Waugh (Evelyn).- [Evelyn Waugh's telescopic ear trumpet], plated copper, stamped "English Made", a few dents, some rubbing, 280mm collapsed, 444mm. extended. ⁂ Accompanied with letters of provenance from Auberon Waugh: "I have sent you a disgusting object... you may be able to identify as a telescopic ear trumpet as used by my Father in his later years... it may be of some whimsical interest to an obsessive collector." In his later years Waugh enjoyed playing up to the image of the grumpy elderly man of letters and he would use the trumpet to great effect in cultivating this persona. His cousin Claud Cockburn recalled a time when Waugh used the trumpet to withering effect against Malcolm Muggeridge at the Foyle's Literary Luncheon: "Then the guest of honor rose to speak, with all the confidence of a man who had won much acclaim for wit wisdom, and polished oratory. The receiving end of the trumpet was trained upon him. He had been speaking for perhaps a minute when Evelyn, was seen to be unscrewing the thing from his head. He removed it from his ear, placed the great bulk on the table cloth in front of him, and sat gazing intently at his plate. The guest of honor could have dealt easily with some rude heckler. But the gesture with the trumpet utterly dismayed and discomfited him... He sat down after speaking for less than half the time allotted to him. As he did so, Evelyn picked up the trumpet and began adjusting it, once more to listening position." Provenance: Sotheby's, 18th December, 1995, lot 428, presented by Auberon Waugh.

Idyllia cum scholiis [graece], 2 parts in 1, collation: α4, β-λ8, μ4; Α-Ω4, αα-εε4, Greek type, woodcut device of Callierges to title and that of Benigno to verso of final f., initial spaces with guide-letters, woodcut strapwork head-pieces and decorations, some light staining, mostly marginal, 19th century polished calf, gilt, spine in compartments and with red morocco label, corners little worn, rubbed, 8vo (155 x 96mm.), Rome, Zacharias Callierges for Cornelio Benigno, 15 January, 1516. ⁂ The first edition of Theocritus to include the printing of the scholia, and the second Greek book printed in Rome, with a distinguished provenance. The Cretan Callierges began his Italian printing career in Venice, and then moved to Rome at the invitation of Pope Leo X, where he had a Greek type cast. 'As a printer of Greek, the achievements of Callierges are second only to those of Aldus. as an engraver of Greek type he is in a class by himself' (Barker, Aldus Manutius and the Development of Greek Script and Type, p.75). Provenance: Dr. William George (1697-1756), Dean of Lincoln and Headmaster of Eton College (see letter from Earl Spencer); John George Spence, 2nd Earl Spencer (1758-1834), politician, bibliophile and first President of the Roxburgh Club (engraved armorial bookplate with shelf mark); gifted by him to Thomas Gaisford (1779-1855), Regius Professor of Greek and later Dean of Christ Church, Oxford (ink gift inscription and an A.Ls from Spencer tipped-in presenting the volume; engraved armorial bookplate of Gaisford and his ms. table of contents in Greek). Spencer writes 'Having understood from Mr. Grenville that you are desirious of referring to the edition of Theocritus printed by Callierges & having fortunately a duplicate copy of that book by me; I have desired Mr Bliss who is returning from here to Oxford to take charge of the volume & beg you would do me the favour to accept it. The copy was in my original library here & formely belonged to Dr George the headmaster of Eton'. Literature: Adams T460; Mortimer, Italian, 497; K. Staikos, Charta of Greek Printing, pp.412-415

Reynolds (John 'of the Mint') A Brief and Easie way by Tables, to cast up Silver..., title in red and black within typographic border, by Thomas Fawcet, 1651 [colophon dated 1652]; bound with 4 other works (in 2 vol.) by the same author, A2 recto with manuscript corrections in the author's hand, another work with two-column table also in Reynold's hand and with some corrections to printed figures throughout and at the end "The last of Sept. 1663 This Booke examined By me John Reynolds of ye Mynt", uniformly bound in contemporary sheep, red morocco label to one volume, the other with spine rubbed, Macclesfield library copies with bookplates and small embossed stamps, 8vo, 1651-63. ⁂ Fine collection of five very rare or unique tabular tracts on mensuration, gauging, and the casting-up of silver, gold, and pewter, by the best-known master of the mint before Isaac Newton. Reynolds's lifelong career as assay-master (at Goldsmiths' Hall) and assistant master and master of the Royal Mint (1648-52, 1652-63) has been studied by C. E. Challis, in 'John Reynolds and the Sterling Standard', British Numismatic Journal 62 (1992), 237-46, and more generally in his New History of the Royal Mint (1992). Reynolds's various 'Tables', although of lasting use and influence in their time, were published privately, almost certainly in small quantities, designed for colleagues and subordinates in the Government of Charles II. As practical handbooks, their printed text was subject to amplifications and corrections (not, for the most part, yet recognized by ESTC-online), and when these could not be instantly provided in the press, Reynolds himself (as here) seems to have supplied his own MS updates, and certified copies of his works by signing them. The four other works comprise: Untitled table of four leaves, 'By the Proclamation, / 1662. / Crowne Gold of 22. Carrets', Not found in Wing or ESTC-online, but the BL has a copy; The Pewterers Mold ... by John Reynold [sic] of the Mynt. Printed by T. F. 1662, Not in Wing or ESTC-on-line; A Table Concerning the Line of Measure. Composed by John Reynolds of the Mint, 1662, Not in Wing or ESTC-on-line; For Emptiness. A Short and easie way by Tables for finding out the Emptiness of any Casks. Calculated by me John Reynalds of the Mynt. London, Printed by T. F. for the Author, 1663, with three blank leaves at the end containing further manuscript notes on wine casks from Bordeaux and Spain, etc., in the hand of the rear-pastedown annotator of (1) above. A very early English attempt at systematic 'gauging' tables, which were essential to Excise inspectors for determining quantities of wine and spirits imported, Not in Wing or ESTC-on-line.
