tannhäuser und der sängerkrieg auf wartburg (1845) is an opera in three acts with music and text by wagner, inspired by two german legends. the story centres on the struggle between sacred and profane

when he died. the most significant revision was made for the opera's premiere in paris in 1861. the opera remains a staple of major opera house repertoire in the 21st century. richard wagner is primarily known for his operas (or 'music dramas' as some of his later works were known) and, unlike most opera composers, wagner wrote both the libretto and music for each of his stage works. the

destruction'; being the substance of an essay read before the askesian society in the session 1802-3, by luke howard, 'one of the principle uses of meteorology is, that it enables us to predict, in some measure, the ensuing changes of the weather. to do this accurately, a familiar acquaintance with the modification of the clouds, and indeed with all the operations which are going on above, appears necessary. when two or more contrary indications appear, the result must be deduced from those which ultimately prevail; & that when several agreeable signs appear, the event may be predicted with additional certainty\u0085some animals express signs of uneasiness previous to an alteration of the weather long before there are any visible signs of a change. dogs for instance become very drowsy & stupid before rain & their ears are sometimes found considerably inflamed\u0085.cats though in a less degree are affected in the same manner - and a leech, confined in a glass of water, has been found, by its rapid motions\u0085to indicate fair or wet weather. peculiarities in the electric state of the atmosphere may\u0085affect the constitution of animals in the same manner as they appear to do ours, & thereby excite pleasurable or uneasy sensations', from the 'researches about atmospheric phaenomena etc.' by thomas forster (london, 1813), 'in the formation of thunder storms i have noticed that when the rain actually begins to form and descend, the intensity of the blackness is not so great as where the cumulostratus is only going into a state of nimbus. if therefore the density is increased in the formation of drops of water, the blackness must depend on some other peculiarity of structure', from an article in 'the philosophical magazine' (vol. xli, london, 1813) written by thomas forster, 'to establish meteorology on a solid basis we should inquire into the extent and constitution of the medium we breathe and assist external observation by the different philosophical instruments which implicate at all times the exact condition and qualities of that mutable fluid', from the 'treatise on meteorology' by john leslie in the quarterly journal of science, literature, and the arts (vol. xiv, article x, london, 1823) 'white clouds on a grey ground, is one of the most certain indications of a mixture of two currents possessed of different constitutions. storms are more sudden from the west points, in their commencement and are preceded by greater indications of commotion in the atmosphere, are attended with greater variations of the barometer, are more squally in their progress, more partial in their extent and generally of less duration than those from an east point', from 'remarks upon meteorology; with a specimen of a new meteorological table' by dr.bostock, as it appeared in 'a journal of natural philosophy, chemistry and the arts' by william nicholson (vol. xxv, london, 1810),  'the limit, or boundary of the atmosphere terminates where the expansive force or power of the air, upwards, or from the earth's surface is completely overcome by the force or power of gravitation downwards, or towards the earth's surface, which is estimated at about 44 or 45 miles. it is computed that it would extend only to about 5 ½ miles in height if it were so compressed, that its density throughout should equal its degree of density near the surface of the earth', from an essay 'on the barometer' by richard walker of oxford, published in 'the philosophical magazine' by alexander tilloch (vol. xl, july - december 1812).  on two pages at the centre of the journal there can be found jenner's grey & black water colour depictions of cloud types, faithfully rendered in the style of the originals as they appear in luke howard's on the modification of clouds (1803). a third original illustration has been neatly excised from its page. bound in the original, plain dark cloth boards (some light staining and age wear) and with a pencil

and not significantly affected in any way. generally g  £15000 - 20000  a fascinating and remarkable meteorological record compiled by jenner for his personal reference. jenner's interest in meteorology is not well documented, however, it would undoubtedly have been a subject of great importance to him in association with his experimentation with ballooning and his studies of bird migration. the present notebook offers a unique insight into the aspects of meteorology he most desired to understand. jenner is frequently referred to as the 'father of immunology' and his work is said to have saved more lives than the work of any other human. a member of the royal society, in the field of zoology he was the first person to describe the brood parasitism of the cuckoo. in 2002 jenner was named in the bbc's list of the 100 greatest britons."},"lotNumber":"248","title":{"es":"jenner edward:

