Superb pair of Cabinet photos by Hughes & Mullins, both signed, showing the couple in Mediaeval costume, 6” x
4¼” n.p., n.d. c. 1890 [SD15699]£500
The practice of the Household performing tableaux vivants over the New Year was revived some time after the death of the Prince
Consort. There were normally several scenes, each representing a letter or word, followed by a final scene depicting the entire word.
The Tableaux often reproduced paintings - a particularly successful one being ‘La Rixe’ (The Brawl) after the painting by E.
Meissonier which had been given to the Prince Consort in 1856. The scene was a quarrel in a tavern which Queen Victoria considered
‘a truthful presentation of the picture’. They were not always so well received - a biblical tableau of Naomi and Ruth in 1888 was
described by the Queen as ‘not quite so successful as it might have been, owing to the ladies getting the giggles and shaking’. The
Tableaux Vivant photo is an unusual form of photography, which Queen Victoria had a passion for from the 1850s. This is one of the
later ones which are more difficult to find as the majority of them have remained in Royal Collections.
Princesses Helena Victoria and Marie Louise spent much of their year revolved around the Queen, which dates the picture to 1889 as
the Princess Marie Louise was married to a German Prince the following year. The marriage did not prove happy and the Queen sent
her anopentelegram ordering her ‘home to me’.

confined by the Act of Queen Elizabeth, 1 side folio, n.p., 3rd January 1627/8 [SD26562]£1,750
Charles succeeded to the throne on 27 March 1625. As a conciliatory move at thebeginning of his reign he announced his intention of
putting the laws against recusants into execution, thereby abandoning his promise to the king of France. It is therefore surprising to
find this license to a convicted Recusant

DOMINION OF THE SEAS
27. CHARLES I (1600-1649, King of Great Britain)
Fine Silver Medallion Commemorating the Launch of HMS “Sovereign of the Seas,” with a portrait bust of Charles I on
the obverse“CAROLUS.I.D.G.MAG.BRITANN.FRAN.ET.HIB.REX .”onthereversetheshipinfullsail
“NEC .META . MIHI . QVE . TERMINUS . ORBIT .” - My boundaries are the ends of the earth, 2¼ inches cast in
silver by the Royal Mint 1638 [SD21968]£1,750
HMS “Sovereign of the Seas” later “Sovereign” and “Royal Sovereign”, in service from 1638 until 1696, was the greatest, most
powerful and extravagent warship of the 17th century. A 40 gun fighting ship in that age cost about £6000, the “Sovereign of the Seas”
was reputed to have cost £60,000. It was conceived by Charles himself, who ignoring the opposition from Trinity House, appointed
Phineas Pett, Master Builder to the Navy, to build the ship according to his ideas. Richard Hough in Fighting Ships, opines that this
most modern and magnificent vessel was “criminal extravagence” and one of the reasons Charles I lost his head ! Pett designed this
revolutionary vessel which was built at Woolwich under the supervision of his son Peter, between 1635 & 1637. It boasted a fire
power of 104 guns, Pett wrote in his journal “She hath three flush deckes and a forecastle, an halfe decke, a quarter-decke, and a round
house. Here lower tyre hath thirty ports, which are furnished with demi-cannon and whole cannon.” Such power gave her the
supremecy of the English Channel. The King had long wanted an advantage over the Dutch, who had been troublesome over a
number of years. The clear passage gave English Merchant Ships a chance to compete in the trade with East Africa and the East
Indies.
It was rebuilt during the Commonwealth when it was renamed “Sovereign” and again in 1660 when it was renamed “Royal
Sovereign”, commemorating the Restoration of the Monarchy.
Theship took part in many battles with the Dutch and French and remained undefeated. Sadly she came to an ignominious end in 1696
at Chatham, when a careless sailor left a candle unchecked in his cabin, and she was destroyed by fire. Had she survived, she would
not have been obsolete in terms of fire power and size, at the Battle of the Nile over a century later.
At the launch of “The Sovereign of the Seas” King Charles ordered the Master of the Royal Mint to produce a commemorative medal
to be known as “The Dominion of the Seas Medal”. A few were first struck in silver but because of its size technical problems caused
the rest, like this one, to be cast.
28. CHARLOTTE (Queen, 1744-1818, née Princess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, wife of George III)
ALS to her Lord Chamberlain, the 16th Earl of Morton, (1761-1827), asking him to send two letters “to Monsieur Nagel

The alleged discovery of Oates’s Popish Plot had taken place in August of this year. The King involved himself as little as possible
with the condemnation of the five Jesuits and distanced himself from other atrocities resulting from the public panic, being aware that
the frenzy was fired by a desire on the part of Shaftesbury and his cohorts to exclude the Duke of York from succession.

and his chief, William Windham, when “in Office: their retirement from which, had been an evil of such serious moment, to myself as
well as the Country” (12th February, 1808). In the second, he commends Cockburn to Villettes’ attention in the strongest terms and
“as a mark of personal friendship ... the more so as I ... first brought you together”, thanking him too for “your ... present of a Sabre”
and “the ... affectionate manner, in which you were so good as to express yourself” (14th February 1808).

Theleasecontinues that granted to Christopher Wren, junior, 1675-1747, on 21st January 1738 to run for 28½ years from 1758 at £10

Afascinating sideline on the famous Blockade (Orders in Council) of 1807 in answer to Napoleon’s of 1806. Both were ‘paper
blockades’, not permanently maintained by investing forces, but still having a great effect on trade. The present document shows how
the British could still ship selected goods under ‘neutral’ flags or the flags of France’s allies including Prussia, half of which had been
annexed by Napoleon. What Napoleon thought of this was a different matter. Meanwhile America was picking up much of Great
Britain’s carrying trade, a main cause of the war of 1812.

Louise and the Prince were married in 1774 and they lived in Rome, then Florence, but were legally separated in 1784. After the
Prince’s death she kept court in Florence, accompanied by the poet Alfieri (d. 1803), with nightly receptions for men of science and
letters in her house on the Lung’arno.
Consalvi (1757-1824, Pius VII’s ‘Prime Minister’), was an old friend. He attracted the notice of Louise’s brother-in-law, Cardinal
York, when a pupil at the college founded by him at Frascati. A moderate traditionalist, he helped preserve the Papacy through the
Napoleonic period, while rooting out many ancient abuses.

terribly depressed tho’ it has never kept her from doing her work ... there are days when such faithful, devoted &

Russian diplomacy. He rendered great service to Russia at the
Congress of Vienna, and prepared the way for the Congressional
Duchy of Warsaw. When the Polish insurrection broke out in
1830, he came out of retirement and in 1831 was elected head of
the provisional Government. He sacrificed half his fortune to the
national cause. At the end of the war he emigrated to France,

Andreev’s talent was ironic and pessimistic, his writing part
realist, part symbolic. Attracted at first to Maxim Gorky, he found
he was on the side of revolution, but not of revolutionaries, and
protested at their excesses. Inclined to theatricality, he was roused
to genuine fervour by the 1914 war (“The sorrows of Belgium”),
and by the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks, (“Russia’s call to
humanity: S.O.S. - an appeal to the Allies”).

Asimov began contributing stories to science fiction magazines in
1939 and in 1950 published his first book, ‘Pebble in the Sky’.
He had taken his Ph.D. at Columbia in 1947, and then joined the
faculty of Boston University. From 1958 onwards his
professorship was nominal, without salary or duties, as he devoted
himself to highly successful and lucid works of popularization and
science fiction.
Shasta Publications had reprinted Asimov’s ‘No Connections’ in
their ‘Best Science-Fiction of 1948’.

Mull, 22nd August 1888, faint trace of gum in right margin

Isabella suffered from poor health throughout her life, particularly
from back problems. She found that travel to distant parts
alleviated her symptoms which is quite extraordinary considering
the discomfort of nineteenth century travel, but may suggest that
some of her ailments were psychological. By 1878 she had
already visited America, Australia, New Zealand and the
Sandwich Islands and then she spent seven months in Japan. Her
book of this journey ‘Unbeaten Tracks in Japan’ was published in
1880 and was remarkable for her descriptions of the Ainu people
of Hokkaido. She married Dr Bishop in 1881 but started
travelling again in 1886 after his death. She studied medicine &
went on to found hospitals in Kashmir, the Punjab and elsewhere
in memory of her husband and her sister. In 1892 she was elected
the first lady F.R.G.S.
Isabella Bird was one of the most liberated and strong minded

Louvre, Paris, ‘Saturday’ n.d., c. 1886 [SD24363]£45
Boulanger rose on a wave of populism, based on his reforms in
the army for officers and men alike, and on his policy of revenge
for the war of 1870. Taken up by the radicals, he was Minister of
War from January 1886 to May 1887. However, a new
government found him inconveniently prominent, and was glad
when he resigned. The Paris mob clamoured for their “brav’
général”, who became a familiar figure on his black horse. During
1888 his personality dominated French politics, and the royalists
saw in him a chance to defeat the parliamentary Republic. In
April 1889 he fled Paris, for which he had been elected to the
Assembly, faced with a warrant for his arrest for treason. In 1891
he shot himself in Brussels by his mistress’ grave.

Sonnets, written chiefly on Picturesque Spots during a Journey’,
1789, had Coleridge, Wordsworth and Southey among its
enthusiastic admirers. His edition of Pope, 1806, led to a long
controversy, 1809-1825, in which Campbell and Byron were his
chief antagonists.

Long TLS toEileen Cond, saying “I am so glad your father
enjoys The Man Who Came Back ... Julian Symons wrote
me acharming personal letter”, she is unfortunately “too
tired and interrupted to do all the research for a historical

seem quite unable to collect the money - due last June! If
one sued, this wretched little company would probably go
bankrupt ... I had hoped the money would enable me to put
my mother in a nursing home”, she longs to get away and
start “the serious novel forecast a year ago. I’m the wrong
sex for a writer! Men authors like my cousin Compton

Burger was a deservedly popular and, as this letter shows, a
fastidious illustrator. He collaborated with the writer and drama
critic Theodor Fontane ,(1819-1898), on lavishly illustrated
histories of the Prussian wars against Denmark of 1864 and
against Austria and her German allies of 1866, published by R.
von Decker, to whom Burger was well known. The present letter
is therefore likely to be to a different publisher. In a note at the
end ofFontane on the war of 1866, Vol. I, Burger takes great
pride in the excellence of the Berlin woodcut artists and points out
that none of the work had been contracted to foreign firms.
Burger worked in many fields, including stained glass for Cologne
Cathedral and interior decorations for Bismarck’s and other
mansions in Berlin.

