2 American Revolution - (Hartley, David). [Letters on the American War. Addressed to the Right Worshipful the Mayor and Corporation, to the Worshipful the Wardens and Corporation of the Trinity-House, and to the Worthy Burgesses of the Town of Kingston upon Hull, by David Hartley, Esq; Member of Parliament for the Town of Kingston upon Hull, 6th edition(?), London: Printed for Almon, Piccadilly; Kearsly, Fleet Street; Dilly, Poultry; Cruttwell, Bath; and Becket, Bristol, 1779], ii, 126, [2] pp., lacking title, extensively annotated to margins throughout in manuscript by an authoritative hand which largely disagrees with Hartley’s writings, particularly over the disputes over taxation (comprising approximately 1450 words relating to 27 passages in the text), some underlinings and sentences marked for attention, many margins folded, contemporary half calf upper board and part spine attached (lacking rear board. This work appears to have formed the first part of a volume containing various works bound together), armorial bookplate of ‘Kinnaird’ of the Carnegie family of Kinnaird Castle, near Brechin, Scotland, 8vo, together with a complete 6th edition duplicate of the same work, title with signature of Thomas Shute to upper margin, disbound 8vo Sabin 30689; Adams 78-41f. This annotated copy of ‘Letters on the American War’ contains information regarding the history of the United States in its infancy. The annotator appears to be well informed in the unfolding events in America both prior to and during the growing revolt against the taxes imposed by Britain. His writings are critical of some of Hartley’s observations, presenting in many cases a legal challenge. He notes Hartley is conciliatory towards the Americans, and regularly picks him up on points of legality. He progresses through the letters becoming increasingly vexed by what he reads, particularly so on page 58 in Letter 11. The passage in question is “to return to the state of 1763, which therefore implies the taking this thorn out of his side, viz. the Tea Tax” to which he comments “not this Tea Tax alone but the repealing the whole system of American Laws of Taxation. I am convinced the principle of the Act was not the establishing a mere crown revenue as it was done in consequence of repeated complaint from the Govt. & Judges of the uneasiness of the situation respecting salaries”, continuing on page 60 with a response to “On the Tea Act” which accuses Hartley of misrepresenting the intention and purpose of the Tea Act. It is possible the annotator is Andrew Elliot (1728-1797), Governor of New York (1779-1783). The provenance of Kinnaird may be of significance as the wife of the 7th Baron Carnegie of Kinnaird, Sir David Carnegie (1753-1805) was Agnes Murray Elliot, the daughter of Andrew Elliot. Born in Edinburgh, Andrew Elliot moved to Philadelphia in 1747, where he entered a mercantile career. In 1763 he was appointed Receiver General in New York. During the revolution, his loyalty was to his country and he was one of the Commissioners for restoring peace to the Colonies. He was also one of the three persons sent by Sir Henry Clinton to intercede with Washington on behalf of Major Andre. On May 1st 1777 he was appointed head of the Military Court of Police and on 17th July the Superintendent of all imports and exports. In 1780 he appointed Lieut. Governor of the Province of New York, and in 1783 was part of a delegation that met with George Washington. In April 1783 his daughter married David Carnegie in Edinburgh and by the end of the year, Andrew Elliot left America, returning to Scotland where he lived the remainder of his life without obtaining any further public office. In 1790 he declined the offer of the post of British Minister (Ambassador) to the United States. (2) £1,000 - £1,500

Russian of German origin, Langsdorff was then Russian Consul General in Rio de Janeiro and decided to lead an expedition scientiﬁc exploration in the Amazon rainforest by river, accompanied by botanists, entomologists, naturalists, but also artists including Rugendas. At only 19 years old, the young painter explored with them the regions of Sao Paolo and Minas Gerais before withdrawing from the expedition to study the ﬂora and fauna alone, but also the populations encountered in Mato Grosso and Pernambuco. At the request of King Maximilian I of Bavaria, he returned to Europe in 1825, where his work was admired by Alexander von Humboldt who encouraged him to work on the Picturesque Voyage in Brazil. The book was published in French and German in Paris and included 100 lithographs which reproduced works by Rugendas carried out on site. The book notably included scenes showing the realities of slavery in Brazil, a subject which was little discussed at the time. Sold as a collection of plates, not subject to return.

