This an original letter refering to a purchase of 'Lady Day' which I think is the name of the property, Dated 18th October 1848. Extract:- .......... " Mrs Snowdon had due notice (served on 28 Sept 1847) to quit on 25 march, or at the end of her current year, all the lands she held of the trustees.  It is quite clear she has overheld and I should recommend the purchasers to proceed for damages in the county court. Written on 3 sides of folded paper, an interesting document. In good condition,

Snowdon

Unusual Group of 3 Antique Legal documents relating to property in ‘Claxton otherwise Little Claxton’ in North Yorkshire. One of the owners of the property appears to have been resident on the Island of Madeira at the time of a transfer of ownership of the property. The documents here appear to relate to the appointment of Special Commissioners in Madeira who could confirm that the owner understood the implications of the Sale etc. One of the documents bears the signature of a Knight and Justice of the Court of Westminster.

 

Document 1)

 

Deed of Appointment at the Court of Common Pleas, of EDMUND ELLICOTT (Merchant) and WILLIAM HINTON both of the Island of Madeira as SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS. This Document is signed by SIR RICHARD BUDDEN CRUNDEN (Knight) one of the Justices at the Court. This is a Waxed Deed dated 14th January 1856 and bears an Enrolment Stamping and relates to the taking of an acknowledgement by MARY ANN LUND, the wife of DR GEORGE LUND (Doctor of Medicine) owners of the property in Yorkshire, although both were resident on the Island of Madeira at the time.

 

Document 2)

 

Sworn affidavit by EDMUND ELLICOTT witnessed by GEO. STODDAY (Her Majestys Consul for Madeira) dated ‘Funchal’ 24th January 1856 certifies that MARY LUND was of full age and competent understanding etc. Document bears the British Consulate Madeira Stamping.

 

Document 3)

 

‘Commissioners Certificate’ and acknowledgement signed by EDMUND ELLICOTT and WILLIAM HINTON relating to an Indenture made between JOHN SINGLETON and JAMES RICHARD SINGLETON, BARNARD JAMES BOULTON. GEORGE LUND , MARY LUND, HENRY GARBURGH GOLD AND ELEANOR GOLD, JANE PHIPPS AND WILLIAM AND GEORGE GOTHORPE (relating to property in Claxton in Yorkshire) dated 24th January 1856.

 

Note – William Gothorpe appears to have owned property in Earswick Yorkshire and lived at 19 Monkgate. York. These are an unusual group of documents, may appeal to those with a local history interest in Yorkshire or the Island of Madeira. These documents date to a period towards the end of the Crimean War. Some research may explain why Dr & Mrs Lund were in Madeira. It is interesting to note that the ‘post’ from Westminster to Funchal took less than 10 days. Documents are in good condition

Printed and published by The London Printing and Publishing Company Limited, London and New York.  Contains Old Testament (1144 pages), New Testament (460 pages) and Apocrypha (168 pages).  With many additional notes, including two central columns of cross-references plus detailed commentary etc.  Fronticepiece engraving of Rev Matthew Henry, the famous Biblical commentator. Black leather boards with gilt titles and raised bands on spine.  Blind-tooled decoration.  Rubbing and markings to boards, especially extremeties.  Previous owners' details on endpapers and inside page, also booksellers stamp.  A few pages have small tears, marks etc, one tape repair.  One page loose.

Internally some light foxing, but pages generally clean and tight.  A number of the engravings show signs of staining at the page edges which does not affect the main part of the engraving (nor the printed pages!)  Family history pages include details of the Pledger family from early 1800's, please later details of Grice family from early 1900's.

Victorian Illustrated Welsh Thomas Jones Family Bible This is a wonderfully illustrated and substantial leather bound Welsh Bible, with gilt edged pages, with entries from the Thomas and Jones families, dating circa 1850-1900. In 1539 Henry VII permitted the publication of the bible in English. In 1546 the first book in the Welsh language was published. This beautiful version is leather bound and has a rich brown colour with a beautiful dark mottled effect.

 

The cover has a fabulous impressed gilt design with foliate and floral fans and scrolls, with geometric borders and scrolling vine tendrils and stylised leaves. To the centre, around the title is a gold impressed starburst or sunburst, surrounded by almost celtic knot designs, overlaid with ribbon banners containing the words, reading from top to bottom, "Efengyl" (Gospel in Welsh), "Gogoniant", "Y", "Bendigedig" (Blessed) "Dduw". Beneath this, hidden within the celtic knot design is "ITIM.I.II". This is an impressive bible with approximately 1185 pages, containing many illustrations and colour plates and written completely in the Welsh language. The first etching on the leading pages is entitled "CHRIST IN GLORY", featuring Jesus, seated with his robes on, his arms apart with his palms facing outwards. The etching is by Hoopmann. The printed title page is illuminated in vibrant reds, blues and golds, and features a praying angel in a rose window, above trefoil arches and columns, and reads, "Y BIBL - Cyssegr-Lan, gyda nodiadau esponiadol, gan y Parch. Peter Williams a'r Parch. Matthew Henry".

