Military Engineer; Served in America and Egypt : Major-General 1825; Inspector-General of Fortifications
six and a half manuscript pages. Folio report to Sir John Stuart Lieut-General and commander of the forces on recent military engineering in Sicily sent fron Messina February 11th 1810 with particular notice taken of costs incurred. The report covers the period from March 3rd 1806 and refers to the previous overall commanders General Fox 1806 and Lieut-General Sir John Moore the latter of whom in March 1807 in expectation of the likelihood of an attack from Napoleonic forces put Sicily upon a high alert initiating defences in principal cities such as Messina and Syracuse and repairs to smaller ports and batteries. Stuart who had taken Ischia and Procida the previous year capturing Murat's gunboats retired to Messina and in 1810 repulsed an enemy attack with great loss close by. He is probably responsible for the docketing found on the final page. Sir John Stuart 1759-1815 Lieut-general; born in Georgia USA; fought against colonists in the war of independence and was present at the surrender of Yorktown 1781; reponsiple for victory in Battle of Alexandria 1801; and gained victory in Calabria 1806.

Buchanan James Mathew Carey
James Buchanan Autograph Letter Signed.
1825. Autograph letter signed entirely in the hand of the 15th President of the United States James Buchanan to Philadelphia publisher Mathew Carey. Addressed to Mathew Carey the letter reads "Lancaster 24 October 1825. Dear Sir I have a favor to ask you which I feel assured you will grant. Your maxim I know both in public and private life is to render justice to all men. I have heard with surprise from several respectable sources that I have been denounced in Philadelphia by many as an enemy to internal imprisonment. This has arisen from what is alleged in your city to have been my course in the canal convention. Upon this subject I think I have been hardly treated. Some of your editors published my resolutions and the speeches of others in support of them; but not one of them has ever published my observations. As I feel a high respect for the opinion of many of the citizens of Philadelphia I should be sorry they would labor under a false impression respecting me. I therefore take the liberty of requesting you to have my resolution and the few remarks I made or such parts of them that you may deem proper republished by some one of your editors. If you will see one justice done in this particular I shall feel forever obliged to you. Your opinion in this particular I shall feel forever obliged to you. Your opinion would at once correct every erroneous impression I used every effort in my power for the Delaware and Chesapeake canal. With sentiments of the highest respect both for your intellectual and moral character. I remain your sincere friend James Buchanan N.B. I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you in 2 or 3 weeks." Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed to Carey in Buchanan's hand. Irish-born American publisher Mathew Carey established himself as a publisher in Philadelphia by founding the Pennsylvania Herald in 1785 and Columbian Magazine in 1786. He published the first Roman Catholic version of the Bible printed in the United States America's first atlases and frequently wrote on various social topics including debates in the state legislature. In very good condition with some browning to the page edges. The 15th President of the United States James Buchanan served immediately prior to the American Civil War. Buchanan aspired to be a president who would rank in history with George Washington with his tendencies toward neutrality and impartiality. Historians fault him however for his failure to address the issue of slavery and the secession of the southern states bringing the nation to the brink of civil war. unknown
