‎LT SIGNALMAN ALEXANDER MCGILL‎

‎1914 - 1919 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A ROYAL NAVY VOLUNTEER RESERVE RNVR SIGNALMAN DEDICATED TO HIS NEWBORN DAUGHTER WHO WOULD ONE DAY SOON ENOUGH CHERISH HER FATHER'S BRILLIANT INTIMATE RETELLING OF HIS NAVAL SERVICE AGAINST GERMANY‎

‎RMS TEUTONIC RMS CEDRIC RMS ORVIETO NORTH SEA. Good. 1914. On offer is a superb original manuscript relic of Britain's World War I efforts against the German Navy mostly in the Northern Patrol and North Sea areas. The large folio Signalman's book used as a diary was handwritten by Lieutenant Signalman Alexander McGill of the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve RNVR. This super work provides historians and researchers of the Royal Navy during WWI a unique perspective with a truly intimate finely detailed account of one man's service from December 8th 1914 through to January 27th 1919 on some very significant ships to the war effort. What raises this narrative from a simple diary of events is that McGill was communicating to his newly born daughter of his newly consecrated marriage. He married Agnes Beatrice Shaw on shore leave in February 1915 and they had a daughter called Edna D. McGill born March 1916. The book begins with a charming dedication to 'Miss Edna McGill' from 'Daddy Signalman' and there is little doubt in reading that his purpose was to describe with the utmost clarity his life and service likely with the thought that he might not survive the War. We do note that ironically he survived the War but died a decade later. Adding even more depth to this remarkable work are several hand drawn illustrations and maps detailing actions and positions at significant events like the Battle of Jutland. Here are some snippets: Upon arrival at the Cedric 8th Dec he says: 'It was a shame to see all her fancy woodwork inside being scrapped just leaving the shipside cabins and a few amidships'; he lists the structure of the company on board and names the officers he also lists the daily routine hour by hour throughout the diary there's a lot of stuff about the patrols who they board and who gets escorted under armed guards to Kirkwall. Target practices fun games and entertainment moments of action and possible action. 'We boarded an American steamer.and sent her to Kirkwall. Her crew Yankees were very glad we had captured them as they were feared of the mines in the North Sea. This ship was let go by the Govt but did bump a mine and sunk'; 'Two of our ships were completely lost in the late storm. HMS Clan McNaughton and Viknor. All hands lost about 400 each also 12 officers and 120 men German reservists being taken in on the Viknor. No word or anything to show what happened in either case'; 'I have some good fun in spare time now quite a clique of us get together and play a foo-foo band etc. some band cardboard instruments ha ha ha in fact if you could have suddenly seen us you would think you were amongst a lot of loonies'; 'We left Mersey at midnight.I felt very sad leaving this time after getting married to your darling mother 21st February being the fateful day'; 'We passed one of our dummy battleships i.e. a merchant ship made up to look like the Dreadnought King George V have wooden guns etc. she did look like the K.G.V. until very close indeed'; 'Intercepted a message saying 'Bravo well done Teutonic' we believe she has captured a big prize off the Norway coast a German merchant ship'; 'Quite a lot of strong language being used freely over Lusitania having been torpedoed'; 'Report from HMS India that a torpedo just missed her. It looks as if a submarine attack is being made upon on this patrol.Orotava sighted submarine but she too far off. Things are very warm just now eh!' Re-coaling takes place at Busta Voe Shetland and he draws and describes the chain gate with anti-sub nets blocking the entrance to the bay. There is also regular mention throughout the diary of how quickly they can shift the coal onto the ship quoting tonnage and time taken. 'We left Liverpool 9th dec 1915 on way out passed largest ship afloat 'Britannic' on her maiden trip. She is a hospital ship and looked fine with yellow funnels and grey sides with large red crosses'. 20th January 1916 the crew leave the Cedric northern patrol - patrol A and continue on northern patrol patrol B on the Teutonic. 'I witnessed a bitter fight between two seamen on the mess both stripped a bit unequal but after a severe mauling the smaller man put his man to sleep'; 'Search being made for a seaman. No trace of him so he must have committed suicide. He was very despondent during trip. His newly married wife been false while he has been away so much so as to give him the disease from which he was suffering when he went over the side'. 'Heard that a Cunard Steamer Thracia had been sunk off the Isle of Man'. 'The ships firemen mercantile marine reserve men refused to work citing they wanted merchant steamer food and not navy rations. The Admiral of the Port Steinman was called and he brought 50 armed guards with him. He called each man out and asked if he would do his duty or not. 8 refused and were marched off the ship to face a court martial. It was held on HMS Victorious 2 weeks later. Mcgill lists all attending and states: 'The court martial lasted 35 minutes sentence of 2 years each in detention Gaol Devonport. Admiral Tupper came on board a few days after and gave them a speech on about not grumbling too much and doing their duty.' 'Our wireless staff busy news of a German raider disguised as an English steamer trying to get through also a few submarines operating round the Shetlands. We being in charge have altered all patrols to 60 miles further west.' Mcgill lists the names of boats and ships intercepted in patrol and all the ships in the northern patrol including tonnage guns and max knots. Many officers are also named. 'Another of our armed guards reports having met a submarine but they hid below while commander of sub asked the Capt of ship where he was bound etc then she pushed off. The sub was the one that has been operating on American coast and must have been on her way home'. December 1916 they leave the Teutonic for a six month refit and after barracks time they join the Orvieto in February 1917: 'I have had an eye witness of big naval action called the Jutland fight sent to me by an old shipmate. Here goes copy. 31st May 1916 HMS Faulkner' and then there are four pages of details of the battle word for word from his witness friend. Towards the end he states: 'our estimation of enemy losses. 6 battleships 2 battle cruisers 2 submarines 15 to 20 destroyers 2 zeppelins 6 light cruisers'. 'Wireless people intercepted RMS Celtic wiring Liverpool. She had bumped a mine. She was about 2hrs astern of us so we were lucky not to have done this'. 'About 11:45am all crew except watch were at dinner when masthead lookout sighted periscope of submarine. It disappeared immediately and all the starboard lookouts sighted torpedo coming at us.navigating officer was navigating the ship.torpedo passed about 20yds astern and broke the surface 500yds on port side'. 'A submarine was sighted about 12 miles ahead so we altered course.a gun began to speak and action bells started ringing. Scrambling up to my station on bridge an explosion took place not far off on our port bow. Debris and oil filled the water etc a cease fire was sounded. I learnt we had sunk a submarine. 4 shots fired altogether. 2nd hit and explosion occurred with 3rd and 4th shots lyddite shells. We cruised round full speed but nothing to save etc. the crew must have been blown to smithereens.a warm place here for the subs'. 'After discovering that my old firm were rather reluctant to take me back except at starvation wage I got the offer for a position at another firm if I could get immediate release.ship was leaving for Belfast refit in the morning.all went well until the absence of the Surgeon who has to pass me A1 delayed proceedings until the morning.to Birkenhead to get the surgeon agent to witness my medical sheet. Returned to ship.eventually was fully demobilized and got ashore with my bag 1/4hr before the ship sailed near thing'.