NELSON & THE AGE OF REVOLUTION

18* Nelson (Horatio, 1758-1805), British Admiral during the Napoleonic Wars, the victor of the Battle of Trafalgar, 1805. A good Letter Signed, ‘Horatio Nelson’, New Bond Street, London, 11 November 1797, to James Crow (sic), Nelson announces, ‘I am this day favoured by your transmission to me of the Unanimous Vote of thanks which the Corporation of Norwich have been pleased to Honor me with, and also that they have honoured me with the freedom of their City’ and continues to ask for his gratification to be expressed to the Corporation for ‘enrolling my Name amongst the Honorary Freemen of their ancient and most respectable City’, further thanking Crowe for ‘the very flattering language in which you have conveyed the high Honor wch. the City of Norwich have conferred upon me’, Nelson concluding his letter, ‘Whenever the service which I owe my King and Country will permit of my coming into Norfolk I shall then take the first opportunity of Personally thanking the Corporation of Norwich…’, a few minor, small neat splits at the edges of a couple of folds and with some age toning to the margins, not affecting the text or signature, 1 page with blank integral leaf, folio Provenance: Previously sold by Sotheby’s as lot 220 in their sale of 14 December 1992. James Crowe (c.1750-1807) was a British Surgeon who served as Mayor of Norwich in 1774 & 1797. A fine, bold example of Nelson’s autograph with his left hand, signed just months after his right arm had been amputated. This was an important stage in Nelson’s career, regarded by the military historian Colin White as ‘arguably the most important year of his life - his Year of Destiny’, further observing that ‘It brought him victory, and the popular adulation he craved, at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent against the Spanish in February and disaster, and a crippling wound, when his attack on Tenerife in July was bloodily repulsed. Above all, however, his actions in 1797 established his reputation as one of the leading lights of his profession and led directly to the appointment that was to raise him to the status of national hero in 1798.’ (from Nelson - The New Letters, edited by Colin White, 2005). Having returned to England to convalesce, Nelson moved to London in October 1797 to seek expert medical attention for his amputated arm. He spent the last months of the year slowly recuperating and it was during this time that he was awarded the Freedom of the City of London (as well as Norwich, as demonstrated by the present letter) and a pension of £1000 per annum. During his life time Nelson was voted a Freeman of a number of cities and boroughs including Bath, Salisbury, Exeter, Plymouth, Monmouth, Sandwich, Oxford, Hereford and Worcester, although one imagines that being awarded the Freedom of the City of Norwich, in his home county of Norfolk, would have been considered more significant to him than most others.

He transferred with Nelson to the Foudroyant in June 1799. Comyn served again with Nelson in 1801, ﬁrst in the San Josef, and subsequently in the St. George. He was Rector of St. Mary’s, Bridgham, Norfolk, from 1802 to 1839. Comyn’s monument in the church reads ‘Sacred to the memory of the Reverend Stephen George Comyn, 36 years rector of this parish who died 17th March 1839 aged 73 years. Chaplain to vice-Admiral Lord Nelson, was with him in the Battle of the Nile and at Copenhagen and was presented to the rectory of this parish by the chancellor through the intercession of Lord Nelson’. Nelson wrote to Comyn on the same day as the present letter ‘I send you the Chancellor’s letter, and most sincerely congratulate on your preferment, which to a person who has conducted himself so prudently in pecuniary affairs will make you truly comfortable’, June 24th (Nicolas, Dispatches and Letters of vice-Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson, volume 5, page 19).

26 Collingwood (Admiral Cuthbert, 1748-1810). Autograph letter signed, to His Excellency Lieutenant General Sir Hew Dalrymple, General Officer Commanding, Northern District, and Acting Governor of Gibraltar, on-board H.M.S. Ocean, dated April 25th 1807, handwritten autograph letter in brown ink, written on 4 sides of a single folded sheet, in which Collingwood provides Dalrymple with an update on the general political situation in the Mediterranean, with special reference to the administrations at Tripoli, Algiers, Tunis: ‘some vessels which have spoken with - have said we are possessed of Alexandria - but examining dates, I do not think they could know it - though I hope there is no doubt of the fact. I received Mr Langford’s letter, announcing the pacifick disposition of Tripoli - I believe Algiers will be disposed to peace also - but I doubt Tunis, and my reason is, there has been a constant bickering by Mr [Richard] Oglander the Consul - upon subjects not very important in themselves - and as far as I can judge of them the Bey had the best of the argument - it has been a practice to give a sort of passport to states with whom Tunis is at war - where those are detained by his Corsairs, he refers to his treaty - and finding the Passport not such as should give protection - and the persons captured, not such as should be protected, he keeps them as good prize...; Collingwood provides information on the status in general of consuls and vice consuls: ‘Of the Vice Consuls I do not believe the Ministers take any cognizances - or trouble themselves about this appointment, they are persons who the Consul appoints to assist him - they have no salary from any person - but in Porte where there is a good trade they are brokers - and have fees from the ships & merchants, where there is no trade, as at Oran they make an income by their wits - as Mr. [Thomas] Foley does - ... Mr. Cartwright (the late Consul at Algiers) was recalled, amongst other reasons for condemnations - and exercising the powers of an Admirality Court - and I suppose Foley studied the Consular art under him - I have wrote to Mr. Blanckley to restrain this gentleman in his irregularities and I hope he will as far as he can - the Bey is too much afraid of the Portuguese just now - to do anything which might lessen our friendship to him. Hamut Baggia has wrote to me for Convoy for a Vessel which he is about to load with Gun powder he has sold to the Bey of Tunis - but untill it is known what part the Bey takes - and that he determines to remain neutral - his Gun powder cannot go to him - since the hostilities began in the Archipelago, a detachment of Turkish troops arrived at Tunis - which does not look favourable to Peace’; Collingwood’s substantial letter ends with a reference to Nelson: ‘That Don Antonio, in whose behalf Genl. Cartenas wrote to you - I understand commanded a Privateer which took Pasha(?), and behaved very ill to his prisoners - for which reason I directed him to be sent to England - as I do all privateers men who are taken in the Gib - and the crews of Vessels belonging to Bercelona - untill Mr. Geiner an English Merchant is released from his prison in the Castle of Bercelona, he was residing at Rome before the war - and went it commenced they put him in prison on suspicion of his having corresponded with the fleet - and given Lord Nelson intelligence previous to the war - I applied for his enlargement without affect and have sent a great many Bercelonians - and shall send a great many more, if they do not restore him to liberty.’ Vice Admiral Collingwood was made Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Fleet following the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, and was tasked with blockading ports to prevent French naval and merchant activity, from 16 May 1806, serving aboard HMS Ocean, a 98 gun ship of the line. Napoleon responded with the Continental System in November 1806, which attempted to enforce a European trade embargo against Britain to try and weaken her economically. This largely failed as Britain succeeded in smuggling in goods via Spain and Russia (both of which were to be invaded by Napoleon), and developed new markets in the Americas with the support and protection of the British Navy, generally dominant in the Atlantic. Sir Hew Dalrymple (1750-1830) saw action in the 1793 Flanders Campaign against Revolutionary France, was made a Lieutenant-General in 1801 before transferring to Gibraltar in 1806 to serve under General Henry Fox, and was appointed acting Governor of Gibraltar from November 1806 to August 1808.

