Minuted by Lady Napier: 'Cambridge Novr. 1838’. 64 lines of neatly-written text. He greets his mother as ‘My dear Mamma’ and begins by expressing delight at the arrival of his sister Maria on the previous day ‘though it happened at rather an unfortunate time for my occupations. I am glad to see her looking so very well and wearing her curls but I miss you very much and I wish you had been able to come along with them.’ Despite the fact that ‘Cambridge is particularly wet & dirty’ Maria and ‘Hubbard’ Maria had married John Hubbard the future Lord Addington in 1837 breakfasted with him that morning. ‘Sedgwick and we sat talking till Church time when we got squeezed into St Mary’s and heard Melville preach much worse than usual.’ The letter proceeds with references to ‘Whewell’ Trinity Chapel ‘Thorp’ ‘the Philosophical society’ ‘Ld & Lady Fitzalan’ ‘Lucy’ Lady Kinlock. He reports that ‘Cambridge was very much shocked by the Duke of Wellington's reported stroke and delighted to hear it was only a cold.’ Turning to personal matters he writes: ‘Maria is very much cut up about her cook who after appearing to be a pattern of culinary morality for some months has turned out a peculating thief besides having had several children in the house which she clandestinely conveyed out of the way in the dirty clothes basket’. One of Sedgwick’s dog’s five puppies is mousing for him. ‘Maria says that Sir Alexander has at last gone north and high time it was for I see Mr Ewart has gone down to stand for the boroughs he has been petting so long through Patrick.’ He ends by mentioning ‘Sir Thomas misfortunes whiuch are so very hard upon his old age but Maria declares that he seems to bear it very cheerfully.’ He concludes: ‘I write this dull letter late at night dear Mother it is only to announce Maria’s happy arrival and I intend to despatch a longer one to 9. this week. Lady Fitz. is pale and plain & Maria cust her out.’ The letter is signed ‘Napier / Trin. Coll. Sunday 12 o’clock’. ‘Trin. Coll. Sunday 12 o’clock’.

[Lord Napier] Francis Napier (1819-1898), 10th Lord Napier of Merchistoun and 1st Baron Ettrick, acting Viceroy of India [Admira
‘We are a sort of Brahmins’. Lord Napier as British Ambassador to the Hague. Long private Autograph Letter Signed ‘Napier’ to Sir George Elliot discussing the ‘malignant atmosphere’ in Constantinople Sir Hamilton Seymour and diplomacy itself.
‘The Hague / November 28th. 1860’. An excellent letter in which a serving Victorian ambassador discusses the nature of diplomacy and gives a vivid assessment of his former superior Sir Hamilton Seymour whom he jokingly characterizes ‘the great Elchee’. See both men’s entries in the Oxford DNB. 7pp 4to. On two bifoliums. In good condition lightly aged and with creases from folding into a packet. Minuted on reverse of last leaf. Addressed to ‘The Honble. George Elliot’ he received his KCB in 1862 and headed ‘Private’. Beginning on the subject of his brother-in-law Henry Lockwood 1825-1882 Napier writes: ‘My dear Elliott Many thanks for your kind letter informing me that Lord John Russell had moved Lockwood from Constantinople to Stockholm. It must be in many respects a great advantage to Lockwood and he will be very grateful to Lord John for the change. I hope that my brother in Law did not incur any blame from being involved in the dissensions of the Constantinople Embassy. I do not know all the circumstances indeed I have heard one side much more than the other. The malignant atmosphere of the place could not have been more strikingly shewn than in a musunderstanding between a most amiable Minister and a very devoted and agreeable subordinate. Such at least was Lumley to Sir Hamilton when I knew him.’ Napier had served as first secretary to Sir Hamilton Seymour in St Petersburg with John Lumley-Savile the future Lord Savile as second secretary. Napier considers Lumley as secretary to the Constantinople ambassador Sir Henry Bulwer is in Napier’s view ‘most in the wrong. Bulwer has a natural fondness for the twilight in business matters and this fanciful partiality for secrecy and winding may have led him to keep some things close from his Secretary’. After a comment on Lords Cowley and Shatford he continues: ‘The great Elchee never gave me a key or shewed me a Dispatch but when I wanted to know anything I would go to his room and talk to him about George Canning or the greek Revolution; or Sophocles or the Emperor Nicholas. Shaking such provocations in the face of that furious genius he would rowse up and open the flood gates of his conversation one thing led on another and at length he had disburdened himself of the past the present and the future. I was young and liked the humour of the thing besides I admired the old man angry so intense so handsome so austere so like Cato outside. And we cannot deny them generous sympathies and great services. Cowley Henry Wellesley 1st Earl Cowley who had been Minister Plenipotentiary was older and more than even on a foot of equality. He could not ever abide him. In fact your Secretary seems the natural enemy of his Chief. Please God I may not find it so if I ever become an Ambassador.’ Over two pages he discusses the ‘most just and wise regulations’ of the Foreign Office and what may happen ‘if your Ambassador is as wild as Nebuchadnezar and your Secretary not as discreet as Daniel’ before continuing: ‘You must have observed that Diplomacy is becoming a caste that we are a sort of Brahmins. Every man has a son in the possession. The diplomatic qualities will become progressive and hereditary. The Children will be wiser than their fathers. I have myself a son who is as smooth as Jacob and who never smiles unless he meets another young augur.’ He jokes: ‘You must be prepared to have an application soon for an unpaid attachéship. My second son is turbulent. I intend him for a naval reformer. I suppose your brother Henry has some of the same.’ This leads to a discussion of Elliot’s wider family the Mintos and the jesting reproach: ‘You are allowing Elcho and The Duke of Argyle to run away with the sympathies of Scotland. This must not be. There will not be a piece of bannock left in the land for a true Whig.’ ‘The Hague / November 28th. 1860’. unknown

Large Folio bound in contemporary calf. xii 253 15 A Table 1 pp. A well worn copy lacking the 5 map and the double-page or folding plates the text block and textual engravings all well preserved the paper crisp and unpressed some of the usual mellowing and evidence of age or use and old worm track to the bottom blank area of the leaves again not obtrusive the "Directions to the Binder" leaf not present at the end of the volume otherwise collated complete. FIRST EDITION. John Ogilby was a Scottish translator impresario publisher and cartographer. Ogilby established Ireland's first theatre in Werburgh Street Dublin and following the Restoration that country's first Theatre Royal. Ogilby played a significant part in arrangements for the coronation of King Charles II. Following the Great Fire of 1666 Ogilby's large-scale map of the City of London was founded on precise survey work and his Britannia is the first road atlas of England and Wales to be based on surveys and measurements and drawn to scale. <br> During the Great Fire of London in 1666 Ogilby's house in Shoe Lane together with its printing works and most of his stock was destroyed; he estimated he had lost Å3000. After the Great Fire the Corporation of London appointed Ogilby and his wife's grandson William Morgan as "sworn viewers" members of a group of four trustworthy gentlemen directed by Robert Hooke to plot disputed property in the city. Ogilby later made what he called "the most accurate Survey of the City of London and Libertyes therof that has ever been done". By 1668 he had a new house in Whitefriars and was ready to resume his printing and publishing work.<br> Ogilby's next major venture was a series of atlases of China Japan Africa Asia and America. The first of these was An Embassy from the East India Company of the United Provinces to the Grand Tartar Cham Emperor of China which was published in 1689. This book was substantially a translation of Johan Nieuhof's Dutch publication of the same name with English copies of the Dutch engravings. Ogilby's Africa appeared in 1670 and was followed in rapid succession by Atlas Japanennsis 1670 America 1671 Atlas Chinensis 1671 and Asia 1673. In 1671 in response to his proposal to make a detailed survey and atlas of Great Britain the King appointed Ogilby Royal Cosmographer. Thus at about the age of 70 and with the scientific advice of Robert Hooke58 Ogilby began work on Britannia the project for which he is best known among cartographers.