Ferdinand spent 1806-1815 in Sicily while Napoleon occupied the
mainland. On 26th December 1812 he ‘escaped’ to his beloved
Ficuzza while his Austrian-born Queen MARIA CAROLINA
(1752-1814) stayed at S. Margherita. Lord William
BENTINCK, British ambassador and head of the Sicilian armed
forces, suspected the queen, correctly as is now known, of
intriguing with Napoleon, and established a regency, refusing to
treat with the king while the queen was with him. However, she
was due to join him at La Ficuzza on 4th January. Later in 1813
Bentinck insisted that she return permanently to Austria. In 1812
Bentinck had established a constitution for Sicily on British lines.

way at La Ficuzza. Franco SERATTI had been Secretary

At the end of 1930 Willingdon was called from Ottawa to succeed
Lord Irwin as viceroy of India. He was raised to an earldom and
sworn of the Privy Council (1931). It was in fulfilment of a longcherished
ambition that he took oath as viceroy in April 1931.
Although now sixty-five he was fully equal to the great burden of
responsibility which fell on him at a time of political turmoil and
during the further elaboration of the federal plan eventually
authorized under the Government of India Act of 1935. The civil
disobedience campaign, in abeyance under the Irwin-Gandhi pact
of March 1931, was revived on the return of Gandhi from the
second Round Table conference. Applying his straightforward
logic to the situation the viceroy refused to have discussions with
law-breakers, so long as the challenge to duly constituted
authority continued. Under the persistent pressure of the law the
subversive movement petered out and was ultimately abandoned.
Of Willingdon's loyalty to the policy of far-reaching political
reform there was constant evidence. The serious effect on India of
the world trade slump of the early 'thirties and the occurrence of
two devastating earthquakes were among the stresses of the time.

Landlord but also in-coming tenant. It will be necessary for
me to put Bower in soon upon the land. I cannot wait till
March 25th ... How stands the law & the custom on this
point? Is not an outgoing tenant bound to let an incomer
get upon the land in time for the year’s cultivation? Will
Mrs Miller be entitled to hinder me from doing this ... Am I
entitled to have the accommodation of the farm buildings to
put my implements & horses in? ... How soon shall I be
entitled to put Bower on the land with means of working it?

Autograph Letter signed ‘Ioanna’, in alternate Italian and
English with translations, to Sir Ronald STORRS (1881-
1955), Sir Ronald has asked how she is “getting on” with
his book ‘Orientations’, she explains that during her journey
back from England she lent it to her father in Rome, now in
Sofia she is half-way through and finds it “very interesting
and original ... I very much hope next time you will travel

Sophia”, and sends regards from the King and herself, blind

During the war, King Boris III found himself a most unwilling ally
of Hitler. Both he and Queen Ioanna were responsible for saving
Jews, he from the concentration camps, and she in obtaining
transit visas to escape to Argentina.
‘Orientations’ is a fascinating autobiography, with invaluable
insights on Storrs’ time in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and as
Governor of Jerusalem (1917-1926) and Cyprus (1920-1932). His
love of the Middle East was shared by Vittorio Emmanuele III,
who was at Bethlehem when he heard of his own accession in
1900.

Khedive and left immediately for Naples.

EIPNIK (Dr. Ferdinand L., 1869-c.1924,
Hungarian Journalist & Connoisseur, intermediary
between Austria-Hungary and Great Britain in
WWI)
Important archive of letters addressed to Leipknik, from his
wide range of contacts in the political, literary and artistic
world, including letters from Ernest BRAIN of the Times,
W. Harbutt DAWSON , Count GLEICHEN of the
Foreign Office (14), Frederic HARRISON , Abel
HERMANT (2), Helmer KEY , Sir Sidney LEE (4),
Sir Sidney LOW (5) , Sir Herbert RUSSELL , H.
Wickham STEED of the Times (27), Sir William
TYRRELL of the Foreign Office, (27), Prof. Graham
WALLAS (3), Theodore & Clara WATTS DUNTON
(27), Louis WEIRTER (2) and over 200 VISITING
CARDS . [SD23564]£3,750
Of the political letters, those from Count Gleichen and Sir William
Tyrrell (1912-1921) chart Leipnik’s very special relations with the
Foreign Office. Besides the topics already mentioned, they
contain valuable insights about the possibility of a democratic
revolution in Germany ,and the impossibility of Austria shaking
off the German yoke. They can be ‘interleaved’ with the letters
sent by Leipnik now at the PRO and shed valuable light on
them.
Afurther large group (1907-1923) is from H. Wickham Steed,
Editor of the Times and historian of Central Europe. Steed loves
Hungary but is a stern critic of the excesses of Magyar
nationalism. During the war he writes of “a monster treason trial”
being “worked up in Banjaluka against 156 Bosnian Serbs ... what
is going on ?”, and after the war gives Leipnik a note for Benes,
1st Foreign Minister of the new Czechoslovakia, later President.
Among the literary letters is an apparently unrecorded group
from Theodore Watts-Dunton (1906-1914, continued to 1921 by
his widow Clara) about Watts-Dunton’s unpublished novel
‘Carniola’ . Starting with enquiries about the Hungarian theatre
and aHungarian ‘Punch & Judy’ show, the letters expand into a
fascinating literary exchange, Leipnik supplying information
about the Gypsies in Slovenia, and Watts-Dunton talking of
Swinburne, his permanent house guest for 30 years, sending
(1907) a copy of his poems (not present) which Swinburne has
autographed for Leipnik.
The collection is rounded by the visiting cards (c. 1905-c. 1922)
from diplomats, connoisseurs and journalists of over 15 countries.
They include many diplomats accredited by the Central Powers to
The Hague, who presumably gave Leipnik some of the
information he passed on to London.
Leipnik has till now been largely known for his beautiful history
of French Etching (1924). The present archive shows him as a
man with whom it was a pleasure and a profit to correspond, and
would be invaluable to a prospective biographer.
As a journalist, Leipnik gathered an immense number of
contacts, diplomatic, literary, financial and artistic. He edited the
‘Pester Lloyd’, 1907-1911, joined a short-lived ‘Journal
International’, and was in London at the outbreak of war. Unable
to obtain a permit as a friendly enemy alien, he spent most of the
war inneutral Holland, writing summaries of public opinion in all
parts of the Austro-Hungarian dominions for the British papers,
and especially for the Foreign Office, who took note of his
suggestions for propaganda, and valued the diplomatic papers he
was able to procure. By 1917 the Austrian embassy at the Hague
was using him to convey peace feelers to London, (see the papers
at the PRO, especially class FO371).

a remarkable siege and many attacks from the Russians
under Count Muraviev, from June to November 1855, when

On 10th May 1940, the Germans invaded the Netherlands and
Belgium. King Leopold took command of the armed forces but
made the decision to surrender on 28th May to save lives, and
became a prisoner in his Palace in Brussels, later in Austria.
Although he is credited with having saved 500,000 women and
children from deportation to work in German munitions factories,
the Belgian government in exile thought that he should have
escaped and joined them, and his brother Charles, Count of
Flanders, was made Regent at the liberation. Leopold abdicated in
favour of his son Baudouin in 1951.

Nyassa and invested the money in shares in an Indian bank which
failed a year or two afterwards. He stayed in India until January
1866. Sir Bartle Frere, governor of Bombay, gave him a passage
to Zanzibar in the Thule, a government vessel, which was to be
presented to the sultan of Zanzibar as a gift from the Bombay
government. He had brought with him from India some boys from
the Nassick Mission, and thirteen sepoys, as a nucleus for his
expedition. At Zanzibar he engaged ten Johanna men and four
natives of Nyasaland, and bought camels, buffaloes, mules, and
donkeys to experiment on their resistance to the effect of the tsetse
fly. He arrived off the Rovuma in H.M.S. Penguin on 22nd

303. LEWIS (C. S., 1898-1963, Writer & Scholar, Author
of ‘The Screwtape Letters’)
Important unpublished ALS (‘C. S. Lewis’) to the poet Alan
Rooke, replying to a dissertation on poetry which Rook has sent
him (typed copy of pages 2 and 3 present), Lewis says that the
letter he is replying to is “the kind I like best ...” and continues to
give his opinions of various poets including Auden and
Wordsworth and his general philosophy on the art of the poet,
“The difference between Banfield and Richards is not
terminological but depends on the difference of their philosophies
which are mutually exclusive. For Banfield the mind is
immaterial and the pleasure is that of transition to new life,
closely analogous on the mental plane to sexual pleasure on the
bodily. For Richard mind means nerves, its pleasures are ...
physiological ...The suggestion that the young ought to
understand modern poetry best was really an argumentum ad
nominem or a calling of the bluff; for I have often heard the
difficulty of this poetry justified on the ground that it was born of,
and dealt with, an entirely new situation which no one over a
certain age could understand. I do not myself accept this ... I
agree that Auden at first showed poetical genius of the highest
order, which has been progressively vitiated by nonsense. This is
one of my chief grievances against modern poetolatry; when we
do get poets we corrupt them ... The attempt to use words in a
purely sensuous or emotive sequence is certainly one cause of the
obscurity ... The private senses are another and quite illegitimate
cause. Often the key to a passage in modern poetry depends on
something which only the poets friends can know ... If this goes
on it will destroy not poetry, but this poetry. Poetry itself, I
trust, will break out again from some unexpected sources ... I
don’t think it can be establishes that the poet has supernormal
‘vision’. Some have this who are not poets - Socrates, St. John of
the Cross ... Some are poets who have it not - Homer, Horace,
Dunbar, Pope, Byron, Housman ...I don’t think Wordsworth
compounded for gold ... I don’t think we know under what
conditions a man loses genius ... the only kind of poetry his talent
enabled him to write wasn’t much good for expressing the view he
now held. My chief suspected disagreement with you might be
expressed by saying ‘you do not sufficiently think of poetry as an
art or skill ... I agree that as prose takes over more and more of the
things once done by verse there will be a likelihood of poet’s
dealing less and less with anything but their own inner
experiences ... I don’t think it is the differentia of the poet that he
is ‘trying to know the unknowable’; that is the differentia of
Man. The failure is Man’s tragedy. [cf Tolkien on Beowulf. The
Monsters & the Critics ... the poet’s only business as poet is to
make poems. Poems about the failure might be quite successful
poems ... I know you are not really a poetolator, but aren’t you
infected in so far as you think of the poet as a special kind of man
instead of a man who can do a special thing ... It all began when
Wordsworth v. foolishly transferred critical attention from the
fruitful enquiry, ‘what kind of art is poetry?’ to the silly enquiry
‘what kind of man is a poet’ - silly, because the only true answer
(a poet is a man who makes poetry) throws one back on the first
question ... If Shakespeare’s late plays are bad, there may be
several simpler reasons than you suggest ...” ending by inviting