(post 1802), to baron de lessert. in an elegantly penned letter bentham writes to introduce his friend edward blaquierre, 'now for the occasion: eyes such as yours are of course continually in their travels over the habitable globe viewed through a french medium, the scene exhibited by the regeneration of spain can not but be familiar to you: not so, perhaps, through an english one. edward blaquierre, a most serviceable friend of mine, is in no inconsiderable degree, qualified to satisfy any curiosity which that scene may have left unsatisfied. he is of the noble irish family of that name. the head of the family - a sir john blaquierre - being a parliamentary leader and one of the proprietors of seats in the house of commons', also explaining that edward blaquierre is a naval lieutenant and was in command of a ship in the mediterranean 'and in that capacity distinguished himself in various ways, amongst them by saving a bey of tunis from an insurrection' and that 'in the world of letters he is known to advantage by several works: one of them entitled ''letters from the mediterranean'' in which some mention, i believe, is made of the tunis adventure' and further commenting 'there is a good deal of the irish enthusiasm and a little more than enough of the irish impetuosity and eccentricity in his turn of mind....amongst his eccentricities was that of sticking into that work of his an enthusiastic passage or two about the delight of codification coupled with the mention of a name so little worth it as that which began this already too long letter'. bentham also informs his correspondent that he had not heard from blaquierre for some years when he received a letter from him 'on the point of embarkation on a visit to spain with two declared objects: one of these was the giving in that country what notoriety he could to my works: the other, not then explained, but which has since turned out to be, the writing a history of the revolution, the news of which had just arrived here. not only unpaid but unasked by me, or anybody else, he has been working for me with as much zeal as the highest paid ambassador could manifest in the service of his monarch: and to that zeal, i am indebted for that notice from the cortes, of which some not very correct accounts, i believe, have found their way into some of your well-disciplined and well-purified newspapers. he continues full of gratitude for all the service he has done me'. bentham states that blaquierre has been married for a year and is currently residing in paris ('a place of abode which the state of his finances renders a rather more convenient one than london') and is occupied in the completion of his history of the spanish revolution, continuing 'the liberty, i am thus taking with you, is, on his part, altogether unasked and unexpected. it would be a real satisfaction to me to bring together two men so worthy of each other: but my respect for both of you forbad my annoying either of you by a letter of introduction, which i have no title to give, and which it might be unpleasant to the one to receive, or the other to deliver: should, therefore, any intercourse have place, it is with you that it will commence'. the philosopher also writes of blaquierre's proposed renovation of a property near montpellier and continues to reflect on previous meetings with his correspondent and their wife at their home in paris in 1802 as well as pleasant days 'at a place i had for four or five years in devonshire', remarking 'madame la baronne, your wife, who was then skipping about from room to room in a state of maiden innocence, can not possibly have had cognizance of my existence, unless it were by the gloom with which the sight of a stupid old man, with deaf and aching ears, may have damped the gaiety of the rest of the company' and also writes of a mr. garnier, whom he believes has now been made a marquis, observing 'if he is a man like other men, and in particular like other frenchmen, the evidence i gave him of the impression made upon me by his discoveries in relation to the monetary system of ancient rome, as detailed in his translation of adam smith, did something for me. should mr. blaquierre become known to you, perhaps you might give him the additional honour of being known to mr. garnier'. bentham concludes his letter with an anecdote concerning his correspondent's mother, 'one person of your family, the remembrance of whom (would you think it?) is still a source rather of uneasiness to me than satisfaction, is madame de lessert, your mother. yes; for the chance of breaking your ladies with a laugh, i will give them matter for one, though it be at my own expense. at that dinner of which i partook at your house, there were, i suppose, not so few as twenty in company, all of the masculine gender - all of them compleatly unknown to me. as we marched in procession from the drawing room to the dining room, i observed madame de lessert's hand stuck by her side, waiting for some other to take hold of it. it had never entered into my conception that the honour could be designed for any such insignificant person as myself: observing, however that the hand still remained single, i perceived my mistake: but it was then too late to attempt repairing it, without encreasing, instead of obliterating, the ridicule. if the lady be still giving the family the benefit of those virtues, of which i heard so much, and to which the evidences were so visible in her countenance, lay me at her feet. i beg of you, communicate to her this my confession, and, if she gives me absolution, blaquierre, without trouble to your pen, might be the bearer of it´. some extremely light, very minor age wear, vg £1000 - 1500 jules paul benjamin

