[ART SOCIETY OF NEW SOUTH WALES]
The First Exhibition of the Art Society of New South Wales held at the Garden Palace. Catalogue
Sydney: Turner & Henderson 1880. In remarkable original condition. Duodecimo pp. 22 ii; original wrappers preserved in a folding cloth box. <p><p>The rare catalogue of the Society's inaugural exhibition held at the Garden Palace which had been purpose-built for the Sydney International Exhibition in 1879. An impressive two hundred and twenty oils watercolours and drawings were hung: Mrs. Alfred Williams' painting Ophelia the most expensive at £75 was highly praised by the Bulletin art critic at the time. Her identification as Mrs. Florence E. Williams gives more understanding of the high price as she had exhibited under that version of her name at the Royal Academy since her teens before coming to Australia. </p> <p>Her inclusion was significant for as Joan Kerr has noted "Florence's paintings seem unique for Australia at the time when domestic genre paintings are almost unknown." Florence was a founding member of the Art Society and had been a friend and pupil of and much influenced by Millais. As one of the very few figure paintings in the exhibition Ophelia gained most attention but she also had four other oils in the exhibition. An earlier painting not in this exhibition of a crimson Rosella set against lush vegetation and Mount Wellington was sold for a record $90000 in 2015.</p> <p>As well the catalogue notes W. C. Piguenit's Sydney Harbour from North Shore priced at £52.10.0 in modern times it reached $198000 at Melbourne auction. The catalogue also records works by Collingridge Halstead and Short as well as seven New Zealand watercolours by J C Hoyte the President of the Society. The list of "Working Members" names 80 artists and the Honorary and subscribing Members 47 notably Sir Henry Parkes.</p> <p>From 1871 the New South Wales Academy of Art had held annual exhibitions and had urged the establishment of a Public Art Gallery. This had as much to do with inter colonial rivalry - Melbourne had opened its Gallery in 1861 - as it did about fine art. Once a permanent home for the collection had been found the New South Wales Academy of Art dissolved in 1880 and it was acknowledged that an "artists' society" was needed: a society of professional artists rather than the more inclusive Academy. Artists led by Arthur and George Collingridge sought to establish an Australian school of painting and the first exhibition of The Art Society of New South Wales was held in December 1880 following its formation in July of that year. </p> <p>This catalogue notes that the Society was established for the "promotion and preservation of the Fine Arts in Sydney" and to "enable professional artists to exhibit their works advantageously." Further aims of the Society were lectures on art and a sketching club. The Life Class already established will "give rise to a greater variety in the works."</p> <p>This catalogue is a rare surviving record of the Art Society's first exhibition and succinctly captures the impressive depth of Australian Art in the late nineteenth century.</p> </p> . Provenance: John Chapman collection. Turner & Henderson unknown

[CIVIL WAR IN WALES]
The Heads of the present Greevances of the County of Glamorgan Declaring the Cause of their late rising and taking up of Armes. Published for the satisfaction of all other Counties of England and Wales who groane under the same or like burthens of Oppression and Tyrannie. Now exercised by that Arbitrarie Power and Authoritie pretended to be derived from the two Houses of Parliament throughout all His Majesties dominions by those who stile themselves Committees contrary to Justice and the known Lawes of the Land.
