Hutchins, D E, and others Reports of the Conservators of Forests for the Year 1899 330 x 205 Hutchins was an eminent Conservator of Forests, and he authored the valuable `Journal of a Forest Tour` in 1892. This extraordinarily detailed report runs to ii + 113 pp, starting with Part I (by Hutchins): Western Conservancy, Cape Town: ` . . . [more than 17 tons of seed were sown over more than 673 acres, against more than 15 tons] over 570 acres last year; 1,733,241 Seedlings and Transplants have been planted, in pits space 4 x 4 and 5 x 5, over 679 acres . . . to encourage Tree-planting 409,579 young trees have been soslde to the public [for a trifle over one half-penny each] against 349,582 sold last yeara. Seed valued at [more than 226 pounds] has been sold to the public at cost price, against [more than 412 pounds] sold last year.` And so on for 27 pp + a further 13 pp of appendixes. Then follow Parts II (Midlands Conservancy: C B McNaughton), III (Eastern Conservancy: J Storr Lister) and IV (Transkei Conservancy: A W Heywood) The centre of the front cover page is punctured, with small tears, and the damage is mirrored on pp i/ii, with the loss of a small amount of paper. The contents are brittle, with sunning towards the page edges, but everything is clearly readable.

He married in 1793 Lady Susan Gordon, third daughter of Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon. Manchester held office as Governor of Jamaica for nineteen years from 1808, where he prepared the colony for the emancipation of slaves. It is possible that he commissioned the present service from Rundells in connection with his new posting to the Caribbean; thence by descent at Kimbolton Castle until the 20th century and acquired by the present vendor by private treaty in 1996. The design of this elegant serpent handled tea service by Paul Storr was one of the most popular marketed by his firm, Rundell, Bridge & Rundell. Such was the demand that Penzer (1954) recorded no fewer than nineteen examples of the hot water jug or coffee pot alone. The most prestigious goldsmiths of the age, they employed leading artists as designers and their craftsmen were highly skilled in all branches of the craft - raising, casting, chasing and engraving. Based on the ancient Roman oil lamp, its adaptation to the individual forms of a tea service was probably executed by the French painter and designer Jean-Jacques Boileau (1787-1851). His design for a very similar hot water jug or coffee pot is in the Victoria & Albert Museum. Boileau was in England at the time, having been employed by Henry Holland in the redecoration of Carlton House for the Prince of Wales. A similar service in the Gilbert Collection is fully discussed and illustrated Schroder (Timothy B), The Gilbert Collection of Gold and Silver, Los Angeles 1988, pp 371-7.