 

Peter Williams and Matthew Henry have both written introductory chapters, which appear at the beginning of the book. The bible features chapters from both the New and the Old Testament, starting with Genesis through to the Apostles and Judas and John. The book was published by Grange Publishing Works in Edinburgh, by Thomas C. Jack. There are some fabulous colourful etchings and educational pictures. One of these lithographs, by McFarlane & Erskine Lithographers, Edinburgh, shows the Bible Natural History and features beautifully coloured etchings of a lion, elephant, fox, mole, sheep, wolf, ox, ass and whale - animals that have appeared in the bible, and some of which people in the past were unfamiliar with and only heard about through tales and books.

 

Another plate shows crocodiles, ostriches and locusts. One etching, "Isaiah the Prophet", has been adapted from a painting by Michaelangelo Buonarotti. To the centre of the bible is a section with handwritten entries in ink, with marriages, births and deaths. The main family appears to be a Mr Thomas Jones who was born in 1866. Mr Jones married Angharad Ann Jones, who was born in 1869. They had children called David and Sarah Jones. The earliest date entered in calligraphy in ink is 1866, which is the year of birth of Thomas Jones, so we can say that the bible dates some time after this. Thomas Jones died in 1920. The latest date entry that is written is 1934. This really is very interesting and would be of special interest to someone maybe tracing back their family tree and others interested in genealogy and family history.

 

The plates are protected by thin tissue paper pages. The pages have slightly yellowed with age, adding character and authenticity to the book. The book is missing the leather cover to the spine and the front cover has become detached along with a couple of the leading pages. Aside from this, the pages are in very good condition and the plates retain their vivid colour and detail. The width of this impressive book is approximately 10inches (25.5cm), the length of the book is 13.25inches (33.5cm) and is just over 3inches (7.8cm) thick.

The New and Grand Imperial Family Bible: containing the Sacred Text of the Old and New Testament, with the Apocrypha at large, illustrated with notes and annotations historical, chronological, geographical and explanatory; forming a complete and full exposition and commentary on the Holy Scriptures. Wherein the difficult passages are explained, mistranslations corrected, and the seeming contradictions reconciled, by the Rev Henry Moore, DD. This delightful old Bible is in quite worn condition, with a number of faults, but it is still a charming old book. The cover boards are loose, the boards are worn and marked and the backstrip is attached to only one board and not the rest of the book; the first few and final few pages are largely creased, torn, stained and in weak condition; many of the other pages have some foxing, creases, stains and other marks. The front endpapers have the details of various births and deaths written in ink, from 1817 to 1860. Published by A Whellier of Paternoster Row and G Brimmer of Fleet Street, it is otherwise undated. From the image I have transcribed: ' 1817 Jany. 8th Mary Elizebth (sic) Nicholas Born.

1824 onwards. This is a stunning example of an early scrapbook/keepsake album. It contains some of the finest pencil sketches I have ever come across. I believe that the album belonged to members of the same family and was passed down from one to another.It appears to have firstly belonged to a JANET RIDPATH, then passed to a WILLIAM ALEXANDER RIDPATH and then finally passed to an ALICE MARGARET RIDPATH. It is full of a variety of different pieces such as ,excellent pencil drawings,ink and watercolour sketches,poetry, and well written entries.Many are signed and dated. Throughout the album there seems to be a connection with mariners,ships and also Edinburgh. Below are just a few examples from this exceptional album.

A.L.s. from Carrington, 2pp., sm. 4to, St. James Place, 12th May 1797, “I am sorry to find our present manager on the Jamaican estate is following the steps of his predecessors, but I can by no means consent to the old remedy of appointing another being adopted, because we have hitherto invariably found that the only difference between the two has been that the old one having made his fortune is less rapacious than the new one who has his fortune to make. Besides I must remark that (excepting Mr Winter…) every other manager… have been all of Mr Paynes nomination & that under the administration of those gentlemen instead of remittances from our estates we have been brought in debtors near £20000.”

a rare item in excellent condition showing no damage what so ever It just shows slight soiling this is only mentioned for accuracy Hand written on heavy parchment and is very legible  I have had trouble deciphering it in its entirety due to the copperplate writing of the time As far as I can make out it concerns a court case presided over by John Jeffrey’s 1st Marques Of Camden infamously known for his poor handling of the Irish rebellion It concerns a certain Adam Jacob “schoolmaster” who had agreed to purchase a property in 1817 from a George Fullagar and Francis Reed It then seems that George Fullagar passed away leaving Francis Reed his rightful heir who refused to sell to Adam Jacob Adam Jacob then attempted to sell the property called Stowhall?? To a Richard Jones for the sum of £285 In conclusion it seems that the court/ John Jeffery’s decided that the sum of £285 be paid to Adam Jacobs from Richard Jones leaving Francis Reed with a small fine from the court of ten shilling I have tried to the best of my ability to decipher and understand the whole of the parchment But due to the copperplate writing and words used there may be room for error Also included are three Blue seals showing possible coat of arms and the sum of £1 impressed on each of the seals On the reverse of the parchment opposite the seals it shows paper labels for George 1st The parchment measures 41cm wide by 61cm high

