 octavo. [ii]. 192 pp. 17 cm.

The leaf containing the title-page is a single disjunct, and the title-page itself has 
been removed from another leaf, possibly belonging to another copy, as the 
paper is considerably more worn and discoloured, and has then been pasted on to 
this disjunct leaf. It runs as follows:

[Within double-ruled frame] / Flagellum : / OR / The LIFE and DEATH, / 
BIRTH and BURIAL / OF / O. Cromwell / The late USURPER : / Faithfully 
Described. / WITH / An Exact Account of His Policies / and Successes: / Not 
heretofore Published or Discovered. / [single rule] / The Fourth EDITION with 
Additions. / [single rule] / - Furto laetatus inani / Distulit inseram commissa 
piacula inortem / Virg. Aeneid. / [single rule] / LONDON, / Printed by E. C. for 
Randall Taylor, and are to be / sold at his Shop at the Crown in / Little Britain. 
1669.

The title-page also carries the manuscript insertion "by James Heath", an 
ascription confirmed by Lowndes ( vol. II, p. 1030).

After the disfunct title-page leaf, the volume collates as follows:

A-G sup. 8, H sup. 4, I sup. 4, K sup. 8, L sup. 4, M sup. 4, N-O sup 8 [$4 (-H3, 
I3, 4, L4, M3, 4) signed]. There are missignings of B4 for A4, L for M (1).

Opposite the title-page, pasted to the verso of the fly-leaf, there is an open-out 
chart entitled "The Royal Oake of Brittayne" showing a portrait of Cromwell, 
several didactic quotations with illustrative accompaniment. 

There is a book label (72 x 62 mm.) pasted on to the end paper. It shows a deer, 
a capital "R" surrounded by a ring with the inscription "NOS NOSTRAQUE 
DEO".

There is also an illegible manuscript entry on the opposite page, followed by the 
words "Dundee 9 - 1849".

The brown leather binding is now in a precarious state.

 ...A Court-Martial, A Retrospect, by William Cobbett.

octavo. [viii]. 163 [1] pp. frontis. 23 cm.

Introduction by G. D. H. Cole.

Printed by T. E. A. Constable Ltd., the University Press, Edinburgh, on Arches 
paper. The text is set in Baskerville type.

The frontispiece, after the cartoon by Gillray, is coloured through stencils by the 
Curwen Press. This is number 409 of an edition limited to 1800 
copies.

 At the height of the anti-corn law agitation, Cobden is 
pleading to be excused from "local contests", despite his election to freedom of 
the Guildry. It is easy to sympathise, as Cobden was renowned for his tendency 
to assume a disproportionate workload, a trait which probably accounted for his 
early death at the age of 60. Compare this tortured hand with the far more 
relaxed 1860 letter.

 Acknowledgement of notice of a resolution, thanking Cobden 
for "services in connection with the arrangement of the Treaty of Commerce 
with France". This concerns the pinnacle of Cobden's career, when he negotiated 
the great free trade agreement with the Emperor Napoleon III. At this period, the 
negotiations had only just concluded, and Cobden was presumably holidaying in 
Algiers.

 William Farmer, a weaver and native of Ceres, was born 
about 1787. He served in the 34th (Fifeshires) for 10 years prior to his discharge 
due to "epileptic fits".

 This document records the occurrences on board various 
vessels during several voyages. Although the period principally covered is the 
1830s, there are entries for as early as 1826 and as late as 1846. The entries are 
written from both ends of the logbook and meet in the middle. Dowie was 
undoubtedly an experienced member of the crew, and a harpooner. There is 
some doubt however as to whether this is the ship's official log or whether he 
was simply practising for future command. Catches illustrated with whale flukes. 
Conserved by Tom Valentine, Larbert, 1993.

 First entry is Nellie Melba and last entry is Val Doonican. 
Last entry but one - coincidentally - Paul Melba.

 Additional signatories September 1691. Document is not 
complete due to rodent damage. Conserved c. 1992.

 A large foolscap volume of over 1000 pages in neat copper 
plate with page decorations. It is notable for the numerous exquisite pen and ink 
hand-tinted illustrations. Many are after the style of Botanical Magazine, but 
some others are incorporated within the text. There are in addition a few 
engravings, cut and pasted. There are other titles within the volume, including 
"Journal of Natural History". Conservation work and rebinding by Tom 
Valentine, Larbert, 1995.

 12o. pp. [iv], 51, [1]. Bound in with "The flora of 
Forfarshire" by the same author, catalogued elsewhere.

