Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lupins have until recently remained wild or semi-domesticated species of minor interest to agriculture, although their value as a rotation crop was noted 2,000 years ago. However, with the advent of the science of genetics in the early twentieth century, full domestication of Lupinus species for use as crops was begun, by the combination of favourable genes such as those for low alkaloid content, non-shattering pods and soft seeds. As a result several lupin species have become an important part of temperate farming systems as a high protein crop for both animal and human consumption. This book gives an authoritative account of the history, distribution and taxonomy of Lupinus species and the current knowledge of all aspects of their agronomy and impact on agriculture, including breeding, genetics and biotechnology, nutrition, nitrogen fixation, transport physiology, toxins, stress responses, pests and diseases, agronomy and farming systems, composition and food uses, economic value and trade. Contributions are made by researchers in Australia and Europe who have had key roles in lupin research. The book is essential reading for botanists, agronomists, plant breeders and geneticists involved with lupins and other grain legumes or with an interest in crop domestication and evolution. It also provides important information for lecturers and students of agriculture and for professionals in the livestock and food industries.…

According to the diarist Sir Edward Walter Hamilton, the second reading of the Divorced Wife's Sister Bill caused 'great excitement'. Due to clerical opposition, the Bill did not reach the statute book until 1907, and even then in a limited form. These seven items provide an interesting glimpse into the inner workings of the Victorian legislative process. All are clear and complete, and docketed by Dalhousie in red. All in fair condition, with various degrees of aging. Letter One: Sir Thomas Henry Farrer ('S Th Farrer'); 16 July 1885; 27 Bryanston Square, on letterhead of the Athenaeum Club, Pall Mall. 12mo, 3 pp. He is enclosing a copy (not present) of a letter which he sent 'to the Spectator last year on the subject of the Deceased Wifes sister Bill. - It may possibly be of some use to you, as it is a real case - my own. | I have always felt strongly against our present law, as a gross piece of clerical tyranny: - But I feel even yet more strongly against the hypocrisy which, afraid of resting the case on its real ground of ecclesiastical authority, tries to support it by social arguments which are if possible more revolting than they are false.' While he could not put his name to 'such a letter', 'the actual experience of one who has known what a sister in law may be - is perhaps of some value'. Letter Two: Francis Needham, 3rd Earl of Kilmorey ('Kilmorey'); 16 May 1885; on letterhead of Glenmore House, Rosstrevor, County Down, Ireland. They are not 'coming up to town this season', so wish to be paired in favour of the bill. 'Kind regards from self & wife to you & Lady Dalhousie & the twins!' Letter Three: Arthur Kinnaird, 10th Lord Kinnaird ('Kinnaird'); 8 June 1885; on letterhead of 1 Pall Mall East, London, S.W. 12mo, 2 pp. He has been 'very unwell lately', and his doctor has 'forbidden my doing more than is absolutely necessary - I therefore thought I ought to obey him & stay away'. Letter Four: George Hay, 12th Earl of Kinnoull ('Kinnoull'); 27 May 1885; on letterhead of Dupplin Castle, Perth. 12mo, 2 pp. He is 'anxious to support the second reading of the bill', but as he does not 'expect to be in London at that time' he asks for a pair. Letter Five: Douglas Graham, 5th Duke of Montrose ('Montrose'); 28 May 1885; on letterhead of Buchanan Castle, Glasgow. He cannot be in his place, and asks for a pair. 12mo, 2 pp. Letter Six: George Byng, 3rd Earl of Strafford ('Strafford'); 14 May 1885; on letterhead of Wrotham Park, Barnet Herts. 16mo, 3 pp. His 'zeal for the success of your motion is unabated', but he 'cannot entertain the most remote hope of being able to record my vote [.] The discredited alternative of a Pair is my only chance of serving the cause, & perhaps, in the interval before the 2nd Reading, you may in your energetic arrangements hear of some (I hope, more convalescent) opponent with whom I might be linked.' He is sure 'Enfield' would 'assist in the search'. Letter Seven: Edward Montagu-Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Wharncliffe ('Wharncliffe'); 16 May 1885; British Embassy, Vienna. 12mo, 2 pp. There is 'no chance' of his being present. 'We remain here for another ten days, and then have to go down to Yorkshire'.…

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. 4pp, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with negligible remains of windowpane mount adhering at edges of reverse of second leaf. Folded for postage. The item - an immediate artifact with the feel of history in the making - is unsigned and headed 'Confidential'. It is from a collection of papers including a light-hearted poem by Granville addressed to Delane, who is clearly also the recipient of the present item, which contains information that Granville is 'leaking' for publication in 'The Times', as the letter's conclusion makes clear: 'I send you the details of what I know for your guidance as to the general result. Please dont show up the details themselves.' The subject of the letter is casus belli of the Franco-Prussian War: the failure of France and Prussia to agree on a treaty regarding the candidature of Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen for the throne of Spain. (See Granville's speech in the House of Lords, 26 July 1870.) He begins by stating that his news of the previous night 'was confirmed by Lyons dispatch & private letter recd. this morning [Lord Lyons (1817-1887) was the British Ambassador to France] - He thought he had made a slight impression on Grammont [the French Foreign Minister the Duc de Grammont (1819-1880)] after a long conversation yesterday afternoon. Was not without hope, but it looked black.' Granville 'telegraphed in the night, a message of remonstrance which Lyons was to give this morning before the Commons. Lyons could not manage it, but wrote a letter which went into the Council while sitting.' Granville has 'heard nothing from him today, excepting the account of what had passed in the Chamber. The minutes announcing the withdrawal of the canditature, the satisfaction with Spain, and a continuance of Negotiation with Prussia, the result of which would not be communicated till Friday.' Regarding Count Samuel Welles de Lavalette (1834-1892), American-born French Deputy, he writes: 'Lavalette to whom they communicate but little; recd a despatch this morning, announcing satisfaction with the form in which the withdrawal had been made[.] He gathered from it that the minutes were in great embarrassment, and much afraid of the popular feeling. / At 8 o clock P. M. he had recd. nothing but the telegram from Lyons which I sent him'. The comment preceding the conclusion given at the start of this entry reads: 'At Holland House, and at a dinner at Malmesbury, my wife tells me everybody said it was all settled.'.…