no examinations, only sheer education. Among its early students
were Miss Octavia Hill, Miss Buss and Miss Beale” (S.C.
Carpenter).
316. MAZZINI (Giuseppe, 1805-1872, Italian patriot,
with Cavour & Garibaldi achieved the unification of Italy)
Important UNPUBLISHED Autograph Letter in Italian
with text and translation of the whole, in Mazzini’s tiny
hand, to Filippo DE BONI , (1816-1870, fellow
conspirator), [in Lausanne], headed by De Boni in Italian
‘replied the 14th’, the first 4 sides out of 5, the fifth being in
the Nathan collection, one and one-third sides contain the
earliest account of Mazzini’s proposals for a new journal
L’Iniziativa, and form the missing link between letters no.
2306 and 2307 (see the National Edition Vol. 33, Imola,
1921), now proved to be parts of the same letter, annotated
in another hand in Italian ‘From Mazzini to De Boni,
Arch[ivio] T[riennale] Vol. 1 44331 [?, for 442-3]’, 4 sides
8vo., with an attractive carte-de-visite photograph of
Mazzini ca. 1865 by Elliott and Fry, London, n.p. [at S.
Hamilton Esq., 19 Cropley Street, New North Road,
London], n.d. [3rd January 1848] [SD9535]£950
Along, passionate letter written on the eve of the great upheavals
of 1848. Mazzini chafes at the lack of action, the Pope’s retreat
from Liberalism, Cavour’s new paper ‘Il Risorgimento’ and its
attempt at conciliation, and the ‘Arcadian’ tone of another new
paper. “I saw your name among the collaborators of the
‘Concordia’ ... Valerio is in grave danger of falling into these
sentimental politics ... among the neo-Catholics, who forgive
everything, hope for everything from everybody, embrace king,
people, federalists, unionists, and expect the resurrection of Italy
to take place in Arcadia. The very title is Arcadian. ‘Concordia’ ?
Between whom ?” In the next, unpublished passage ,Mazzini
proposes a radical new journal, to the left of Cavour’s and
Valerio’s: “I hate to think of us back in the middle of 1793. If we
cannot find men of action in Italy, I would prefer you to make for
Tuscany incharge of a journal that would be really ours, some
kind of monthly or fortnightly Review, which I would like to call
’L’Iniziativa’ ,whose mission would be to create an apostolate
”, Mazzini’s favourite word for his own life’s work, “of true
Italian principles among intelligent young men ... I would
collaborate as much as I could, and further I would have the help
of Giannone and several others with him. We cannot undertake a
journal that is popular, active and polemical in Italy; our distance
makes it impossible. But it is very necessary to train the
nucleus of a National party that can ‘think’ ,andup to now I do
not see any such nucleus”, Mazzini would provide in each issue
“one good part devoted to theory for the future”, De Boni the
practical and editorial, “you could be the one to make it work ... A
third part ... could be of special interest by collecting opinions on
our affairs from abroad; ... this would be my task ... Florence
would be the place ... Some money could be found ... I could
probably provide as your hard working collaborator Lizabe
Ruffoni, the editor of ‘Il Conciliatore’ in Paris, who is now
thinking of moving to Tuscany ... who has made a profound study
of history and of our principles”, offering to find subscribers,
“Think a little and let me know ... You are close to a printer’s”
and could work out “the cost of a fortnightly review ... I would
extend the Programme ... leaving the way open to whatever
touches the honour and future existence of the Nation”, and
hoping they can meet in any event, “I suppose the half-way place
could be Brussels or Paris”. (For the conclusion see the published
Letter 2307, and the text and translation accompanying the present
item). The parts of the letter were no doubt separated when the
first two and two-thirds sides, of the four present here, were
printed at Capolago in Switzerland in 1850. They form pp. 442-
443 of ‘Archivio Triennale’, Vol. I, an account of Italian affairs
from Pius IX’s accession in 1846 to the recapture by Austria of
Venice in 1849. The present original reveals a few minor changes
of wording. Ernesto Nathan, 1845-1921, owned the remaining
page. His parents had befriended Italian exiles in England, and he
first met Mazzini about 1859 in Switzerland. Besides being
Mayor of Rome, 1907-1913, he promoted the National Edition of
Mazzini’s works, and later gave his collection to the state. Lizabe
Ruffoni and Pietro Giannone founded ‘Il Conciliatore’ in Paris in
1847. It lasted a few numbers and in the spring of 1848 they
returned to Italy where they joined Mazzini; plans for
‘L’Iniziativa’ were overtaken by the need for action. ‘Young
Italy’ was replaced by Mazzini’s ‘Associazione Nazionale
Italiana’, with Ruffoni and Giannone as Secretary and Vice-
President.

1848, he sought a middle way for Germany between the rivalry of
Austria and Prussia, and granted Bavaria a constitution in 1859.
He continued to invite scientists such as Liebig to Munich,
regardless of their religious views, in spite of criticism from the
ultramontane party. This letter was signed a few weeks before he
died on 10th March.
Cardinal Mertel, born at Allumiere, Civitavecchia, was vicechancellor
(the highest legal post) of the Roman Church, from
1884.

Michael enjoyed country life and his animals; he was a good shot,
proud and obstinate. George had started in the Navy but went
down with tuberculosis. He spent summers at Abas Tuman in the
Caucasus, opposite the Crimea, and went to Algeria in the winter.
Michael became heir to the throne after George died in 1899, till
the Tsesarevich Alexei was born in 1904. Nicholas II abdicated
for himself and his son on 28th March 1917, but Michael refused
to ascend the throne without the will of the people and himself
renounced the throne on 29th March. He was killed by the
Bolsheviks at Perm about 28th July 1918.

332. NICHOLAS II (1868-1918, Last Emperor of Russia
from 1894, assassinated after the revolution)
Fine Document in Russian with translation, signed with

Commander-in-Chief of the Army in the Russo-Japanese
War 1904-1905, Governor of Turkestan 1916-1917),
written on his fiftieth anniversary of joining the army, with
an interesting citation of his Army career in Turkestan, the
Turkish war, and Trans-Caspia, saying “Your brilliant
fighting ascomrade-in-arms of our national hero Adjutant-
General Skobelev, was recognized by ... the Order of St.
George ... 4th and 3rd Class ... You putyour experience
gained in the field to great use in your writings on ... tactical
positions ... appointed Governor of the Province of Trans-
Caspia and its Military Commander...”, Nicholas adds,
“valuing both your fighting experience and your especial
industry and persistence in the field of administration, I
appointed you in 1898 ... Minister of War, to fulfil a
number of reforms ... Your painstaking work” to put the
armed forces in readiness was “suddenly interrupted by ...
the war against Japan ... From the beginning of the present
unparalleled war, impudently declared on Us by Germany,
you remained eager for active service and ... willingly
assumed command of the Corps of Grenadiers.
Appreciating your ... selfless yearning to serve Me and the
Motherland to the end, I, in February this year, appointed
you Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Northern
Front ...”, but now Nicholas calls on his special experience
to make him Governor of Turkestan, (which was becoming
a centre of unrest), marking his anniversary with “Our
Imperial Order of St. Vladimir, Apostle and Prince, 1st
Class, the insignia of which I send herewith, commanding
you towear and diplay them according to statute”, 4 sides
4to. in a fine copperplate hand, Imperial Staff [St.
Petersburg], 8 August 1916 [SD26033]£1,400
Kuropatkin was recognized in his thirties as one of Europe’s finest
soldiers, but his reputation suffered badly at the Russian defeat at
Mukden in 1905. The Russian forces, nearly 300,000 men, were
extended over a 90-mile front and overtaken by the Japanese
thrust before they could concentrate. This was largely due to
Kuropatkin's subjection to Nicholas’ Viceroy in the Far East,
Admiral Alexeev, and partly to friction among the generals.
Kuropatkin wrote the classic history of the Turkish war of 1877-
1878, but the last of his four volumes on the Japanese war, in
which he freely admits his mistakes, was banned in Russia and
had to be published in Germany. In 1917 he retired to his former
estate and taught in a secondary school and at an agricultural
college he had founded.

When Alexander I was assassinated in 1934, his cousin Paul
became regent for Alexander’s young son Peter II, (1923-1970).
Paul had married Princess Olga, a cousin of King George’s, in
1923, and created a ‘Greater Croatia’, including Bosnia and
Herzegovina and Dubrovnik, to try to avoid a rupture between
Serbs and Croats. Relations between the two countries in this
document were put severely to the test in the War. Paul was
forced into an alliance with Hitler on 5th March 1941 but a
popular rising on 27th March forced him to hand over power to
Peter II and go into exile. Peter reigned in exile 1941-1945 and
was deposed in November 1945.

Battle of the Nile, Ball besieged Malta from 1798 to 1800. He
committed the blockade to his lieutenant and himself led the
marines and local militia on the land side. His care for his men
laid the foundations of his popularity with the Maltese which

1st June 1702 [SD2589]£250
Philip succeeded to the Spanish throne through the will of Charles
II, but the prospect of a French Prince ruling Spain caused
widespread alarm throughout Europe & started the War of the
Spanish Succession (1701-1713). This document refers to an
early incident in that War.
Philip reached Madrid on 28th January 1701, the first Bourbon
King of Spain. Leopold of Austria attempted to stir up trouble in
Italy, particularly Naples as recorded by this document.
Ubilla accompanied Philip, the first Spanish King to visit his
Italian Dominions in 150 years, to Naples and Milan. Philip was a
weak king, ruled by his wife Isabella Farnese of Parma.

Mary travelled with her mother Charlotte (née Halkett, 1773 or
1774-1853), her stepfather Stewart Boone Inglis (m. 1818), and
sister Charlotte (b. 16th August 1806). Besides art and
architecture she takes great interest in manufacturing processes,
such as the silvering of plate glass at Paris, the Gobelins, and the
great water tower shaped like an elephant and castle in the Place
de la Bastille. She visits the Deaf and Dumb school in Paris,
Pestalozzi in Switzerland, the agricultural school near Berne, and
the military school in Milan, describing their methods (Pestalozzi
gives the pupils examples, they deduce the rules for themselves).
She admires the roads built by Napoleon, especially the Simplon,
sees the statue of ‘Jupiter’ in Milan done with the head of
Napoleon, and is even given at dinner there a lock of the
Emperor’s hair. She admires too the grace with which ordinary
French people dance for an evening’s relaxation at the Tivoli
Gardens, gets invited to join a wedding party, and haggles with
shopkeepers for the local price. When the party change horses,
there is no stopping her and her mother clambering up for a fine
view - her description of the successive heights at Milan Cathedral
is particularly evocative.
The party spend a month at Paris, where ‘restaurants’ are still
comparatively new. They then hire a boy and four mules to go in
eight days toGeneva. The famous sudden view of Mont Blanc, at
sunset and cloudless, is “like magic”. They find themselves in the
footsteps of Rousseau, Voltaire and Byron, whose name they see
carved at Chillon. They stay long in Milan (October 1819 -
August 1820), then take a house on Lake Como, visiting all the
nobility’s gardens by boat. The story resumes in August 1821 in
“Baden en Baden”. All roads, it seems, lead to the Frankfurt
Autumn fair. The longest stop on the way home is at Brussels (10
days), where they see the Duke of Wellington in the Park, along
with Lord Castlereagh, ambassador Clancarty, and Lady Jersey.
They find that the King of the Netherlands is expected, along with
George IV, whom they have never seen in England, and who
“astonished us by his immense size”.
With many other vignette descriptions, of clothing, road travel,
seeing Louis XVIII dine in public, and shrewd comments on
actors and singers, fellow travellers and local notables.

monument at Breda to Count Engelbrecht of Nassau.