Wellington fulminates against the Patriarch of Lisbon and the disturbing reluctance of the Portuguese command to share the costs of arming the allies’ defensive lines: ‘The Patriarch’s speech … places the Patriarch’s conduct in such a light that he will tremble when he shall see the lamp post … I think also … that I see in these new claims, of [Colonel] Fava and [General] Rosa, for payment for the work done by their departments respectively, that spirit of anti-Anglican party which I am convinced is encouraged at Lisbon … [I]f the anti-Anglican party is not suppressed, that I shall recommend to Government either to suppress it … or to withdraw their army’. Wellington’s twelve-line ﬁnal paragraph, containing a personal attack on Admiral Berkeley, is entirely omitted from Gurwood’s edition of Wellington’s dispatches and consequently unpublished: ‘I don’t know what I shall do with the Admiral ... Every concern in which water forms an ingredient (whether fresh or salt) he not only interferes in, but makes his business exclusively [...]’. (2) £300 - £500

Wellington provides a detailed and unanswerable critique of the Portuguese postal system before and after the French invasion, deploying his common theme of British interests exploited by Portuguese venality and incompetence: ‘When the British Govt sent an army to this country to aid in its defence, and gave Portugal a subsidy, it did not contemplate the possibility that it was not to have the use of the ordinary establishments of the country, or that the expense of the maintenance of the establishments was to be paid out of the military chest, while all the proﬁts from them were to go to the Portugese Govt [...]’. Sir Charles Stuart undertook intelligence gathering with the provincial juntas in French-occupied Spain (1808-10) and afterwards ‘made himself indispensable to Wellington’ as minister at Lisbon (1810-14) and member of the Portuguese regency council. He later helped negotiate the treaty by which Brazil became independent from Portugal. (1) £200 - £300

A highly important Typed Letter Signed, ‘Edward’, Boulevard Suchet, Paris, 13 March 1939, to Lord Beaverbrook (‘My dear Beaverbrook’), the Duke announces ‘I feel it both important and urgent to draw your attention to the comments on the Duchess and myself which appeared in the Londoner’s Log of yesterday’s issue of the “Sunday Express”’, and adds that while he appreciates the general tone of the article, it contained two definite misstatements which ‘confuse the whole situation’, further explaining ‘Knowing that it is not your intention that anything published in your newspapers should create a false impression which could react adversely upon the Duchess and myself, I think that you may wish to dispel the one created in yesterday’s Sunday Express, as soon as and in whatever form you judge to be consistent with “good timing” and dignity’; the Duke continues ‘Of course you know as well as I do, that it is for no other reason than for fear lest the attitude my mother and sister-in-law seem likely to adopt towards my wife may provoke some controversy in England and adverse criticism of them in America, that I have been advised to postpone our projected visit to England this Spring, until after the King and Queen’s official journey to Canada and the United States. In accordance with the policy of playing my brother’s game, I have agreed to another postponement, but, believe me, for the last time’; he concludes ‘I know I need not stress the highly confidential nature of this letter, or the grave danger of the information it contains ever being traced back to me. But as I look upon you as one of our staunchest supportest (sic) I am anxious that you should know the truth’, with four holograph additions to the text, 2 pages on two leaves of the Duke’s personal monogrammed stationery, typed ‘Private and Confidential’ at head, very light paperclip rust stain to the upper left corner of the first page, two file holes to left margin not affecting text or signature, 4to, together with An accompanying enclosure, being a typescript of the two misstatements contained in The Londoner’s Log of the Sunday Express which the Duke refers to in his letter, light toning, two file holes to left margin matching the Duke’s letter where previously filed, one page, 4to, with the Duke’s responses, in full: ‘1. “He lives as a refugee in France not because of the laws of England prevent his return, but because he wishes to do so”. While the Duchess and I have received the greatest courtesy in all the countries, especially France, where we have resided since our marriage, I have not lived out of England for over two years by preference. It is true that there exists no law to prevent my returning to my country whenever I wish to do so, but I have remained away out of deference to my brother in order to leave the field clear for him to establish himself on the throne, which it is admitted he has succeeded in doing. 2. “The Duke has set his own conditions of return. He requires that the Duchess of Windsor shall be accorded the title of Royal Highness, and that she shall be received by both the Queens. Until these requests are granted, the Duke has announced that he will not set foot in England”. I have never made any such announcement nor would I ever set conditions upon my return to England. Regarding the two stipulations I am alledged (sic) to have made, I wish to say firstly, that while naturally the matter of witholding (sic) the title of Royal Highness from the Duchess is an insult which I as her husband and a member of the Royal Family have always resented far more deeply than she has, we have too many other more important interests to worry over such a triviality. Secondly, whatever may be the behaviour of Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth towards the Duchess, it would in no way affect any plans we might make for going to England.’ A letter of truly remarkable historical content written in the years following King Edward VIII’s abdication and subsequent marriage to Wallis Simpson, and demonstrating that the Duke was under absolutely no illusions as to the attitudes of his mother, Queen Mary, and sister-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, towards the Duchess of Windsor.