1647. London: n.p. 1647. Small 4to. Disbound pp. 2 6; a little toned a few stains to title light dampstaining to outer margin of A1-2 but overall a very good and crisp copy.First and only edition very rare of this denunciation of the abuses of the Parliamentarian County Committees in Wales issued at the height of the Civil War.By the summer of 1647 one surviving copy is dated in manuscript ""1 July"" the war had dragged on for nearly five years. Parliament was steadily gaining the advantage largely through the network of County Committees manned with loyal supporters. These officials collected the taxes that sustained the war effort requisitioned horses and supplies for the army and carried out Parliament's decrees. Their growing power - together with the ever-heavier burden of taxation to maintain the army - provoked widespread resentment and in turn revived support for the Royalist cause.This pamphlet sets out the grievances against the Parliamentarian committees in Glamorgan South Wales and denounces their exactions and abuses. The rising it encourages was less an expression of loyalty to Charles I than a reaction to Parliament's oppressive rule. Indeed it contains no Royalist propaganda and no expressions of loyalty to Charles. Instead it reads as a near-anarchic denunciation of arbitrary power itself of its arrogance remoteness and disregard for the people.ESTC R201640 recording only five copies BL National Library of Wales Cardiff Central Library Oxford Folger. unknown

A vintage photograph from the 1930 tour of England signed by Archie Jackson
An original vintage gelatin silver press photograph 120 × 165 mm with a typed caption mounted on the verso: 'Australians dismissed for 156 runs in their first innings against Essex at Leyton. Fairfax Australia loses his leg stump to Palmer after scoring 12 runs'. The photograph is taken from behind the wicket and includes the wicket-keeper the fieldsman at slips Alan Fairfax the cartwheeling stump and Alan Kippax the batsman at the non-striker's end. Of far greater consequence however is the signature pencilled on the verso of the image: that of Archie Jackson the New South Wales and Australian Test batsman who died of tuberculosis in 1933 at the early age of 23. Jackson and his friend and supporter Fairfax were room-mates on the 1930 tour of England which helps explain why this particular image from this tour bears his ownership signature. unknown

[First Census] Major George Graham (1801-1888), Registrar General of England & Wales, 1842-1879; Earl Grey [Henry George Grey, 3
The first Census of the British Empire. Two documents printed for Earl Grey at the Colonial Office: Major Graham's 'Memorandum' of 'suggestions' on how to take a colonial census; and a letter from Grey instructing colonial governors to prepare one.
HMSO London. The Major Graham document dated from the General Register Office Somerset House London 7 December 1848. The Grey circular dated from Downing Street 20 January 1849. Two printed documents: the first carrying Major Graham's 'Memorandum' of 'suggestions respecting the mode of taking a Census in each of our Colonial Posssessions' together with his observations on the making up of 'Statistical Abstracts' a specimen 'Form of Return' and a covering letter; the second a circular letter from Earl Grey instructing colonial governors 'to cause a Return of the Population of the Colony under your Government to be prepared'. For the background to these two documents see A. J. Christopher 'The quest for a census of the British Empire c.1840-1940' Journal of Historical Geography April 2008. No other copies of the present documents which were privately printed by Her Majesty's Stationery Office for Grey as Secretary of State for War and the Colonies have been discovered. This printing was intended for direct distribution to civil servants and MPs and certainly pre-dates the first publication of the items in for example the journals of the legislative councils of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick both in 1849. Disbound from a collection of parliamentary papers assembled by Sir Frederick Peel 1823-1906 Liberal MP for Leominster who was Under-Secretary of State for War and the Colonies 1851-1854; and Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies 1854-1855. No printed pagination but the volume as a whole was paginated in Peel's hand. Both items are in good condition. ONE: The 'Copy of Major Graham's Letter together with a Copy of the Memorandum to which it refers' referred to by Grey in Item Two below. 