[PHOTOGRAPHY - INDIA - HUNTING].
Photograph album showing hunting society in Britsh India.
Cambridge Mumbai New Delhi: Scott & Wilkinson Clifton & Co Hamilton Studios and Kinsey Bros. 1933. Oblong half morocco photograph album by W. Johnson & sons London. With 105 photographs mounted in the album ranging from 16 x 28 cm to 4 x 6 cm 2 photographs loosely inserted and a watercolour mounted at the back 11.5 x 21 cm. Unique photograph album showcasing the vigorous "fox" hunting scene in British India in the early 1930s particularly around Delhi. Most of the photographs show members of the British upper class in India often mounted on horses or posing for a group photograph and accompanied by hounds. The album contains no titles captions or inscriptions and the photographs do not seem to figure recurring individuals which suggests that it was probably compiled to commemorate the hunting and or riding club and its activities in the early 1930s. Numerous photographs show groups of mostly men posing with hounds at lunches and possibly a hunt ball or mounted on horses at jumping events and even a few cup trophies. The very first photograph is by Scott & Wilkinson in Cambridge active before 1933 and was therefore probably taken in England. The other inscribed photographs are by Clifton & Co. and Hamilton Studios from Bombay and Kinsey Bros. which started in New Delhi in 1935.British life in India mirrored life in native Britain and included popular equestrian activities such as hunting. Starting in the second half of the 19th century foxhounds were imported from Britain and subsequently bred in India. Regiments and brigades kept their own packs but at the beginning of the 20th century these had morphed into local hunts. Hounds were kept at over 12 hunting clubs which included Delhi Meerut Narbuda Vale Jaora Poona Bombay Bangalore Ooty Madras Lahore Quetta Peshawar and Karachi. Although the Indian silver fox was sometimes hunted the most common prey was the golden jackal.A different type of hunting popular in India was pig sticking: the chase of a wild boar on horseback with the spear. Several photographs in the album show pig sticking parties either posing or in action and sometimes accompanied by spectators on elephants. In contrast to the jackal-hunt parties the pigstick groups are composed of more military looking men and also include Indian men as opposed to the British-only hound groups.Most photographs show the area around Delhi and include a hunt near Shah Alam's Tomb. A photograph of this event is loosely inserted in the album and dated 1933/34 on the back. Other photographs show the Rashtrapati Bhavan one group shows the Earl later Marquess of Willingdon India's Governor-General from 1931 to 1936. Two images show the monumental Gateway of India completed in 1924 in Bombay Mumbai which can also be seen in an aerial photograph. Several photographs show what is probably the airfield at Karachi as it shows two airplanes loading mail on apparently the first voyage of the Indian Transcontinental Airways. Imperial Airways liner "Hanno" departing from Croydon had left for Karachi on 1 July 1933 via Bahrain and Sharjah. In Karachi the cargo was transferred to the Transcontinental airliner "Arethusa" as can be seen on the photographs.It is unclear why only half of the album was used. It is possible the compiler transferred to Kut in British Mesopotamia Kut al-Imara in modern Iraq. A watercolour on the final page of the album is captioned "A river bank north of Kut".Binding slightly rubbed and worn at the edges. Album leaves foxed throughout but most of the photographs in very good condition. The paper of the large photograph of the group near Shah Alam's Tomb is heavily damaged at the top and left side but the image itself is undamaged. A unique collection of British-Indian hunting photographs in very good condition.l Cf. Hamid "Riding with the Peshawar Vale hunt" thefridaytimes.com; Hunt "Delhi" in: Ten cities that made an empire; "1933 Eastwards: Karachi to Calcutta" indianairmails.com; Lucas Hunt and working terriers pp. 116-120; Mitter et al.

He was celebrated for his architectural drawings. There is a picture of the "Chateau des Voisins" now the BNP Paribas campus. and then a series of images of tea at the Fornier's where the visitors pose with a massive bomb shell presumably to emphasize the fire power of the French.
