Banks (Joseph, 1743-1820). Copy of a report and Admiralty's draft reply, 1817 Banks (Joseph, 1743-1820). English naturalist, botanist and patron of the natural sciences. An original autograph draft of a letter to Sir Joseph Banks from Lord Melville (1771-1851), First Lord of the Admiralty, acknowledging the receipt of his report on the then favourable conditions in the far north for the prosecution of Arctic discovery, 10 December 1817, together with his manuscript copy of Sir Joseph Banks' report, (the original presumably having been passed over to the Admiralty), 29 November 1817, Sir Joseph Banks writes: 'It will without doubt have come to your Lordships knowledge that a considerable change of Climate, inexplicable at present to us, must have taken place in the circumpolar regions, by which the severity of the cold that has for centuries past inclosed the seas in the high northern Latitudes in an impenetrable barrier of Ice, has been during the last two years greatly abated, giving an account of [William] Scoresbys observations on the melting ice and considering the opportunities this affords, ' The Prince Regent's Government ... no doubt ... will be ready to avail itself of the favourable opportunity which now appears to have occurred to endeavour to correct and amend the very defective geography of the Arctic Regions, more especially on the side of America. To attempt the circumnavigation of old Greenland, if an Island or Islands as there is reason to suppose. To prove the existence or non-existence of Baffin's Bay; and to endeavour to ascertain the practicability of a passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, along the Northern Coast of North America, etc., etc., Lord Melville, in his reply, writes: 'The circumstances to which you have adverted have not failed to engage the attention of the Board of Admiralty, and we have deemed it our duty, in conformity with your suggestion, to give orders for the fitting out of four vessels of proper size and construction to be in readiness to sail on the 1st March with a view to the important objects stated in your letter. Our present intention is that two of them should proceed into Davis's Straights and from thence in a North Westerly direction, and that the other two should proceed along the Coast of East Greenland, and if practicable afterwards to the Westward, 2 pages (Melvilles draft letter) and 6 pages (copy of Banks report), folio, plus an unrelated manuscript document, signed on board His Majestys Sloop Chanticleer by Henry Foster, the commander, Deception Harbour, South Shetland, [Antarctic Peninsula], 31 January 1820, concerning store checking and accounts, some spotting, 1 page, folio Qty: (2)

Chinese School (c.1790-1810) - A group of four Chinese botanical studies
Est: £3,000 - £5,000
A rare collection of Chinese watercolours of flowers and fruit Circa 1790-1810 The largest: 34 x 27 cm. (13 1/4 x 10 5/8 in); the smallest: 30 x 20 cm. (12 x 8 in) Provenance: Formerly in the collection of the Right Honourable Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820) Bt, KCB, FRS, President of the Royal Society ; Private collection, US; from whom purchased by Mallett, 2007. The four watercolours available in the present lot were obtained through the connections that Sir Joseph Banks made in China between 1790 and 1800. They were painted by skilled but unidentified Cantonese artists around that time, the depictions of birds in trees being the earliest in date and the fish being slightly later. Sir Joseph Banks was a British explorer and naturalist who, as long-time President of the Royal Society, London, became known for his support of the advancements of science. Banks studied at Oxford from 1760 to 1763, during which time he inherited a considerable fortune. After graduating, he travelled to Newfoundland and Labrador in 1766, collecting plant and other specimens. In 1768, he led the Royal Society delegation on a voyage around the world with Captain James Cook, during which time they landed in New Zealand, at Poverty Bay, in 1769. While there, Banks described a great number of plants found in the area and wrote detailed descriptions of the Maori people who lived there. His scientific account of the voyage and its discoveries sparked considerable interest in Europe, encouraging European settlement near the Pacific Islands. In 1781, Banks was made a baronet and in 1795 a Knight Commander of the Bath. In 1793, his name was given to the Banks Islands, near Vanuatu in the Pacific, by Captain Bligh (of 'Mutiny on the Bounty' fame) who first explored them.

With this you will receive the papers I mentioned to you, the two are copies of proceedings in the P. Council for Trade you will not therefore allow any improper use to be made of them, I mean in publication. Nothing in them has any view to secrecy indeed both were sent to the E. India Company & have most likely been forwarded to the Governor General for the time being. I cannot help hoping that the mention made of my countrymen the Hemp growers has procured them employment if not I commit their care to you & to old Ld. Cornwallis''s friendship & Shall be under no small Obligations if you are So good as to put them into the way of becoming usefull to themselves & to their employers. I have Troubled you with some letters too late for the Post. Excuse the liberty allow me to wish you & your noble Patrons all success that the sea and the Lord can afford you & I can not hope for your having more good fortune than the interesting & amiable undertaking which has ordered my old schoolfellow at this time of life to Abandon again his Family & his Comforts Clearly deserves of all things however I beseech Both of you to think of nothing with so much pleasure during the whole time of your Absence as the Return to your country & Friends who be Assured will look forward with a pleasing hope to that not far distant event. Believe me my dear sir with sincere esteem & regard you most faithful Hble Servt, J. Banks", Soho Square, 13 April 1805
