Restoration binding.- Allestree (Richard) The Gentleman's Calling, additional engraved title, contemporary black morocco by John Harding, border and panel of a double gilt fillet, strawberry and flower corner tool at the inner angles of the panel, same tools arranged to form central lozenge, the whole covered with a design of volutes, tulips, rosettes, acorns, leaves, stars and bunches of grapes, gilt spine in compartments, g.e., preserved in modern half calf over marbled board drop-back box, [Wing A1126], 8vo, by R. Norton, for Robert Pawlet, 1677.⁂ A superb example of a binding by the London binder John Harding. Born near Chester, Harding was apprenticed to Jeremy Lamas in 1653 and appointed to the Stationers' Company in 1677. Although the box and a note by Dublin bookseller Falkner Greirson attribute the binding to Samuel Mearne, it is so similar in tools and style to one attributed by Maggs to John Harding (Bookbinding in the British Isles, catalogue 1212, item 60), that we are confident in our re-attribution. Provenance: Shane Leslie (ex-libris to front endpaper and inscription "From the library at Golagh presented to Lady Constance Leslie by Mrs Woodwright.")

1951 Jaguar MK V 3.5 Litre Saloon- Understood to have spent its early days in Australia- Part of a private collection since 2004- Original handbook, workshop manual and wiring diagramThe contrast of its highly polished brightwork and Black bodywork serve to emphasise the graceful flowing lines of this delightful period Jaguar. Equipped with the desirable 126bhp 3.5-litre engine option for optimum performance, 'KSK 853' is understood to have spent its early days in Australia before being repatriated in 1964. It has apparently been part of a private collection since 2004, during which it has benefited from refurbishment of the braking system and, more recently, from a top end engine overhaul and new Red carpets to complement the Red leather interior trim. Never restored, the car is currently considered by the vendor to feature 'very good' straight-six engine and four-speed manual transmission, 'good' four-door bodywork and interior trim, and 'average' paintwork. It is now offered complete with its original handbook, workshop manual and wiring diagram, and a selection of tools. 7,814 3.5 Litre Saloons were manufactured before the MKV ceased production in 1951.