Dundee. Printed by McCosh, Park and Dewars of Dundee. 12o. pp. [4], xxiv, 
308. 18.5 cm.. First two leaves include 2 samples and an engraved illus- tration.

 [4], x, 281 [1] pp. 16 cm.

The volume was rebound in 1833. A new title-page, first leaf of preface and final 
leaf of the text were substituted for the lost originals.

 The records are mainly of the registration of apprentices to 
the masters of the trade, but it also includes the accounts of the various Deacons, 
and a list of acts and statutes of the craft. The book is bound in leather covered 
wooden boards and part of the iron lock remains, with the imprint of the hasp 
mounting clearly visible on the rear cover. In 1872, A.J. Warden found only 
references to this book, and it was therefore probably lost to sight for about 180 
years before being donated to the library by Mr. Bryan Lindsay, 51 Mains Loan, 
Dundee. Chief Librarian's report to Committee, dated July 1976, is in the MS 
catalogue. Conserved c. 1990.

 From the Latin edition, probably of "Atlas 
Novus".

 This sheet is from the German edition of either Atlas Novus 
(1654), or Atlas Maior (1662). Differs substantially from imprint illustrated in 
"The Mapping of Scotland", John Bartholomew, 1971.

 A hasty campaign despatch, probably written during the last 
few weeks of Dundee's life. The text reads: "Sir, Thes day I receved a letter of 
yours writ the last of may. I admer it was so loing of coming to me I hop the men 
hes ben with you to recue the oxen what mony thay ar mor let me know and you 
shall have it for gave thes truball from sir your assured frind and servant. J. 
Dundie Juni 21 (?24) [1689]".

 Hay, Charters and Documents, p. 114.

 Fragment of a manuscript.   The document has ben clipped at 
both edges, at least 2-3 words have been lost in each line, but enough survives to 
give the gist.   It dates from the reign of Henry IV, and probably from the 1590s, 
but without further research on the specifics of the lawsuit discussed, it is 
impossible to narrow the date down further.

The device consists of a figure, half man half winged beast, carrying a scythe to 
symbolise time, and standing on a plinth with the word TEMPUS inscribed on it. 
There is also the motto:  hanc aciem sola retundit virtus (virtue alone withstands 
this blade). This is an early version of the Simon de Colines device.

Manuscript note on card affixed to the fly-leaf reads: "First French edition. 
Presented to Lord Provost Powrie on his visit to Orleans May 1948, by Henri 
Margottin".

 Title page indicates the addition of "the description and 
historie of Scotland...as appeareth in pag. 405:&c. By F.T." [Francis Thynne]. In 
fact there is a conventionally paginated (23 p.) version of this work in the 
William Harrison translation. It appears to be a censored edition. There is early 
graffitti, particularly on the flyleaf. An inserted note states that the autographs 
have been authenticated by the British Museum as those of John Graham, 
Viscount Dundee ("Bonnie Dundee").

 This Bible is known as the "He and She" Bible printed in the 
year 1613. There is a curious "error" in the 15th verse of the 3rd chapter of the 
book of Ruth. The word "He" is printed instead of"She". "He" is however a 
correct translation from the Hebrew.

 There are 14 originals, all of which have been transcribed.