2charming ALS, the first signed with initials, to “C.J.H.”
(probably Charles John Hare, 1818-1898, M.D. 1847,
F.R.C.P. 1859), saying he had sent C.J.H.’s portrait to
Leeds with J.D. Heaton, who had called on hearing of his
mother’s illness, and sharing his feelings with C.J.H. on her
loss, “I received a very kind note from your father ... ‘the
likeness truly admirable’ ”, he turns whimsically to the
forthcoming wedding of their friend M.B. Beverley at
Headingley to “the fair Maria”, hoping the groom is not
reduced to a skeleton by the hot weather, like a horse “she
ought to see him in good condition before she takes
possession ... I dare say you are marking the days ... to see
whether you will pass the Rubicon [his exams] ere you go
into Yorkshire”, with much cheerful speculation on
Beverley’s feelings, and a fine pen sketch of the carriages
approaching the church, crowds cheering, the writer looking
through a telescope from London, and the ceremony at the
altar (18th May 1841), in the second Royce has stuck
Beverley’s envelope wafer to the page, showing Cupid
taking aim, marked ‘Prenez Garde’, Royce draws a young
man losing his hat as the arrow pierces him, and gives a
mock-Shakespearean discourse on “taking care”, as to
whether it is of the wife, by the wife, or self-preservation,
and on “the bliss of being mistaken for your shadow ... the
felicity of being unable to eat - drink - sleep ... to stop at
home or live on a rail-road ... ‘We come Beverley; we
come: as fast as our inferior opportunities ... will permit’ ”,
he repeats an anecdote of Cobbett, then returns to C.J.H.’s
portrait whose reception was all he could desire, he gives
his philosophy in fascinating detail, and though he can only
catch one moment, “there is in almost every countenance ...
such intense personality, that ... to abate one characteristic,
is to dilute the decided flavour of a particular wine; is to
throw away a spark of divinity ... I look with suspicion at
the mender of nature’s ... work” (7th June 1841), together 8

Sale served in India under Baird against Tippoo Sahib (1798) and
under Wellesley. In the Afghan War of 1838 he commanded the
1st Bengal Brigade, which reached Kandahar in April 1839. He
led the storming party at Ghazni in person and marched on to
Kabul, where he was left with the army of occupation and was
joined by his wife and daughter. When the Indian government
stopped the subsidy to the frontier tribes, Sale was ordered to clear
the route back to Peshawar, and during the campaign sustained a
memorable siege at Jalalabad, November 1841- April 1842. The
relieving force found that he had already broken out and routed
Akbar’s lines. Sale received the thanks of Parliament, a medal
was struck for all ranks, and Sale returned to Kabul. Lady Sale,
while Akbar’s prisoner, had managed to save her diary, which was
published in 1843.

Slava was the son of the actor Joseph Kschessinsky (1868-1942),
brother of prima ballerina assoluta Matilda Kschessinska, (1872-
1971). Slava’s mother was Joseph’s first wife Serafima
Alexandrovna Astafieva (1876-13th September 1934), known as
‘Sima’. Sima was with Diaghilev 1909-1911, then left Russia
and set up her ballet school at 152 Kings Road, Chelsea in 1916,
the first Russian to do so in England. Slava married Margot Luck
(d. 9th April 1976), one of his mother’s pupils. Other pupils
included Alicia Markova, Anton Dolin and Margot Fonteyn.
Sergei Mikhailovich and his brothers were close in age to the
young Nikolai II (1868-1918). When Nikolai, in view of his
impending engagement to Alix of Hesse, gave up seeing his
mistress Matilda Kschessinska, he asked Sergei Mikhailovich to
take care of her. Nikolai bought her the town house on English
Prospekt where they had been used to give supper parties, and
later Sergei bought her her dacha on the coast at Strelna. In 1920
some of Sergei’s belongings recovered from Alapaievsk, including
a miniature of Matilda, were returned to her in Paris. See
Matilda’s memoirs, ‘Dancing in Petersburg’, translated by Arnold
Haskell, 1960.

Botany and Director of the Botanic Gardens, Lyon)
Autograph letter signed, in French with translation, to
Matthew Henry Marsh, (1810-1881, English botanist)
sending “some of the things I have written” and enclosing
“some second copies for your friend Mr. Macleay [sic],
Professor of Botany at Sydney, and Director of the Botanic
Gardens ... If your friend could provide some of the
Australian grains, and dried specimens of Mimosa, of
Epacris, [and] of rare or common Cereals, he would give
me great pleasure” and offering to send “what you and he
may like to choose” in exchange, 1 side folio, addressed to
Marsh in Lyon on conjugate leaf, Lyon, 17th March 1856
[SD16757]£275
Seringe was a born plant exchanger, and as a young man teaching
in Bern published a list of all the varieties of dried Roses he would
exchange for plants, botanical books, or coin at 15 batzen (45
sous). He did important work on Swiss cereals, their use in
commerce, and their diseases. When he moved in 1830 to the
Botanic Gardens at Lyon, the great centre of the silk industry, he
did the same for mulberry trees, and published a ‘Flore du
pharmacien’, 1851. He contributed many specialist sections to
Candolle’s famous ‘Prodromus’ of a universal classification.
Marsh trained as a barrister, then in 1840 went to New South
Wales. He farmed sheep for 14 years, and was a member of the
legislative council 1851-1854. Returning to England, he was
M.P. for Salisbury 1867-1868.
At the time of this letter, Charles Moore (c.1820-1896), was in
fact Director of the [Royal] Botanical Gardens, Sydney 1848-
1896. (His brother David was director at Glasnevin, Dublin). He
first gave lectures, to medical students, in 1851, in a shed at the
Gardens, but in fact there was no Science Faculty at Sydney till
1882 and no school of Botany at the University till 1913. Moore
opened a Public Botanical Library in 1852 and by June 1856 the
public had free access 3 days week.
Macleay is probably William Sharp Macleay, 1792-1865,
possibly (Sir) George, 1809-1891. Their father Alexander, 1767-
1848, born in Wick, ‘the father of Australian Zoology’, and
Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales, 1843-
1846, was closely connected with founding the Australian
Museum. His garden at Elizabeth Bay became famous for its
valuable and rare plants. William Sharp Macleay, eldest of
Alexander’s 17 children, took over the garden. Moore regularly
exchanged plants with both brothers. William, a committee man,
then a trustee of the Australian Museum from 1841 to 1862, was
in touch with all those genuinely interested in science in Sydney,
and visiting scientists made a point of meeting him. Both brothers
had been on the Botanical Gardens Committee, wound up in 1851,
and weremembers of the Legislative Assembly.
378. SMITH (Sir Harry George Wakelyn, 1787-1860,
General, founder of Ladysmith, 1st Bt.)
AN signed ‘Hy Smith’ to ‘My Dear Children’, thanking
them “for the beautiful violets”, with afine contemporary

Sir Harry is renowned for his bravery and humanity. He fought in
the Peninsular, at Waterloo, and in the Sikh Wars, and was
Governor of the Cape 1847-1852. Ladysmith is named after
Juana, his ‘Spanish Bride’, (d. 1872), who accompanied him
throughout the Peninsular, and in South Africa.

381. STEED (Henry Wickham, 1871-1956, Editor of the
Times 1919-1922, Historian of Central Europe)
Very interesting archive of letters addressed to Dr
Ferdinand L. Leipnik, (1869-c.1924), the Hungarian
journalist and connoisseur, discussing Central European
politics and articles for The Times, beginning with
Magyar nationalism ,talking of Stephen Bernát and “the
crusade to which you refer”, Steed says “I hardly know
which is more contemptible, - it or the conduct of those who
are engaged in it”, he hopes that “Hungary will perceive the
real causes of the withdrawal of foreign sympathy” and
return to its former “solid liberalism” (9th October 1907).
Steed introduces Basil Williams, 1867-1950, “a writer of
good leaders ... a man after your own heart ... Introduce him
to anybody who is likely to tell him the truth” (1st May
1908), discusses an anonymous pamphlet sent by Leipnik
and has ordered 12 copies, “I have never entirely lost [the
hope] of seeing the Magyars turn from the error of their
ways ... and lead this Monarchy towards ... tolerance and
sincerity” (2nd June 1908), and asks Leipnik to tell
Wilhelm Singer [editor of the Neues Wiener Tagblatt], that
“as Ihad taken no notice of the accusations against Mr
Kossuth, I could not take notice of the latter’s defence” and
suggests the extreme Nationalist Coalition publish “an exact
account of what was done with the Tulipán funds”. He will
find out how Leipnik might write for the London press
outside the main Agencies, asks for an article on the Church
in Hungary and how far it is fulfilling its mission (30th
January 1909). After the outbreak of WWI he repeatedly
accepts or commissions articles for The Times, “Your
information as to the reason for Berchtold’s dismissal is
new” (Count Leopold, Austrian Foreign Minister 1912 -
13th January 1915, letter 30th January 1915), Austria can
only become a vassal of Germany if victorious (“which God
forbid!”) or be dismembered if defeated (24th August
1915), “I gather that amonster treason trial is being
worked up in Banjaluka against 156 Bosnian Serbs ...
an enlarged edition of the Agram [Zagreb] high treason trial
... what is going on?” (14th December 1915), the Morning
Post prints “regular letters dated from Budapest ... I believe
fabricated in England or Holland, by a man named
Szébenyei ... often wide of the mark”, so can Leipnik
supply a little article on the Magyar or German Budapest
papers “say once a week or three times a month?” (1st
February 1916). Steed has “just been in France for three
weeks, giving lectures and ... visiting Verdun during the
battle ... The French Army is beyond praise” (28th March
1916). “The most valid sanction of the future reign of law”,
on which Leipnik proposes action to codify, “is the proof
which the Somme battle has afforded that England ... can
form of her raw human material an army that can thrash the
best troops of the German law-breaker” (10th November
1916), after the war Steed’s commissions turn to
“restoration of the currency in Central Europe” (22nd
January 1920), however money begins to get tighter and
“the paper situation is absolutely prohibitive” (18th
February 1920), Leipnik visits him in London, later Steed
gives him “a note for Benes”, the first Foreign Minister of
Czechoslovakia, later President, and asks Leipnik to note
his “impressions of Prague ... and ... of the real inwardness
of the Horthy regime” established in November in Budapest
(7th April 1920), he is very glad to know “you have found a
good journalistic job & hope the enclosed may help you ...
till your ship comes home” (9th October 1920), Steed will
now have to live up to his “beautiful but over-generous
article in the Graphic” (14th December 1922), together 45
sides, The Times Offices at 9 Schwindgasse, Vienna and

Steed joined the Times in 1896, was its correspondent in Vienna
1902-1913, culminating in his book ‘The Hapsburg Monarchy’,
and took an immense interest in Hungary and the Balkan
dominions. During WWI he was Foreign Editor and directed
much Allied propaganda.
Leipnik was Budapest correspondent of the London liberal daily
‘The Tribune’, which ran from 1906 to 1908, and from 1907-1911
edited the financial, political and literary ‘Pester Lloyd’. A move
to the new ‘Journal International’ in Paris (1911) was short-lived
when the paper folded. However he had built up a network of
diplomatic contacts, and spent most of WWI in neutral Holland,
obtaining diplomatic papers from Austria-Hungary and Germany
for the British Foreign Office, and acting as a go-between in peace
feelers, especially from Austria. He also visited the U.S.A. in
1917 to assess the movement for peace there, and his summaries
of public opinion in Central European countries and the Balkans
were much used by the Foreign Office. See e.g. the letters in the
Public Record Office, especially in class FO371.

