14279Edinburgh. 13 February 1836. 3pp. folio. On two loose leaves each with one torn edge. The blank reverse of the second leaf is addressed in manuscript to 'The Bank of Scotland Edinbr' with two postmarks and pencil docketting. The heading is followed by a long list of those present beginning with 'Mr THOMAS MILLAR for the Incorporation of Skinners and Furriers' and ending with 'ALEXANDER WRIGHT Esq. chose Preses'. There follows a minute of the meeting by 'ALEX. WRIGHT' beginning: 'Colonel MACDONALD after explaining to the Meeting the circumstances which induced Mr DUNSMURE and him to call them together proposed that a Committee should be appointed to frame a circular to the Creditors requesting them to be upon their guard not to commit themselves prematurely or without due inquiry to approve of Mr. LABOUCHERE's Report'. Wright's statement is followed by one by 'WM. MACDONALD Convener' beginning: 'The Committee in reference to the prefixed Minute beg to acquaint you that the Meeting in question was called in consequence of it having come to the knowledge of several gentlemen deeply interested as Creditors in the affairs of the City that parties opposed to the general interest of the Creditors were taking active measures to work upon their fears as to their prospect of ultimate payment with the view of inducing them to accede to the composition proposed by Mr LABOUCHERE.' The third page carries a mandate form which has not been completed. According to a parliamentary report 'In January 1836 the Right honourable H. Labouchere Vice-President of the Board of Trade visited Edinburgh and Leith in compliance with the wishes of Lord Melbourne and the Chancellor of the Exchequer as expressed in their letter to him of 25th September 1835 on the subject of the financial affairs of the city'. Labouchere subsequently produced a report recommending the restructuring of the 'debt now due on account of the docks at Leith'. No other copy traced. Edinburgh. 13 February 1836. unknown

005679[Droit - Ecosse], Recueil des pièces présentées à sa Majesté très-chrétienne, à la Tournelle du Parlement de Paris, & à M. de Sartine, Lieutenant Général de Police ; En conséquence de deux Jugemens portés par la Cour de Session en Ecosse ; le premier daté du 27 Juillet, & le second du 11 Août présente année 1763 [etc.]. Paris, Michel Lambert, 1763. In-4, [2]-51p. Intéressant document autour d'une des plus importantes affaires du XVIIIe siècle. La sour du dernier duc de Douglas (1694-1761), Lady Jane Douglas (1698-1753) se serait mariée en secret au chevalier John Stewart de Grandtully (1687-1764), sympathisant jacobite réfugié en France. En 1748, Jane informe son frère de la naissance de jumeaux, Archibald et Sholto. Ce dernier mourra comme sa mère en 1753. Le duc refusa de reconnaître cette naissance et coupa les vivres à sa sour. Suite à son mariage avec Margaret Douglas de Mains, le duc accepta de reconnaître la naissance de son neveu. Après la mort du duc, les Hamilton contestèrent l'héritage. Bien que la cour statuât contre le neveu en 1767, la Chambre des Lords inversa la décision, sans appel possible. Les deux jugements reproduits ici indiquent que toute la procédure faite en France n'a aucune valeur en Ecosse. Une des conséquences est que les témoins des Hamilton ne pourraient pas répondre en Ecosse car, selon l'usage écossais, un témoin ne peut comparaître qu'une seule fois. Reliure bradel demi-parchemin (début XXe), titre manuscrit. Intéressant document.

11107With manuscript inscription dated 1871. 4to 2 pp. On first leaf of a bifolium. Text clear and complete. Good on lightly-aged laid paper with watermark of 'A ANNANDALE & SONS'. Stuck down on the reverse of the blank second leaf of the bifolium is a square of paper from the leaf to which it was attached in an album and beneath this square visible when held up to the light is the inscription: 'Imperfectly printed Annie Stirling Stuart Castlemilk 1871'. The poem is 48 lines long arranged in twelve stanzas. Signed 'H. M. E.' in type at end perhaps one of the Erskines relations by marriage of the Stirling-Stuart family. A lament for 'happy youth! too quickly sped Within these old grey towers'. First stanza reads: 'THE autumn winds are moaning Around the old square tower Where once three hundred years ago Was Scottish Mary's Bower.' The reference is to Cassilton Tower around which Castlemilk House was built where Mary Queen of Scots stayed on the eve of the Battle of Langside 1568. References to the 'Tay bridge' and 'great city' i.e. Glasgow. Last stanza: 'The memory of our early home Its fairest lustre shed O'er lives that blossom in good deeds That live when we are dead!' Excessively scarce: no copy in the National Library of Scotland on COPAC or WorldCat. Castlemilk House was built around Cassilton Tower which was started in 1460 on the site of a 13th-century castle. The five-hundred-year-old Castlemilk House was demolished by Glasgow Corporation in 1969 to make way for an ill-advised housing project. Castlemilk is now a district of Glasgow.

Twenty leaves on heavy stiff paper stock. With 18 illustrations by Wycliffe Taylor printed in sepia, accompanying an appropriate verse. Oblong folio. 370 x 280 mm. Original pictorial paper covered boards binding, lettered and decorated in red. Binding worn at the edges, but overall very good. Harry Cumberland Bentley (1861-1913) was an English sporting author and poet. He was famed as the 'Bard of the Pytchley Hunt.' In this book there is a 1930 manuscript presentation from 'Mouse Bentley'. This is probably the author's daughter - Violet Esmé Hawkesworth (Field) (Hassall) (Bury) (Bentley) [1898-1986]. Fanciful imagination has pictured a trout swimming up the River Ayr, passing into the Lugar Water at Barskimming, entering the Black Loch via the Glaisnock Water and thence into the Black Loch. The second outflow from the loch would carry the trout into Creoch Loch, then into the Loch o' th' Lowes, the River Nith and finally into the Solway Firth after a journey of around seventy miles. A very scarce and attractive angling title. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! OVERSIZE 1 / DC1
Three volumes. 8vo. Uncut. Foxed. Bound in the original boards, which have become quite worn and broken. This true First Edition would make a good candidate for classy rebinding. "Kenilworth was born out of Constable's suggestion to write a novel set during the time of Queen Elizabeth; however, Scott rejected the suggestion that it be entitled "The Armada" because he had other ideas than centring the novel on the epic events of the invasion. He based the novel around the legend of the murder of Amy Robsart, a story told in Meikle's old ballad, which had been one of Scott's favourite poems. However, Scott did accept Constable's suggestion of naming the novel Kenilworth instead of "Cumnor Hall". The publisher applauded this decision with the exclamation: "By God, I am all but the author of the Waverley Novels!" When Kenilworth appeared in 1821 it was an immediate success with both readers and critics. The Edinburgh Review praised Scott for bringing to life the character of Queen Elizabeth, and for the way in which he contrasted the evil plotting of Varney against the grandeur of Kenilworth Castle." It was a grand best-seller on both sides of the Atlantic. FIRST EDITION / FIRST ISSUE. W151.
