Bulmer & W. Nicol 1820-29.<br/> <br/> The catalogue "sumptuously printed" by Bulmer of the magnificent library of King George III 1738-1820 donated to the nation by his son George IV. This is a royal copy having belonged to Ernest Augustus Duke of Cumberland and the fifth son of George III who became King of Hanover in 1837. It is superbly bound in red straight-grained morocco and printed on paper superior to other sets. <br/> <br/> "The kings of England had from the end of the fifteenth century always shown a certain taste for fine books especially for the handsomer volumes of their own day.A new library was started in 1765 by King George III when he purchased for 10000 pounds the valuable collection of incunabula with a few manuscripts brought together by Joseph Smith 1682-1770 the British Consul at Venice. <br/> <br/> "George III continued adding to his library for nearly fifty years buying with considerable discrimination at all the notable sales of the period; he secured the best books at the West Ratcliffe and Askew auctions built up a magnificent collection of English plays and kept on right up to the Roxburghe sale 1812. His usual agents were Messrs Nicol the booksellers but he seems to have obtained from the Continent some extremely valuable incunabula by the assistance of one Horn of Ratisbon a great despoiler of the German convents. <br/> <br/> "There is a sumptuously printed but hastily compiled catalogue of which copies are seldom met with."-De Ricci pp. 55-56. <br/> <br/> "As a boy George III had received an excellent education. He learned Latin well enough to be able to read the classics; French and German; history geography and the British political system; mathematics and elementary science; art architecture and music. After he left the schoolroom he continued his education under the Earl of Bute an inspiring if somewhat pedantic tutor.Under his tuition the King developed wide cultural interests a reverence for scholarship and the instinct of a collector. <br/> <br/> "The King's aim was.to acquire a library which contained every book which an eighteenth-century scholar could desire. It was a library to be used not simply to be admired.It was as far as it could be in the eighteenth century a universal library.It is rich in library catalogues. In addition to the catalogues of British libraries there are catalogues from France Italy Spain Portugal Germany Belgium Switzerland Sweden Poland and Russia. There are over five hundred sale catalogues most British and most with the prices marked. <br/> <br/> "It was the King's wish that a catalogue should be published but he postponed this as long as possible. When it became clear after 1812 that the King would never recover Queen Charlotte and the Prince Regent urged the preparation of a catalogue. It was compiled by Barnard and published between 1820 and 1829 in five folio volumes.It was never offered for sale but copies were presented to heads of state and the great libraries in the United Kingdom and on the Continent. It is today an extremely rare book."John Brooke "The Library of King George III" in The Yale University Library Gazette Vol. 52 No. 1 July 1977 pp. 33-45. <br/> <br/> "Frederick Barnard had begun the catalogue of the books and manuscripts of the King's Library while it was at Buckingham House. The catalogue was completed.by Barnard and his staff for the Trustees of the British Museum and printed in five volumes between 1820 and 1829.Very few copies were printed none for sale and they are now very rare."-Paintin The King's Library p. 22. <br/> <br/> This copy lacks the engraved frontispiece portrait of Bernard. A sixth volume issued separately in 1829 and not present here describes the maps prints and drawings. <br/> <br/> A magnificent set. From the library of Prince Ernest Augustus Duke of Cumberland and the subsequent Kings of Hanover. <br/> <br/> Miller That Noble Cabinet p. 125"one of the finest libraries ever created by one man.By the time of the King's death the collection amounted to 65250 volumes besides 19000 unbound tracts. unknown

560232 hand-coloured woodcuts copied from the illustrations in The Universal Magazine for October and November 1761 the first taken as the Archbishop of Canterbury places the Crown on the King's head is lettered with explanations of the crowded scene including at h 'The Dukes of Normandie and Acquitain and other great officers' the second similarly explained shows the King's Champion flanked by the Earl Marshal and Lord High Constable riding up the centre between the long tables watched by the diners and the others present in the galleries printed within a 'Greek Key' border both referring to 22nd September 1761 laid down on two separate album leaves 10" x 7¾" with other items on the versos the two prints no date circa edges worn and border trimmed in places without loss to text or image The original articles of 1761 explain the role at the Dinner of the King's Champion who challenged any one to assert that George III was not their lawful sovereign and the 'Dukes of Normandy and Aquitaine' at the Coronation. The French King had anciently a council of twelve great Peers 6 lay and 6 ecclesiastic. Long after the council ceased to function the ecclesiastics attended at Reims but the lay peerages had became vested in the crown. So the King appointed people to represent his lay peerages. Henry II liked this idea which was last used in 1761 given that in 1801 Great Britain renounced all claims to France and the use of the lilies on her coat of arms. On the versos are 1 a pleasing engraving of Bouverie Hall Chart next Sutton Valence Kent and 2 a number of cuttings including temperance verses and the monument to Captain Charles Colby of the 98th Dragoons killed by a tiger at 'Rawal Pinde' 27th March 1852. unknown
18092120802<i>Folio 4pp. with docket on fourth page "George Harrison Gent. Not stamped. Mr. Solicitor declines at present signing the Bill for this patent. S.G. Wyatt"; </i><i>folded and unbound as issued in very good state of preservation.</i><br /><br />A fascinating document which seems however not after all to have ended in a grant for a patent. George Harrison claims that "he is in possession of an invention communicated to him by an ingenious individual of a new method or methods of conveying information from one apartment of a house to another by means of an apparatus which he calls a "Domestic Telegraph" which invention he conceives will be of great public utility. That the same is entirely new and has never been practised or used in this country by any other person or persons to the best of his knowledge & belief". George Harrison not only does not disclose the name of the inventor he also petitions for the patent to be in his own name. No such patent in Harrison's name is included in Woodcroft's definitive Alphabetical Index. It is possibly that Harrison was trying to be a bit too clever as the award of a patent was conditional on Harrison producing "a particular description of the nature of the said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed".<br /><br />George III's signature here seems in some way to illustrate both his mental illness and his approaching blindness. Little more than a year after signing this document he became dangerously ill and finally accepted the need for the 1811 Regency Act. In 1809 Lord Liverpool was Home Secretary in the Duke of Portland's government.