Excellent ALS to Robert Crossland of the Union Foundry in
Bradford giving his favourable “opinion as to the character
of your railway carriage wheels. In reply, I have to state
that I like your wheels better than any others we have had. I
believe we have not had one of them to fail and several of
those from other Firms have given way by becoming loose

Tapton House, 13th September 1845 [SD26561]£1,450
Stephenson took a lease of Tapton House, near Chesterfield,
during the construction of the Midland line and lived there till his
death.
In 1844 he used his influence to try and check the railway mania
which was sweeping the country with mad schemes. The
development of railways in the fourteen years since the Rainhill
competition was remarkable. He travelled from London to
Newcastle in 1844 to attend a railway banquet in only nine hours.
His last great parliamentary struggle was in 1845 in the battle
between the supporters of the locomotive and the upholders of the
atmospheric railway system, led by Brunel, which arose in
connection with the extension of the railway from Newcastle to
Berwick. The board of trade was inclined to support Brunel but
Stephenson's party won a great parliamentary victory, and settled
the matter for ever. This was the final attempt to dispute the
supremacy of the locomotive.

1892, from 1857 President of Queens’, Cambridge, saying
that “Something in the appearance of Polly’s feathers which
you kindly gave the children led me to examine them for
fluorescence and I found that the yellow ... was rather
highly fluorescent. This is the first instance Ihavefound
of fluorescence in the colouring matter of birds’ feathers”,
he then tried a canary but it was not fluorescent, and begs,

Scottish chief Naturalist on the Challenger )
ALS to the Secretary of the Palaeontographical Society,
saying that he and Dr. Carpenter (W.B., 1813-1885) have
been working on papers for the Philosophical Transactions
of the Royal Society, his own “will form the basis of the
Natural History introduction to the Monog: of the

now thinks Marsupites belong to the Palaeozoic group, not
Comatula, but will “complete my study of your specimens

Thomson greatly enlarged the knowledge of the ocean floor,
finding living creatures in abundance down to 650 fathoms, many
of which were previously thought extinct, and that deep-sea
temperatures were not so constant as supposed, indicating an
oceanic circulation. His researches were incidentally of great
importance for cable-laying.
See Thomson’s ‘The Depths of the Sea’ (1873) for the dredging
voyages of Lightning (1868) and Porcupine (1869, 1870).
The Challenger Expedition was sent out to make a series of
soundings and dredgings in the three great ocean basins, to
ascertain the temperature and character of the water, to collect
specimens of the fauna and flora on the surface and from all
possible depths, and to study as far as possible certain rarely
visited oceanic islands. The Challenger was a corvette of 2,306
tons, specially fitted up and placed under command of Captain Sir
George Nares, with a naval surveying staff. Thomson, who had
been granted leave of absence by his university, was appointed
chief of the civilian scientific staff (six in number). They left
Sheerness on 7 Dec. 1872, crossed the Atlantic from the Canary
Isles to the West Indies, when after skirting its American side as
far north as Halifax they recrossed to Madeira by the Azores. Then
they sailed southward of the Cape de Verde Islands and St. Paul's
Rocks toFernando Noronha and the Brazil coast, crossing the
southern Atlantic by way of Tristan da Cunha to the Cape of Good
Hope. From this they made for the Antarctic Ocean by way of the
Crozets and Kerguelen land, and reached the ice-pack a little
south of the Antarctic circle, beyond which it was unsafe to
venture in an ordinary vessel. From there they proceeded to
Australia, and after touching at Melbourne and Sydney, sailed for
Fiji. A devious course took them through the Australasian islands,
and then they visited Japan and the Sandwich Islands. After
sailing due south to the tropic of Capricorn, they took an easterly
course to Valparaiso, and made their way into the southern
Atlantic through the Magellan Strait. After calling at Montevideo
they visited the Canaries, and returned to England by a variation
of their former route, arriving at Spithead on 24 May 1876, having
travelled in this remarkable voyage 68,890 nautical miles, and
having made observations by soundings at 362 stations. An
enormous mass of material had been obtained for study, and
Thomson (who was knighted on his return) was appointed director
of the Challenger expedition commission to superintend the
arrangement of the collections and the publication of the results at
the public expense. He also resumed his university duties,
delivered the Rede lecture at Cambridge in 1877, and the
combination of all this work was too much for him and he became
ill and he died at his house, Bonsyde, near Linlithgow, on 10
March 1882.
392. THORNHILL (Cudbert Bensley, d. 1868, Secretary

Agra, 1857, Commissioner of Allahabad, 1861)
Signed Copy Letter to (Sir) George St. Patrick Lawrence,
1804-1884, Chief Agent (Resident) and Brigadier-General
Commanding in Rajputana, saying that he has seen the
letter of 7th August from Lieutenant (Arthur St. John)
Mildmay, 1823-1884, detailing the assistance given by the
Maharajah of Bikanir and the forces under his personal
command in reoccupying Sersal and Hissar, and enclosing
“a Khureelah expressive of the Lieutt. Governor’s
acknowledgment of the Services of the Maharajah”, to be
forwarded to the latter unless “subsequent circumstances”
dictate otherwise, 1 side folio, Fort Agra, 4th September
1857, afewlight grease marks [SD50021]£75
The letter gives no hint of the current anxiety at Fort Agra, where
the Lieutenant-Governor, John Russell Colvin, 1807-1857, had
gathered all the Christian population of the cantonments and the
city, and, though dangerously ill, had succeeded in preserving
calm.

394. TROLLOPE (Anthony, 1815-1882, Novelist)
Fine unpublished ALS to Charles Banning aying he has
received an "invitation to meet C. Dickens at a dinner to

want to take my son with me ..." and asking if he can secure

This meeting of the two great novelists is not mentioned in any of
the major biographies of Trollope. The dinner was held in
Dickens' honour on the 10th April 1869 and is briefly noted in R.
C. Terry's 'Trollope Chronology' but seems to have been otherwise
unnoticed by Trollope scholars. It is rare to find letters of
Trollope mentioning Dickens: less than twenty are known. Letters
of Trollope to Banning, a post office colleague, are even rarer:
only one other survives. Trollope at this time was anxious about
his sons making their way in the world. Although both sons were
around -- Fred had just returned from Australia but was intending
to leave England again in late April -- it is more likely it was
Harry whom he wished to introduce to society, perhaps with the
hope that the boy's job prospects would improve as a result. A
few months following this dinner, Harry did indeed secure
employment -- with Chapman & Hall, Dickens' publishers, whose
high-ranking staff would almost certainly have been present at this
dinner.

Tyrrell writes “A summary of Hungarian and Croatian press news
would be much appreciated here” (14th July 1916), also particular
books by Andrassy and Tisza, and “any copies of official
diplomatic correspondence issued by the Austrian, Russian,
Roumanian, or Serbian Governments at any time between 1900
and 1914 ... we have all those issued since the war began” (18th
September 1916), Leipnik has been talking with Louis P. Lochner
[General Secretary, Neutral Conference for Continuous
Mediation], Tyrrell agrees with Leipnik’s explanation to Lochner
of Henry Ford’s peace scheme so far (12th October 1916), “the
official [Austrian] correspondence is just what [our people] have
been trying to get for some months” (23rd October 1916, second
letter), Leipnik has proposed a conference for the “reconstruction
of International Law” but “H.M. Government” could not
countenance one (4th December 1916, [Lord Grey said this was
for neutrals so long as the war lasted]), Leipnik returns from the
U.S.A. via the U.K. [by special permit as an enemy alien, see FO
papers] and Tyrrell asks him “if you have nothing better to do to
lunch at the St. James’s Club tomorrow” (8th February 1917), he
asks for “names of some neutral writers” to write in the “English
papers” (12th July 1917), “Germany is the last country at present
to indulge in a democratic revolution ... The Junkers like the
Bourbons of old are alone capable of provoking a revolution;
there does seem an off chance of Hindenberg & Ludendorff
bringing that off, if given enough rope ... It is almost a physical
impossibility for [Austria-Hungary] to emancipate herself from the
German yoke. Please do write again” (23rd July 1917), Germany
will not allow Austria the “increased prestige” of concluding a
separate peace, nor contemplate it herself “until she has securely
fettered her allies economically”, he agrees “Kuhlmann [German
Foreign Minister, whom Leipnik met in The Hague] is sincere”
but the “surface moderation” of his terms may be “deceptive on
examination” (15th September 1917). The correspondence
continues after the war about the Paris Peace conference and the
League of Nations, “as regards Pesth ... I feel sure you could do
good among those people who want above all good advice and
prompting” (14th August 1919, during Béla Kun’s communist
interregnum, swept away by Admiral Horthy in November 1919),
“I shall be only too pleased if I can help to explode sane
[“forsooth”] the ex-Emperor’s fiction” (4th October 1922,
referring to Charles of Austria-Hungary, 1887-1922, reigned
1916-1918).
For the interlocking papers at the PRO, see the headings in the FO
Card Index of Correspondence, 1914-1919, under ‘Leipnik’, and
especially class FO371. On 6th October 1917 the British
Ambassador at The Hague wrote asking for instructions, the
Austrian Minister had asked Leipnik to find out “if, in the event of
his happening to meet me at Leipnik’s house [in Scheveningen], I
would report to you any conversation that might ensue”,
mentioning some possible territorial changes as peace terms,
adding “I should be in a position to give an immediate ‘Yes’ or
‘No’ without appearing to have received instructions” (File
134202 f 58).
Before the war Leipnik was editor of the ‘Pester Lloyd’, but
resigned in 1911. He first contacted Tyrrell in 1912. He was in
London when war broke out, and tried to get a Home Office pass
as afriendly enemy alien (see Tyrrell’s telegram, 23rd October
1914), with a view to naturalization after four years’ residence,
but this never happened.

General intheSikh Army)
Manuscript “Memorandum of the Services of General Van
Cortlandt”, possibly in his hand, in particular describing the
Punjab anarchy in 1844-1846, when his knowledge of the
Sikh army and its chiefs was invaluable to the British, and
as General under Duleep Singh, when he reorganised the
army, and was governor of “perhaps the most difficult
provinces ... of the whole Seikh territory ... subject to
continual inroads from the neighbouring Mountaineers”, Lt.
(later Sir H.B.) Edwardes being attached as Political
Officer, on the outbreak at Multan in 1848 he marched
“with the whole of his Troops accompanied by Lieutenant
Edwardes ... defeated the enemy in two hotly contested
engagements”, and joined the siege of Multan for three
months, however on the annexation of the Punjab in 1849,
although all the Sikh regiments were taken over by the
E.I.C., Van Cortlandt “was entirely passed over ... in
manifest violation ... of the promises ... honourably fulfilled
to the other officers and men of his service”, becoming a
civil Deputy Commissioner, however, on the outbreak of
the Mutiny inMay 1857 Van Cortlandt raised two Punjab
regiments forestalled “the tide of Insurrection flowing
towards the Punjab”, and restored order “to ... entire
districts ... to within a few miles of Delhi itself”, 8 sides

Clearly, votes of thanks, even medals, did not satisfy Van
Cortlandt - he wanted employment as a soldier. Having joined the
Sikh army at 18, he served under Ranjit Singh (reigned 1799-
1839) and Shere Singh (1839-1844), rising to Colonel. He fought
against Dost Mohammed of Afghanistan in 1837 at Peshawar, and
commanded the Sikh troops with the British Afghan expedition in
1841. See the Times notice of 17th March 1888, which the

agreed in substance with the view I have taken ... in the
Hibbert [Journal] ... I consider the two books”, De

generation”, he will try to procure Sherard’s sketch, hoping
“it may not be boycotted too strictly”, Knockside, Dalry,

Walker’s article in the Hibbert for July 1905, ‘The Birth of a
Soul’, treats in depth of Wilde’s view, (shared, it seems
unwittingly, with Hegel and Browning), of the apparent
‘necessity’ of evil in order to produce the highest good. And ‘in
one respect, Wilde is unique. He not only taught this doctrine, but
he affords in his own person the most striking illustration of it’.
R.H. Sherard’s book, “Oscar Wilde: The story of an unhappy
friendship”, was privately printed in 1902, and had just appeared
for general sale. He talks in it of the “Artist, kindest of friends”,
and of his “delicacy of taste, always concealing the madness that
afflicted him. Let the pathologists decide”.

of evolution to ideas of social justice in powerful books on behalf

latter, Marchant supplied ‘The Life Story of the Author’, with a
very interesting account of their friendship and collaboration. In
1916 Marchant published Wallace’s biography.
Marchant was Secretary of the National Birth-Rate Commission,

Walsingham is best known for his network of spies at foreign
courts as far afield as Turkey, and for his detection of the
Babington plot to put Mary Queen of Scots on the throne. He
pressed Elizabeth constantly to support the protestants on the
Continent, but the Queen was too wary to sanction active
engagement there.
Sir Henry Cobham, (1538-c.1605), son of the 6th Lord Cobham,
had been to Spain twice before. On this occasion, in the autumn
of 1575, he sought religious toleration for English subjects
resident and travelling in Spain, and to offer to mediate between
Philip II and the Netherlands. Philip was immovable, but the
Duke of Alva was sufficiently alarmed at the threat of a rupture
beween the two countries to secure some relaxation for English
residents. On his return, Cobham was immediately dispatched to
Brussels, again to threaten war if the governor continued his
coercive measures.

