Conditions of Sale 
 
 1. Rejection of Bids. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which 
 is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid 
 would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 
 
 2. The Buyer. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises between two or more 
 bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 
 
 3. Identification and Deposit by Buyer. The name of the buyer of each lot shall be given immediately 
 on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a card giving the lot number, amount for 
 which sold, and his or her name and address. 
 
 A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the purchase prices as may be 
 required. 
 
 ff the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so purchased may at the option of 
 the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 
 
 4. Risk after Purchase. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter neither 
 the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss or any damage to any article occasioned by 
 theft, fire, breakage or any other cause. 
 
 5. Delivery of Purchases. Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon payment of the total 
 amount due for all purchases at the sale. 
 
 6. Receipted Bills. Goods will be delivered only on presentation of a receipted bill. A receipted bill 
 presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order by the buver, directing the delivery to 
 the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has 
 been made, the buyer should immediately notify the Association of such loss. 
 
 7. Storage in Default of Prompt Payment and Calling for Goods. Articles not paid for in full 
 and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following that of the sale may be turned 
 over by the Association to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the time of the 
 delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will 
 be charged against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will 
 be upon the purchaser. 
 
 In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the day following that of 
 the sale, the Association reserves the right, any other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, 
 in respect to any or all of lots so purchased to cancel the sale thereof or to re-sell the same at public or private 
 sale without further notice for the account of the buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any losses and 
 costs sustained in so doing. 
 
 8. Shipping. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no 
 wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current 
 and reasonable rates carriers and packers: doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on 
 its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 
 
 9. Guaranty. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly and endeavors therein 
 and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made 
 either by the owner or the Association of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or 
 condition of any lot and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or im- 
 perfection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold ‘‘as is’’ and without recourse. 
 
 Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Association will give con- 
 sideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued 
 and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, 
 who thereby will become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 
 
 10. Records. The records of the auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to be considered final 
 and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and seller as the value against which all 
 claims for losses or damage shall lie. 
 
 11. Buying on Order. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders trans- 
 
 mitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. 
 
 Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event ofa 
 
 purchase of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been 
 
 present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from 
 
 aed date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded if the lot in any manner differs f10m its catalogue’ 
 escription. 
 
 Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as to leave no room for 
 misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated 
 to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the 
 bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Associa- 
 tion, a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. 
 
 Priced Catalogues. Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be furnished by the Associ- 
 ation at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copying the necessary information from the 
 records of the Association. 
 
 No person other than the auctioneer or an official of the Association is authorized to arrange conditions 
 of sale different in any way from those herein contained.

 Days perigrination of the Five following persons Viz: Messieurs Tothall, 
 Scott, Hogarth, Thornhill & Forrest. Begun on Saturday May the 27th 
 1732 and Finish’d On the 31st of the same Month.” WITH 10 ORIGINAL 
 WATERCOLOR AND WasH DRAWINGS INCLUDING ONE Map, By WILLIAM 
 HOGARTH AND SAMUEL Scott. Manuscript, with prose and verse on fac- 
 ing pages, covers about 25 oblong folio pages. Bound with the sketches in 
 an oblong folio volume, original calf. 
 
 ONE OF THE Most REMARKABLE HOGARTH ITEMS WHICH HAS BEEN OFFERED IN 
 MANY YEARS. The intimate association of the manuscript, together with the 
 ORIGINAL DRAWINGS EXECUTED, MAINLY BY HOGARTH himself, as no doubt Mr. 
 Scott’s assistance was slight, make the volume of the highest interest. 
 
 Laid in is an excerpt from The Table-Book, giving an account of the expedition 
 and a printed version of the above manuscript, headed by a woodcut reproduction 
 of a portion of the first sketch. The prose account by Mr. Forrest, together with 
 etchings of the sketches, was printed by Livesay in 1782. The versification by Mr. 
 Gostling was printed by Mr. Nichols in separate form, 20 copies only, and reprinted 
 by him in his Biographical Anecdotes of Hogarth, 1781. 
 
 The sketches include six incidental to the trip—landscape views, copies of effigies, 
 and the map of the tour, which was executed by Mr. Tothall. The interior scenes 
 and the first and last sketches in caricature are undoubtedly Hogarth’s own work, 
 as also possibly the views—and are FINE SPECIMENS OF THE WORK OF THIS GREAT- 
 EST CARICATURIST OF THE 18TH CENTURY.

 242. KOREAN MANuscripT NOTE, being the first communication from the Koreans 
 received by the United States Naval Expedition in 1871 under the com- 
 mand of Captain (later Admiral) Edward T. Nichols. With A. N. S. by 
 Admiral Nichols and his autograph translation of the manuscript. To- 
 gether, 2 pieces. 
 