143* Abdication of Edward VIII. An important and historical Autograph Letter Signed, ‘Sam’, from Samuel Hoare, (1880-1959, First Lord of the Admiralty 1936-37 and Home Secretary 1937-39), Admiralty House, 10 December [1936], to Lord Beaverbrook (‘Dear Max’), written on the day that King Edward VIII signed the Instrument of Abdication, Hoare announces ‘I have not telephoned or come round today or yesterday as I was, on your advice, sitting back in the final acts of this tragic farce’ and continues ‘It was clear to me yesterday that the denouement was inevitable. I tried my best to the end to make renunciation possible, but the King would not move an inch. To what depths can folly descend!’ Hoare further states ‘In any case I am glad and grateful that another crisis brought us together again. It is almost a year to a day since my resignation. The first friendly word from outside came from you. I never forget these things nor shall I forget our talks of the last fortnight, and your manifest wish to help me in my career’, marked ‘Personal’ at head, short clean, marginal split to right edge of central fold only very slightly affecting one word of text, 2 pages, 4to A letter of interesting content written on a pivotal day in the history of the British monarchy. Max Aitken (1879-1964), 1st Baron Beaverbrook. Anglo-Canadian business tycoon, politician & writer, owner of the Daily Express and London Evening Standard newspapers. In June 1936 Hoare became First Lord of the Admiralty and in November 1936 he was (with Duff Cooper, the then Secretary of State for War) sought out by Edward VIII to provide independent advice and counsel on the King’s constitutional problems. Initially the King attempted to convert him into a champion of his cause hoping that Hoare would speak up in defence of his right to marry when the matter came up for formal discussion in the Cabinet. In the King’s memoirs A King’s Story (1951) he recounted this first meeting, ‘But I failed to win him as an advocate. He was sympathetic; but he also was acutely conscious of the political realities. Mr. Baldwin, he warned me, was in command of the situation: the senior Ministers were solidly with him on this issue. If I were to press my marriage project on the Cabinet I should meet a stone wall of opposition. I saw Mr. Duff Cooper at the Palace later the same day … He was as encouraging and optimistic as Sam Hoare had been pessimistic and discouraging.’ Hoare’s second meeting with the King took place at the end of November, about which the King wrote, ‘At this juncture, the scene shifted momentarily to Stornoway House where Max Beaverbrook, ever since his return from America, had worked feverishly to rally support for me in whatever quarters it might be found.....Mr. Baldwin was aware of what Max Beaverbrook was up to; and no doubt hoping to check the forces beginning to rally round my cause, he despatched Sir Samuel Hoare on Sunday, the 29th, to explain the attitude of the Government towards the King. The message which the First Lord of the Admiralty bore was ominous indeed. It was that the Ministers stood with Mr. Baldwin—-”no breach exists: there is no light or leaning in the King’s direction.” Then the First Lord fired his second salvo. “The publicity,” he said, “is about to break.” Many Ministers, he added, were restless and dissatisfied over the failure of the Press to publish facts of a crisis already the talk of the rest of the world. He stressed Mr. Baldwin’s desire that the Press, like the Cabinet, should form an unbroken front against the proposed marriage. It was an undisguised invitation for Max Beaverbrook to change sides. His answer was: “I have already taken the King’s shilling, I am a King’s man.”’ On 4th December the King learned of an earlier meeting between Beaverbrook and Hoare, of which he commented, ‘So the day had not been all debits as far as I was concerned. From Stornoway House Max Beaverbrook, sensing the favourable upsurge in public opinion, had steadily hammered away on the theme of delay. I must not allow myself, he urged, to be harried and hurried into precipitous action. He had seen Sir Samuel Hoare again, and in conversation with him had formed the impression that many Ministers were troubled by the turn the crisis had taken, and would welcome a withdrawal of my request for advice on the morganatic marriage proposal. But I was wearied to the point of exhaustion.’ Finally during the morning of 10th December 1936 (the day Hoare wrote the present letter to Beaverbrook) the King signed the Instrument of Abdication.