After initial success against the French Revolutionary Army, the
Prince with his father and family had been compelled to retire to
England. He then moved to his father-in-law’s capital at Berlin,
where his chief concern was the fate of the Dutch troops who had
been pursued to Hanover, soon to be annexed by the French. He
took an active part in the Duke of York’s attempt to recover the
Netherlands, fought with Austria at Wagram, where he was
wounded, and was welcomed back by all factions when Holland
rose in revolt against the French in 1813.

family were travelling in the Imperial train and it was derailed for

could get out. The youngest, who is in her father’s arms in this
picture, (Olga), is meant to have run down the embankment,
saying “Now, they’ve come to kill us”. It is most unusual to get

Lord Combermere was 2nd in command at Salamanca, leading the
famous charge of Le Marchant’s and Anson’s Heavy Brigades, but
was wounded and sent home. His return passage took 28 days
and so he was 3 days late for the battle of Vitoria. In 1815
Wellington was annoyed that command of the Cavalry in Belgium
was given to Lord Uxbridge by the Prince Regent, who thought
that Combermere had gossiped at Brighton years before about
Mrs. Fitzherbert. Thus Combermere missed Waterloo but on the
very day after Wellington wrote, ‘We must have Lord
Combermere if he will come’ and he commanded the whole Allied
Cavalry in France 1815-1816. He was Commander-in-Chief,
Ireland, 1822-1825 and in India 1825-1830.

October Dickens was offered and accepted £20 a month as Editor
of the ‘Miscellany’, to appear from January 1837, and ‘Oliver
Twist’ appeared in it with Cruikshank’s illustrations. So great was
its success that Bentley raised his terms considerably, paying £750
for ‘Oliver Twist’, and offering £4000 for the second novel,

Bentley £2250 for the copyright of Oliver Twist and the remaining

647. ALLESSANDRI (Vincenzo degli) Relatione di

Ecc. mi Signori di Venetia delle cose da sui
osservate nel Regno di Persia, manuscript in neat
scribal hand, 27 pp. some occasional foxing,
watermark of a lion bearing a fleur de lys, folio,
modern boards, late sixteenth century
[CF8208] £3,500
Allessandri was an envoy from Venice to the court of Shah
Tahmasp, the rather weak ruler, from 1571-73. He begins
his account “I have now undertaken to give an account to
your most illustrious Government of the regions and
kingdoms which are in Persia, of the produce, of the
character of the people, of the person of the king, and
qualities of his mind, the government of the Court, the
manner and custom of determining the affairs of state, of
things of importance in the administration of justice, of
the revenue and expenditure, of the number and quality of
the Sultans, who are nothing but commanders of the
soldiery, and in fine of all that may appear to me to be
worthy of your greatness.”
Knolles in his History of the Turks, 1603, mentions
Allessandri and that he was sent to Persia to try to
persuade the Shah to take up arms against the Turks to
divert their attention from the lands of the Republic.
The Hakluyt Society edition of Allessandri in 1873 by
Charles Grey, appears deficient. Our manuscript
contains two lengthy passages, one of three pages, not to
mention several shorter pieces, omitted from Grey’s
edition. They concern accounts of crimes against foreign
merchants which went unpunished or were just ignored.
“As I have said, the King takes no care or thought, and
from this it comes that throughout the Kingdom the roads
are unsafe, and great dangers are incurred even in the
houses, and almost all the judges allow themselves to be
conquered by the power of money.”

This is a curious relic of Amundsen’s successful
Expedition [1910-12] to find the South Pole. The poem is
evidently addressed to a supply party who had provided
some luxuries of alcohol and tobacco. Roughly translated
it reads -
“To The 14

Not inToussaint and Adolphe.
This pamphlet is written with all the Victorian gusto of a
British Colonialist and is an attempt to warn new
Surveyors of conditions in the colony. It encompasses
everything from clothing and servants, to social functions
and allowances. “The ‘white french’ with a few
exceptions are notoriously disloyal, and there can be no
question that so long as the French language is generally
spoken this disloyalty will continue. The coloured creoles
are not disloyal at heart, but as their lives are spent aping
the French, they are slow to take any initiative. The
Indians are very loyal. Several of the daily newspapers
ought to be surpressed. They preach in French the
doctrines of disloyalty, and adopt the tone of the most
scurrilous of the French gutter press.”

Beddie 697. Toussaint D.96.
This Supplement to Bougainville, is the first French
account of Cooks first voyage, was pirated from the
unofficial account published by Becket in London a year
earlier. However this edition does contain two additions
not in the English editions. The first pp. 251-86, a letter
by Philibert Commerson who had accompanied
Bougainville. He was the naturalist who had collected a
colourful unkown plant and introduced it into Mauritius
and named it in honor of his Commander, Bougainvillaea.
He has been called the Father of Mauritian Botany. This
letter is about Madagscar, Réunion & Mauritius and
appears never to have been reprinted. The other by “M.
le B. de G. Au sujet de la possibilité d’un passage de la
mer duNord ou Océan atlantique, dans la mer du Sud ou
pacifique, par les mers septentrionales” pp. 287-362.
Beaglehole in his Textual Introduction to Cook’s First
Voyage presents from the handful of people who could
have written this Journal a remarkably tight case for
James Magra. Of the texts connected with this famous
first voyage, it is the only one that shows any animosity
towards Cook. It was recorded by Cook that he suspected
Magra of being behind an ugly prank on Richard Orton
the captain’s clerk, who one night in a blind stupor had
his clothes cut off him and parts of his ears amputated.
Cook dismissed Magra the Quarter deck “to show my
immediate resentment against the person on whome the
suspicion fell least they should not have stopped there.”
He later reinstated him.
Another pointer to the authorship is in the text referring to
New Zealand, mentions that there are “sweet potatoes,
like those of Carolina.” Magra was an American, born in
New York.
The first Becket and de Hondt edition was published in
London within two months of the return of the Endeavour
containing a flattering dedication to Banks and Solander,
but after protests this was withdrawn. The Dublin edition,
issued a year later, contains this surpressed dedication.

CHINESE BLOCK BOOK
727. CHINA. “Sheng-chi-t’ u” (Sage-footprints-picture)
Life of Confucius, Chinese Philosopher 551-479
B.C. large illustrated Block Book with 105 plates,
12 x 16¼ ins. with descriptions of between 24 and
120 characters, [iv] + 106 pp. yellow paper covers,
front with title within border, small tears repaired in
front and back cover, preserved in a box, 13th year
of the T’ung-chih Emperor, 1874 [11330] £1,450
The pictures descend at least from the Ming period, and
are very likely much older in design, though adapted by
successive artists to their view of Chinese scenery.
The anecdotes are chiefly from the Life of Confucius in
the Shi-chi, (Records of the Great Historian) by Ssu-ma
Ch’ien (145-86 B.C.) Book 47, supplemented by the Lunyü
(Analects of Confucius) and the Tso-Chüan
(Commentary of Tso on the Lü-shih chun-ch’iu, Spring
and Autumn Annals).
Page 1 bears portraits of Confucius and his disciple Yen-
Hui, page 2 shows his mother sacrificing to the hill Ni
before his birth, and on pages 4 and 6 the appearance of
the Ch’i-lin, a mythological creature, and other good
auspices. It then follows the young Confucius playing at
ritual and studying, his early employment as an overseer,
and learning to play music. Many illustrations show him
on his travels. On page 96 the Ch’i-lin appears to have
been killed by hunters, to Confucius’ great distress.
Finally on page 102 his disciples are pictured mouring at
his burial mound, and then the first Han Emperor and the
first North Sung Emperor paying homage at his shrine.
For the pictures, compare the much smaller edition of
1830, with different text and scenery but similar figures,
BL 15201.b.8 vol 1. For the text, compare the Life from
the Shi-Chi by Lin Yutang (in The Wisdom of Confuscius)
or by Richard Wilhelm (in Confucius and Confucianism,

The Bamboo Records were tablets that were said to have
been discovered in the tomb of King Siang, of Wei, which
had been plundered by robbers in AD 279. They
contained about 100,000 characters, and were deposited
in the Imperial Library by Wu Ti, the founder of the
Western Tsin Dynasty. There were 20 different works
with between 70 and 80 chapters.
“The Yellow Emperor whose dynastic title was Hsuan
Yuan. His mother’s name was Fu Pao.” These are the
opening words of this manuscript relating to the
“Legendary Period” of Chinese History, and appear to
relate to the period just before the Shang Dynasty,
commenced 1766 BC.
For peaceful emperors Phoenix would fly into their

Church, 306. The fifteenth volume of Hulsius’ collection
of voyages.
Inspite of the title page assertion that he was a Captain,
Coverte was a steward on the ship Ascension, together
with the ship the Union, made up the fourth voyage of the
East India Company. The other three voyages under
Lancaster in 1601, Middleton in 1604, and Keeling in
1607, had all been great successes. The voyage
commenced in 1608 under Capt. Alex Sharpey and after
the Union’s loss of mast in a storm of the Cape, she put in
to the bay of St. Augustine in the south west of
Madagascar for a refit. In the meantime the Ascension
went on to Mozambique and the Seychelles and was
wrecked near Surat. The ships company broke up and
Coverte took a route overland via Persia to England.
This was the first journey by an Englishman along this
route.