 My object in the present lecture is not to give a general 
description of Electricity but to confine myself almost exclusively to the electric 
Telegraph, and as electricity and magnetism are so dependant on each other that 
if we have the one we can produce the other, the history of these two powers 
may be joined together. The earliest account of magnetism is to be found in the 
history of that wonderful people the Chinese, and as the account of it that history 
is not so far as I know to be found in any of our treatises on magnetism, I shall 
give it in full.
In the 6th year of Ching Wang who began to reign BC 1115 messengers came 
from the kingdom Yue Chang Shi and brought presents and did homage to this 
Emperor. This kingdom was situated to the south of Kiao Chi or of Cochin 
China. In return for such homage and presents the Emperor sent, among other 
things, five chariots of a new invention. The course was indicated by means of a 
small box made in the form of a dome and it contained a hand that always 
pointed to the south. The chariot was called on this account Chi Nan, the Chariot 
of the South. This machine was of great use to the  messengers of Yue Chang 
Shi, for after arriving at the kingdom of Fu Nan Lin on the sea coast they went 
on board vessels and by means of this needle were only one year in returning to 
their kingdom. Such is the description given by all the historians of China and  I 
see no reason to doubt of its truth. The same Emperor Ching Wang and his prime 
minister Chou Kung, about a year after this erected a gnomon in order to obtain 
the different altitudes of the Sun. This gnomon was 8 feet high and the shadow 
of the sun at noon on the day of the summer solstice was 1 ft 5 2/3 inch, at the 
noon of the winter solstice it was 13 ft 1 1/3 inch, and on the days of the equinox 
this shadow was 7 ft 3 1/2 inch. These measurements have been verified by 
Laplace and serve at the same time to authenticate the Chinese history and to 
prove the gradual diminution of ecliptic obliquity. From this too an argument 
might be drawn, were it necessary, [for?] the truth of the history of the magnetic 
compass. The subsequent history of electricity and magnetism is given in 
common treatises and we may pass at once to the famous discovery of Oersted.
This electrician was making a series of experiments on the connection of 
Electricity and magnetism an about the end of the year 1819 found that when the 
circuit was completed by the wires from the zinc and copper ends of a 
galvanometer Battery, the magnetic needle placed above or below the wire was 
deflected. Between this discovery & the year 1830 there were many that 
cultivated this science and there was a successive series of remarkable 
discoveries. The names of Faraday, Watkins, Ampere, Barlow, Marsh, Sturgeon, 
De la Rive, Vanden Boss, Ritchie, Nobili & Arago hold a distinguished place 
among these discoveries. It was in 1830 or 31 that I turned my particular 
attention to Electricity and I then formed an idea of applying it to Mechanical 
power, Illumination, & Telegraphic communication. I formed the idea of the 
modern Telegraph in 1832 . Having kept no note of dates I wrote to David Peter 
Esq. who was a member of the family in which I was then located, enquiring if 
he could assist me in the dates, and if he could remember what I then stated  
concerning the Telegraph - to which enquiry I received the following letter 
                --------------------------------------------------------
I may mention that Mr Peter strong interest in my experiments and often assisted 
me. A patent for the first Telegraph was taken out by Wheatstone and Cooke in 
1837 so that I must have formed the idea of it 4 or 5 years before this, but having 
resolved to get a constant electric light first the Telegraph was postponed. I 
obtained a constant electric light in 1835 and devoted  a year or two to bring it to 
perfection. My first public Lecture on it was in this Hall on Jan 15  1836. After 
this I made many experiments and sent intelligence through water this submarine 
Telegraph was I think about 2 years in advance of any other. For the last 6 or 8 
years I have scarcely made any experiments in Electricity till a few weeks ago. I 
then proceeded to examine if it was possible to send  it through water without a 
wire - an idea that I had formed about 10 or 15 years ago. On this subject I have 
made many experiments and from these I have the most perfect conviction that 
no submarine wires are necessary. Many experiments  require still to made 
before this mode of communication is perfected, but no doubt whatever exists as 
to the transmission. I shall localize the case in order to render it more intelligible. 
Suppose a wire connected with the copper end of the battery to be led down to 
the shore and connected with a sheet of metal laid in the river. Suppose a wire 
from the zink end taken to Brought Ferry and soldered to a metallic plate placed 
also in the river. Suppose similar plates laid in the river on the Fife side at 
Newport & South Ferry, and these are joined by a wire having in its course one 
or more Telegraphs. Suppose now that a charge of Electricity is sent through the 
wire on the Dundee side, this current may make its circuit from Broughty Ferry 
to Dundee or by a leap of two miles across the river to the other wire at South 
ferry and another leap of 2 miles from Newport to Dundee. In such a case I have 
found that part of the electricity does not go across & part of it does, but the part 
that does go across is sufficient to work one or 10,000 Telegraphs. I at first 
supposed that the two plates on the same side must be distant more than the sum 
of the two breadths of the river, or that that the longitudinal leap must exceed the 
[across?] leaps but experiments have shown that this is not necessary; a greater 
quantity of Electricity however goes across by increasing the distance of the 
north side or south side plates from each other
On a larger scale the wire from the copper end of the Telegraph in London may 
be conveyed to west most part of Pembrokeshire in Wales and there terminate in 
submerged sheet of zink. Opposite this at Wexford in Ireland, distant about 40 
miles let there be a sheet of copper whose connecting wire passes through 
Ireland  and concludes in a sheet of zink at Belfast. Across at Portpatrick, distant 
about 20 miles is another sheet of copper whose wire passes along the west coast 
of Scotland. The sum of the leaps across the Irish Sea is about 60 or 70 miles 
while the longitudinal leap is nearly 200 and hence the greater portion of the 
Electricity will go across. The wire carried to the north of Scotland may be 
brought south along the E Coast. There may be a leap across the Tay at Broughty 
Ferry or Dundee over to a wire which is led to the Forth and the Humber returns 
by its wire to the zink in London.

