Lot 27
'Blind Harry' (c.1440-1492) The Life and Acts of the Most Famous and Valiant Champion, Sir William Wallace Knight of Ellerslie. Maintainer of the Liberty of Scotland. Glasgow: Robert Sanders, 1699. 12mo (11.8 x 7cm), [28], 317 [3] pp., sigs. *-2*6 3*2 B-O12 P4, 18th-century tan morocco gilt, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt, title-page soiled and with traces of old ownership inscriptions, slight loss to upper fore corners of quires *-b affecting pagination and a few letters of main text, a few headlines trimmed, large ink-stain to 3*2 (last page of ‘The Printer to the Reader’), last few leaves a little frayed along edges, a few other marks From the library of the Murrays of Dollerie House, Crieff, Perthshire. Ownership inscription of Anthony Murray to initial blank. Rare black-letter edition of the work responsible for establishing William Wallace as a Scottish national hero of semi-legendary stature; the first edition was printed at Edinburgh by Chepman and Myllar c.1508 and apparently survives in a single fragmentary copy. 'Despite the lack of contemporary evidence regarding Harry himself, his poem has proved to be one of the most enduringly popular and most influential in all Scottish literature. John Mair and Hector Boece used it in the sixteenth century as a historical source; Robert Burns remarked on how it had inflamed his patriotic feeling; Sir Walter Scott drew on it for his Tales of a Grandfather; and its influence is visible in the hugely popular film Braveheart (1995). The place held to this day by Wallace in the popular imagination is principally due to Harry's portrayal; and on a more general level, his contribution to the Scottish sense of national identity is fundamental, matched only by that of Scott. This has long been recognized, but recent critical reassessments of his poem have materially raised his accepted standing as a writer, demolishing the notion of an untutored "minstrel" and revealing him as a poet of genius' (ODNB).

[Opponent of Isaac Newton] Hutchinson, John Group of works H[utchinson], J[ohn]. Moses's Sine Principio: represented by Names, by Words, by Types, by Emblems. With an Introduction, shewing the Nature of Body and Soul, the First State of Man … That by Reason of Man's Nature, and of his Fall, Persons, Things, and Actions, were represented by Substitutes, Types, and Emblems. London: W. Bowyer, 1729. First edition, 8vo, contemporary mottled calf gilt; Idem. The Use of Reason Recovered, by the Date in Christianity. Whereby we know, the State we are in; that there are Elahim; what they have done for us; the state they offer us; the Terms upon which they offer it. London: H. Woodfall, 1736. [Bound with:] The Religion of Satan, or Antichrist, Delineated, supposed to have proceeded from Knowledge and Reasoning; but proved to have proceeded from Want of Both. London: H. Woodfall, 1736. First editions, 2 works in 1 volume, 8vo, contemporary mottled calf uniform with the preceding work, spine labels perished [Library Hub mentions a plate in The Religion of Satan but this not found in another copy inspected and possibly not called for]; Idem. A Treatise of Power Essential and Mechanical. Wherein the Original, and that Part of Religion which now is natural, is stated. London: by W. Bowyer, 1732. First edition, 8vo, contemporary mottled calf gilt uniform with the preceding volume; and 15 other works, theology, Italian language, etc., 17th-19th century, leather-bound (26) From the library of the Murrays of Dollerie, Crieff, Perthshire. John Hutchinson's idiosyncratic polemics on natural philosophy and religion are notably rare on the market, an obscurity which with hindsight might seem inevitable in view of the stature of the man, indeed, the entire corpus of scientific discovery and thought, against which he set himself: 'They took as their principal target the publications of Isaac Newton … Hutchinson perceived early on the connection between Newton's ideas and the anti-trinitarian writings of Samuel Clarke, and denied wholeheartedly both the philosophy and the theology that underpinned these works. He rejected the idea of a vacuum and the concepts of attraction and of gravity … because they seemed to him to endow matter with activity and to imply that God might himself be material. Instead, Hutchinson argued that knowledge derived from the senses could not reach to the microscopic level at which God acted to create and govern the world. Revelation was the only sure key to these processes. Moreover, human understanding of revelation, which was provided by the Bible and in particular by those passages of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament that dealt with God's creative power, had been corrupted' (Scott Mandelbrote in ODNB).