Elmore, of course, had already been murdered just a few days earlier, on 31 January 1910, by her husband, Dr Crippen, who had proceeded to hide parts of her dismembered body in the cellar of their home.

158* Jenner (Edward, 1749-1823), English physician and scientist who pioneered the concept of vaccines. A George III silver snuff box by IB, Birmingham 1795, the rectangular box with engine turned decoration, the hinged lid enclosing gilded interior, the inner lid contemporarily engraved ‘Edward Jenner to Thomas Croome.’, 27mm high x 85mm wide x 45mm deep, approximately 91g A rare Edward Jenner association item, even if the identity of the recipient has not been ﬁrmly established. The most favoured candidate is Thomas Croome (1796-1840), one of whose sisters, Mary (1779-1865), or Ann (1789-1849), was a god-daughter to Jenner and whose older brother, Robert (1794-1876), appears to have been a pupil and friend of Jenner. Robert lived and practised as a surgeon in Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire, where he also gave smallpox vaccinations. These siblings were the children of William (1745-1811) and Sally (1751-1743) Croome of Berkeley, Gloucestershire, where Jenner himself lived and practised. If this Thomas Croome is the right attribution then it is likely that the snuff box would have been engraved and gifted in Jenner’s later years when Thomas was an adult. Another Jenner artefact from this Croome family is known. ‘Dr Jenner’s chair’ was purchased at the 1823 sale of his furniture by one of Robert and Thomas’s sisters and given to Robert. This chair remained in the Croome family until it was sold with other family effects in September 1900 and bought by E. B. Tylor, Keeper of the University Museum, Oxford, who in turn gave it to the Museum’s medical department. From there it was transferred to the Museum of the History of Science in 1949 (inventory no. 17096). It is probable that both Thomas and Robert had some involvement in the proposals and planning for the erection of a memorial statue to Jenner in Gloucester Cathedral [sculpted by R.W. Sievier, 1825]; see Wellcome Library MS1180/3014/3014/5241, items 3 & 5: letters to the committee secretary, the surgeon Henry Jones Shrapnell (1792-1834). Another less likely, and older, candidate is a gentleman, Thomas Croome (1769-1839) of Randwick, Gloucestershire, who bought the Manor of Painswick, Gloucestershire, in 1804. This Thomas Croome married Elizabeth Clutterbuck (1767-1827) at Randwick, in 1801. However, no direct connection between this Thomas Croome and Jenner has been ascertained. What is certain is that the family name of Croome is common in Berkeley and throughout Gloucestershire and it is quite possible Edward Jenner knew more than one Thomas Croome. (1) £1,500 - £2,000

And I am always under the impression that the woman who appeals most to a man is one who may be full of courage and determination but who in everything she undertakes and in all her actions is essentially feminine. I do not think that Boxing is in the least feminine, and, therefore, it goes without saying that anything that is calculated to make a woman masculine must be to the detriment of a woman herself, and somehow there is, to my mind, something repulsive about seeing, or even thinking of, a woman boxing’, with a few further comments and also adding that Foils is, on the other hand, a good sport for some women, a few pencil marks and corrections, a little spotting and soiling, 2 pages on 2 leaves, 4to, the second letter in response to whether ladies should play football, to which he replies, ‘I have not the slightest hesitation in saying that I think that one game ladies ought not to play is certainly Foot-ball. It is not a game for women. There is nothing so splendid as a well setup, active Englishwoman, and there are many games in which she can compete with man, and almost on equal terms, but Foot-ball is certainly not one of those which is conducive to either the interest of the woman or to civilisation. Foot-ball is essentially a masculine game... it would be an impossibility to recognise Football matches woman against men, which is an impossibility, as must be known to all Foot-ball players as well as it is known to myself’, a little spotting and marginal browning, one page, 4to

But I feel I must just tell you how much I personally feel the loss & how we all feel for you’, further praising the deceased’s qualities, ‘He had the power of winning the confidence & affection of younger men – I think by the unaffected simplicity & nobility of his character’, and also recalling a famous speech by Asquith about Alfred Lyttelton, (1857-1913, British politician and sportsman), ‘in which he said that A.L. was what every father hoped his son to be.

The smoking of tobacco can do no one any good at any time, on the contrary, its effects are always injurious to some extent. It may be quite possible for a man to get on fairly well with his work if he only has to divide his attention with a cigarette or a small cigar but if he uses a big black wooden pipe he has quite enough to do physically and mentally without attempting any other business.

