Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Thomas of Elmham (1364-1427 ) was treasurer of St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury, when he compiled this work, which he called the Speculum Augustinianum, around 1414. He planned to give a complete history of the Abbey, and the chronological table cove…rs the period from 597 to 1414, but the main text ends in 806, with a collection of documentary sources from the period 1066 to 1191 appended. His failure to complete the work was probably due to his appointment as Prior of the Cluniac House at Lenton in Nottinghamshire. Elmham made great use of documentary sources in the Abbey's famous library, reproducing and editing original charters, as well as using the work of earlier historians of the House, though, unfortunately, many of the sources he uses were forgeries or corrupt transcripts, produced to support the Abbey's claims to royal and ecclesiastical privileges. This edition by Charles Hardwick was published in 1858.

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Near Fine. TURTLE DOVE. HARDWICK. 1829. ----TILE: Spotted-Necked Turtle. Col Turtur. Lin. Var. Lower left: Mus. Genl. Hardwick. Bottom: London. Published by Whittaker & Co. Ave Maria Lane. Oct. 1829. ----DESCRIPTION: The spotted-necked turtle dove, has a reddish rose breast, is brown on the back, the larger…feathers of the upper parts being slightly edged with lighter brown, giving a mottled appearance at close range, but the distinguishing feature is a patch of black and white checker board on each side of the neck. Beginning with only two or three dots on each side in the first winter, it develops until the two patches meet, creating a broad collar one or two inches in width. ----HARDWICK: Major General Thomas Hardwick (1755 1835), FRS, also Hardwicke in some literature, was a naturalist, collecting especially in India, the Indian Ocean and Africa. He donated his collections to the British Museum. The fact that his work was featured in an 1830 book by John Edward Gray, The Illustrations of Indian Zoology, chiefly selected from the collection of General Hardwicke, attests to the level of Hardwick's interest in zoology. ----CONDITION: Near fine. ----Z7P09.

Published by Whittaker & Co. Ave Maria Lane. Oct. 1829. 8 ¾"h x 5 ¼'w (to plate marks) on 9 ¼" h x 5 ½"w sheet. ----DESCRIPTION: The belly of the male… is brown, as if scorched. Pterocles Exustus is now commonly called the "Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse" which is found in sparse, bushy, arid land in central and northern Africa, and southern Asia. Although they live in hot, arid climates, they are highly reliant on water. Their diets consist mainly of seeds, grasses and herbs. They have small, pigeon-like heads and necks, but sturdy compact bodies. Legs are feathered down to the toes. Sandgrouse have long pointed wings and sometimes tails and a fast direct flight. Flocks fly to watering holes at dawn and dusk. ----HARDWICK: Major-General Thomas Hardwicke (17561835) was an English soldier and naturalist who was in India from 1777 to 1823. He collected numerous specimens of natural history and had them painted by Indian artists. From these paintings many new species were described. Several of these species are named after him. On returning to England he collaborated with the zoologist John Edward Gray to publish The Illustrations of Indian Zoology, chiefly selected from the collection of General Hardwicke, (18301835). He donated his collections to the British Museum. The fact that his work was featured in the 1830 book by Gray, attests to the level of Hardwick's interest in zoology. ----CONDITION: Near fine. ----Z7P11.

In den Warenkorb3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with traces of paper from mount adhering to blank reverse of second leaf. Folded twice. From the Cullum papers, Simpson being a neighbour of the family. Having 'just come in from a longish walk', he is sorry to have missed Lady Cullum. He wishes he 'knew which of the two ways… you name would be most agreeable to you, for us to dine with you; but since you kindly leave it to me, I say Friday, on which Evening we will have the pleasure of being at Hardwick at 7 o'Clock.' He reports that the 'two Miss Lockharts' are 'quite taken' with her, and 'loud in their praises of Lady Cullum'. He gives the names of the party he has 'made up' for the following Thursday: 'Herveys 3, Wynches 2, Col. Wollaston, and Mr. Barton - You and Miss Bird and ourselves make up the twelve.' He is 'not afraid of a Fox, well fed on good poultry, worrying Dot!' He does not think Dot can catch the fox, 'so believe he and Pater may try their best in great safety'. He ends with the remembrances of his two daughters to Lady Cullum and Miss Bird.