This stampless, folded letter is from a gentleman by the name of Sidney J Murkland, who lived at Ebenezer Chapel, West Coast, Demerara. It is a letter to Thomas Wilson Esq. Treasurer of the London Missionary Society, it is acknowledging the receipt for the sum of £200. The receipt being the amount of his salary for the year ending 7th June 1837. It is addressed to Thomas Wilson Esq, Mission House, Bloomfield St, London. Having done a bit of research I have discovered that Sidney Murkland was involved with the teaching of apprenticed labourers. He taught reading and writing for 4 1/2d a week (i.e. "a bit") some came four miles. He was later ordained. The letter is watermarked ‘RUSE & TURNERS 1835’ and has some soiling. It comes mounted on a display board, which says: Type S.2 in black. Know period of use 1824-1847. Frame 50mm x 16mm. This letter was written in Demerara. British Guiana on May 9th 1837. It was landed at Kingsbridge and arrived at London on June 26th 1837. Charges - 1/7 paid - 6d Captains gratuity, and 11d for the 208 miles Kingsbridge – London.

Here we have four documents/ deeds, there are two from 1794, one involves a lease for a year, with the name as far as I can tell being a Sir Robert S. Cotton Bart. The lease for a year is on thick paper, with a funny feel to it, It could be vellum or parchment but I am cannot be sure, however its very special paper if not. It has two red wax seals on the bottom of the page.

 

The Second Document from 1794 is again regarding a lease, it is not on the same quality paper, its on thinner paper, yet it has two seals as before, It does not have 'draft' written on it I just think they used different stationary. Again this document involves Sir Robert S. Cotton Bart. Both documents are in good condition for their age, they have been folded not rolled.

 

The third document involves Mr William David, and Mr John Coleman and is a Mortgage, and is dated 1842. It has a small tear on the page, apart from this the document is in good condition. It again has two wax seals on the bottom of the page.

 

The Forth Document again involves John Coleman and is an ‘Assignment of messages‘. Both of these documents are again on the high quality paper, which I feel could be Vellum or parchment . Again these documents have been folded not rolled.

Brown's self-interpreting Family Bible: (Family named BONE) once owned this bible. Large old family bible (not sure when it was published) has very clear and bright illustrations in good condition for its age spine is not broken, no torn pages, cover has wear (see pics) cover is dark brown with gold gilding. The inside has some writing on the family register page a family named BONE. (Harrogate area?)

 

Looking at the insertions Ruth Bone has put the information in. She is the daughter of Alfred Bone DOB: 22.09.1863, s.o. Philip Bone, DOD: 14.06.1939 and Elizabeth Mary Bone,Nee:Howard,d.o. Robert Howard, DOB 06.01.1867- DOD 13.10.1951, married 18 Jan 1890. Sons and daughters are named in the register but there are no pictures in the family portrait gallery.

 

It would be nice for this bible to return to the family of Alfred and Elizabeth Bone, the bible was bought by me about 12 years ago from Harrogate not sure if this is where it originates from.

This lovely old document measures 70cm x 60cm. It is an Agreement and Covenants between Mrs G J Paumier and Mr. J Hugh Perrry dated 21st October 1830. There are three red wax seals on the botton on black inserts and a seal on side with cost of One pound 15 shillings. This is an old English document and would look wonderful in a frame. I think its about a property transaction/mortgage. I find old english script too hard to make out but no problem for an expert. Some age wear on back of vellum to be expected.

The CHILD'S BIBLE Illustrated This is a fascinating vintage version for serious collectors The award sticker on the inside front cover reads "Jireh" Band of Hope - 1st Prize Awarded to Gertie Purdue for Recitations July 11 1887 Signed - H. Matthews, Secy"

 

The Bible features both Old and Nw Testament Narratives with beautiful illustrations throughout. Unfortunately the page showing the publisher is missing.

 

CONDITION - Several of the first pages are missing, with the pages commencing on Page 17, which is the commencement page of the Old Testament (this page is loose).  The last two pages of the New Testament are also loose and quite damaged - though still readable.  There is pencil scribble on the inside back cover, and also on one or two other blank spaces on pages throughout the 738 pages. The binding is in pretty good condition for its age, so are the boards and spine intact (some water staining to the top of the spine and just spilling onto the back board), binding has separated from 3/4 of spine.

This official signed and printed passport measures a very large 12 1/4" x 16 3/4" and is for Anna Edwards who was the sister of the famous merchantman Oden Edwards from the house of Peele and Hubbell who had their trading offices in Manila at the time. Mr. Edwards was an extremely important person in Manilla society at the time and later became a US agent and representative for the US Government in the Phillipine's. This rare item is completely fresh to the market and is in incredible condition having come out of an estate in Maine.