 An important document in the naval history of the United States and our commer- 
 cial relations with the Far East. Admiral Nichols’ translation of the document 
 reads:—‘* Man of what country are you? For what business? On what moon and day did 
 you leave your honorable country and come hither? Have all their Excellencies been well? 
 How many of your honorable vessels have come forth from home, hither?"’ 
 
 243. KuFIC MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM. Leaf from the Koran. Written in Kufic 
 characters in black with the diacritical marks in red dots, on a leaf of vellum 
 814 inches wide by 5% inches high. Laid down on a cardboard (tear across 
 manuscript sheet neatly repaired). Probably Seventh to Ninth Century 
 
 OF THE GREATEST RARITY. EXCEPTIONALLY FINE SPECIMEN. 
 
 Kufic is specifically the character which was used in the time of Mohammed and in 
 which the Koran was originally written. It was gradually replaced by the Arabic, and 
 by the Thirteenth Century had practically fallen into disuse. The present manu- 
 script is a splendid specimen, and probably belonged to one of the very early tran- 
 scripts of the Koran. 
 
 244. Kuric MANUSCRIPT, ILLUMINATED. A Sura or Chapter from the Koran. 
 Written in Kufic characters in black, pointed in red and green, on 35 leaves

 in Arabic at beginning, gilt and colored circular ornaments on several margins. 
 Square 8vo, contemporary lacquered leather, sides covered with elaborate 
 floral designs. Circa Thirteenth Century 
 
 A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE OLD KUFIC WRITING, in exceptionally good preservation. 
 although several leaves are apparently lacking towards the end of the volume, 
 Persian note regarding the volume on inside of back cover. 
 
 245. Kuric Manuscript. The Koran. Written in Kufic characters on 151 leaves

 MiLTon’s Copy, WitTH His AUTOGRAPH INITIALS, ‘J. M.,'’ IN INK ON TITLE, 
 AND NUMEROUS UNDERSCORINGS IN THE TEXT BY HIM. THE AUTOGRAPH OF MILTON 
 Is OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF Rarity. The volume and autograph are in perfect 
 preservation. 
 
 This volume was sold at Sotheby’s some years back, and that catalogue descrip- 
 tion is pasted in. 
 
 These dramas by Frischlin were no doubt used by Milton as source-books in the 
 writing of his ‘‘ Paradise Lost.”’ 
 
 The CAsE in which this book is enclosed is made of wood from Milton’s house, as 
 above described, with certification of the same by John Wallen, bookseller, 58 Fleet 
 Street, which is pasted inside the case. Milton’s house in Barbican was taken down 
 to make way for the extension of the Metropolitan Railway from the Victoria Street 
 Station to Finsbury Circus. The schoolroom and study were paneled with oak, and 
 the wood of this case was probably made from a portion of these panels. 
 
 A VOLUME WITH THE ASSOCIATION INTEREST OF THE PRESENT, ENCLOSED IN 
 A CASE OF SIMILAR CLOSE ASSOCIATION WITH THE GREAT POET, IS OF THE UTMOST 
 VALUE TO THE COLLECTOR OF MILTON.

 The original owner, and possibly the writer, of this manuscript, the Abbé Antoine 
 Rolichon of Lyons, is said to be the MAN WHO STOLE THE QUEEN’S NECKLACE, im- 
 mortalized in Hugo’s novel of that name. His autograph presentation inscription,— 
 “‘Rolichon a mon neveu,"” is written on the inside front cover, which also bears his 
 bookplate. There are also several notes regarding Abbé Rolichon, written by his 
 nephew, to whom the volume was presented, and bearing his signature, ‘‘ Mr. 
 Fontaine de Bonnerive."’ Later signature of ‘‘James Burns, M. D."’ written across the 
 bookplate and on first page of preface and of text. 
 
 The manuscript itself is apparently an 18th Century copy of Nostradamus’ 
 famous work. The prophecies regarding the late World War were freely quoted 
 during the war.

 TIBETAN Manuscript. A portion of the Kandjur (Tibetan Buddhist Scrip- 
 tures). Manuscript written in the Tibetan language and characters in white 
 on a painted black ground, on both sides of 222 leaves of heavy oriental paper, 
 6 inches wide by 22 inches long. 
 
 AN EXCEPTIONALLY VALUABLE AND RARE MANUSCRIPT, as these manuscript 
 copies of the Kandjur are not permitted to be sold or taken out of Tibet, and there 
 are only two or three complete sets of the work in Europe. The Kandjur or Holy 
 Scripture of the Lamas of Tibet consists of 100 volumes, containing 689 works, and 
 was first compiled and written in the latter half of the VIII century from Buddhist 
 originals in India at that time. A detailed analysis of this Scripture has been pub- 
 lished by Csoma de Ké6rés, Hungarian scholar, and republished with notes, etc. in 
 French by Léon Feer. The great bulk of the collection consists of Mahayana books, 
 and as the Sanskrit originals of many of these are now lost, the Tibetan translations 
 are of great value to scholars. An opportunity such as the present to procure a por-