I had a look round the museum, which is very well arranged. I was particularly fascinated by the Maori bit having read Peter Buck’s “Coming of the Maori”. There do not appear to be any Maori’s (sic) of his calibre at the moment and the result is that the growing Maori population is growing up without proper leadership. The New Zealanders appear to regard them somewhere between museum pieces and domestic pets. There seems to be no official policy for them which is at all enlightened. For instance they quite rightly insist on all N. Zealanders & Maoris doing their military service together but they have disbanded the Maori Battalion which with it’s (sic) magnificent record might have been a tremendous influence for the good and a means of keeping Maori pride alive… I saw something of the Cawthorn Institute at Nelson… they were getting a bit scared of wholesale parasitic control of pests… Their favourite nightmare is that the gorse weevil, which lays it’s (sic) eggs in the seed pods, has taken a liking to laying it’s (sic) eggs in peapods!!… New Zealand on the whole struck me as over-governed with not much room for initiative – the perfect welfare state in fact! The people were universally charming and on the whole most considerate. Their press is serious-minded and appears to have a sense of responsibility. We are still in the heat and battle of Australia so that my opinions are rather fluctuating. Industry and agriculture are impressive but it won’t be for lack of trying if they become an entirely industrial country in the next 50 years… Their press and politics are quite unbelievable and the inter-state jealousy and state v. federal animosity has to be seen to be believed. Of course the Federal constitution is quite crazy and should never have been accepted in the present form… They also seem to have a genius for getting worked up about trifles while really important issues are fairly stinking under their very noses… Their hospitals and repatriation hospitals are remarkable… their scientific research is also in a very good state. I was shown various aspects of virus research which were most interesting…’, 11 pages on separate sheets, 8vo

He worked to improve working conditions in the mines and factories before being appointed Commissioner of Immigration at the Canadian-American border in 1898 and in 1905 Commissioner of Immigration at the Port of New York, headquartered at Ellis Island. He was a tireless campaigner to prevent immigrant abuses and exploitation, and his policy was ‘Objection to entry into the United States should be made solely on the ground of personal or individual inadmissibility, and never on the basis of nationality, race or creed.’ He later went on to become a successful businessman, owning Watchorn Petroleum and Alma Oil, before retiring to Redlands in California, and partly as a result of his staunch Methodism became a major philanthropic donator to churches and charities in the US and UK.

Hobbes’ masterpiece of political theory formed on the experience of the English Civil War, in which the State is seen as an artiﬁcial monster to which individuals submit for their own survival. “This book produced a fermentation in English thought not surpassed until the advent of Darwinism. Its importance may be gauged by the long list of assailants it aroused. It was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum 7 May 1703, though all Hobbes’s works had previously been condemned in toto, and it still remains a model of vigorous exposition, unsurpassed in the language” (Pforzheimer).

Further reading: Shesgreen, ‘The Editions, Imitations, and the Influence of Marcellus Laroon’s “Cryes of the City of London”’, Studies in Bibliography Vol. 35 (1982), pp. 258-271. The 61 plates without numerals, including with the title-page, are from one of the editions by original publisher Pierce Tempest, who according to the Term Catalogues first issued a work titled ‘The Crys of London … engraved upon forty Copper-Plates’ in Michaelmas 1687. It was quickly expanded: a notice in the Term Catalogues for Michaelmas 1688 announces ‘There is now completely Finished, the Cryes and Habits of London … upon seventy-two Copper-plates’; by Trinity 1689 the work is advertised as containing ‘74 Copper-Plates’. The last known edition of Laroon’s Cryes to be published by Pierce Tempest appeared in 1709 (Shesgreen, p. 261). The plates then passed from Tempest to Henry Overton the elder (1676-1751). The date of Overton’s edition is unknown but has been conjectured as 1711 (Beall), or as late as 1731 or 1733. Overton added numerals the lower right corner of each plate, and added his imprint and the phrase ‘In 74 Copper Plates’ to the title-page. In c.1760 the plates passed to Robert Sayer. His plates are completely reworked from the Tempest/Overton versions, with the costumes updated, numerals moved to the upper corners, and ‘Mauron delin./pinx.’ and ‘P. Tempest exc.’ removed.

However, the latter had ﬁrst been issued in 1570 and had already built a commanding market presence, and so despite de Jode’s longer standing reputation the atlas did not sell very well. Only a dozen or so examples have survived. Undeterred, he made plans for another expanded edition, and upon his death in 1591 it was taken on by his son Cornelis. The Speculum Orbis Terrae of 1592 likewise did not sell well and was never reissued. Although more examples than the ﬁrst edition have survived, it too is very scarce. Many of de Jode’s maps are judged to be superior to those of Ortelius, both in detail and style.” (Burden) (1) £600 - £900

A note in the legend at lower right states: ‘the area of Chinese territory on this sheet is compiled from material of doubtful value, but is probably a fair general representation of the country.’ Although Japan had surrendered in 1945 and the British reclaimed their territory two weeks later, it took until 1949 for the British Government to make a ﬁrm decision not to abandon Hong Kong to the Chinese Communists. It had substantially strengthened the garrison to serve as an anti-communist deterrent, but its primary aim was to subdue internal security threats and reassure both the resident British and Hong Kong Chinese residents and bring some much-needed security and stability to the region. Chinese forces had massed on the New Territories border in October of 1949, but there was a degree of posturing and sabre-rattling in this show of strength and they would eventually withdraw.