'bill' grinnell - author of american big game fishing (1935) in collaboration with lynn bogue hunt and ernest hemingway. grinnell's introduction to the book and the charts provided within it explain that the fishing records started in the 1930s (the period when hemingway began big game fishing, inspired by the cuban fishermen who had been towed for two days by a giant marlin) were inaccurate on the subject of size. her description of fishing for big game also contains many elements found in hemingway's the old man and the sea (1952) - the beauty of the ocean and marine life in particular. hemingway's economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, winning the nobel prize for literature in 1954."},"lotNumber":"408","title":{"es":"hemingway ernest: (1899-1961)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/2236/lot/111873/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":3200,"soldPrice":3600,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T04:49:38.080Z","textCase":"lower","currency":"GBP","id":111873},{"startPrice":400,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/111874/11/11.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/111874/12/12.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/111874/13/13.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/111874/14/14.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/111874/15/15.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/111874/16/16.jpg"],"soldDate":"2017-06-03","available":false,"description":{"es":"camus albert: (1913-1960) french author and philosopher. nobel prize winner in literature, 1957. signed and inscribed 4to page, angers 1953, being an inside page of the ii festival of dramatic art official programme at angers. signed and inscribed in bold purple ink (`to madame louisette, with my grateful souvenir, albert camus´) in french, above his photograph. the 24 pages programme includes twenty additional autographs of french artists participating at the angers festival, each of them signed and inscribed to the dressmaker louisette, alongside their own photographs, including maria casares (1922-1996) and serge reggiani (1922-2004). vg £400-600"},"lotNumber":"409","title":{"es":"camus albert: (1913-1960)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/2236/lot/111874/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":400,"soldPrice":600,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T04:49:38.082Z","textCase":"lower","currency":"GBP","id":111874},{"startPrice":900,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/111875/2/2.jpg"],"soldDate":"2017-06-03","available":false,"description":{"es":"sartre jean-paul: (1905-1980) french philosopher, playwright & novelist, awarded (but refused) the nobel prize for literature in 1964 .  a.n.s., j sartre, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d.

family and who has only £100 a year to maintain them, remarking 'he has been begging me to interceed (sic) with the adm.[iralty] again but i have been so rebuffed that my spirits are gone & the great troubridge has what we call cowed the spirits of nelson but i shall never forget it.' the admiral resumes his letter having just received emma's 'kind letters' which have 'given me great comfort' and