On a still larger scale suppose a wire is led from the copper end of a Telegraph in 
London terminating in in a sheet of zink placed in the  sea at Dover, and another 
wire from the zink end conducted to Lizard Point in Cornwall joined to a sheet 
of copper thrown into the sea. On the French coast a sheet of copper is placed in 
the sea at Calais & another of zink at Brest and these sheets also connected by a 
wire with Telegraphs. Here the sum of the cross leaps is 120 miles while the 
coast leap or longitudinal leap is 320 miles. The greater portion of Electricity 
will go across & the Telegraph in London might work thousands



aid of the marine or oceanic battery. At  advantage might be taken of the 
submerged wires already in existence across to Dover, or the intelligence 
without a submarine wire might be conveyed across in the manner already 
proposed. I would recommend that these submerged wires should be if possible 
retained. A less powerful battery is in this way necessary as a great deal of 
Electricity  is often lost by the submersion of the plates. I would also recommend 
, not as indefensibly necessary but as in many respects advantageous, that a pair 
of submerged wires should pass across Bearings Straits. These insulated wires 
should pass from East Cape in Siberia to the island   being a distance of only 30 
miles; from  to  5 miles; hence to Fairway rock 10 miles; and across to America 
20 miles.  These submerged wires could be taken up if necessary as the greatest 
depth does not exceed 32 fathoms.

 When a current of Electricity  is sent through an uninterrupted wire that 
proceeds from the copper and returns to the kink, this current can be made to 
move in either direction with equal impetus. The same effect would take place 
were the submerged sheets all of copper instead of kink and copper alternately. 
The alternate arrangement of these marine or oceanic sheets greatly assist and 
promote the current when it moves in one direction but they equally impede and 
retard it when it moves in the other. Were the sheets all of copper they would 
neither promote nor retard the current in either direction, but simply conduct 
what part of it they got. As, however, a quantity is lost by each submerged plate, 
it might ultimately become so feeble as to be unable to move the needle

We shall now attempt to pull aside the curtain of futurity and get a glance of the 
coming feats and destinies of Electricity Intelligence from Australia instead of 3 
months will arrive in as many minutes and we may hold personal conversation 
with our friends at the N Zealand antipodes. The ship in the middle of 
the Ocean may be assailed by the united force of the winds and the waves. The 
billows may appear to
rise to heaven and the cavities descend to the bottom of the sea. The tortured 
vessel may reel to & fro
like a drunkard and every moment ready to become a prey to the angry waters. 
The passengers and crew are confounded. One after another the masts and sails 
give way and the helm is shivered into fragments. Left to the mercy of the

winds. The illfated bark is dashed in pieces on the rock or is stranded in the sand. 
Occurrences such as these are by no means rare and even steamers are not proof 
against the stormy elements.Electricity alone defies them and smiles at their 
fury. Sent from the copper it circumnavigates the world, and ere we have made 
one inspiration, is back to its zink. The net work of wire is destined to be spread 
above or interred beneath the surface of the earth. A spark and a signal shall be 
sent  from the battery of H
Despotism and Barbarism cannot stand in its presence; superstition and 
ignorance shall flee before it. With
a voice that shall reach the antipodes it shall proclaim the wrongs and the groans 
of the Madiai and register the stripes inflicted on the  illtreated slave. That 
archfiend of God and man that sits enthroned in the city of the 7 hills shall 
tremble at its approach, and its revelations will enfeeble the knees of the 
Austrian

Tyrant.  China, strewed with Telegraphy shall be no longer insulated, and the 
darkness of Brahmanism
fade before the light. The imposture of the prophet of Arabia will become known 
to his followers, and their affections will be turned from the son of Ishmael to 
the son of Isaac. The senseless tales of Buddha will be found a caricatured 
account and a parody of the Sage & Prophet that lived and died and lived again 
in Judea, and the Chinese sages be forced to exclaim - A greater than Confucius 
is here. The electric postman will leap from island to island in the southern ocean 
and extricate their minds from their erratic labyrinths. It will inflict a mortal 
wound on the anthropophogism of Papua, and the gales of Japan will be found 
unable to resist its ingress. In the twinkling of an eye it will waft its story from 
the [Yenisei?] to Caffreland and form Pekin to Washington.

