- This is a copy from the 19th century,
This is a copy from the 19th century, or possibly the early 20th, of George Cruikshank's book of caricatures titled Scraps and Sketches. The title page is undated and is laid down on another, tipped-in page so that the back cannot be read, but the front cover of the full leather binding reads "Scraps and Sketches / by / George Cruikshank / Double Set of Plates / Plain and Coloured / 1828". A printed notation on one of the FFEP reads "MORRELL BINDER" in reference to the bookbindery established by W. T. Morrell in London in 1861. A penciled bibliographic notation on another FFEP states, "24 plates in 2 states: uncoloured & hand coloured / 1928-29-31-32".
Thus, it is unclear exactly how old the book itself is or the coloring on the plates, though the binding must obviously postdate 1861. Reprints of Scraps and Sketches are known, though not in double sets of uncolored and colored plates.

- Y SCOTTISH ROSEWOOD STICK BAROMETER,
Y SCOTTISH ROSEWOOD STICK BAROMETER, BY ADIE & SON
EARLY 19TH CENTURY with brass vernier signed 'Adie & Son, Edinburgh', the plain case with arched top, with a stepped reeded bulb88cm highProvenance: Stevenson CollectionNote: Born in 1774 Alexander Adie was the nephew of the renowned Scottish instrument maker, John Millar. Adie became his uncle's apprentice in 1789 and his business partner, under the name of Miller and Adie, in 1804. The business continued to flourish after Miller's death in 1815. Adie was predominately interested in meteorological instruments and notably invented the Sympiesometer, or marine barometer, in 1818. Appointed as optician to both William IV and Queen Victoria, his success was formerly recognised when he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1819. He brought one of his sons, John, into partnership in 1835, while his two of his other sons set up businesses in London and Liverpool.
