Bibliothecae Regiae Catalogus. Compiled by Frederick Augusta Barnard
1820. Mezzotint frontis. port. of George III a little foxed arms on each title & two engraved views of the library serving as head- & tailpieces. Five vols. Large folio cont. red straight-grained morocco minor scuffing panelled & tooled in gilt with centerpiece stamped monogram "GR" surmounted by a crown on covers spines gilt dentelles gilt a.e.g. London: W. 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."Â-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."ÂJohn 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."-ÂPaintin 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. 125Â"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

'An Exact Representation of the Coronation. at Westminster' and of 'The Coronation Dinner in Westminster Hall' 1738-1820 King of Great Britain and his Queen CHARLOTTE 1744-1818 née Princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
2 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

A PETITION FOR THE GRANTING OF A PATENT BY GEORGE HARRISON FOR A ROYAL PATENT DOMESTIC TELEGRAPH
<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.

The Spanish ship San Cristoforo was captured in the Mediterranean by HMS Anson under the command of William Cracraft on December 8 1804. She was carrying a cargo of hides and other products from Montevideo in the New World and was bound for Barcelona. The Anson was at the time acting independently of the rest of the British fleet under the specific orders of Lord Viscount Nelson and after the capture Cracraft sent the Spanish ship to Malta where the value of the prize was assessed. The Judge of the Vice Admiralty Court of the island of Malta determined in April 1805 that the ship's cargo be sold at Malta. The proceeds of the sale of goods - a sum of £12133 - was remitted in bills to the Bank of England. 1. 1806. May 29. King's Warrant.

Roll of foreign accounts
s.i.: s.n. 1788 Manuscript on paper. Seven joined vellum membranes. A trifle creased and discoloured. Inscribed at foot: 'Examined by Thomas Lowley Deputy Clerk of the Pipe 10 July 1811'. An examined copy of a roll of foreign accounts dealing at a largely superficial level with the financing of troops stationed in Gibraltar Ireland North America the West and East Indies and associated plantations. Some specific sums are recorded such as the receipt of £300 18s 2d for the sale by public auction in Quebec of the brig Maria. Charges and receipts amounted to £3377122 0s 11 1/2d and payments and allowances to £1772059 19s 11d which after further allowances was reduced to a debt of £423277 2s 2 3/4d. Perhaps the most interesting inclusion is the list of deputy-paymasters and their stations and the numerous officials and the salaries which they received. The office of Paymaster of the Forces was established in 1661. By the eighteenth century it had become a political prize and potentially one of the most lucrative offices one could obtain during a parliamentary career offering a salary of £4000. At the time this roll was produced the office was jointly held by future Prime Minster William Wyndham Grenville Baron Grenville 1759-1834 and naval officer and politician Constantine John Phipps 1744-1792. .

Akenside, Mark (1721-1770).
THE POEMS OF MARK AKENSIDE. Volume First.
160 p. 16mo. Original full leather binding. With a contemporary (American?) printed label: "WILLIAM NICHOLS Requests any person who may borrow this Book, to return it as soon as possible." With Nichols' manuscript ownership and additional manuscript presentations of Dr. L. Armstrong. Mark Akenside was a famed English poet and physician. His chief literary work was the didactic poem The Pleasures of Imagination (1744). Among his other works are the neoclassical Odes on Various Subjects (1745) and the Epistle to Curio (1744), a vigorous political satire. Akenside's conversion to Tory principles at the accession of George III earned him the appointment of Physician to the Queen. The early ownerships and label are especially interesting.

ANON
Scotch Modesty Displayed, in a Series of Conversations that lately passed between an Englishman and a Scotchman. Addressed to the Worthy Patriots of England.
16mo., First Edition, on laid paper; attractively bound in twentieth century grey boards, paper label lettered and ruled in black on upper board, small marginal chip in D4 (not affecting text), a remarkably bright, fresh, clean copy. Most attractive copy of a none-too-subtle satire on the supposed power of the Scots in the English establishment and society. The barb was evidently a popular one, for it reissued in the same year with a third printing in 1780. Rare.
