first issue of 750 copies appearing 15 February 1839. 

ODNB ‘... The Art Journal (the title adopted in 1849) would prove to be 

the pioneer of fine-art journalism in Britain. In a number of ways it 

helped to stabilize the shaky position of the art world in a period when 

old canons and patronage networks were collapsing. Hall worked to 

expose the roaring trade in faked old masters, thus reducing that market 

but also making it more respectable. At the same time he championed the 

cause of modern British artists, both in painting and in sculpture. For 

this he earned the gratitude not only of artists but also of leading critics 

such as Ruskin. He campaigned tirelessly to expand and uplift the 

audience for art by publicizing exhibitions and collections open to the 

public, by publishing a great deal of criticism (much by his assistant 

editor James Dafforne), and eventually by printing in the magazine highquality 

engravings of great works of art (notably, from 1848, the whole 

of the Vernon collection)....’

William Coxe (1747-1828). Archdeacon and historian. His main interest 

was in publishing accounts of his travels and working on the family 

papers of his noble patrons. It was his friend and patron Sir Richard Colt 

Hoare who persuaded him to accompany him on a tour of 

Monmouthshire in the autumn of 1789. Hoare, who made a number of 

drawings, sixty of which subsequently appeared in the above work, 

encouraged him to return to Monmouthshire twice during 1799 to 

interview countless gentry and amplify his notes. The author declared he 

spent five months in the county and travelled some fifteen hundred miles: 

The result of his enquiries ‘An Historical Tour ...’, although disclaiming 

any pretension to being a history of the county, and despite its plodding 

style, is much fuller and more valuable than the accounts of most other 

travellers in Wales during the late eighteenth century. 

D.N.B. '...he devoted himself chiefly to a series of memoirs, which are of 

great value for the history of the eighteenth century...'

inscriptions from funeral monuments, an interest he had exhibited as 

early as the Epigrammes. He claimed to have travelled through most of 

England and parts of Scotland, as well as to Italy, France, and Germany. 

About 1620 he befriended the herald Augustine Vincent, who gave him 

access to the records of the heralds' office and introduced him to Sir 

Robert Cotton and many other antiquaries. 

In 1631 Weever published a portion of his findings in a 900-page folio 

volume [the above]. This contains inscriptions from Canterbury, 

Rochester, London, and Norwich, interlarded with Weever's commentary 

and poetical extracts ranging from the ancients to works of the late

IBOY Community Involvement in Adaptive Research and Wildlife 

Management, [and] Indian Ocean Biodiversity Assessment 2000-2005 

Biodiversity assessment celebrating the centenary of the Percy Sladen 

Trust Expedition to the Indian Ocean “In 1905 and 1908-1909 the Percy 

Sladen Trust Expedition visited the islands of the western Indian Ocean 

to investigate the biological relationships between the islands of the 

Seychelles, Mascarenes and Chagos groups and to locate evidence for 

former land connections between the islands. This expedition still forms 

the basis of our understanding of the region's biogeography with the 

recognition that the granitic Seychelles islands are continental fragments 

of Gondwana, isolated from India and Madagascar 65 million years ago 

whilst the other islands are volcanic in origin. The continental history of 

the granitic islands results in a divers and archaic fauna, with more 

recent immigrant taxa of African, Malagasy or cosmopolitan origin. The 

Mascarenes, Amirantes, Aldabra and Chagos Island groups all support 

immigrant taxa with affinities resulting from the predominant marine 

currents.”

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS DOCUMENTING THE SLAVE 

TRADE and the abolition of the slave trade relating in the main to 

the West Indies, but also including in some detail Mauritius and 

West Africa. A significant number were published before the 

bench mark date of 1836 (when papers were henceforth available 

for public sale) and as a result many papers are especially scarce 

with the majority of them not available for sale anywhere else.] 

1815-97. 

The collection is housed in boxes, they are ex.-library with minor 

markings, approximately 10 are lacking some pages or maps, 

mainly disbound and stitched, some browning, due to the poor 

quality of much of the paper some issues are chipped, any copies 

particularly worn are as noted. £4,000.00 

The Slave Trade Act (citation 47 Geo III Sess. 1 c. 36) was an Act of 

Parliament of the United Kingdom passed on 25 March 1807, with the 

long title "An Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade". The act abolished 

the slave trade in the British Empire, but not slavery itself; slavery on 

English soil was unsupported in English law and that position was 

confirmed in Somersett's Case in 1772, but it remained legal in most of 

the British Empire until the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 which came into 

force the following year. 

Slavery was officially abolished in most of the British Empire on 1 

August 1834. In practical terms, however, only slaves below the age of 

six were freed in the colonies, as all former slaves over the age of six 

were redesignated as "apprentices", which was abolished in two stages; 

the first set of apprenticeships came to an end on 1 August 1838, while 

the final apprenticeships were scheduled to cease on 1 August 1840 

(local peaceful protests ensured they actually ceased in 1838). 