In den WarenkorbSee Donaldson's entry in the Oxford DNB, which states that he was 'greatly beloved by his friends, who included N. C. Thirlwall and W. H. Thompson. The diarist Henry Crabb Robinson spoke enthusiastically of the charm of his conversation.' 3pp, 16mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor traces of mount adhering t…o blank reverse of second leaf. No salutation or valediction, and the recipient is not named, but the item derives from the papers of Sir Thomas Gery Cullum and his wife Lady Anne Cullum, of Hardwick House. Donaldson was headmaster at nearby King Edward's School, Bury St Edmunds, between 1841 and 1855. (The ODNB states that he was 'active in the cultural life of Bury St Edmunds, where he greatly improved the Athenaeum'.) The document simply begins: 'That Hercules was the husband & not the purchased slave of Omphale appears from the following reasons.' Four numbered 'reasons' follow, covering twenty-four lines. The last reads: '(4) The spirit of the fable or allegory presumes that Hercules was the husand of Omphale i.e. that Strength allied itself to Beauty, & yielded to the gentle influence of the fair sex: this is the view taken by Propertius, II, 9 (11), 17.' At the end he signs: 'J. W. Donaldson | 2 April 1844.'.

In den WarenkorbSee Mitford's entry in the Oxford DNB. At the time of writing he had been retired for five years from the editorship of the Gentleman's Magazine, a post he had held for seventeen years. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor traces of mount adhering to the blank reverse of the second leaf. Folded twice.… Forty-four lines in a close hand. The recipient is not named, but the letter comes from the papers of the Cullum Baronets of Hardwick House, and concerns an obituary of the eighth baronet, Sir Thomas Gery Cullum, which Mitford is helping a member of the family prepare for publication in the Gentleman's Magazine. Mitford begins the letter: 'My dear Sir | I have just sent to the Post, with a few alterations, (verbal ones) the contents of the letter you favored me with this Morning; and hope it will be in time, to be inserted with its Corrections in the Magazine this Month'. He explains why, given the importance of the changes, he has 'asked Mr Nichols [i.e. John Bowyer Nichols (1779-1863), printer and proprietor of the magazine] to delay the insertion till the March number'. He gives a hint of how the Gentleman's Magazine, consisting of 'a good variety of Articles', is conducted, before continuing: 'I very much lament that I had not the pleasure of a more intimate acquaintance with Sir Th. Cullum to whom I have of late been obliged, by many kind Civilities in return for favors I had asked in relation to a branch of [?], which as you observed he lov'd & patronized.' He continues with reference to the baronets 'love of gardening & planting', in which Mitford 'fully participated' . He describes a rare plant seen on a visit to Hardwick, at which he went over 'his Plantations with him & umder his guidance', before referring to the last letter he received from him, 'of which the ink was scarcely dry' when he died. He concludes with his 'best Compliments & respects to Lady Cullum'.

In den WarenkorbAccording to his entry in the Oxford DNB, 'In 1844 Lover abandoned miniature painting as a result of failing eyesight but continued to paint and exhibit landscapes. He invented a new form of entertainment which he called Irish Evenings, a monologue of songs, recitations, and stories, all of his own composition. These he performe…d at the Princess's Concert Rooms, London.' Between 1846 and 1848 he toured North America with great success. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor traces of mount adhering to blank reverse of second leaf. Folded twice. The letter begins: 'Mr. Lover, with much respect and sincere thanks to Sir Thomas & Lady Cullum for the honor they so kindly propose to him, regrets that the shortness of his stay and urgency of his occupation interfere to prevent his enjoying the pleasure which the acceptance of Sir Thomas and Lady Cullum's invitation would cause him.' He explains that he has sung 'at Hanover Square Rooms on Monday at Cambridge last night and, after travelling to-day and his exertion of this evening, with an early entertaintment [sic] tomorrow, before him an immediate retirement to rest after this evenings exertion is indispensible'. Consequently he must 'content himself with the Hotel of Bury instead of enjoying the honor of the hospitality of Hardwicke [sic]'. He hopes that 'Sir Thomas will assure Mr. [Petre?] how sensible Mr Lover is of the honor of his invitation, but as Mr. Lover, is obliged on his days of public engagement to dine very early, and very sparingly, he cannot have the pleasure of being made Mr. [Petre's?] guest'.

She continues with news of Miss Fowler (visiting 'her Brother & Sister near Melksham in Wiltshire') and of 'Lady Buxton' (who 'does not continue quite so sound as we cd. have wished'), whose own 'Italian sojourn' gives 'pleasure to all the party'. With regard to the Cullums' own trip, she repeats her thanks for 'giving us so entertaining a history - & very glad shd. I be to hear the completion at N Repps Cottage'. She wonders if they ever 'come near this corner of the world', and thanks them for their 'truly kind wish to see me one day at Hardwick [.] The return to our dear Home was a [giant?] trial to me, & I know [sic] see by experience that real happiness once [reached?], is not to be [?] on earth'. She commends them for having taken 'a rest at Kissingen before entering on the great fatigues of home life', and thanks them for news of her 'old friend Francois', before concluding.

