Lot 166

Swire (William, and Hutchings, William). A Map of the County Palatine of Chester, divided into hundreds & parishes from an accurate survey, made in the years 1828 & 1829, Henry Teesdale, 1830, large scale engraved map with bright contemporary hand colouring, sectionalised and laid on linen, calligraphic title, compass rose, table of reference and an uncoloured vignette of the south west view of Chester cathedral, edged in green silk, marbled endpapers, 960 x 1320 mm, contained in a modern blue cloth solander box with a red gilt morocco label to upper board (1)

Lot 167

Cary (John, and Smith, William), A New Map of Durham divided into Wards exhibiting its roads, rivers, parks &c, 1831, engraved map with contemporary hand colouring, sectionalised and laid on linen, engraved vignette of Durham cathedral, table of explanation, and geological identification code, some light staining, 495 x 550 mm, contemporary green cloth boards with gilt title to upper siding, boards faded and a little stained The noted cartographer, engraver and publisher John Cary (1755-1835) collaborated with William Smith, 'the father of English geology', on a number of his geological projects, notably the 1815 Map and geological sections (1817-1819). Cary had previously produced large, topographical county maps for his New and Correct English Atlas and the plates which were being prepared for a new edition were instead adapted to accommodate Smith's detailed geology, the first set of geological maps being issued in 1819. This is the second state which although coloured using William Smith's geology, gives no acknowledgement to Smtih at all. Scarce. (1)NB: Two engraved railway lines appear on this map, (north-west from Hartlepool towards Durham and north-west from Stockton and Darlington towards Hamsterley), suggesting that this revised, and possibly unrecorded, issue of the map which most likely dates from the early 1840s. 

Lot 38

Morland (Samuel). The Description and Use of Two Arithmetick Instruments, together with a short treatise and demonstrating the ordinary operations of arithmetic, as likewise, a perpetual almanack, and several useful tables, 1st edition, Printed, and are to be sold by Moses Pitt, 1673, engraved portrait frontispiece, six engraved plates printed to versos of A2-7 and four folding engraved plates pasted to the blank verso of A8 and B1-3, Perpetuall Almanack plate bound before 2A1 and a folding table bound between G2 and G3, lacks cancels F8 and G8 (as usual), also lacks G[1] (text leaf beginning 'The diameter of any circle being given') and 2A8, old damp-staining and fraying with occasional short closed tears, largely affecting outer margins, all sympathetically restored with archival tissue, the damage being largely confined to the extremities of the frontispiece, first signature and last two leaves, some slight loss of borders of frontispiece, both titles (A1-2) and plate 1 (A2v), and a little loss of legibility to final two lines of final leaf, red dye splashes to A3v and A4r, contemporary calf, gilt-decorated spine, small 8vo (140 x 88mm) ESTC R30529; Hook & Norman, Origins of Cyperspace 9; Wing M2777. First edition of 'the first book on a calculator written in English, and the first separate work on the subject after Napier's Rabdologiae (1617). There was little else in English on calculating machines until Babbage. The work may also be considered the first comprehensive book in computer literature, as Pascal published nothing about his own machine except an eighteen-page pamphlet, now of the utmost rarity. The first of the "arithmetic instruments" was Morland's adding machine - a modification of Pascal's calculator The second instrument was his multiplier [which ] operated on the same principle as Napier's bones' (Hook & Norman). This rare book is bibliographically complex with no two copies seeming to be the same. This is the second issue, the first having the first six plates printed on slips of paper pasted on the versos of leaves A2-7. This second issue also only calls for 8 leaves in second signature A, rather than 11. All copies of both issues lack G8 (usually described as a cancel) and most copies lack F8 (another cancel, blank with a numerical calculation to verso). This copy also lacks G1 and 2A8, the Perpetuall Almanack plate possibly accounting for the latter leaf. The second signature A is sometimes missing entirely or only partially present and bound after F (as here) or after G. Other anomalies do exist. Collation: [portrait], A-F8 (-F8), [Perpetuall Almanack plate], G2-7 [folding table bound between G2 and G3], 2A7 B8 *8. (1)
