The Collection of John Lane Mullins

The collection of John Lane Mullins is offered for sale by Sancta Sophia College, within theUniversity of Sydney.

The collection has been held by Sancta Sophia College for several decades but in the interests ofmaking it more accessible to members of the public, the College now offers it for sale so thatserious collectors can enjoy its gems.

A talk on John Lane Mullins addressed to the Catholic Historical Society in 1959 by Fr. C.J. Duffyperhaps best explains the view John Lane Mullins took of his books:

“ a particular quality of the culture of John Lane Mullins needs mention. There was nothing ofthe selfish pride of ownership that is found in wealthy art lovers, or of a consciousness of artisticclass distinction in his.

Let me bring him and his thoughts on life and art down into the market place by quoting from aninterview reproduced in the Telegraph 12.4.35. ‘I stress the importance of sharing with others. The pleasure aroused by the possession of a good book or a fine painting should be passed on. There is no real satisfaction to be derived from keeping the book locked in a library, or thepainting tucked away out of sight of your friends. The privilege of possession is not enriched bythe practice of selfish isolation, but rather in the sharing of all treasures.’”

Bidding Increments

Bidding generally opens below the lower estimate and advances in increments of upto 10%, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion. Absentee bids that do not conform tothese published increments may be lowered to the next bidding interval.

Up to $200 by $10s$200 to $500 by $20s$500 to $1000 by $50s$1000 to $2000 by $100s$2000 to $5000 by $200s

Auctioneer’s Notice

Virtually all books from the collection of John Lane Mullins show marks of accession by thelibrary of Sancta Sophia College within the University of Sydney, to whom his collection wasgifted after his death. These marks consist predominantly of a shelf mark at the base of the spine,the shelf mark repeated discreetly in the top gutter margin of an endpaper or the first leaf, and anendpocket affixed to a blank leaf. There are no other markings, although in a comparatively smallnumber of instances the discrete college library stamp has been added to a front endpaper. Most,but not all, books and pamphlets bear the special John Lane Mullins bookplate commissioned forthe gift to Sancta Sophia. A good number of volumes, mainly those bound for Mullins by a localbinder, are in half calf of modest quality; these are mostly rubbed and worn. These factors havebeen considered in the estimates provided.

This sale comprises the collection of John Lane Mullins but we have included, with the approvalof the vendor, a handful of lots consigned by other vendors that complemented the Mullinscollection so aptly. These ‘introduced’ lots are signified with an asterisk next to the lot number.

Australian Book Auctions is most grateful to Charles Stitz, author of three series (a fourth inpreparation) of Australian Book Collectors, for generously providing an illuminating biographicalsketch of John Lane Mullins as collector.

_________________________________

John Lane Mullins (1857-1939)

John Lane Mullins, solicitor, politician, bibliophile and bookplate collector, was born in Sydneyon 4 June 1857 to Irish-born parents James Mullins and his wife Eliza, née Lane. James was aleading Catholic layman, wealthy from shrewd city real estate investments, and he later providedhis son with an independent income, which freed him from financial cares, and allowed him tofollow gentlemanly pursuits, such as the collection of books and paintings, and a career as patronof the arts.John was initially educated at private schools, and later by the Benedictines at St. Mary’s College,Lyndhurst, and St. John’s College, at the University of Sydney, from which he graduated B.A. in1876, and M.A. in 1879. He was then articled to Sydney solicitor Robert Burdett Smith, and afterthe customary Grand Tour of Europe in 1882-83, admitted as a solicitor on 23 February 1885. Sixweeks later he married Jane Mary Francis Hughes, the daughter of another Sydney solicitor, in asociety wedding celebrated at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney.Mullins was closely involved in many of the activities of the Catholic Church in Australia, thefounder of, and solicitor for, the Catholic Press, and a trusted adviser and confidant of CardinalPatrick Moran and Archbishop Michael Kelly. He was made a Papal Chamberlain in 1903, and aKnight Commander of the Papal Order of St. Gregory the Great in 1920.