‎"Salomé"" - Lithographie originale sur Japon - L'Estampe Moderne‎

‎Paris: Imprimerie Champenoispour CH. MassonH. Piazza 1899. Fine. Imprimerie Champenois pour CH. Masson H. Piazza Paris Avril 1899 19.50 x 35 cm une feuille et une serpente Rare original color lithograph executed by Luc Olivier Merson for L'Estampe Moderne ""Second complimentary premium reserved for one-year subscribers to L'Estampe Moderne"". One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on Japan paper with wide margins artist's signature in the plate publisher's dry stamp representing a child's profile in the lower margin numbered stamp of the deluxe edition on verso; engraving preceded by a tissue guard inscribed with the artist's name title and text. Lithograph inspired by an extract from Hérodias by Gustave Flaubert reproduced on the print's tissue guard. Magnificent French monthly publication issued between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne consists of original chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specially by each artist for the magazine. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Époque. Each delivery of four prints was issued in 2000 copies sold for 3.50F and 100 on Japan paper offered at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a confidential very deluxe printing: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This beautifully formatted print is superbly printed on the most prestigious of papers: Japan paper. Thick silky satiny and pearlescent it contributes to making each page a work in its own right. Its ink absorption quality and affinity with colors also make it the ideal support for these very beautiful lithographs. French collectors' interest in artistic posters grew in the early 1890s. Octave Uzanne to describe this fever invented the term ""affichomanie"". The poster originally popular and displayed on the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral support became precious and destined for preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising vocation and elevate it to the rank of a complete work of art on the same level as the deluxe illustrated book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most prominent European artists of the moment: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc. Handsome copy.