Sir Thomas Gery Cullum (1777-1855), 8th Baronet, of Hardwick House, Bury St Edmunds, who i…s referred to as 'botanist and antiquary' in his eponymous father's entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 4to.

Addressed at foot of first page to 'Lady Cullum, à son Château de Bury St Edmond, (Angleterre)'. He begins with the salutation 'Milady', and says that he has heard, through 'M. le Conseiller Dutrône, les soins que vous donnez à l'amélioration des Races Bovines désarmées'. He congratulates her for this, before proceeding to expound at some length his position that the 'uvre' of dehorning is 'non seulement agricole, mais humanitaire, - je dirai même chrétienne, puisque les vache désarmées sont moins dangereuses que les autres, pour notre prochain'. What she has already done towards in regard to this matter is but a 'gage de ce que vous ferez à l'avenir. - C'est donc avec un double bonheur que je vous adresse, Milady, comme signe de ralliement entre les amis cosmopolites de cette réforme, un modeste specimen des Médailles d'or fondées (l'un, en Angleterre, au Concours International d'Agriculture de Chelsmford, [sic] l'autre, en Allemagne, au Congrès International de Bienfaisance de Francfort S mein)'.

Begins: 'Feeling all the kindness of most friendly invitation so sensibly as I do, it gives me the greater regret to be compelled to forgo the pleasure you offer me, of joining my fr…iends Mr. & Miss Mackinnon in your charming home on the 8th of Octr. I have been tempted to linger on, in this delightful and hospitable land from day to day and week after week till the very day you have named is, by some strange fatality, that appointed for my imbarkation at Ardrossan with my young friend Lady Augusta Bruce, [(1822-1876), daughter of the Earl of Elgin, later Lady Augusta Elizabeth Frederica Stanley] the sister of Lady Matilda Maxwell, with whom I am at present staying.' She reports that she is going to spend a few days with her sister Mrs Gwillym at Ulverstone, and then I proceed home as quickly as I can via Lincolnshire and Norfolk, to my own home, where I shall have to write at the rate of ten hours a day to make up for all the time I have spent, in endeavouring to gather more information illustrative of the personal history of the Queen of James 2nd Mary D Esté. | The vol in which she makes her appearance must be out early in the new year. This ties me imperatively to time, and compels me to do violence to my own inclinations, when I give up, or rather, I hope I may be permitted to say postpone a visit to Hardwicke Hall in consequence'. She ends with compliments to Sir Thomas Cullum, and 'hoping one day to renew and improve our acquaintance so agreeably commenced'.

Lady Clarke's… own husband had died a year and a half before, on 26 January 1855. 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor traces of mount on reverse of second leaf. Folded once. The letter begins: 'My dear Lady Cullum | In the course of thte Correspondence which has been entailed upon me by the late event no part has gratified me more than your honest and feeling letter, for which and for the tender of your hospitality I thank you heartily'. He explains that the 'long illness of my Dear Wife has kept me out of Society during the last three years and neither my daughter nor myself have quitted our charge'. He is happy that there was 'no suffering in the Case of our lost one: she sunk from exhaustion without the evidence of any disease'. After 'every thing at Brighton had been concluded', Clarke and his daughter Elizabeth stayed for a few days with his son at Hanwell. He is writing from 'the house of my Son in law, Rev Walter Patridge, he having lost his wife (my daughter) some years since'. He hopes to 'spend half a day with Mother' on his journey back to Brighton. He wishes he could 'pass a quiet day or two with yourself at Hardwick! but it is impossible you would I know, be as kind to me as you were to poor Westrop.' He ends with the news that he has 'let Wigginton Lodge', and that he intends Brighton to be 'my living and my resting place'.