“KING” OF MADAGASCAR
780. [ELLIS (William)] An Original Glass Negative
Portrait of Rainilaiarivony (c.1828-1896) Prime
Minister of Madagascar from 1864-1895, and
Consort of three successive Queens of Madagascar,
8 x6ins, some scratching to the negative, chipping
to the right-hand edge, loss of a small section from
the lower right-hand edge not visible on the contact
print, c.1864 [11370] £1,750
William Ellis of the London Missionary Society, first
arrived in Madagascar in 1853, but was not allowed to
reach the capital. He retired to Mauritius for a while and
then made a second attempt with the same result. It was
not until 1856 that he was allowed back but only for a
month. Soon after this the Queen died and attitudes
towards Christianity changed. Ellis’s fourth, most
successful and productive visit began in 1861, not leaving
until 1865. There are a few images and glass negative
plates from the early visits, but superstition and hostility
to the camera made such pieces rare. The majority were
taken during the 4th visit.
The image shows Rainilaiarivony, in his late 30’s, seated
next to a table with a uniform elaborately braided,
particularly the sleeves, and covered in orders and
medals, befitting the Consort of a Queen. There is an
earlier photograph of him illustrated in the exhibition
catalogue “The Working of Miracles William Ellis
Photography in Madagascar 1853-1865” text by Simon
Peers, which shows a younger man, with a single
decoration, probably from the time he was private
secretary to the tyrant Queen Rainavalona. She died in
1861 and was succeeded by her son Radama II.
Rainilaiarivony was one of the leaders of the coup which
overthrew and killed the King in 1863. His Queen,
Rasoherina was placed on the throne and Rainilaiarivony
married her and her two successors Ranavalona II & III.
This made him in effect ruler of Madagascar. His policy,
throughout his long premiership, sought to preserve the
country from foreign encroachment and to maintain the
economic and social ascendency of the ruling oligarchy,
of which his family was a major part. Westernization was
permitted and Rainilaiarivony and his Queen became
converts to Christianity in 1869. His reforms included the
introduction of Cabinet Government whilst still handling
the most business himself. His personalisation and
centralisation of power led to difficulties for the Merina
State under constant pressure from the French. His later
years were marked with growing popular discontent and
court intrigues. After the French victory in the 2nd
Franco-Malagasy War in 1895, Rainilaiarivony was
exiled to Algiers where he died the following year.
Eventually his body was returned to Madagascar for
burial with his family.

strength of the precious mineral findings, but also to
report on the natives, their way of life, dress, settlements.

An Important Clerk Written Letter in French,

D’Entrecasteaux, famous for his voyage in search of La
Pérouse, was made Governor of the Mascarene Islands,
Bourbon & Isle de France, in February 1787. He was
particularly concerned to stabilise a highly inflated
economy and a government described as anarchic.
Because of the struggle for the China trade, between the
British and French, there was much anxiety in the Indian
Ocean.
“You will see also from the letter that my announcement
of an English Ambassador being sent to China and my
guess as to where he was likely to take up residence so as
to be closer to Peking, is also confirmed in a report made
by the Company’s Chief Officers. A new factor of this
importance can only hide all kinds of major schemes in
the eyes of a country whose inhabitants are so slavishly
attatched to their traditions and who are frightened by the
slightest change. There can be no doubt that the British
intend to ask for major concessions for their trade which
they can rightly claim as twice as important as that of all
the other countries put together; further more and more
significantly, they will ask to be allowed to set up their
colony somewhere on the coast... The obvious proof of
what the British have in mind is shown by their actions
concerning the supplies of tea that they have been
stockpiling and now have over a years supply: they are
doubtless aware that their requests may not be very
popular with the Chinese, and fearing an interruption in
trade while negociations last, have provided themselves
with a powerful bargaining position.” Because of great
difficulties in his administration and his desire to return to
sea, he was relieved in November, 1789.

884. JAMES (Edwin) ALS to Oliveira, concerning his
meeting with Garibaldi 4 pp. 8vo, signs of mounting,

“Amidst the enthusiasm of the whole population
Garibaldi entered this city yesterday, I was with him &
had gone to join him at Eboli... & had two interviews with
him... No pen can describe the enthusiasm of the people
her but Ifear excess on the part of the people. We go on
to Rome at once - a provisional Government will be
formed at once & the feeling of the people for Annexation
to Piedmont is strong.”
Having conquored Sicily, Garibaldi & his Risorgimento
forces entered Naples on the 7th of September 1860. He
then declared himself Dictator of the Two Sicilies and
after a battle on the Volturno, he held a plebiscite which
enabled him to offer this part of a United Italy to Victor
Emmanuel II of Piedmont Sardinia.
Edwin John James (1812-82) barrister and sometime
actor, engaged for the Palmer poisoning case of 1856 and
in the trial of Dr. Bernard for conspiring with Orsini to
assasinate Napoleon III in 1858. In the autumn of 1860
he visited Garibaldi’s camp and was present at the
skirmish of Capua, and was a champion of his cause in
England.

In 1881, after the assassination of Alexander II, a large
number of Revolutionaries were exiled to the mines of
Trans-Baikál. Coupled with the fact that a large number
of Revolutionaries or Nihilists of the events of 1878-79
were also in the region gave Kennan the spur to study the
Siberia and its imported inhabitants. As he says in his
preface “to the average American... it was almost as much
aterra incognita as central Africa or Tibet.” He lived for
two and a half years there and travelled extensively with a
letter of authority from the Minister of the Interior without
which, hinderance from Police and Local Officials would
have made his investigation impossible. He states that he
was well disposed towards the Russian State, but from his
account he has much sympathy with the exiles and their
oppression.

March, 1865 [11073] £2,250
Concerning his journey and recent book The Zambesi and
its Tributaries. “I send you a piece of proof which having
looked over you will return quick & a separate slip saying
page so & so - line so & so is nonsense or anything you
like to say.” He refers to the incident on the Expedition
which led to the withdrawal of funds from the University
Missions. When attacked by hostile natives, Waller and
other members of the Expedition had opened fire. Against
the wishes ofBishop Mackenzie of Natal, the support of
the University Missions was withdrawn after criticism in
Oxford by Pusey. “In another part when saying that the
bishop had the votes of his party I add ‘who had been
previously as much opposed to hostilities as himself’.” He
jokes with Waller about his reception by the Manganja
tribe “How dreadfully you must have stank when the
Manganja asked if you had no soap Ugh!!”. He mentions
the reluctance of the Webbs of Newstead Abbey, to let him
go.

October, 1911 [11155] £120
Guthrie, Scottish Senator of the College of Justice in
Scotland, is returning the manuscript report “of my
Lovedale Address... it really required nothing to be done
to it. It is a most admirable record from memory, and
wonderful.” He continues “I am re-reading Blaikie’s
Life of Livingstone which I bought at Lovedale. One is
struck by the emphasis with which he proclaimed in
season and out of season, that the Christianization and
civilization of the African must be achieved by native
agency, and that that agency must be trained by white
men and white women.” He continues with news of
Livingstone’s relatives “We were sorry to hear at Cape
Town from W. Moffat Livingstone’s brother-in-law, that
Mrs Livingstone Bruce, his niece, who gave us an
introduction to him has had a stroke of paralysis which
has affected her memory. She is the “Agnes” of
Livingstone’s letters, an able women, with a great look of
her father.”
Dr. Robert Anderson, who was assistant Commissioner of
Police at the time of the Jack the Ripper Murders, was
presumably engaged with Guthrie on behalf of the
Glasgow Missionary Society’s Lovedale Training College
at Alice.

960. MAURITIUS. AFine Oil Painting on Copper of
“Paul et Virginie”, she with her head on his
shoulder, with a dog seated at their feet, with banana
and other palms, a small spring gushing out of some
rocks, 10 x 8 ins. in remarkably fine condition with
original frame, glazed, c.1820 [11100] £2,450
Bernadin de Saint-Pierre’s famous work “Paul et
Virginie”, first published in Paris in 1787, and first
published in English in 1823, was so popular that it gave
rise to a lot of popular art depicting the hero and heroine.
In England Staffordshire figures depicting him giving her
a birds nest, and paintings, in France series of
engravings, and small tea plates, depict this romantic &
tragic Mauritian couple.
The simple, but sad tale tells of two mothers resorting to
the Isle de France ( Mauritius) to bring up their
illegitimate children. The children are brought up
together in a wonderful paradise, and later fall deeply in
love. A rich aunt in Paris summons Virginie to see her,
and Paul pines for her return, and after two years he
hears of the imminent arrival of her ship the “St. Gerain”.
On its arrival near the north east coast of the island is
wrecked. A naked black sailor begs Virginie to strip off
her clothes and allow herself to be saved. However her
modesty and newly acquired Parisian mores, make her
determined to perish with honour. Paul is distraught on
finding her body on the beach and later dies of grief.
Such was the effect on the European public that they
travelled to this Paradise Island to view the graves of the
legendary couple. It was not until the 19th century that
the administration of the island realised the importance of
erecting graves as a focus for the tourists. St.Pierre is
often credited with being the first to excite tourists to visit
the island.

The Moravian Church, which has its origins in the 15th
century Hussite movement in Bohemia and Moravia, came
to London in 1734 en route to North American Mission
work. They were associated with John and Charles
Wesley, but on the foundation of Methodism which
became a mass movement, they dwindled to 40
congregations, about 5000 members. Publications about
their Mission works are rare. These reports are from
Missions in Antigua, Australia, Jamaica, Labrador,
Surinam, Kaffraria, Greenland, St. Kitts, Barbados, &
Lahoul near Tibet.

one side, uneven patina, c.1700 [11114] £1,850
Amost unusual example of native art being used for an
article of european use. This well worn goblet must have
been made at the instigation of a Portuguese Trader or
Merchant for his wife or paramoor, the name around the

rim”. The history of the Portuguese in East Africa dates
back to the visit of Vasco da Gama in 1502. There was a
period of stagnation when Spain and Portugal had a joint
sovereign in the 17th century, but there was towards the
end ofthat century an increase in trade and missionary
activity from Portugal.

George Kingsley, brother of Charles “Waterbabies”
Kingsley, and father of the redoubtable Mary Kingsley,
was a compulsive traveller. As a doctor his advice or
treatment to his rich clients was “a change of air and
foreign travel” accompanied by their doctor. Kingsley
had married his housekeeper one month before their first
child, Mary, was born. His constant travelling kept him
from home for years on end, sending home epistles which,
far from quelling his wife and daughters anxieties about
his safety, added to them. This work is of his travels and
shipwreck with Lord Pembroke in the Pacific, Tahiti,
Bora-Bora, Raritonga, & Samoa.

found on arrival in Babylon, 4 pp. folio, some
creases strengthened, a little soiled, Bagdad, 13th
August, 1823 [10732] £250
The Bishop on arrival to take up office in Babylon found
his see usurped by “A Carmelite friar, as a vicar
apostolic, caused me a lot of trouble as a result of his
constant quibbling. The good man said he did not
recognise any kind of authority over his community, that
he was not called to obey his Superior as a matter of
course, and that he could stay on in Bagdad if he wanted
to...” The matter was resolved when the Pasha of Mosul
invited the turbulent priest to practise medecine there.
Concerning the war he writes “The unrest which has
afflicted the Ottoman Empire, and which indeed continues
to do so, has not reached us. The city of Bagdad is still
enjoying peace and prosperity. There is a war against
Persia, but this is going on in the frontier regions some 50
leagues away from us. Until now the Turks have had the
advantage.” On spiritual matters he reports that the
Turks “steal some Christian souls who were so poor that
they were forced to abjure their faith in order to eat, and
this is a great source of sorrow to me. As I have hardly
enough for my self, I am in no position to help them or
save them from such an appalling fate.” It is interesting
to note that the Ottomans tolerated a Christian
Community in their midst

18th Century, his work in the fields of philosophy and
science are particularly noteworthy. He lived here on the
Green in Calne for seven years during his time as the Earl
of Shelburne’s Librarian. Here he “discovered” Oxygen,

and the construction of the desert railway from Damascus
to Medina and Mecca, are factors of supreme interest and

the Bedawin and thier country, the cradle of Islam, more
prominently before the notice of the Christian world.”

