Switzer (Stephen, 1682-1745). Author's manuscript with corrections entitled A Synopsis or Practical Compendium of Husbandry & Gardening, circa 1735-40, 48 folio leaves of manuscript in brown ink on laid paper with Pro Patria watermark, consisting of ten numbered leaves (1st-10th) containing The Preface (ten leaves), and A Table of the Contents of the following Synopsis (fourteen leaves), and A Synopsis or practical Compendium of husbandry & Gardening (thirty-eight leaves), some alterations, corrections, or additions in ink by the author, some damp staining, mostly light, particularly to upper outer edges, final leaf with some fraying to margins and loss of some letters (the text generally intact), contemporary plain stiff velum, somewhat soiled and discoloured, covers bowed, folioQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Private Collection, Derbyshire.The full attribution of this manuscript to the hand of Stephen Swtzer is supported by internal evidence: at the head of the table of contents he refers to his own address at the Flower pot over and against the court of Please, Westminster Hall, and on the 7th leaf of the Synopsis the writer pens a note at the foot of the page 'for a further enquiry into the etimology of the phascolus or kidney bean I refer to my Practical Kitchen Gardiner SCC5, Chap XILV, pa 236'. We have dated the manuscript to circa 1735-40 due to the reference to the 'to the Late Lord Peterborough', referring to the Commander of the Chief of Forces sent to Spain and Ambassador to the Court of Turin, who died on the 20th October 1735 on a voyage to Lisbon.Stephen Switzer (1682-1745), gardener, author, landscape designer, and seedsman was apprenticed in 1699 to George London, senior partner of Brompton Park Nurseries. While there, Switzer rose to the position of Lieutenant, where he met and formed friendships with the architects John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor, and Charles Bridgeman. The Brompton Nurseries supplied plants to the great houses that he was involved in laying out, including Chatsworth, Castle Howard, Yorkshire, Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, Nostel, and Brimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire and Cirencester Park. By the mid-1720s Switzer had premises at Westminster Hall. The present manuscript refers to his address: 'Answering to ye several Classes of Husbandry or Grass Seeds, flower Roots & c. Sold by the Seedsman and Gardiners in and about London Especially by S. Switzer att the flower pot over against the Court of Common Pleas Westminster Hall....' Switzer published The Nobleman, Gentleman, and Gardiner's Recreation (later retitled Ichnographia Rustica) in 1718, The Practical Fruit Gardiner (1724), The Practical Kitchen Gardiner (1727), and other works.
Shanghai. Stanfords (publisher), Plan of Shanghai, published under Authority of the Municipal Council, 1928, colour printed lithographic map, sectionalised and laid on linen, printed table of explanation highlighting the drainage and creek system, facsimile signature of the Commissioner of Public Works, 820 x 1620 mm, bound in contemporary morocco with gilt title to the spine, slight wear to extremities, supplied with six sheets of personal notes and the career progression of Noel William Bailey Clarke M. Eng, M. Inst C. E., together with a contemporary photograph (with a pencil signature of the photographer) of Noel Clarke measuring 170 x 110 mm, tipped onto thin card and presented in a contemporary card wallet, overall size 245 x 165 mmQTY: (3)NOTE:Noel Bailey Clarke was a civil engineer who worked on the engineering staff of the Public Works Department of the Shanghai Municipal Council. He was particularly responsible for wharves, river walls, underground sewage pumping stations, sewage purification plants, incinerators and public swimming baths. He rose to become the President of the Engineering Society of China and served as Vice-Chairman of the Shanghai Association of the (British) Institution of Civil Engineers.The two-line key printed in the bottom right corner of the plan relates to drainage and canals and is hand-coloured on the main plan in green and dark blue. This would only be of use to an engineer responsible for drainage and sewage and is indicative that this map is a personalised and possibly unique variant made for Noel Bailey Clarke's sole use. This hypothesis is strengthened by Noel William Bailey Clarke's most comprehensive publication being entitled 'Buried Pipelined: A Manual of Structural Design and Installation'. It would make sense that, with this being his speciality, his focus in Shanghai would have related to drainage and as such the plan may have been specially customised for his use.We have only been able to trace three extant but variant copies of this map. The British Library, Library of Congress Geography and Map Division Washington, D.C. and one held by a London map dealer. This example appears to be a unique example, specifically annotated for Noel Bailey Clarke.