In den WarenkorbScudamore's entry in the Oxford DNB does not refer to the financial difficulties which he describes in this interesting letter, surprising in the light of his royal patronage and success as an author. 3pp, 4to. Bifolium, addressed on reverse of second leaf, with postmark and seal in black wax, to 'The | Revd. Sir Thomas Cullum |… Bart | Hardwick House | Bury St Edmunds'. Forwarded, in another hand, to 'Sir T G C | No 3 | Porto del Popolo | Rome'. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor trace of mount adhering. Folded four times. Scudamore begins, somewhat portentously: 'My dear Sir Thomas, | I am too well aware of the disadvantageous circumstances under which I take up my pen to address you; and, equally as on the last occasion, must throw myself on your indulgence & kind friendship.' He explains his financial situation: 'This year has severely disappointed me as to the amount of my income from professional practice and I have no other. - I am making a new effort to present myself favorably to the public, in publishing a 2d ed of my book on the treatment of consumption by inhalation in wch I have I have [sic] obtain'd a far greater degree of success than I could ever have expected. I have dedicated the work by permission to the King.' He will be happy to send Cullum a copy of the book, which he not only flatters himself will 'be further useful to this sad class of invalids', but also hopes will be 'the means of increasing my own prosperity'. He 'gain'd very sufficient credit as an Author & Physn.' by his 'work on Gout &c but in no measure the lucrative benefits to which, from its success, I was entitled.' He complains that 'persons, professional and non-professional', have admitted his 'principles & practice without reference to me; or that being as it were called a Gout-Doctor, without having the practice in proportion, has often been injurious to me.' In consequence, despite good health, he leads 'a life of exceeding anxiety': 'my courage is not destroyed and I hope earnestly for better things.' Having done with 'these preliminary observations', he takes 'the liberty of soliciting that you will have the kindness to allow the liquidation of my debt by instalments of 25£'. The circumstances are 'sufficiently humiliating' to Scudamore's 'pride & feelings to make this request', but 'necessity, not choice, forces me to the appeal'. He ends in the hope that Lady Cullum enjoys good health.

In den WarenkorbFour items, all in good condition, lightly aged, the three letters with stubs and labels used in mounting in an album. In addition to the pleasant picture they paint of the court gathered around the blind king in the last year of his kingdom's existence (with an interesting reference to the new palace he had built his wife at Ma…rienburg), the three letters indicate a surprisingly cordial state in nineteenth-century Anglo-German relations. The recipient was Lady Ann Cullum (1807-1875), widow of Sir Thomas Gery Cullum (1777-1855) of Hardwick House, and the correspondence indicates that in her youth Lady Cullum, as 'Miss Loyd', had taken dancing letters with George when he was a young prince in London. ONE: Letter, from George V to Lady Cullum, in a secretarial hand, with the untidy signature of the blind king, and a postscript in a second secretarial hand. 28 November [1865]; Herrenhausen. 7pp, 12mo. On two bifoliums. Signed 'Georg R'. A warm and good-natured letter, giving no indication of the political trouble that would follow within months, with the Austro-Prussian War seeing the annexation of Hanover by Prussia and the unification of Germany. Addressed to 'My dear Lady Cullum'. He thanks her for her letter of 18 November, delivered to him by Count Linsingen. 'I indeed cannot sufficiently assure you how gratified I am to hear from you again & to learn from yourself that you, thank God, can look back with gratitude & happiness to your past life.' He fully understands 'how severe the loss of Sir Thomas must have been to you, & how you only can find consolation in the zealous & conscientious fulfilment of the duties devolved upon you since he was called to a better home.' The recollection of the 'happy days' the Cullums passed with him at Kew 'will ever remain dear' to him: 'I remember every minute detail with the greatest accuracy & delight.' He reports the visit to Hanover of their 'old acquaintance of those times' Colonel Mc.Donnell, who informed him that 'on his return from Marechal Mc.Donnell's funeral at Paris some years before, he had the pleasure of meeting you on the steamer crossing the channel.' Not having heard news of them he was delighted by this news, and also 'on being informed by Count Linsingen that he had had the pleasure of meeting you on his visit to England last year, on which occasion you had spoken of me with so kind & warm interest, which I am glad to find you extend to my angelic Queen & my dear children.' He is grateful to God 'for the great blessing He has bestowed upon me in my domestic happiness added to so many other mercies'. He reports that the 'dear Prince Royal attained his 20th. year on the 21st. of September last & has been doing duty with his regiment upwards of 6 weeks.' He gives news of his daughters the Princesses Frederike and Mary. Should they visit the continent, he invites them to 'come to Hanover', where he would be 'too happy to welcome you at my Court & present you to the Queen & my children'. In the meantime he is sending 'five photographs, so that we may not be quite strange to you when you see us in person'. He ends by expressing pleasure that 'our old friend Sir Charles Wyke has yesterday been named minister at Hanover': 'there never could be a better diplomatic agent between two cousins and two courts & countries so closely connected'. The seven-line postscript concerns the photographs he is sending. TWO and THREE: Two Autograph Letters Signed to Lady Cullum from Carl Baron von Linsingen (1822-1872), both signed 'Ad[itor]s. Count Linsingen'. Both 4pp, 8vo. Bifoliums. TWO: 12 November 1865; Hanover. He is writing 'at the express desire of His Majesty the King', and informs her that for the previous four months 'the royal family have been chiefly residing at a new Palace the King has lately erected for Her Majesty the Queen about 40 english miles distant from Hanover, and intended to become the future dowager residence of the Queen. It is called the "Marienburg" and is a very f.