Registration - PJI 6757 Chassis No. - SCBZS0007HCH21188 M.O.T. - March 2025 Odometer - 124,000 ‘PJI6757’ hails from 1987, the first model year of the “S” variant. The “S” carried through many enhancements from the range topping Turbo R, to give the Mulsanne a mid-life glow-up. ‘PJI6757’ showcases these, including the alloy wheels, interior upgrades and sportier handling courtesy of stiffer suspension. ‘PJI6757’ has covered 131,226 miles to date which is moderate for a 37-year old car with what Bentley described as “unstressed” mechanicals. Offered here with NO RESERVE. The current MOT is valid until March 2025 to allow for immediate, elegant wafting by the next owner. ‘PJI6757’ holds a category N – non-structural – insurance marker from 2018. Given the regal nature of ‘PJI6757,’ its Georgian Silver livery seems highly appropriate. Whilst ostensibly a rebadged Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit on the SZ platform, ‘PJI6757’ offers plenty of Bentley specific differentiators. First there is big, matrix meshed radiator cowl complete with “flying B” emblem. The 15-inch, “S” specific alloy wheels with big “B” inscribed centre plates also catch the eye, shod as they are with deep 70 profile tyres with subtle white-wall details. The paint and bodywork are rated “average” by the vendor with the bulk of the imperfections being located around the sills and wheel arches. ‘PJI6757’ seems to have been well cared for mechanically, throughout its life. Its mechanical provenance includes a new engine at around 34,500 miles, a conversion to unleaded fuel friendly valve seats in 1991 and a new gearbox and torque converter at 80,000 miles in 1995. The spacious, leather clad, Oyster hued cabin seems to have lost none of its “special occasion” grandeur for which the marque is known. Just the right level of patina appears to grace the commodious and well padded seats and accompanying contrasting piping. Deep lambswool rugs are present, except for the driver’s footwell where it is noted that the carpet is worn through in places. Surely this represents an enticing opportunity to acquire an honest and delightful Bentley at a merest fraction of its original £90,000 plus cost. In summary: · An honest and original example of the enhanced Mulsanne S model · In a very regal and Bentley appropriate colourway
Lot 27
Registration – TBC Chassis No. – TBC M.O.T. – NO Odometer – 192,452 The 200 version of the redoubtable W123 was the entry level model of this mid-sized executive saloon. This example started its life in South Africa, renowned for its benign and preservative, car friendly climate. This W123 was imported to the UK last year and has not yet been UK registered. At over 40 years old this W123 qualifies for Historic Vehicle status and, as such, will be MOT exempt and zero rated for vehicle excise duty. The overall condition of this W123 is vendor rated as “good,” with only the transmission getting an “average” rating. The W123 comes complete with original books and manuals, ample paperwork, spare wheel, tools, jack and two keys. The Mercedes has covered 192,465 kilometres to date, or around 119,500 miles. This Mercedes 200 is finished in its original Petrol Blue (877) paintwork which looks good for its age. There are a few minor scuffs and areas of bubbling noted but these seem relatively superficial. An original set of “Mexican hat,” 14-inch alloy wheels – a key Mercedes-Benz signature for this period. A matching set of 70 profile Dunlop tyres are fitted and there is some kerb rash noted to the outer rims of the alloys. The spacious saloon cabin is finished in Parchment hued (105) perforated and box pleated MB-Tex material. This presents very well and appears clean and fresh despite its light hue. The complementary coloured edge bound carpets seem to be original as does the majority of the cabin. Only a later Sony Bluetooth head unit is noted. The well sized and practical boot is home to the full sized spare wheel and accompanying tools. The original boot carpet appears to be missing. This 1983 model is the beneficiary of the later, more powerful M102, 1997cc inline four cylinder petrol engine. This carburettor fed power unit was originally rated at 108 bhp, sufficient for a 100 mph plus top speed. The transmission in this instance is a four speed automatic. A good level of paperwork is also present. In summary: A rare example of the entry level W123 200 saloon Presented in a highly original condition with an excellent period livery No NOVA certificate supplied

Lot 401
A 1953 Austin A40 Somerset 1,622 cc. petrol-engined, four-speed manual gearbox, four-door saloon motor car finished in black with beige upholstery. Registration No. NLU 367. First registered on the 26th January 1953. Engine No. 16AMW-L-H 345762. Currently showing 36,719 miles, (Not warranted Correct). She was acquired by the current owner in 1979 and she has been used on a regular basis since that time. In 1982, a 1,622 cc. A60 engine was installed (Swansea Notified) and in 1984 an A60 rear braking system was fitted replacing the original system. In 1993 the chassis was extensively repaired utilising 2 mm. thick stainless steel and all necessary repairs were attended to including new brake pipes, brake cylinders, brake shoes and new Phosphor Bronze rear leaf-spring hanger bushes. The indicators replacing trafficators were installed by a previous owner. A new wiring harness was fitted about 10 years ago. As will be noted, the engine is fitted with an S.U. carburettor. A new battery with a two year guarantee is fitted. The car starts immediately and the engine is running well, however the clutch would appear to require adjustment, as gear selection is currently rather difficult. Attention will be required to the foot-brakes, possibly the master cylinder, and a master cylinder is to be found with the car. This classic Austin of cute cloud-form, has very easy access via the large doors and a level floor without the normal obstacle of a raised sill. The car is M.O.T. and Road Tax exempt and the larger engine endows her with good power and torque. She is sure to provide great enjoyment to her new owner. ***As with all motor vehicles sold through our auctions, this vehicle is sold in its current condition and all vehicles should be inspected in person prior to bidding. N.B. BUYERS PREMIUM ON THIS LOT 10% + V.A.T. (Total premium 12% plus any specific on-line bidding fees).