4pp foolscap 8vo. Paginated by Peel 163-166. Bifolium on grey paper. The first page carries a transcript including a facsimile signature of a letter from George Graham to 'B. Hawes Esq. M.P.' 1797-1862 later Sir Benjamin Hawes of the Colonial Office. Graham suggests 'that it may perhaps be expedient that steps should be taken to secure a Census being made in each of our Colonies in 1851 on or about the same day that Parliament may fix for its being taken in this Country' and begins his letter with reference to 'some suggestions respecting the mode of taking a Census in each of our Colonial Possessions' which six year before Graham 'transmitted for the use of the Secretary of State for the Colonies some suggestions respecting the mode of taking a Census in each of our Colonial Possessions as requested by Lord Stanley'. Graham is now 'about to publish the Population of England and Wales' and has 'also been furnished with the latest returns of the Population in several Countries in Europe'. It occurs to Graham 'that it might be desirable also to publish the Population of our Colonial Possessions' and he asks Hawes to 'have the goodness to call the attention of Earl Grey to this subject' and to request 'that I may be furnished with Abstracts of the Population of such of our Colonies as may have made returns upon the subject to the Colonial Office'. The letter contains two references to Graham's brother and the man who appointed him to his post 'Secretary Sir James Graham'. The second page headed 'Memorandum' of what he describes in the letter to Hawes as 'some suggestions respecting the mode of taking a Census in each of our Colonial Possessions'. The third page headed 'Statistical Abstracts' again carries a facsimile of Graham's signature to a document dated 5 August 1842 addressed from the General Register Office Somerset House. The communication begins: 'The enumerators should not be called upon to make the Abstract but should transmit the Schedules in books of a convenient form to the seat of Government; where the Abstracts should be made on an uniform plan under proper supervision.' Three examples are given of 'the great variety of ways' by which 'the facts might be combined'. The final page is headed 'Form of Return' and gives the fictitious example of the return for the family of 'John Bromley' 'English 'Farmer' who entered the colony 'COLONY. District – County Town or Parish Ward' in June 1827. TWO: Transcript of 'Circular' letter from Earl Grey to the governors of colonies directing that colonial censuses should be prepared. Peel has written the word 'Census' at the head of the page. Downing Street 20 January 1849. 1p foolscap 8vo. Paginated by Peel 161. Signed by Grey: '/sd/ Grey' why Grey would himself write '/sd/' is not clear. Printed in type imitating copperplate handwriting. The letter begins: 'A Census of the Population of England and Wales will be taken in the year 1851 and the Registrar General has suggested to me that it would be desirable to publish a similar Return for all Her Majesty's Colonial Possessions.' He is transmitting Item One above in margin: '7th December. Memo. 1842. Form.'. The letter continues: 'I have to instruct you to cause a Return of the Population of the Colony under your Government to be prepared in the manner prescribed in the annexed Form as far as may be practicable without incurring expenditure which cannot be conveniently provided for.' Graham's suggestion 'that it would be desirable that a Census in each of the Colonies should if possible be taken on or about the same day as that on which it may be fixed to be taken in this Country … can of course only be acted upon in the event of the Legislature of blank space here having it in contemplation to direct such a Return to be made'. He suggests that in such cases Graham's 'recommendation' be submitted to the consideration of the legislatures. It seems see Wikipedia that Australia didn't have a NATIONAL census until 1911 though states submitted figures before Canada in 1871 etc. Clause 4 of the Memorandum sates: "It will be desirable where there is a difficulty in obtaining information respecting the Aborigines to confine the enquiry to males aged 20 years and upwards - the 'fighting men . The supposed number of females of all ages and males under the age of 20 may however be stated."

