Charles Bestland (Cantelowe or Cantlo Bestland) of the Royal Academy Schools [Col Serle; James Millar, Encyclopaedia Britannica
Charles Bestland Cantelowe Bestland Royal Academy Schools artist. Twelve Regency pencil portraits for engraving middle-class sitters including James Millar Encyclopaedia Britannica editor; Col. Serle; members of Trenchard family of Dorset.
English. The twelve dated in pencil between 1811 and 1829. Twelve pencil portraits executed in the same extremely capable style probably for the purposes of engraving. Each on a separate piece of 4to paper. All in good condition with light signs of age and wear a couple with minor flecking with red paint. All dated in pencil between 1811 and 1829 and all but two captioned. Several of the items with watermark date supporting the pencil dating. Three of the portraits have the tiny signature at bottom left of 'Bestland' and all would appear to be the work of the same artist although the last appears to be signed with the initials 'C H'. Apparently the work of the artist and engraver Charles Bestland 1763-c.1837 otherwise Cantelowe Bestland possibly of West End Hampstead who entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1779 as 'Cantlo Bestland' and exhibited miniatures from 1783 to 1837. See the 1802 engraving by 'Cantelowe Bestland' of Henry Singleton's painting of the Royal Academicians in council. Several embossed with details of a Bath stationers and a number of the sitters from Dorset perhaps implying a West Country connection. The last of the twelve is of particular interest as it is depicts a countryman while the other eleven portraits are of members of the middle classes. The only sitter of note is the editor of the fourth edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica James Millar 1762-1827 of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh lecturer at Edinburgh University. The sketch in light pencil is on a 22.5 x 18.5 cm piece of watermarked laid paper captioned in pencil at top left 'J Millar Esqr. March 20. 1823'. It shows a seated Millar in early old age in waistcoat and unbuttoned frock coat holding a book or papers in his right hand. The only other likeness of Millar noted in his entry in the Oxford DNB a crayon drawing by John Henning now in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery shows a younger Millar in profile but the set of the mouth and lower face are the same. The other eleven portraits are as follows. TWO: 28 March 1811. 'Mrs Donne' wife of Rev. Henry Donne 1767-1830 of Cranborne Dorset whose obituary see in Gent. Mag. August 1830 Seated shrewd old lady in bonnet. THREE: 20 September 1811. Head and shoulders of balding old man in buttoned jacket staring with set mouth at viewer. FOUR: 30 November 1814. 'Mrs Cooper'. Only the head of a middle-aged woman with ringlets. FIVE: 12 November 1821. 'Mr Trenchard Pickard Monday November 12 1821 at Doctors Commons' John Trenchard Pickard later John Trenchard Trenchard d.1875 of Greenhill House Dorset Seated owlish young man in stock and buttoned frock coat. SIX: 19 June 1823. 'Robert Belt Esqr' d.1839 of the Inner Temple see obituary in Gent. Mag. February 1840 Signed 'Bestland'. Self-important figure in frock coat standing with hand on hip. SEVEN: 10 November 1823. 'Mrs Bridge'. Seated portly older woman in bonnet. EIGHT: 18 October 1823. 'Mr W. Trenchard' William Trenchard d.1830 of Litchet Maltravers Dorset see his obituary Gent. Mag. January 1830 Signed 'Bestland'. Upper body of seated older man in stock and buttoned jacket calmly seated with hands clasped on lap. NINE: 21 December 1824. 'Colol. Serle'. Col. Peter Serle d.1826South Hants Militia of Montague Place Russell Square whose daughter married Horace Twiss Signed 'Bestland'. Seated balding old man flapping book on right knee. TEN: 6 October 1827. 'Mrs Pain'. Attractive younger woman in bonnet head finished with outline of body. ELEVEN: 29 April 1829. Young man in stock and buttoned jacket hair somewhat unkempt. TWELVE: October 1829. Striking image of countryman with stick cradling in his arms a broadbrimmed hat while staring at the viewer. 'At the Revd Prettyman's Sherington'. i.e. taken at the vicarage of Rev.

