to the case that they are most likely original to each other and that id the blocks are replacements it is probably due to historic damage/wear.The case is generally in very good original condition and with fine colour/surface. The domed caddy superstructure is a restoration; the finials are missing as are the mouldings to the upper edge of the top finial block. The plinth has an open shrinkage crack near the top edge and the feet are replacements. Otherwise faults to the case are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum (not original but period correct and adapted for Hindley's crutch), two brass-cased weights, a winding key but no case key.