Cochineal is a natural red dye-stuff made from the female
insect Dactylopius coccus, a cactus eating insect found in
Mexico and Peru. It was introduced into Europe by the
Spanish from Mexico, where it had been used long before
their conquest by Cortés in 1521. Before this time, reds,
used in dye and paint had been provided for by the
Kermes beetle, used by the Egyptians, a colour far inferior
to Cochineal. The trade in Cochineal proved a
tremendous asset to the Spanish, and revolutionised
Artists pallettes across Europe.

[11056]£150
This is not the same translation as the first English
translation of 1775.
Saint Pierre arrived in Mauritius in 1768 with a group of
Military Engineers en route for Madagascar. Having
fallen out with his commander, he preferred to stay there.
He met the ageing Pierre Poivre, Intendant of the Island,
and his lovely young wife with whom he fell in love. It is
said that he played Paul to her Virginie. However there
was the inevitable quarrel and Saint Pierre left the island
in 1770. The first edition of this work appeared in 1773
and became a great success bringing the author a hefty
pension. His tragic, romantic novel about the island
“Paul et Virginie” was published in 1789. It has been
said that Saint Pierre with this novel was single handedly
responsible for the start of the Mauritian Tourist Trade.
Saint Pierre married in 1793 Félicité Didot, daughter of
the famous printer and had a son and daughter, Paul and
Virginie.

street literature. The idea of getting rich quickly and its

of Gordon. It was not until after Sir Reginald Wingate

Afascinating document, in an attractive clerk hand, and a
masterpiece of a concise agreement, down to the cost of
drying and gathering the sheets when run off. In an
autograph addition, Sonnerat agrees that Pierres is to
take 9 extra copies at the subscription price, as well as the
2allowed him "by the regulations".
In the first slip Sonnerat asks that 62 quartos on holland
paper, be given to "the bearer to allow time to have them
bound", presumably the most expensive of the
subscription copies.

“Rattlesnake’s” job was to survey the Torres Straits
between Cape York and New Guinea. The death of his
father was the final straw which lead to the death of
Captain Owen Stanley. The pressure of his work and the
severity with which he took his responsibilities, refusing to
delegate, led to his early death at the age of 39 in March
1850.

Stead was an agent for C.J. Skeggs & Co. who advertised
themselves as “Public Silk Inspectors and Commission
Agents” operating from Shanghai. The silk industry of
Shanghai grew up during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)
when 70 percent of the cultivated acreage was given over
to the production of silk and cotton. By the middle of the
18th century there were more than 20,000 people
employed as Spinners. After 1842 and the Chinese defeat
by the British, the city was, under the Treaty of Nanking,
opened up to Foreign Trade. Shanghai soon became
China’s leading Port. By 1860 it accounted for about 25
percent of the total Shipping Tonnage entering and
leaving the country. The average turnover at this time, of
Chinese Silk was in excess of £15 million. In 1884
Skegg’s & Co in a circular, estimate that that seasons
crop would run to 60,000 bales of raw silk. However the
trade declined towards the end of the century, giving way
to a more industrial base.

to be captured by Gesslers soldiers, and the other, three
“Der Schweizerband” swearing and oath. The city views
are of Geneva, Montreux, Lugano and Berne. Every view
has the brightness and freshness of the day it was made,
having been protected in an album, not exposed to light or
dust. Also with the canvas sack the binding has received
minimal wear and has the brightness it had when it was
bound.

The Bon religion of ancient Tibet still exists as a sect with
its own distinct practices, such as perambulating sacred
objects counter-clockwise. It retains more shamanistic
elements from the pre-Bhuddist era, associated with
spirits, exorcism and demons, but has absorbed much
from Bhuddism to create a fully-fledged system, often with
its own alternative philosophical terminology. The
"language of the gods" is the dialect of Zhang-zhung
(Shang-shung), an ancient kingdom in Western Tibet,
where the Bon school originated, and "the language of
men", classical Tibetan. Mount Kailash is revered as the
place where Shen-rab alighted from heaven.

A Short Sutra is a condensed saying of the Buddha in
mnemonic form. A Long Sutra, as here, contains extended
teaching with perhaps the occasion of the teaching and its
discussion.
The Boddhisatva Ksitigarbha is "little more than a name
in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism" but "in East Asia ... is
extremely important" with "a sacred mountain ... Chiuhua
in An-hwei province. According to the [present]
sutra, almost certainly composed in Central Asia,
Ksitigarbha was given the particular task of saving
sentient beings ... between the death of Sakyamuni and the
coming of Maitreya". In China Ksitigarbha is associated
with rituals for saving one's relatives from hell, and in
Japan also with the welfare of children, pregnant women
and travellers (Paul Williams).

1131.TIBET. THE PERFECTION OF WISDOM IN
8000 LINES
BUDDIST MAHAYANA SCRIPTURE Fine
Manuscript in Tibetan of Volume 1 (of 2) of 'The
Perfection of Wisdom in 8000 Lines', the oldest text
of the Mahayana tradition, on large paper 7¼" x
22½" (18.5cm x 57cm), the title leaves on blue
paper (ff. 1 and 2) beautifully presented, f.1a blank
as usual, f.1b has a quadruple silk curtain revealing
the opening words "In the Indian language" in gold ,
between seated figures of Shakyamuni (the present
Buddha) and Maitreya (the future Buddha), in
orange robes with green haloes, under the right is in
tiny gold letters "rgyal-ba'i rgyal-tshab byam-pa
mgon", "Of the most high the would-be most high,
Jampa [Maitreya] the Protector", all in a mount of
blue and black strap work edgedingold, the mount
made of 6 layers of paper (now a little soft and
beginning to open), f.2a and f.2b have even more
elaborate borders, the text again flanked by figures
in colour, on f.2a seated, (that on the right with eyes
on the palms, soles and forehead), on f.2b standing.
The text continues in black on buff paper, generally
8 lines to a side, with either one or two lines in red to
guide the eye, uchen script in 21 further hands , last
leaf frayed without loss, signs of use throughout but
overall a very attractive copy, complete of Volume
1, probably 18th or early 19th century.
[11234]£2,000
The manuscript contains the first 12 (of 24) bam-po
(roughly equal units of text), corresponding to chapters 1-
11 and part of 12 (of 32). Leaves numbered [1,2]-248,
with 1a and 248b blank. Volume edge-mark 'ka' (1). The
beginnings of bam-po and the ends of chapters are noted
in the usual way. New hands at ff. 3, 4b line 3, 17, 30, 43,
56, 67, 68, 79, 81, 94, 109, 123a, 123b, 136, 149, 161,
162, 175, 190, 204 and 219, usually marked by secondary
numbering. Those at 190 and 209 are the same, but
apparently the rest are distinct and all share the merits of
writing the volume.
The Sanskrit title reads "A'rya asta sa'ha srika' pradznya'
pa'ramita' ", the Tibetan title " 'phags-pa shes-rab-kyi
pha-rol-thu phyin-pa brgyad-stong-pa" (Wylie
transcriptions). Both mean "The noble approach to the
other side [Nirvana] of the highest wisdom in 8000
[lines]". (A line or shloka contains 32 syllables).
Edward Conze wrote in 1955: "The literature on Perfect
Wisdom, vast, deep and vital to an understanding of the
Mahayana, has so far been rather neglected by Western
students. The literary form ... is alien ... while their
doctrine conflicts with the assumptions of practical men

extended over about 1,000 years ... the oldest text is the
Perfection of Wisdom in 8,000 Lines . Some parts

and defeat it", and, while seeking Nirvana, to replace
Nirvana as "an object of desire". The consideration of

1132.TIBET. THE SUTRA OF THE GREAT
LIBERATION
BUDDHIST MAHAYANA SCRIPTURE Fine
Manuscript in Tibetan of the 'Mahamoksha Sutra', in
the elegant hand of the Abbot of gYer-gShong
(Yershong) Monastery (in Rebkong County, East
Tibet, founded in 1696) The present copy was taken,
according to the Colophon, from the copy printed in
the earth-bird year (of the 60-year cycle, therefore
perhaps 1729), the 8th month (September), at the
dGal'-dan Phun-tshogs gLing (Ganden Phuntsoling),
that is, the Old Parkhang or Printing House to the SE
of the Potala in Lhasa. The Abbot was sponsored by
the gelong (bhikshu, fully ordained monk) dGe-'dun
Chos-grags, by the gift of a white scarf.
The complete text . The MS lacks only its original
first leaf, which will have had its outside blank, its
inside bearing the usual words "In the Indian
language". These introduce the Sanskrit title on the
first side present, followed by the Tibetan title. Both
read "The noble mahayana sutra, entitled: Progress
towards the Great Liberation, so as to assure oneself
of full Buddhahood by purification from sin through
true repentance".
The Sanskrit Title is flanked by two seated figures
of monks, painted in orange, red, gold and black ,
against a simple blue and green background, one
apparently reading from a volume cradled in his arm,
the other holding his begging bowl. Each has a halo
which continues down each side, apparently bearing
fragmentsoftext.
Beautifully written in uchen script, 5 lines to the
side, silver on black framed in crimson, the paper
coloured blue except at the left and right ends. The
3 opening sides are in fine larger letters so as to use
2, 3 and 4 lines respectively, and are heightened in
gold .
Leaves numbered [2]-130 and 133-146 in Tibetan
but with no loss of text. Last outer side blank.
Volume edge-mark 'ka' (1).
Opening leaf a little rubbed. Last leaf frayed in
marginswithout loss.
The Colophon, beginning at f. 144b-2, states that the
translation was made definite by Abbot Jinamitra of
India and by the great reviser and translator the
Venerable Ye-shes-sde. Then follow the details
(above) which continue the colophon of the block
print. f. 145a, b is a prayer added by the scribe of
the manuscript, whose own colophon ends on f.146a
with the statement about the sponsor.
With a yellow cloth cover, bearing a bright diamond
patch of red and gold thread, and an attached tape of
florets in red, green and gold.

The Sanskrit title reads "Arya ganadza' maha' bhritsa
phulu dkarma abhirna sho dha ya'bhu dhara bhuha
na'ma maha'yana sutra", and the Tibetan " 'phags-pa

sbyangs-te sangs-rgyas-su grub-par rnam-par bkod-pa
zhes-bya-ba theg-pa chen-po'i mdo" (Wylie
transcriptions). The traditional length of the text is 712
shlokas (2 bam-po 112 shlokas), but there is no internal
division into chapters or into bam-po.

In this Volume (concluded in Volume 13), Upâli, the
traditional compiler of the 'Dulwa, puts special cases to
the Buddha (Sakyamuni), to learn to what class of
transgression they belong, or whether they are permitted
by the law. Upâli addresses him as 'btsun-pa',
'venerable'. Sakya replies, for example, 'nyes-byas', 'a
wicked action' or 'ltung-pa' 'a moral fall'.