Originally published in the ‘Speculum Orbis Terrarum’ and this state is only found in the first edition of the atlas. The atlas aimed at competing with the Theatrum of Ortelius. However, the latter had first been issued in 1570 and had already built a commanding market presence, and so despite de Jode’s long standing reputation the atlas did not sell very well. Only a dozen or so examples have survived. Undeterred, he made plans for another expanded edition, and upon his death in 1591 it was taken on by his son Cornelis. The Speculum Orbis Terrae of 1592 likewise did not sell well and was never reissued. Although more examples than the first edition have survived, it too is very scarce. Many of de Jode’s maps are judged to be superior to those of Ortelius, both in detail and style. (Burden) (1) £600 - £900

THE DAVID SMITH PRINT COLLECTION PART II: CIVIL ENGINEERING, TRANSPORT & TOPOGRAPHICAL PANORAMAS David Smith has worked as a structural engineer based in London for the past 50 years, during which time he has assembled a remarkable collection of rare and unusual antique prints covering his areas of personal interest. The main focus of his collection is early topographical views and panoramas, railways and steamships, as well as bridges, ports, buildings and construction. A further portion of his substantial collection will be offered by Dominic Winter Auctioneers in December 2020. 542* Ahrens (L.W., printers). Highland Bridge, Peekskill, N.Y., now being built across the Hudson River on the line of the Hudson Suspension Bridge & New England Railway, circa 1900, chromolithograph on smooth wove (possibly cleaned), 380 x 590mm (sheet size 550 x 715mm), mounted Plans to build a bridge over the Hudson River at the site between Fort Clinton and Anthony’s Nose had been made as early as 1868. A contract was signed the following year and construction was expected to commence rapidly on the Hudson Highland Suspension Bridge. The purpose of the bridge was to provide a railroad toward Derby, Connecticut, enabling the supply of coal and iron for industry in the Lower Naugatuck Valley. By 1887 reports suggested the bridge would be finished in two years, but by 1896 it had not been completed, at a time when the Hudson Highland Bridge and Railway Company filed for incorporation (being a reorganization of the former Hudson Suspension Bridge and New England Railway Company). As a result of the long depressions, including stock market crashes of 1873 and 1893, the bridge remained unfinished and the charter for construction expired in 1916. In March 1922, the state authorized the creation of the Bear Mountain Hudson River Bridge Company to complete the project. The bridge was opened on November 27, 1924, and was the longest suspension bridge span in the world at the time. (1) £200 - £300

Engineers and patent screw jack manufacturers. During the Great Exhibition of 1851 he had two items on display. Exhibit No 484 was a Patent Traversing Screw Jack ‘for raising and moving heavy bodies, both vertically and laterally’. Exhibit No 509 was one of George’s standard 2-2-2 tank locomotives, also named Little England, ‘intended to reduce locomotive expenses in proportion to the amount of traffic. It has been proved that this engine is capable of working express trains of six first class carriages at a speed of 60 miles per hour consuming only 8lbs of coke per mile’. A blue flag bearing the legend ‘Speed, Safety and Economy’ in gilt letters was suspended over the engine. The jury were impressed, and awarded a Gold Medal, praising the engine’s ‘ingenious arrangement and good workmanship’. The firm also exhibited in Paris in 1855 and at the second International Exhibition in London in 1862. During the 1860’s George England’s firm built a number of locomotives for the famous Festiniog Railway. (1) £150 - £200

Lot 545

The Chain Pier was designed by Captain Samuel Brown and built in 1823. The pier was primarily intended as a landing stage for packet boats to Dieppe, but it also featured a small number of attractions including a camera obscura. An esplanade with an entrance toll-booth controlled access to the pier which is clearly shown in the engraving. The Chain Pier co-existed with the later West Pier, but a condition to build the new Brighton Palace Pier was that the builders would dismantle the Chain Pier. They were saved this task by a storm which destroyed the already closed and decrepit pier on 4th December 1896. The remains of some of the pier’s oak piles can still be seen at low spring tides. The entrance kiosks survived and are now used as small shops on the Palace Pier. (2) £100 - £150

The SS Great Britain was at the time of construction the largest, longest and ﬁrst iron-hulled, screw-propelled ship in the world. Taking over four years to build by local shipbuilder William Patterson, and overseen by Isambard Kingdom Brunel as Project Engineer. She was launched by Prince Albert on 19 July 1843. The Great Britain’s innovative design successfully combined steam and sail power, making her swift and fuel efﬁcient, which enabled her to cross the Atlantic transporting passengers between Liverpool and New York City in half the time of other ships of the day.