The far spread groups of Siberia will hold frequent converse, and they will be 
warmed by a wire across the Himmaleh. The scattered sons of Adam will thus be 
reunited in a single family, and they will read with horror the black catalogue of 
their [red?] hostilities. Their swords shall then be  turned into ploughshares &
their spears into pruninghooks, and the other implements of war exhibited in the 
museum as a specimen of byegone barbarism. No more shall violence be heard 
in the land; wasting and destruction shall be kept aloof from the united family. 
The suckling child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child place 
his hand on the [baselisk's?] den. This happy era is drawing on apace, and the 
Telegraph must be regarded as a boon from Heaven to prepare for its arrival. 
The Continental storms may yet wax louder and louder, and we may have to 
wade to


the land of promise through reddened streams  But happiness is the more highly 
appreciated when
contrasted with misery, & the light of day with nocturnal darkness. The 
telescope has penetrated space &
revealed to us phenomena, magnitudes and motions of bodies distant many 
millions of miles.  The examination of the [rocks?] has detected organisms that 
lived and died, before our Epoch, myriads of years. The microscope has descried 
countless crowds of vitalized existences unknown to our forefathers.
The mind is enraptured with such sublime views, and spontaneous praise and 
wonder ascends from the 
unbiassed heart to the Maker of them all. Magnificent, however , as such views 
are, those displayed by Electricity are scarcely their inferior, perhaps the 
opposite.  No telescope has told us if the other bodies of our system be tenanted 
by rational animations and even if it were so, no signalling might be contrived 
that could be rendered intelligible. No human mind can

lay a wire from [Tellus?] to Neptune or make the amber [courser?] leap from 
Mercury to Uranus. 30 years ago, however, Electricity was found to be the cause 
of magnetism, and it may be proved in less than 30
years that gravitation is occasioned by it. The existence and stability of our solar 
system, and of all other systems, will then be seen to depend on it, and the 
sublime phenomena & motions obey its laws. Were all this the case, our ideas of 
it would be exalted to the uppermost but it would still be a creation unintelligent 
& insensible to our laudation, deaf to our entreaties and unable to deliver us; and 
our exclusive homage must ever be directed to the Author of gravitation, the 
Creator of Electricity.

 The former owner was Miss K. H. Gordon, a grand-daughter 
of George Huntly Gordon, one of the many young men whom Scott helped and 
who catalogued the library at Abbotsford. Two verses of the song have been 
crossed out but are legible and there is an additional verse. In his diary for 
22.12.23 Scott says: "The air of Bonnie Dundee running in my head today. I 
wrote a few verses to it before dinner, taking the key note from the story of 
Clavers leaving the Scottish Convention of Estates in 1688-9. I wonder if they 
are good". The song as published in "the Doom of Dvorgoil" has 11 stanzas; all 
are in the MS, but not all in their published form. This is evidently an early 
draft.

8TH April 1994

Dear Mr. Kett,

Thank you for sending me the copies of the pictures out of your manuscript. I do 
not think we will ever be able to positively identify your Walker with the 
Bodleian Walker but I am struck by the similarity of the hand which wrote the 
index to your book and the hand which produced the entries for Walker's 
catalogue at the Bodleian.

The pictures are naive but delightful, probably produced by a local artisan at the 
request of the owner. With your permission, I would like to keep the copies you 
sent me on file. I would  like to have some examples of the book to show to any 
readers who have an interest in Walker in case they would like to see your book 
as well as the Bodleian materials,

                                  Your Sincerely

                                   Gillian Evison

miscellaneous eighteenth century ornaments were engraved in wood by W. M. 
R. Quick. Printed at the Curwen Press, using offset lithography. Limited to 875 
copies of which this is number 95.

 Also known as "The Dundee Psalms" or "The Gude and 
Godlie Ballatis", this volume is on temporary loan to the National Library of 
Scotland.

This volume is thought to be unique, and possibly the first extant edition of the 
work. However, the date of publication and publisher is inferred from the title 
page of another work, included within the binding.

 This copy of the 1587 MS was made from a transcript of the 
original by the Rev. W. Macleod of Edinburgh.

 This MS contains the business transactions and lists of 
personal belongings of a Dundee merchant, in addition to the daily events of his 
life. The text is made up of 104 leaves one of which is torn in half and not 
included in the pagination laid down by A.H. Millar. The insides of the limp 
vellum binding have also been written upon. The binding has a flap which 
covers the front edge of the book and extends part of the way oper the back 
cover, with a linen tie to secure it. Although most entries are dated, strict 
chronological order has not been followed and the book is written from both 
ends. Conserved by Tom Valentine, Larbert, 1992. Shipping Lists in Dundee 
Archives.