However the Act did not "extend to any of the Territories in the 

Possession of the East India Company, or to the Island of Ceylon, or to 

25 

the Island of Saint Helena." In addition its application to the Colony of 

the Cape of Good Hope (now the Cape Province of the Republic of South 

Africa) was delayed for 4 months and its application to the Colony of 

Mauritius (now the Republic of Mauritius) was delayed for 6 months. 

When the Honourable East India Company came under the control of 

Great Britain slavery in India including Ceylon and St Helena was 

finally abolished, under the provisions of the 1843 India Act. 

Our collection includes papers relating to all aspects of slavery, viz. 

administration, local grievances, captured negroes, import/export and 

sale of slaves, some key papers on the measures adopted for giving effect 

to the Act of Abolition, Slavery under the East India Co., improving slave 

conditions, religious worship, crime and punishment, fugitive slaves, 

captured slaves, liberated Africans, apprentices, slavery abolition 

proceedings, the Abolition Act, vessels engaged in the slave trade, 

ethnicity, and post emancipation, immigration, employment regulation, 

supply of labour, the effect on the Sugar and Coffee trade, labouring 

population, education, moral and religious instruction, etc. 

By no means exhaustive, the collection nonetheless offers contemporary 

insight into a society underpinned by the exploitation of fellow-man.

The Société de Géographie, founded in 1821, is apparently the oldest 

society of its kind in the world. Documenting newly discovered 

geography of the world and monitor the work of travelers and explorers, 

encompassing a variety of topics: history, archeology, ethnography, 

alongside tales of travel and voyages. Various centenarians are 

commemorated as those of large families: Cook, Lapérouse, 

Entrecastraux, Dumont D'Urville, Humboldt, and Christopher Columbus 

and Vasco da Gama. Few studies are actually in Europe, even rarer 

those concerning France. Attention is focused on all continents, 

particularly in Africa where Germans, English and French were 

collaborating on research sources and courses of the Niger, Congo and 

the Nile.

a roundell at each point of the V and a ‘bridge’ with an opposite peak to

‘Writing from Cape Town in February 1900, Kipling observes ‘that the 

Cape Town Clubs are not quite so full of members who personally shot 

Colley at Majuba-and two years ago there were several. In many small 

ways ... it seems as though there is growing, if not toleration, at least a 

certain respect for Englishmen. The contempt, at all events, is less open 

... Dimly and distantly Cape Town realises that that thing called the 

British Government is now in earnest.’’ 

Richards A167. 

‘This essay or open letter, first printed as a signed article in both ‘The 

Times’ of London and ‘The Mail’ of Cape Town (for which both 

newspapers made payment) on 15 March 1900 under the title ‘The 

Exposure of the Cape Population’, inveighs against the supposedly 

friendly or Neutral Boers and their liberal sympathizers as “traitors” to 

the Cape and Orange Free State; the piece was reprinted in New York in 

the supplement to ‘Harper’s Weekly’ for 17 March 1900 ...’

Apparently there were two distinct issues, one with all the plates, and one 

in which several plates were clearly never bound in, as above. 

John Wilkins, Bishop of Chester (1614-72), was a founding member of 

the Royal Society and one of the most influential thinkers of the 

seventeenth century. His masterpiece the above work is a key text in the 

history of language. Ready for publication in 1666 but destroyed by the 

Great fire, the work that was finally published in 1668 is Wilkin’s attempt 

at creating a universal language. Wilkins provides an examination of the 

origins, change, adoption, and diffusion of languages and alphabets as 

well as offering a ‘Universal Philosophy’ classification system. 

Appended to the essay is an alphabetical dictionary which lists English 

words, their symbols in the real character and references to their proper 

place in classification.

The Ministry of Information (MOI), headed by the Minister of 

Information, was a United Kingdom government department created 

briefly at the end of World War I and again during World War II. 

Located in Senate House at the University of London during World War 

II, it was the central government department responsible for publicity 

and propaganda. Headed by Brendan Bracken in July 1941 who 

remained in office until victory was obvious. 

The Ministry was responsible for information policy and the output of 

propaganda material in Allied and neutral countries, with overseas 

publicity organised geographically. American and Empire Divisions 

continued throughout the war, other areas being covered by a succession 

of different divisions. 

For home publicity, the Ministry dealt with the planning of general 

government or interdepartmental information, and provided common 

services for public relations activities of other government departments. 

The MOI was dissolved in March 1946, with its residual functions 

passing to the Central Office of Information (COI), a central 

organisation providing common and specialist information services.

The Annual Register is a chronicle of British and world history published 

annually since 1758. It was founded by Edmund Burke (who was its 

editor for many years) and Robert Dodsley and has had many different 

publishers since. 

An extraordinarily interesting contemporary view of life and times during 

the last two hundred and fifty years. Originally conceived as a 

miscellany, reproducing state papers, reviewing important books, and 

featuring historical sketches, poetry, observations on natural history, and 

other essays, reproduced from books and periodicals. The first volume 

produced at the height of the Seven Years War, and the opening history 

section describes the progress of that conflict from its origins to the end 

of the year 1758. Covering all aspects of the war until 1763, the history 

section evolved to cover the past year’s developments more generally in 

Britain, its colonies and mainland Europe. Of particular interest is the 

1776 issue (printed in 1777) With the first printing in book form of the 

US Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation, also 

containing the charter of the first government of the United States, the 

Articles of Confederation, British Leave Boston, Virginia Governor 

Dunmore frees slaves and much more, (our copy is a third edition 

published 1782). Fully covering the American War of Independence 

giving details of all events leading up to and throughout the conflict. 

