A George III silver badge for the Edinburgh Skating SocietyBy Dick & McPherson, Edinburgh, circa 1808, no date letter Oval, the overse engraved with a pair of crossed ice skates with their ribbons untied, the motto 'OCIOR EURO' in a banner above. Reverse engraved 'Edinburgh Skating Society' with the name 'Thos. Megget WS, 28th Dec. 1808', height 6cm.Footnotes:The Edinburgh Skating Club which generally met on Duddingston Loch or Lochend, originally styled itself as the 'Skating Society' and was the world's first figure skating organization and one of the very earliest sports clubs. Though no formal records exist before 1778, it was probably established at some time in the 1740's (and was possibly in existence for even a century before then). The Club's motto 'Ocior Euro' ('Swifter Than the East Wind'), a quotation from Horace's Odes, was an expression of the classical learning espoused by many of its members. Another manifestation of the period known as the Scottish Enlightenment, it was egalitarian by nature (though membership conferred certain social advantages). Those who were admitted were drawn from many walks of life and stratas of society. 18th Century Edinburgh saw a proliferation in the establishment of all sorts of social, intellectual and cultural clubs. The Musical Society of Edinburgh, with whom the Edinburgh Skating Club shared forty members, was established in 1728; The Easy Club (also known as the 'Free and Easy Club' in 1712; The Select Society in 1754; The Poker Club in 1762 etc. Members are listed in the Edinburgh Skating Club's records with their profession beside their name (where appropriate); many are gentry, but there are also 'Writers to the Signet' (solicitors), other lawyers, soldiers and surgeons, architects, bankers and merchants. It has been argued, quite plausibly, that skating represented a comprehensive embodiment of enlightenment principals:- members were admitted on merit; had to demonstrate skill to join; gained joy and fellowship through a harmless physical activity; communed with nature and, through practice, attained elegance, agility and poise. They endeavoured to 'skate together in concert'1 and to achieve the improbable feet of moving gracefully across ice at speed (thereby demonstrating man's triumph over the elements). By the mid-19th Century the Club had Royal patronage (firstly Prince Albert in the 1860's and then, after his death, the Prince and Princess of Wales (later Edward VII and Queen Alexandra)).An initial list of thirty-nine members was complied by some amongst their number from memory and recorded in the Club's earliest extant minutes which are dated January 1778. These thirty-nine constitute the earliest known membership and, as they were already participating in the Club's activities, their names were minuted without any date for their admission. Their badges seem to have been undated accordingly (subsequent members were noted down in the minutes with a date for their election and often (though not always) their badges bear a corresponding date). The very first name on the list is 'Commissioner Clark Maxwell' (i.e. Sir George Clerk Maxwell (1715–1784), an enlightened landowner, Commissioner of Customs and a founder member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh). Another member of this exclusive early group of thirty-nine was 'Mr John Balfour, Bookseller' (being John Balfour (1715-1796), a partner in the printing/publishing firm Hamilton, Balfour & Neil and a key member of the18th-Century Scottish Enlightenment book trade). The emergence of this badge engraved for 'Mr Jas Ramsay' confirms the identity of another of the earliest members, which it was only possible for previous authors to speculate on. Ramsay appears as the last name on the first list as 'Mr Ramsay, Slater' (i.e. he ran a business specializing in roofing materials). This left doubt as to his identity and whether he was Alexander Ramsay (d.1787) or James.The National Museums of Scotland hold a handful of undated badges for the following early members: 'Mr Matt. Sandilands' (another on the initial list of thirty-nine members already admitted before 1778); 'Patrick Anderson' (admitted on January 19th 1778); 'James Dewar' [of Vogrie] (admitted on January 1789); and 'Thos. Hogg' (an unrecorded early member, (possibly Thomas Hogg (c.1720-84)) who had possibly ceased to skate before the 1778 list was compiled). A further undated badge for Andrew Bonar appeared at auction in 2012 2 (Bonar was elected to the Club in January 1784).In the early years, members were responsible for sourcing their own badges (sometimes called 'medals') and there is great variation in their appearance. Those belonging to Matthew Sandilands and Thomas Hogg are almost identical (though slightly smaller) to James Ramsay's badge here. All three have the same idiosyncratic spelling of 'Skateing'. A badge with the engraved date of '1792' belonging to 'Jas Home' corresponds to the admission date of Dr James Home (1760-1844) (Professor of Medicine at Edinburgh University). We do not know from where these members obtained their insignia, however, a second badge belonging to James