in august 1798 troubridge's ship of the line, hms culloden, ran aground whilst getting into position in preparation for an attack on the french fleet and was consequently unable to take any part in the battle of the nile. at nelson's request, however, and as mentioned in the present letter, troubridge was awarded the gold medal commemorating the victory. from 1801-04 troubridge served as a lord of the admiralty. philip somerville (1763-1817) english naval captain who commanded a division of boats under lord nelson at the raids on boulogne in august 1801, just a few months prior to the date of the present letter. somerville was wounded during the unsuccessful attacks although his division was the only one that succeeded in getting on board the enemy. william nelson (1757-1835) 1st earl nelson, 2nd duke of bronte. anglican clergyman and elder brother of lord nelson, referred to as the 'revd. dr.' in the present letter. by a special remainder william nelson succeeded in his younger brother's titles upon his death in 1805 and was further honoured as earl nelson and viscount merton in recognition of his brother's achievements. william nelson's wife, also referred to in the present letter, was sarah yonge (c.1749-1828). they were married at swaffham in norfolk on 9th november 1786. 1801 had been a busy year for nelson, both domestically and in service. in january, he met with his wife, frances 'fanny' nelson for the last time. with their marriage effectively over, the heartbroken fanny, was taken in by nelson's father, reverend edmund nelson, whilst horatio nelson's open cohabitation with emma hamilton scandalised polite society. in the same month nelson was promoted to vice admiral of the blue and appointed second in command to admiral sir hyde parker whose fleet were to sail to the baltic. in february emma hamilton gave birth to horatia, nelson's daughter, at 23 piccadilly, the home of sir william hamilton (and to where the present letter was addressed). nelson received the news whilst at torbay, preparing to sail, and was overjoyed at the birth. on 2nd april 1801 nelson participated in the battle of copenhagen during the war of the second coalition. the british naval fleet, under the command of parker, defeated a danish fleet anchored just off copenhagen, with nelson leading the main attack. he famously is reputed to have disobeyed parker's order to withdraw by holding the telescope to his blind eye to observe the signals from parker. the signals had given nelson permission to withdraw at his discretion, yet he declined. copenhagen is often considered to be nelson's hardest-fought victory, ranked among battles such as the battle of trafalgar, as the danes offered a very steadfast resistance. the british public viewed the battle of copenhagen as a great victory and as a result ministers in england called for nelson to take over parker's command. nelson was subsequently appointed commander-in-chief of the baltic fleet and made viscount nelson of the nile and of hillborough.  nelson was writing to hamilton almost daily from hms amazon in october 1801, however the present letter is not published in the letters of lord nelson to lady hamilton (1814) and neither is it published in the dispatches and letters of vice admiral lord viscount nelson (vol. iv, 1799-1801, ed. by nicolas and published by henry colburn, london, 1845) or in nelson - the new letters (ed. by white and published by the boydell press, 2005). nelson was noted for his inspirational leadership, superb grasp of strategy and unconventional tactics, all of which led to a number of decisive naval victories, particularly during the napoleonic wars. his death at the battle of trafalgar in 1805 secured his position as one of britain's most heroic figures. the significance of the victory and his death led to his signal, 'england expects that every man will do his duty', being regularly quoted, paraphrased and referenced up to the present day. nelson's memory and legacy remain highly influential."},"lotNumber":"432","title":{"es":"nelson horatio:

be furnished, but at the same time care must be taken that they have what appears sufficient in case of emergency to secure success provided they use every kind of exertion which the cases that may occur can possibly demand.´ further on saying about the situation in germany `after i have consented to let the british infantry return from germany which cannot but be looked upon as a personal sacrifice considering the exposed situation in which my electorate will be left, it is but just that i must insist that the british cavalry now there be left to preserve my dominions, and consequently that that corps be compleated [sic] to its full compliment and without further loss of time formed with the german troops into n army of observation not a cordon to act independently of the austrians..´ the king then refers to gibraltar stating `gibraltar must be kept by sending young corps to season there in a respectable state. ireland must be furnished with feasible regiments to replace regiments that can be employed in foreign service. the same measure must be followed up in guernsey and jersey, and the island of corsica must have a sufficient [sic] to prevent any insult from the enemy.´ george iii concludes saying `..the only possible means that can occur to me would be if some irish troopers could be taken from ireland as the foundation of some new corps of cavalry and sent with such recruits as may be raised to form a corps of that nature\u0085 upon the whole i would have you therefore state the whole on paper, then send for the secretary of war and apprize him

explosion of the ship, and further to the officer and the twelve sailors who found me almost dead at 07h in the evening and who brought me back to life´. frost concludes saying `i am alive thanks to