CHINESE SUTRA, SONG DYNASTY, YUANJUE (or ZIFU or SIXI) CANON
Juan fascicle no. 6 of 7 of the Chinese translation of Itivrttaka sutra Benshi jing 本事經; Sutra on Original Occurrence
Trans. by Xuanzang 玄奘 in 650 CE. 70 pages six columns per page 30 columns per sheet 17 characters per column. 14 sheets average sheet length: 570 mm. five pages per sheet. Accordion format 305 x 7980 mm. print surface from top border to bottom border: 245–250 mm. Single woodcut borders at top & bottom of text. Orig. sutra binding of semi-stiff paper wrappers. Woodblocks carved by Ge Fang & Ma Qing & others in Sixi present day Huzhou printed between 1110s/40s–1276.<br /> <BR> <BR> This fascicle in its original sutra binding was printed in the 12th or 13th century in northern Zhejiang China as part of an extremely rare edition of the Buddhist canon variously known as the Yuanjue Canon Zifu Canon or Sixi Canon. Examples very rarely appear on the market. This edition of the Buddhist canon was for a long time largely unknown in China until the famous Chinese book collector and scholar Yang Shoujing 1839-1915 brought a set back from Japan in the late 19th century. Now in a Chinese library this is the only near-complete set as far as we know the rest being single sutras.<br /> <BR> <BR> Yuanjue Zifu or Sixi Canon: The three names refer to some or all of the imprints of the Chinese Tripitaka made from a set of blocks that were carved in a place called Sixi present-day Huzhou in what was then Songting township Guian county Hu prefecture part of the Circuit of the eastern and western Zhe of the Southern Song.<br /> <BR> <BR> Sixi one of the names retrospectively used for this edition was the location of Yuanjue Meditation Hall founded in 1119-25 where the printing blocks were housed and perhaps carved. Sometime after 1239 the hall’s name may have changed to Fabao Zifu lit. “Dharma jewel supplying happiness†Meditation Temple whence Zifu Canon.<br /> <BR> <BR> Bibliographic scholarship has dated certain imprints of this canon to either the period of Yuanjue Meditation Hall or that of Fabao Zifu Meditation Temple calling imprints dating from the earlier period Yuanjue Canon or “first Sixi canon†qian Sixi jing and imprints from the later period Zifu Canon or “second Sixi canon†hou Sixi jing. On the basis of a comparison of two catalogues of the canon — one claiming to be of the Yuanjue Canon and one of the Zifu Canon — it was believed that a substantial amount of re-carving had taken place between the Yuanjue and Zifu canons. However the catalogue purportedly of the Zifu Canon has been shown in fact to have been based not on an inventory of a set of the Zifu Canon but on another unrelated catalogue. Thus there is no reason to assume that a substantial amount of re-carving of the blocks took place after the temple changed its name and ipso facto there is no reason to posit the existence of two Sixi canons. Printings ascribed to the Yuanjue and Zifu canons belong to the same edition of the Chinese Tripitaka printed at various times during a period that stretched over a century. Blocks were repaired and replaced during this period but not to the extent that would justify calling them two editions.<br /> <BR> <BR> The Timing of Carving and Printing: The sources are ambiguous as to when carving of the blocks began. Li Fuhua and He Mei state that the carving began in 1126 whereas Wang Chonglong says it began before 1110 and thus not at the Yuanjue Hall which had not yet been founded and agrees with others that it likely had finished in 1132. It has also been proposed however that carving only began in 1132. Finally 1140 has been proposed as another completion date. Therefore we can say with confidence that the initial set of blocks was carved sometime between the 1110s and 1140s.<br /> <BR> <BR> Once the blocks were carved they were used for printing for a long time. Some printings can be dated because they contain colophons. <br /> <BR> <BR> Liu Yuantang has documented three instances of blocks being mended buban: in 1238 1248 and 1250. The blocks were burned by the invading Mongols in 1276 which is thus the terminus ante quem for prints from the Yuanjue Canon.<br /> <BR> <BR> Our Copy and the Yuanjue / Zifu Canon: Benshi jing is marked with the ordinal character shen 甚 in five editions of the Chinese Tripitaka. Of these five only the Yuanjue Canon also known as the Zifu or Sixi Canon is a possible candidate. More precisely our copy appears to be from a late printing of the Zifu Canon dating from sometime in the latter portion of the period 1110s/1140s-1276. The vast majority of extant sutras from this edition of the canon are late printings. They have the following characteristics:<br /> <BR> <BR> 1. Sheets folded into five pages with six columns per page 30 per sheet and 17 characters per column.<br /> <BR> <BR> 2. Glosses appended to the end of the volume.<br /> <BR> <BR> 3. Single woodcut borders at top and bottom of text. For earlier printings of this edition one source specifies that the borders go around on all four sides but for the later printings the same source simply says “single-lined margin frame†danxian biankuang 單線邊框. This would appear to suggest borders also at the beginning and the end of each sheet.<br /> <BR> <BR> 4. No empty column before the beginning of the text on the first page.<br /> <BR> <BR> 5. Small-script numerals marking the number of the sheet are printed at the beginning of every sheet as opposed to in the crease between pages for example except for the first sheet.<br /> <BR> <BR> 6. Printed area of roughly 570 mm. long and 250 mm. wide.<br /> <BR> <BR> The sutra has a total of seven fascicles juan of which we have fascicle six. The upper cover and the first line of the first page both have the character shen in manuscript on the cover which is here used as an ordinal drawn from Qianzi wen åƒå—æ–‡ The Thousand Character Essay to arrange the sutras of the Chinese Tripitaka.