[SIR JOSEPH BANKS]

This is to Give Notice, that Robert Toyne of Harrington has been appointed by Sir Joeph Banks, to destroy these Vermin, under the superintendence of Mr. Showler of Revesby...

Horncastle: printed at Wear's Office, c. 1800. Following the planting of rabbits in the area to the great disadvantage of farmers, but probably to the advantage of poor countrymen who trapped and killed them for food, Robert Toyne"...has Sir Joseph's permission to use Terriers, Finders, Lurchers, Traps, Ferrets, Nets, and all other lawful devices> and has undertaken to extirpate the Rabbets, provided he can obtain proper assistance from the occupiers of the Lands now infested with them." Joseph Banks [1743 - 1820], botanist, naturalist, patron of the natural sciences, inherited the Revesby Estate on the death of his father in 1761 and divided his time between Lincolnshire and his mother's house in Chelsea, and later at his own home in Soho Square.

[AUTOGRAPH]. BANKS, Joseph.

[Autograph letter to Johann Gottlieb Frederic Schmidt].London, 30 April [ca. 1800]. 8vo (19 x 11 cm). Autograph letter in ink on laid paper, written on the first page of a bifolium, with the address on the last page. Folded twice more for posting with the address on the outside.

Joseph Banks (1743-1820) was a major supporter of the internationalist nature of science, being actively involved both in keeping open the lines of communication with continental scientists during the Napoleonic Wars, and in introducing the British people to the wonders of the wider world. It is in that capacity, and as the president of the Royal Society, that the writes this letter, inviting the German scientist Johann Gottlieb Frederic Schmidt, to meet him and the physician and fellow scientist Sir Charles Brian Blagden, former secretary of the Society, on the following day (1 May) at 11 o'clock at Bank's house in Soho Square, to discuss "the subject of his [=your] letter of yesterday". Schmidt was living in Greek Street, Soho, so it was a very short walk to Bank's house.Johann Schmidt had sent a letter to Joseph Banks the day before (29 April) apparently announcing a new invention. This letter probably concerned the invention Schmidt was to submit for a patent in 1805 (Repertory of arts, manufactures and agriculture, p. 320): "methods of sustaining animal life and combustion for a great length of time, at considerable depth beneath the surface of the sea, or other bodies of water in such a manner as to enable a person making use of such means to exist, and to move from place to place, at the bottom of the sea, or at any required depth between the surface and the bottom, with much more facility and advantage than by any other apparatus and contrivance which has been hitherto invented for that purpose". So Schmidt apparently invented an improved kind of diving bell. Blagden had taken an interest in human activity in difficult environments.In an old portfolio with notes by a collector dated 1928. With traces of the seal.

BANKS, Joseph

In order that the opinions of the Persons who framed the Drainage Bill for East and West Fens, may be known to those who are inclined to promote the scouring out of Wainfleet Haven at the present period, it has been thought expedient to circulate the following paper. Extract of a Letter from Sir Joseph Banks, dated, London, April 12th, 1802.

Horncastle: Printed at the Office of James Weir, [1802] Folio, single sheet, inner lower margin trimmed with no loss, old closed tear. Unrecorded. Sir Joseph Banks [1743 - 1820] had a family estate at Revesby, near Horncastle and he was the Lord of the Manor of Horncastle. It is likely that his estate would have been affected by these proposals. There is a Joseph Banks Centre in the town.

KAEMPFER, Engelbert (Sir Joseph BANKS, ed.).

Icones selectæ plantarum, quas in Japonia collegit et delineavit.London, [Library of the British Museum], 1791. Folio (42 x 26.5 cm.). With 59 etched plates, (8 are double-page), by Daniel Mackenzie. Slightly later half calf, marbled sides, gold-tooled monogram AL on spine.

[4], 3, [1 blank] pp.First and only edition of one of the rarest books on Japanese flora. The author Engelbert Kaempfer (1651 - 1716) was a professor from Lemgo, Germany, who joined the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a medical doctor in 1685. After periods in what are now India and Indonesia he travelled in 1690 to Japan to work as a doctor on Dejima (Deshima), the Dutch trading post or factory in Nagasaki. Sir Hans Sloan acquired his manuscripts, alsong with his drawings and herbarium, and arranged for their translation and publication, the first to appear in translation was The history of Japan in 1727. This English translation established Kaempfer's reputation as the 18th-century authority on Japan and deeply influenced Japan's image in Europe. The renowned botanist and companion of the 1768 Cook expedition Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820) was responsible for the editing and publication of the present work and dedicated it to the curators of the Library. In most cases no plates had previously been made from these drawings, so they remained unpublished. In the last years of his life Kaempfer himself had published only a small number of his drawings in his Amoenitatum exoticarum, printed in Lemgo in 1712. Thus the present publication introduces many Japanese plants for the first time to a large audience in the West. Kaempfer's herbrarium is now in the Natural History Museum, South Kensington.Royal Library duplicate stamp in the foot of title page. With some minor foxing, the last few plates stained only in the lower margin, not affecting the illustrations. Otherwise in very good condition.l Great flower books, p. 62; Henrey 886; Nissen BBI, 1019; Stafleu & Cowan 3484.