He was nominated to the NSW Legislative Council in 1917, and served it continuously until 1933,a director of City Mutual Fire Insurance Co. Ltd. from 1923, and Tooheys Ltd. from 1927, andclosely connected to a large number of charitable bodies throughout his lifetime.Mullins was a significant patron of the arts, and as a young man studied music, and financiallyassisted the sculptor Achille Simonetti. Later he supported Hugh McCrae, and arrangedpublication of his first book. As well as books, he collected bookplates, and with Neville Barnett,founded the Australian Ex Libris Society in 1923, and was its first president. He was also presidentof the Australian Limited Editions Society, secretary and treasurer of the Society of Artists,Sydney, a trustee of the National Art Gallery of NSW from 1916, and its president in 1938-39. Hewas active in local numismatic and philatelic societies, and a member of the (Royal) AustralianHistorical Society.Survived by his four daughters, he died at the age of 82 on 24 February 1939 at Elizabeth Bay, andwas buried in South Head Cemetery. His wife had predeceased him in 1926, and his only son,Brendan, was killed in action in 1917. His library was left by his daughters to Sancta SophiaCollege in the University of Sydney, with some of the more valuable books lodged by the Collegein the Fisher Library for safe keeping.John Lane Mullins collected books on Australian history and exploration, Australian literature(including many presentation and inscribed copies, and a copy of Patrick White’s rare ThePloughman) and a variety of works relating to the history of the Catholic Church in Australia. Acopy of the 1893 Catalogue of Books in the library of John Lane Mullins at “Killountan”(notincluding “Australian” books, which form another catalogue.) is held by the State Library Of NewSouth Wales in the Mitchell Library, under Call no. Q 017.2/1. The 87- page typewritten documenthas as its frontispiece a contemporary sepia photograph of the spacious room in which the LaneMullins library was housed, and provides a detailed description of this part of the collection, infifteen categories, ranging from Bibliography to Voyages and Travel. For each work, the author,title, date and place of publication are listed, but the publisher’s name and details of condition areabsent. The works are not numbered, and as many are in multiple volumes, it is difficult toaccurately assess the extent of this part of the collection.A keen collector of bookplates, Mullins used a multitude of different plates on his own books.Andrew Peake, in his Australian Personal Bookplates, Tudor Australia Press (Dulwich, SouthAustralia, 2000) identified seventeen commissioned by him in the period 1892 to 1938, by artistsas diverse as Birmingham, Byrne, Cole, Feint, Fujinami, Godson, the Lindsays, Lionel andNorman, McCrae, Perrottet, Roberts, Sands, Spence, and Stuyvaert.He was remembered as a genial, lovable man, and an honourable and upright gentleman. At aCitizens Dinner held on 22 June 1937 at the Carlton Hotel in Sydney to celebrate his 80th birthday,and attended, it appears, by almost every person of consequence in the State, the then Premier, TheHonourable Sir Thomas Bavin, K.C.M.G., in moving the toast to the guest of honour said of him:“He has brought into his public life a spirit which was badly wanted, always has been and alwayswill be, and that is a complete freedom from bigotry or intolerance, and love of what is upright andhonourable, and a very high sense of public duty.”

London, J. Debrett, 1789. First edition of the first trading voyage fromAustralia. Debrett published Gilbert’s Voyage as a companion to his publication of Surgeon John White’s Journal and– very rarely – it is found bound up with it, as its publisher had suggested. Gilbert was commander of a First Fleetconvict transport, the Charlotte, who continued from New South Wales to Canton to pick up a cargo of tea on thereturn voyage to England. After a brief description of the colony – he was critical of the land around Botany Bay butmore sanguine about prospects further north – Gilbert commences his journal with his departure from Port Jackson toCanton in May 1788. During the voyage to China a number of islands were discovered and named, most notably theGilbert and Marshall islands that were named for Gilbert himself and Captain Marshall of the Scarborough, theCharlotte’s companion ship on the voyage. Gilbert’s has proved to be a rare book in recent years and although “theactual Australian interest of this volume is limited... it is an important and scarce work, particularly from the point ofview of general Pacific discovery” (Davidson). It is also, of course, a desirable companion and complement to JohnWhite’s First Fleet account. Ferguson, 38; Hill 2, 702; Wantrup, 18.Estimate $5000/7000

This is the earliest, and arguably the best written,eyewitness account of the earliest European settlement of Australia. White’s journal apart, the others are more or lessofficial in tone; none has the directness of Tench’s description of life in the first days of the colony. The bookappeared quickly, first being put on sale on 24 April, 1789 and proved extremely popular with three editions inEnglish, a Dublin piracy, as well as French, Dutch, German, and Swedish translations all appearing quickly. Tenchspent altogether four years in the colony, carrying out his military duties as a marine, but devoting as much time as hecould to exploration. He discovered the Nepean River and traced it to the Hawkesbury, and began the many attemptsto conquer the Blue Mountains. He was a lively, good-humoured and cultured member of the new society, and thesequalities come through in his book which gives a vivid picture of the voyage out, and the establishment of the town atSydney Cove.