<br /> <BR> <BR> Layout and Appearance of Our Copy: Unsurprisingly for a very large printing project that took many years not all the sutras of the Yuanjue Canon have the same appearance. Yet the dimensions of our copy agree with other known copies: five pages per woodblock six columns per page 17 characters per column. Other non-official Song editions of the Buddhist canon Chongning and Pilu have six pages per block but the same number of columns per page and characters per column.<br /> <BR> <BR> The measurements of our copy accord with copies of other sutras from the same edition of the canon held by the Gansu Provincial Library in Lanzhou the National Palace Museum in Taipei and the Gotoh Museum outside of Tokyo. The layout of our copy accords with that of a different sutra from the same canon that has been reprinted in facsimile in unknown

Chisenhall, E ; ( or Halsall, E)
A Journal of the Siege of Lathom House in Lancashire : Defended by Charlotte de La Tremouille Countess of Derby against Sir Thomas Fairfax Kt and Other Parliamentarian Officers
Harding Mayor and Lepard London first edition 1823. Original boards with original paper cover-label rebacked in cloth small 8vo. 78 2 pp. From the introduction: "The following Journal of a celebrated siege on which the Novel of Peveril of the Peak has conferred additional interest differs materially from any accounts of it which have been previously given to the public. It appears from internal evidence to have been composed in the intervals of action and to have been completed before the spring of 1644 when Lathom which is described as entire in one of the concluding paragraphs was demolished: and the author was certainly an inmate of the mansion and a man acquainted with classical literature who retained the provincialisms of Lancashire but had formed a regular style by habits of composition. Within the narrow circle thus left for conjecture one literary character will be found Colonel Edward Chisenhall of Chisenhall author of "Catholike History;" but as the journalist mentions his known courage and mercy mingled with valour the reader must judge for himself whether these compliments are sufficient to overbalance all the other strong coincidences which point to this officer as the probable author. He must however remember that the work was written when the delicacy peculiar to modern days would operate with comparative weakness on the author of an anonymous narrative composed under circumstances of unusual excitement and possibly never intended for publication. The MS. from which the present little volume is printed forms part of a collection of tracts relating to the local struggles in Lancashire during the great civil war preserved in the library of a gentleman of that county by whom it was presented to the publishers." The journal has also been attributed to Edward Halsall. 1841 ownership inscription of Richard Smithson on front free endpaper which is somewhat creased covers rubbed contents lightly agetoned otherwise Good.

CHO, Sŏg-u (or Jo Seog-u) 曺錫雨, ed
ChÅngjae Cho SÅnsaeng silgi or Jeongjae Jo seonsaeng silgi éœé½‹æ›¹å…ˆç”Ÿå¯¦ç´€ True Record of Teacher Cho of the Tranquil Studio
Woodblock-printed. 56 folding leaves. Two juan in one vol. Large 8vo 310 x 210 mm. orig. yellow patterned semi-stiff wrappers orig. stitching. YÅngch’Ån: 1854.<br /> <br> <br> <br /> <br /> First edition of this collection including the life and writings of Cho Sang-ch’i or Jo Sang-chi 曺尙治 fl. 1419-55 a prominent official in the early ChosÅn period. From an early age Cho studied “writings on human nature and principle†sÅngni chi sŠ性ç†ä¹‹æ›¸ — that is Neo-Confucianism. As one text on his life put it he “took this Confucian culture of ours as his personal duty.†Cho’s life was tied up with the factional conflicts that saw Sejo’s usurpation of the ChosÅn throne in 1455. Cho was among the “large number†of officials who “viewed the new ruler with distaste on moral grounds†Edward W. Wagner The Literati Purges: Political Conflict in Early Yi Korea p. 9.<br /> <br> <br> After Sejo demoted the previous king giving him the title Prince Nosan and subsequently had him killed Cho “got hold of a stone and neither cutting nor polishing it wrote in his own hand and had it inscribed ‘Here rests Cho Sang-ch’i the exiled Deputy Education Intendant of the court of Nosan’.†As recounted in one of the texts gathered in this collection he thus signaled his opposition to the new king. Cho was posthumously honored in the late 18th century.<br /> <br> <br> The book contains a Prefaces by Pak YÅng-wÅn 朴永元 1791-1854 and Yi Han-Ång æŽæ¼¢è†º 1778-1864 the latter dated 1854 and the colophon by Yi Hwi-ryÅng æŽå½™å¯§ 1788-1861.<br /> <br> <br> Interesting features of our book include the use of the reign of the Korean kings for dating — “kabÅn the sixth year of the reign of the present king Ch’Åljong†上之å…年甲寅 is the date of Yi’s Preface — and the margins that cut through columns where the first character has been raised in deference to the dynasty.<br /> <br> <br> A note toward the end of juan 1 9a says that the two pieces that follow had been missed when the book was “first printed†ch’ogan åˆåˆŠ implying an earlier edition. We are not aware that one is extant however.<br /> <br> <br> Cho SÅg-u is listed as the author in the Korean Old and Rare Collection Information System as well as in the Jangseogak catalogue whence our attribution of authorship.<br /> <br> <br> Fine copy.<br /> <br /> <br> <br> References<br /> <br> <br> Encyclopedia of Korean Culture í•œêµë¯¼ì¡±ë¬¸í™”ëŒ€ë°±ê³¼ì‚¬ì „. https://encykorea.aks.ac.kr/ <br /> <br> <br> Digital Jangseogak. https://jsg.aks.ac.kr/ <br /> <br> <br> Korean Old and Rare Collection Information System í•œêµê³ 문헌종합목ë¡. unknown