[Gerald du Barry, of Wales]
Giraldi Cambrensis. Opera. Edited by J.S. Brewer Vols. I II III and Rev. James F. Dimock Vols. V VI
London: Longman et. al. 1868. 5 of 8 volumes royal 8vo; text in Latin; ex-MHS with usual markings some pages slightly browned hinges cracked in vol. III extremities and spines rubbed some spine ends chipped and cracked covers slightly scuffed else good in contemporary quarter brown morocco gilt over black paper-covered boards or dark blue cloth. The first three volumes contain extracts from the historical works of Gerald du Barry a Welsh noble and churchman of the twelfth century. He attempted to establish the independence of Wales by restoring the see of St. David's to its ancient primacy. Volume I contains the De Rebus a se gestis an autobiography; Invectionum libelli a reply to calumnies circulated against him; Symbolum electorum which contains his letters and poetry; and other letters and poems. Volume II contains the Gemma Ecclesiastica a manual for the parish priests of Wales which presents a true and vivid picture of the Welsh clergy in the 13th century. Volume III contains the first four books of the Invectionum libelli a merciless attack on Giraldus' enemies; the De Menevensi ecclesia dialogus written for Stephen Langton on the Welsh clergy; and the Vita St. David. Volume V contains the Topographia Hibernica and the Expugnatio Hibernica. The former is the result of Giraldus' visits to Ireland; his account of Irish history is unreliable but the work is valuable for his observations of natural history. He records his own acute observations on the animals of Ireland in addition to recounting traditional medieval legends on them. The Expugnatio is poetical book of prophesy. Volume VI contains the Itinerarium Kambriae et Descriptio Kambriae a description of Wales and its people. Longman, [et. al.] unknown

The Thain family is featured in the book "From Amroth to Utah" by Roscoe Howells. Flake 1783. From the Preface to the Twenty-Second Edition-<br /> <br /> "No book published by or for the Latter-day Saints has run through so many editions or been sold so extensively as the Hymn Book of which this is the twenty-second edition. The demand for it continues unabated and since the publication of the Latter-day Saints' Psalmody which contains music for every hymn in this book a new interest has been added to it and its usefulness enhanced. In this edition will be found a metrical index which the book formerly did not contain. This feature will be especially valuable to choirs. A few hymns have also been added to the end of the volume. That these additions may prove acceptable to the public and that the book may continue its cheering and consoling mission indefinitely is the desire of The Publishers. Salt Lake City Utah. June 1897.

[New South Wales Pastoralists]. [FORSTER, Frank F] BUSHWAKA
'Way back when wool was 20/- a lb'. A very large collage comprising 47 original individual caricatures of well-known pastoral identities 'Portrait sketches by Bushwaka' - black ink on paper mounted on heavy card
The sketches range between 100-140 mm high and 70-90 mm wide two are smaller; they are mounted in five roughly straight lines with their names and regional addresses or rural industry employers added in ballpoint pen to the mount. It is behind glass in its original and appropriately rustic white-painted wooden frame external dimensions 770 × 970 mm visible image size 595 × 800 mm. There is a Royal Easter Show Art Prize Exhibitions label on the verso identifying the artist as Frank F. Forster 10 Walker Ave Narrabeen. The asking price on the label was $100 indicating it was exhibited on this occasion after the introduction of decimal currency February 1966 but it looks earlier perhaps 1940s-50s: just count the hats!. Whether this was the artist's intention or whether it is indeed a product of an earlier time we cannot say but it certainly hits the spot. These are not just caricatures they are clearly characters presumably mates of Bushwaka himself: Cunningham Henderson of Casino; O.O.H. Dangar of Narrandera; C.J. Chisholm of Khancoban; A.H. Jeffreys and D.H. McKay of Delegate; Bert Parkes of Collarenabri; Mick Raleigh and Jack Watts of Wagga; E.H. Turner of Gunning . and on it goes. Cunningham Henderson died at the age of 89 in December 1954; although he is depicted as an elderly gentleman in this group portrait there is no sense of 'In Memoriam' about it. The last word on the subject goes to Year Book Australia 2000 page 447: 'Prosperity in the wool industry peaked in 1950-51 when the average greasy wool price reached 144.19 pence per pound'. unknown

[New South Wales Lancer Regiment and First Australian Horse]. WILKINSON, Frank
Australian Cavalry. The NSW Lancer Regiment and First Australian Horse