From 1789 until the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815 the History was 

primarily devoted to describing the French Revolution and the wars 

arising from it. After 1815 the usual form became a number of chapters 

on Britain, paying particular attention to the proceedings of Parliament, 

followed by chapters covering other countries in turn, no longer limited 

to Europe. The expansion of the History came at the expense of the 

sketches, reviews and other essays so that the nineteenth-century 

publication ceased to have the miscellaneous character of its eighteenthcentury 

forebear, although poems continued to be included until 1862, 

and a small number of official papers and other important texts continue 

to be reproduced to this day. From the 1920s volumes of The Annual 

Register took the essential shape in which they have continued ever 

since, opening with the history of Britain, then a section on foreign 

history covering each country or region in turn. Following these are the 

chronicle of events, brief retrospectives on the year’s cultural and 

economic developments, a short selection of documents, and obituaries of 

eminent persons who died in the year.

The Valor Ecclesiasticus (Latin: "church valuation") a survey of the 

finances of the church in England, Wales and English controlled parts of 

Ireland made in 1535 on the orders of Henry VIII. The Valor gave the 

government for the first time a solid understanding of the scale of the 

wealth of the church as a whole and particularly of the monasteries. 

Figures from the Valor were a vital part of the process of the Dissolution 

of the Lesser Monasteries Act (1536). 

A document of the first importance for historians of the later mediæval 

and Tudor church, the English Reformation, and the Dissolution. It is 

also valuable to economic historians of the period.

Abraham Farley (bap. 1712, d. 1791), exchequer official and antiquary. 

ODNB ‘... Farley had long experience of making official transcripts of

issue of 250 sets with additional material issued by the record 

commissioners in 1811, and a reprinting in 1816–17, which included an 

introduction by Sir Henry Ellis. Scholarly work on Domesday was 

nevertheless greatly facilitated from 1783 onwards, and the exceptional

With the Introduction by Samuel Johnson (1744) in Volume 1. 

William Oldys (1696–1761), herald and antiquary. ODNB ‘ ... Oldys's 

British Librarian had been published by Thomas Osborne, and it was 

Osborne who bought for £13,000 Harley's collection of printed books, 

intending to dispose of them through an elaborate bibliographical 

catalogue to be edited by Samuel Johnson and Oldys. The first two 

volumes of Catalogus Bibliothecae Harleianae appeared on 12 March 

1743, after some six months' work; the third and fourth volumes were 

published on 4 January 1744. The contributions of Johnson and Oldys 

are difficult to distinguish. Meanwhile, Osborne proposed (in terms 

provided by Johnson) a weekly subscription serial known as The 

Harleian Miscellany, which reprinted some of the scarcer tracts from the 

collection and which commenced in March 1744 with Oldys as its 

supervisory editor. It eventually ran to eight volumes (1744–6) ... 

Alongside the Miscellany Oldys edited ‘A Copious and Exact Catalogue 

of Pamphlets in the Harleian Library’, which appeared piecemeal but 

eventually constituted a quarto volume of 168 pages, offering 

bibliographical descriptions of almost 550 items. Like many of Oldys's 

publications, this was valued highly by collectors and scholars, and 

several annotated copies exist.’ Reprinted and included at the end of 

Volume X of the above work.

procedure that the practice became established in Britain long before it 

was accepted abroad. In cases requiring the use of instruments, Denman

Magendie was the founder of the science of toxicology and a pioneer 

experimental physiologist in France and therefore the forerunner of such 

men as Claude Bernard and Louis Pasteur. He was the first to show 

conclusively that section of the anterior sponeal nerve roots affected 

mobility but not sensation, and vice versa as to piosterior roots. This 

same oberservation partially described by Charles Bell, has long been 

known as the ‘fundamental law of Bell and Megandie.’

Roy’s measurements. The barometer pictured in the first plate is ‘Mr

The National Academy of Sciences was founded in Modena in 1782 with 

the name Società Italiana, made up of 40 illustrious scientists from 

various parts of Italy. It was also called Società Italiana delle scienze, 

residente in Modena. Around 1862 it became Società Italiana delle 

scienze fondata da Anton Mario Lorgna. In 1867 it changed its name to 

Società Italiana delle scienze (detta dei XL). The seat transferred from 

Modena to Rome in 1875. In 1950 it became simply Accademia nazionale 

dei XL. And by 1979 it had changed its name to Accademia nazionale 

delle scienze detta dei XL--Scholarly Societies Project.

1887 by the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. It provided a 

routine reporting service for Fellows of the Royal College as well as 

supporting an extensive programme of research. Much of its early work 

was devoted to bacteriology, pharmacology, anatomy, pathology and 

even zoology. In its early years 40,000 reports were issued and 320