Bookplate removed from the front pastedown. Some slight foxing. Frontispiece removed Note: When the first three books of the only surving work of the Roman poet Marcus Annaeus Lucanus 39-65 A.D. the epic 'Bellum Civile' or 'Pharsalia' were published in 62 or 63 the emperor Nero was not amused because it was great poetry and because it contained eloquent denunciations of tyranny. The epic was on the civil war between Caesar and Pompeius a war that ended the Roman republic. Lucan soon joined the conspiracy of Piso against the emperor Nero and was forced to commit suicide on its disclosure spring 65. The remaining books of the 'Pharsalia' the last book 7 being unfinished were published posthumously after the death of Nero. 'Beginning with the causes of the war between Caesar and Pompey it carries the story beyond the death of Pompey until it breaks off with Caesar's occupation of Pharos in Egypt. The battle of Pharsalos is related in book 7. . All the resources of rhetoric are enlisted to impress the reader; vehement declamation and brilliant epigrammatic utterances sententiae are everywhere in evidence. There are numerous digressions many of them making a display of curious learning'. OCD 2nd ed. p. 620 Lucan made Pompey a tragic hero and evoked sympathy for him and his lost republican cause. The climax of the story is the battle at Pharsalos. According to Rose the 'Pharsalia' contains 'some of the finest rhetoric ever written in verse'. H.J. Rose A handbook of Latin literature London 1967 p. 380 The philosophy of the Pharsalia is Stoic. § Lucan was during the Middle Ages a popular school-author he survives in ca. 300 manuscripts. His afterlife is interesting. At the beginning of the Renaissance he was placed by Dante alongside Homer Horace and Ovid. 'For the Renaissance Lucan provided an important precedent for composing epics about comparatively recent historical events and more remarkably . for epics whose sympathies favor the losing side'. Lucan's republicanism made him in the 17th century unsuitable for incorporation in the series 'editions for the Dauphin' the crown prince of France while on the other hand the poet was admired by Voltaire for his libertas. § This edition of 1728 was produced by the Dutch classical scholar Franciscus Oudendorp 1696-1761 who was according to Sandys the last of the great latinists of his age. For the last 20 years of his life he was professor of Eloquence and History at the University of Leiden. He consulted for his edition 17 manuscripts and also old editions adding his own remarks and annotations and he published the very useful old scholiasts of Lucanus the 'Adnotationes super Lucanum' a series of short notes on Lucan's Pharsalia dating from the Middle Ages here for the first time. Oudendorp restored many places with the help of the 'Adnotationes' often offering them as his own ideas and conjectures 'mori aetatis suae indulgens'. Adnotationes super Lucanum edidit I. Weber Leipzig 1909 p. V Nevertheless the English scholar A.E Housman observed in the introduction to his Lucan edition of 1926 that Oudendorp's edition is the most solid and valuable though not in all respects the most important. He was according to Housman 'in common sense sobriety of judgment and fairness of temper . the best of Lucan's annotators' Provenance: On the title in ink: 'Bibliothecae FF Min. Hib.

See for the long and turbulent history of this monastery highlanes.ie/Content.aspxPageID=71. There we read that a new friary residence was opened on St. Laurence Street in 1840. At that time the Franciscan community consisted of four priests assisted by two tertiaries. The conventus of the friars became in 1860 a Noviciate that is a training school or university for members of religious orders and remained so until 1877.
