John Tallis 7 November 1817 3 June 1876 was an English cartographic publisher. His company John Tallis and Company published views maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846 and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858 selling it for £1370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. Wikipedia The most important project John Tallis undertook was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin 1815-1876 and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes people in their environment and even more so historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities architecture and landscape.

réf. 14009Without place or date but with reference to 'George Salmond Writer Glasgow'. Early nineteenth-century. 2pp. 4to. On leaf untidily torn from an album resulting in a ragged edge with minor loss of text a few parts of words. On aged and chipped paper. The document is headed 'Forgery of the Commercial Bank of Scotlands Guinea Note' and begins: As a few off these Forged Notes have made their appearance in Glasgow e following directions are given to enable the public to distinguish the forged from the genuine Notes.' A detailed description follows with small illustrations given of the shapes of the letter 'B' in forgery and genuine note with other illustrations of a thistle both with and 'without prickles'. The document ends: 'It is requested that if any of these forged Notes are presented the same and those offering them may be detained and proceeded with according to the Law and that notice may be immediately sent to George Salmond Writer Glasgow who will pay the expenses and liberally remunerate those giving any information which may be of Service or may lead to Conviction of offenders.' No other copy traced either on COPAC or WorldCat. The Scottish guinea note was introduced in 1758 and discontinued in 1828. The book 'Rambling Recollections of Old Glasgow' by 'Nestor' contains a reference to 'Mr. George Salmond long Procurator-Fiscal at Glasgow' who 'kept an album or rather nigrum containing a collection of forged notes with notices of the results to the persons implicated in their forgery or issue. There seldom was a Circuit in Glasgow where there were not several men or women sentenced to death for such crimes and several expiated their offences on the scaffold'. Salmond was Procurator-Fiscal by 1826 so this item would appear to date from before then. Without place or date, but with reference to 'George Salmond, Writer, Glasgow'.

Sobre a obra comentou Vitor Manuel Adrião: «Frei Tiago de Boaventura Hepburn de Escócia 1573-1621 Virga Aurea “Vara Dourada”. Apesar das tentativas dos falecidos dr. José Eduardo Pisani Burnay e de André Jean Paraschi chegando a ser meus correspondentes durante largos anos sobretudo o primeiro essa obra nunca foi devidamente publicada e muitíssimo menos dada ao conhecimento geral. Escrita após uma peregrinação de frei Tiago a Santiago de Compostela a obra é consagrada à eterna Virgini Maris e ao secular Papa Paulo V. A Virga Aurea constitui-se de um “Calendário Perpétuo de Magia Natural das coisas secretíssimas” classificando e resumindo a quase totalidade dos conhecimentos esotéricos da Teogonia Cosmogonia Angeologia Astrologia Magia Talismânica Alquimia etc.» José Eduardo Pisani Burnay Lapa Lisboa 1924 - Lisboa 1998 foi uma figura notável na cultura e maçonaria portuguesa do século XX destacando-se como actor colecionador e líder maçónico. Neto de Ramalho Ortigão e de Maria José de Bastos Pisani Burnay. Por influência paterna apaixonou-se pelas antiguidades conseguindo reunir ao longo de toda a vida importantes colecções de Armas Antigas Bengalas Canecas-Figuras e Objectos Maçónicos. Seduzido pelo esoterismo e pelo simbolismo aderiu à Maçonaria tendo sido iniciado no Grande Oriente Lusitano onde foi Venerável da Loja Simpatia e União. André Jean Paraschi 1946-1997 foi um autor e investigador português conhecido pelas obras sobre história e simbologia das ordens militares em específico dos Templários e a Ordem de Cristo em Portugal. Explorou o esoterismo simbologia e espiritualidade com base em fontes históricas e manuscritos antigos. Frei Tiago Boaventura Hepburn de Escócia Hamstoks Escócia 1573 - Veneza Itália 1621 foi um erudito e orientalista escoçês que viajou pela Turquia Pérsia e Síria e no seu regresso à Europa entrou na Ordem dos Frades Menores. Esteve em Avignon e mais tarde em Roma onde foi nomeado pelo Papa Paulo V Bibliotecário dos Manuscritos Orientais do Vaticano. Destacou-se como linguista e estudioso de línguas orientais publicou uma gramática árabe e um dicionário Hebraico-Caldeico evidenciando o seu domínio do hebraico e outras línguas semíticas.