At its largest extent, it filled a 56-acre site north of Woolwich Church Street, between Warspite Road and New Ferry Approach. By the 19th-century naval vessels were too large to be accommodated or built within the confines of the yard and it eventually closed in 1869 (though a large part of the site remained in military hands for a further century). The former dockyard area is now partly residential, partly industrial, with remnants of its historic past having been restored. This engraving was made just before the yard enjoyed a resurgence in importance and output because of the Napoleonic Wars. (1) £200 - £300

The corporation originally intended to construct a cast-iron bridge, and an architectural competition had been held with a 100 guineas prize where the architect John Burges Watson was the winner. However, concerns over the rising cost of iron led to the abandonment of the scheme, and as a consequence, it was decided to build a classical style stone bridge from a design by the county surveyor Edward Lapidge. The ﬁrst stone was laid by the Earl of Liverpool at a ceremony on 7 November 1825 and the bridge was opened by the Duchess of Clarence (the future Queen Adelaide) on 17 July 1828. (1) £200 - £300

The iron sailing steamship SS Great Eastern was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel who affectionately knew her as the “Great Babe”. She was built by J. Scott Russell & Co. at Millwall Iron Works on the River Thames, London. The ship had the capacity to carry 4000 passengers from England to Australia without the need to refuel and was launched on 31st January 1858. At the time she was the largest ship ever built, with a length of 692 feet (211 m) and was only surpassed in 1899 by the 705-foot (215 m) 17,274gross-ton RMS Oceanic, her gross tonnage of 18,915 was only surpassed in 1901 by the 701-foot (214 m) 21,035-gross-ton RMS Celtic, and her 4,000passenger capacity was surpassed in 1913 by the 4,935-passenger SS Imperator. The SS Great Eastern was built with five funnels which were later reduced to four and also had the largest set of paddle wheels. During her maiden voyage on 9 September, the ship had just passed Hastings when there was a huge explosion, the forward deck blowing apart with enough force to throw the No. 1 funnel into the air, followed by a rush of escaping steam. Five stokers died from scalding, while four or five others were badly injured and one had leapt overboard and was lost. The accident was caused by a feedwater heater’s steam exhaust having been closed. After repair, she served for several years as a passenger liner between Britain and North America before being converted to a cable-laying ship and laying the first lasting transatlantic telegraph cable in 1866. She finished her life as a floating music hall and advertising hoarding (for the department store Lewis’s) in Liverpool and was finally broken up on Merseyside in 1889. (1) £200 - £300

H. M. Geyser was laid down in August 1840 and launched on 6 April 1841. She was 180 feet long on the gundeck and displaced 1,590 tons. Power for her paddles came from a Seaward & Capel 2-cylinder direct-acting steam engine developing 280 horsepower. She was commissioned for the ﬁrst time at Sheerness on 8 March 1842. She served in the Mediterranean and the Levant in 1846 and in 1848 she was sent to the Cape of Good Hope and on 16 February 1850, she rescued the survivors of the barque Childe Harold, a passenger ship homeward bound from Australia. Childe Harold had struck the south-east point of Dassen Island on the West Coast of South Africa. The only fatality was the Master, James Byres, who drowned while attempting to swim ashore with a line. She spent much of 1851 conducting anti-slavery patrols off the coast of Brazil and on the 11th February 1851 she captured the slave brig, Mangano, in the vicinity of Rio de Janeiro. She was present at the Fleet Review at Spithead on 23 April 1856, and in 1857 was at Simon’s Town in South Africa for patrols off the East Coast of Africa. On 23rd June 1860, she was recommissioned at Devonport for service on the Home Station as a storeship. She was driven against the quayside in a gale at Plymouth on 14th January 1865 and was damaged. She was broken up the following year. (1) £150 - £200

An uncommon pair showing a ‘before & after’ view of the bridge whilst under construction and after completion. The bridge was built between 1793 and 1796. It was considered a revolutionary structure because of the size of the single span - 236 foot long - and its use of iron. This was crucial because an iron arch was estimated to be 15 times lighter than a stone arch of a similar size and meant that for the ﬁrst time an elegant single arched bridge was an architectural possibility. It was planned by Rowland Burdon and cast at Walker’s of Rotherham under the control of Thomas Wilson. It was only the second iron bridge built after the famous span at Ironbridge but was over twice as long and only three-quarters the weight, and at the time of building, it was the biggest single-span bridge in the world.

Lot 594

The Sankey Viaduct is a railway viaduct in North West England and has been described as the earliest major railway viaduct in the world. In 1826, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company (L&MR) was authorised to construct the world’s first intercity railway. One obstacle on the selected 50 km route between Liverpool and Manchester was the Sankey Valley. The company’s principal engineer, George Stephenson, designed the Sankey Viaduct for the double-track railway to traverse the valley and Sankey Canal with sufficient clearance for the masts and sails of the Mersey flats that used the canal. The viaduct was built between 1828 and 1830, although work on the structure did not finish until the middle of 1833. On 15 September 1830, the viaduct was opened along with the Liverpool & Manchester railway. (2) £200 - £300

(c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