Sydney: Angus and Robertson 1901. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. Sydney Angus and Robertson 1901. Quarto x 64 pages with an illustration plus 8 plates but lacking the colour frontispiece called for by Dornbusch. Modern binder's cloth with the front panel of the original green wrapper printed in red mounted on the front board; text block tide-marked near the head of the spine with the plates a little stained; some discolouration and foxing heavy in places; minor signs of age and use; a decent copy of an absolute rarity. This history of these two cavalry units from their foundation through to the end of the Boer War is 'undoubtedly a regimental record but it is something more - it is an attempt to explain and to some extent combat the unreasoning prejudice which has grown up as a result of the South African campaign against the cavalry arm of the service. On this point Mr. Wilkinson says:- "It is my purpose to show not only that cavalry regiments like the New South Wales Lancers have done equal yeoman service to the Empire in the South African struggle with their comrades in the other branches of the service but that they have done infinitely more as the pioneers of the cavalry movement in Australia to enhance the value of our defence force and to shew the world of what fighting stuff our men are made"' from a review in the 'Daily Telegraph' 12 October 1901. The last 18 pages contain numerous appendices including nominal and casualty rolls. <p>Dornbusch 126; Fielding and O'Neill page 126. Angus and Robertson hardcover

[New South Wales] Markham, W G
Boomanoomana Station from across the Murray River . Cabinet Card with American Merino Rams pedigree of sheep by W. G. Markham consigned to Alfred Hay of Boomanoomana in 1883 Catalogue
1883. Albumen cabinet card with original photograph of the Australian station now located in the township called Barooga. Photograph on card with printed border the title written in pencil on verso. A small station house is visible at the right side of the image with a long wooden fence bordering the river. <br /> <br /> The area which later became Boomanoomana Station was first settled in the early 1800’s by Colonel Henry Gwynne who arrived there in the footsteps of Charles Sturt. By 1863 the station got its name when William Hay acquired 80000 acres. The property extended from Corowa in the east to Tuppal Station in the west and was quite wooded therefore suitable for cattle. But Hay wanted to establish a sheep station so he sold off his cattle cleared the trees at great effort and fenced the land purchasing merino sheep from established stations. Hay built a homestead which still stands; it was owned by Sir David Hay 1916 - 2009 head of Aboriginal Affairs Administrator of Papua New Guinea and Ambassador to the UN who restored the grounds and buildings to original condition. <br /> 3 1/2 x 6 1/2" image on card 4 1/2 x 6 1/2". Cabinet card not recorded in Trove.<br /> with <br /> American Merino Rams recorded in the American Merino Register selected by W. G. Markham Avon NY USA from the best American Flocks. Shipped from San Francisco California June 1883. Consignee: Alfred Hay Esq. Boomanoomana Mulwala New South Wales Australia. <br /> <br /> W. G. Markham was heavily involved in the exportation of merinos to Australia. He convinced Australian wool growers that introducing American merinos into the Australia flock would increase their weight and this was very successful. The purchaser here is Alfred Hay 1846 - 1918 the son of William Hay who established Boomanoomana Station. Alfred Hay became sole owner of Boomanoomana Station in 1886 after the dissolution of the partnership between his father himself and brother. Boomanoomana Station at the time consisted of 33000 acres of freehold and about 5000 acres of Crown lands.<br /> <br /> Markham was mentioned in many articles about Australian wool growing. In the "Pacific Rural Press" Volume 36 Number 24 15 December 1888 it reads: "We imagine it was this large purchase of sheep by Mr. Samuel McCaughey which started that genial globetrotter in the sheep interest Mr. W. G. Markham of Western New York on a pleasure trip to Australia last summer. Mr. Markham made us a call in California on his way out but did not disclose his business. We imagine that he went to see if there were any more sheep buyers like Mr. McCaughey in Australia and turn their attention to the flock of Western New York as well as to those of the Green Mountain State. It might not be amiss for some of our California breeders to Blip over to the Island continent just to see how things are over there." Samuel McCaughey of Melbourne was reputed to be the owner of a million sheep and one of the most influential wool producers in Australia. <br /> <br /> The pedigree published in New York 1883. 17 pp text with a fold-out pedigree of Ranzin 464. Oblong 12mo orig. brown mat boards with gilt. "Compliments of W. G. Markham" on the front cover black cloth spine. Slt. watermark on back board otherwise pristine. unknown
