ESTC S103772; STC 12766.7; Hanham, 'The Two Editions of Grafton's Chronicle of John Harding', Bulletin of the Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand III (1979) pp. 17-23 for the priority of this edition, First edition, with vertical chain-lines throughout, and leaf 2O4 beginning 'whiche' with lines 10-11 erroneously stating that Henry VII made 'Edwarde his eldest sonne duke of Buckingham'. In the second edition (STC 12767) the Continuation was revised, omitting most of the account of Henry VIII (quire 2V), which is also absent from some copies of the first issue. STC notes that the Harvard copy 'lacks Tt-Vv8 (last leaf of Hen. VII and all of Hen. VIII), and it is just possible that its text was originally abbreviated in a fashion similar to 12767', and that the Peterborough Cathedral copy 'also ends Ss8, completed by a few lines in MS'. (1)

A fine set of eight George III carved mahogany dining chairs in the manner of Robert Manwaring:, the backs with trellis work centred with quatrefoils in blind fret geometric surrounds, serpentine top rails with incised lattice and reeded pagoda crestings and cabochon rocaille ornament, the upholstered stuff over seats with blind fret seat rails and square chamfered legs, headed with pierced fret spandrels.*Provenance Kingsnympton Park, Devon.* Notes The present chairs closely relate to a design by Robert Manwaring illustrated in 'The Cabinet and Chair-Makers Real Friend and Companion,' 1765, pl. 13 and can also be compared with a design for a similar lattice-back chair illustrated by Thomas Chippendale in 'The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director', 1754, pl. XXII.* Notes Manwaring described himself as a cabinet-maker trading from the Haymarket, although no marked or documented furniture by him has yet come to light. Instead, he is best remembered for a series of publications in the 1760's of Rococo, Chinese and Gothic designs, from which the present chair is derived.'The Cabinet and Chair-Maker's Real Friend and Companion' gives advice on types of wood, painted finishes and even loose cushions, and indeed, Manwaring states that he has executed some of the designs for chairs, although these are not known to exist.Related examples include a set of chairs recorded in the Goldschmitt collection, illustrated in Ralph Edwards and Percy Macquoid 'The Dictionary of English Furniture' rev. ed., 3 vols, 1954, vol I, p. 286, fig. 192; a single chair illustrated in Francis Spar (ed.) 'Le Style Anglais' 1750 - 1850, 1959, p. 96, and an armchair now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, illustrated in Francis Lenygon 'Furniture in England from 1660 - 1760', 1914, p. 64, fig 92.* Notes A similar set of fourteen chairs was sold from the collection of Captain C W D Worthington, Kingston Russell House, Dorset, Christies, 24th September 1984.

 An unusual fine English turned and carved painted mid 18th century wooden doll, with face turned slightly to the right, dark inset glass eyes, unusually carved ears, the light lined eyebrows emphasised by a row of dots above, which also border the eye sockets, delicate profile and slight cleavage, the arms of stuffed cotton and painted wood, her light brown hair wig decorated with artificial flowers and net, wearing original eau de Nil blue silk sack back open robe “à la Française“ with matching petticoat and stomacher, the silk woven with a spot motif, the petticoat with horizontal pleated frilled bands, the open robe trimmed with padded rouleaux robings, the sleeves with triple ruffle cuffs, the stomacher and cuffs trimmed with silk blonde, a matching gathered choker, white linen corset with blue ribbon trim, a linen pocket, cotton shift, a short petticoat of woven diamond design, a short petticoat of linen with stitching simulating quilting and two further long petticoats of ribbed cotton, 1760s - 11½in. (29cm.) height of torso, possible original height - 18in. (45.5cm.) (missing legs and eight fingers, rub to nose, slight wear and silk perishing at hips); a child’s matching eau de Nil silk covered party mask with scalloped gathered top and an original note left by Mrs Frederica Capel-Cure née Cheney dated February 18th 1867, in which she leaves these dolls to her nephew Family history dictates that this group of dolls and textiles, lots 309 to 315, belonged to Isabella Byne, who was born in 1745 and died in 1797, aged 52. She married Ralph Carr in 1758, aged just 13. From research, it appears that Isabella had five children, including three girls: Isabella Carr, born in 1760, Annabella Carr, born in 1763 and Harriet Carr, born in 1771. Therefore it is most probable that the three dolls, dating from around 1760 and the 1780s, were purchased either for these girls or purchased and kept by Isabella as mementos of the girls. They have always passed down the female line, staying in the same family for the last 250 years: Isabelle Carr, née Byne. Harriet Cheney, née Carr – wife of General Cheney of Langley, Derbyshire and Badger, Shropshire. Frederica Capel-Cure, née Cheney - wife of George Capel-Cure. They have remained in the Capel-Cure family home, Blake Hall at Ongar in Essex, since the late 19th Century.