Dewar, also held by National Museums Scotland, has a date of '1801'. This badge has an Edinburgh hallmark and is struck with the maker's mark 'ID' (for the silversmith 'James Dempster'), which may give a clue to a possible maker for the early badges. A similar silver badge dated 1790 for the convivial club known as the 'Helter Skelter Club' (once thought purely to have been a fictitious creation of Sir Walter Scott) bears a 'PR' maker's mark for the Edinburgh silversmith Patrick Robertson, suggesting another possible candidate for the manufacture. It should also be noted that the badge here, along with the other oval badges of the very earliest members, is of an identical form and with highly comparable engraving to the known insignia of the silver members' badges of the 'Free and Easy Club' which also date to the 1770's and 1780's. These were certainly made by the same, as yet unidentified, silversmith.There are two celebrated paintings of Edinburgh Skating Club members from this earliest period: Gilbert Stuart's 'The Skater' (1782) [Fig 1] and 'Rev Walker Skating' (circa 1790's), attributed to Henry Raeburn [Fig 2]. Stuart's 'The Skater' is a portrait of William Grant (1750-1821) who, along with James Ramsay, was one of the pre-1778 members of the Edinburgh Skating Club. Rev Robert Walker (1755-1808) was admitted to the Club in January 1780. Both of these men would have owned similar medals to that here and they would have worn them whilst skating. In the Club's rules (as set out in 1865) any Member who did not wear their 'medal' whilst on the ice or at club meetings, dinners etc was liable to pay a fine of 2s. 6d to the Treasurer.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

EINSTEIN ALBERT: (1879-1955) German-born theoretical physicist, Nobel Prize winner for Physics, 1921. An excellent scientific A.L.S., with his initials A. E., two pages, 4to, n.p., 5th March 1950, to Ernst Gabor Straus, in German, incorporating two lines of calculations. Einstein announces 'Ich stimme mit der Meinung, die Sie in ihrem letzten Briefe geaussert haben, nicht uberein. Es liegt eben doch in der Natur der Suche, dass man verlangen muss, dass alle Tensoren, die durch Kontraktion von…. gewonnen werden konnen verschwinden' (Translation: 'I do not agree with the opinion you expressed in your last letter. It is precisely in the nature of research that one must demand that all the tensors that can be produced by means of the….contraction disappear') and continues to explain, 'Ich bin davon uberzeugt, dass man dies verlangen muss, trotzdem es nun sehr unwahrscheinlich geworden ist, dass es drei zusatzliche Identitaten gibt. Wenn man kompatible Gleichungen im Sinne der Fortsetzbarkeit einer jeden Schnittlosung verlangt, so gibt es mindestens drei formal gleichberechtgte am Variationssystemen gewahrbare, also im gewohnlichen Sinne kompatible Gleichungssysteme, dessen jedes weniger naturlich ist als das starke System, und zwischen denen eine Wahl in vernunftiger Weise nicht getroffen werden kann. Wenn das starke System so wenig Losungen haben sollte, dass die allgemeine Losung durch eine endliche Zahl von Zahlenparametern bestimmt ist, dann kame das starke System als physikalische Theorie naturlich nicht in Betracht. Dann aber ware ich uberzeugt, dass die Theorie des nicht symmetrischen Feldes uberhaupt aufgeben werden musste. Wenn aber die Mannigfaltigkeit der Losungen des starken Systems nicht in solcher Weise beschrankt ist, dann ist die Theorie nach meiner Ansicht sehr aussichtsreich. Denn es ist plausibel, dass das Thatreichliche Feldgesetz in seinen Losungen starker eingeschrankt ist, als es z. B. durch ein Hamilton-Prinzip erreichbar ist' (Translation: 'I am convinced that this should be required, even though it has now become very unlikely that there are three additional identities. If one demands compatible equations in the sense of a possibility of continuity of each cutting solution, then there are at least three formally equal systems of equations perceivable in the variation system, i.e. compatible in the usual sense, each of which is less natural than the strong system, and between which a choice cannot be made in a reasonable way. If the strong system should have so few solutions that the general solution is determined by a finite number of numerical parameters, then the strong system would of course not come into consideration as a physical theory. But then I would be convinced that the theory of the non-symmetrical field had to be abandoned altogether. But if the variety of the solutions of the strong system is not limited in this way, then the theory is, in my opinion, very promising. For it is plausible that the actual law of the field is more severely restricted in its solutions than it is, e.g. B. is achievable by a Hamilton principle) before concluding 'Dies ist durch die Quanten-Thatsachen sehr recht gelegt, die eben zeigen, dass die wahl der "Anfangsbedingungen" weitgehend eingeschrankt sein muss, was bei einem vollstandig durch ein variationsprinzip bestimmten gleichungssystem nicht der fall ist, wo eine erhebliche zahl von willkurlichen funktionen von drei variablen (fur die "Schnittlosung") frei bleibt. Das eigentliche problem liegt also darin, die mannigfaltigkeit der losungen des starken systems herauszufinden, hierein habe ich bis jetzt keinen erfolg gehabt' (Translation: 'This is very well justified by the quantum facts, which show precisely that the choice of "initial conditions" must be largely restricted, which is not the case for a system of equations completely determined by a variational principle, where a considerable number of arbitrary functions of three variables (for the "intersection solution") remains free. So the real problem lies in finding out the multiplicity of the solutions of the strong system, in which I have not had any success up to now'). In a postscript, in which Einstein incorporates his calculations, the physicist states 'In der neuen auflage des buchleins, die bald herauskommt, ist der schnitzer berichtigt. Ich habe mirs aber doch nicht nehmen lassen, zu erwahnen, dass sie den fehler entdeckt haben. Er lasst sich um Einfachsten so charakterisieren (his two lines of calculations inserted at this point) Bei dem andern "Beweis" ist es ganz entspechend' (Translation: 'In the new edition of the little book, which will be published soon, the blunder has been corrected. But I couldn't resist mentioning that it was you who discovered the error. It can be characterised in the simplest way (his two lines of calculations inserted at this point) In the case of the other 'proof', everything matches'). A letter of good association and fine scientific content. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG Ernst Gabor Straus (1922-1983) German-American mathematician, a close associate of Einstein who collaborated with the physicist on their early work on relativity. After publishing his papers on special relativity (1905) and general relativity (1916), Albert Einstein conducted research on quantum physics before working on the generalisation of the relativistic theory of gravitation. Einstein attempted to generalise his theory of gravitation to include electromagnetism as aspects of a single entity. In 1950, he described his 'unified field theory' in an article entitled On the Generalised Theory of Gravitation. Although he was lauded for this work, his efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. Notably, Einstein's unification project did not accommodate the strong and weak nuclear forces, neither of which was well understood until many years after his death. Although mainstream physics long ignored Einstein's approaches to unification, his work has motivated modern quests for a theory of everything.

DOUGLAS-HAMILTON LORD MALCOLM: (1909-1964) Scottish aristocrat, aviator and politician who died during a flying expedition in the heavy equatorial mountainous jungle of Cameroon. A.L.S., Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton, three pages, 8vo, n.p. (London?), 28th June 1952, to [Raymond] Brugere, on the printed stationery of the House of Commons. Douglas-Hamilton thanks his correspondent for their letter and explains his delay in replying, as it was necessary to discuss it with Mrs. Paine, continuing 'I am afraid we shall neither of us be able to come across to Paris as we had hoped on 2nd July, but I am sure you will be able to carry on alright without us' and further commenting 'I think your brochure is excellent; but it is important that the French organisation is identified from the beginning as a separate national organisation, & for that reason it is perhaps best not to stress too much the composition of the British or American organisations in case people should fear this is just an attempt of Americans or British to run this organisation in France. Each national Common Cause although subscribing to the general principle of the maintenance of the Western way of life against Communism (which is after all the maintenance of European civilisation in its many ways) will have a different application & probably composition in each country. Both Mrs. Paine & I feel confident that the new organisation could not for the start be in better hands than yours & the people you choose. We recognise that for the start the “pump will probably have to be primed” & for this purpose we would be glad if you would prepare a budget of initial expenses - month by month from the date when you think of starting & we will endeavour to secure the necessary funds for you'. Together with an autograph draft (unsigned, and possibly incomplete) of Brugere's letter of reply, one page, small 4to, La Riviere, 9th July 1952, in French. A few small pinholes and slight rust stains to the upper left corner of each of the pages, otherwise VG Raymond Brugere (1885-1966) French diplomat. Natalie Paine (1909-2013) American socialite and philanthropist whose fourth husband (from 1953-64) was Lord Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton. In 1947 Paine and her third husband, Edward, had founded the anti-Communist organisation 'Common Cause'. Edward Paine died in 1951 and Natalie continued their work, encouraging a sister organisation in Great Britain which was supported and assisted by Douglas-Hamilton.
