‎Sir George William Des Voeux‎

‎Private Manuscript Telegraph Letter from Governor of Hong Kong, Sir George William Des Voeux, to Colonial Administrator Sir William MacGregor. Together with a Manuscript Decipherment, and a Signed Letter from Sir Henry Wylie Norman.‎

‎Manuscript telegraph letter sent from Governor of Hong Kong Sir George William Des Voeux, in cipher, to Colonial Administrator Sir William MacGregor, which offers to the post of Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong, on the same day which Colonial Secretary Frederick Stewart died. Together with a manuscript decipherment, and a signed letter from the decipherer of the message, Sir Henry Wylie Norman, Governor of Queensland. 8vo. Single-leaf telegraph on the stationery of the Telegraph Office Queensland completed in manuscript and dated 29 September 1889; Double leaf manuscript letter on the stationery of the Queensland Government House Brisbane dated 1 October 1889; hand trimmed manuscript note measuring approximately 17,5 x 11,5 cm. All three documents fastened together with a brass pin. Some creasing, minor wear at folds, otherwise in very good condition, a fascinating disclosure of of Hong Kong administrative history perhaps previously unknown to anyone but the parties involved. This is a little-known and private correspondence, concealed for delivery with a colonial cipher language, between two important colonial administrators, concerning the title of Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong. A telegraph from Hong Kong reveals that an offer was made to MacGregor to work in China in 1889. The sender does not reveal himself, and the message in written in code, however a contemporary manuscript decipherment fastened with a brass brad discloses the contents. Sir George William Des Voeux, Governor of Hong Kong is the sender. Des Voeux knew MacGregor well from his time as Governor of Fiji from 1880-1885, during which period he worked with MacGregor who was Treasurer then Colonial Secretary of Fiji. Manuscript‎

‎Sir Richard Croft, Medical Baronet‎

‎Medical Manuscript Letter by a British Physician to King George III and the Royal Family, Describeing Complications of a Pregnancy Four Years Before the "Triple Obstetrical Tragedy.‎

‎Manuscript letter by Sir Richard Croft, Physician to King George III and the Royal Family, accoucheur (obstetrician), and British peer, describes complications of a pregnancy four years before the "triple obstetrical tragedy" Princess Charlotte which has become his unfortunate infamy. 8vo. 2 pages in manuscript. Double leaf measuring approximately 12 x 18,5 cm, watermarked with the year 1811, with integral address, two postal ink stamps and a lovely red wax seal. Very faint age-toning only to sections of the leaf exposed for mailing, otherwise in very good condition, beautifully preserved and highly relevant to the writer's occupation as a manmidwife and the complications of pregnancy and birthing in the early nineteenth century. "Sir Richard Croft (1762-1818) physician and man-midwife gained notoriety after his involvement in the labor of Princess Charlotte, which resulted in her death. He never shook off the shame of the tragedy, and shot himself three months later." (Oxford DNB). Manuscript signed letter from the Royal Physician and Male Midwife to the late Princess Charlotte, Sir Richard Croft, who is remembered for causing the "Triple Obstetrical Tragedy" of 1817, in which is a primary source account of early nineteenth century complications and precepts surrounding pregnancy and child deliveries. The writer is Sir Richard Croft, 6th Baronet (9 January 1762 - 13 February 1818), English physician to the British Royal Family and the obstetrician to Princess Charlotte, who is famed for his role in "the triple obstetrical tragedy" of her death in 1817. He received his medical training from, among others, his father-in-law, Dr. Thomas Denman, a preeminent obstetrician in London whose textbook on childbirth had been first published in 1788. He graduated with his MD from the University of Oxford in 1789. Croft was appointed the personal physician of King George III. He was also a member of the Medical and Chirurgical Society of London, and Physician to the Lying-in Charity on Old Burlington Street. He was the primary accoucheur or midwife to Princess Charlotte, granddaughter of the reigning King George III. Manuscript‎

‎Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872) of Middle Hill, eccentric collector of books and manuscripts; Sir Charles Hastings (1794-1866)‎

‎Sir Thomas Phillipps of Middle Hill eccentric book and manuscript collector complains of having been 'plundered' by a Worcester lawyer. Autograph Letter Signed 'Thos Phillipps' to the wife of Sir Charles Hastings in reply to an invitation.‎

‎'M H i.e. Middle Hill 12 Aug. no year but after Sir Charles Hastings' 1850 knighthood'. 3pp 16mo. On bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged. Phillipps's letter or draft letter is a reply to a dinner invitation from the wife of the eminent Worcester physician Sir Charles Hastings. It occupies the reverse of the first leaf and both sides of the second leaf of the bifolium. The recto of the first leaf carries the invitation in manuscript with the text in square brackets printed in copperplate: 'Sir Charles & Lady Hastings Request the pleasure of Sir Thos & Lady Phillipps' Company at Dinner on Thursday the 28th. Inst. Six oclock An answer will oblige. Worcester Augt. 12th.' Phillipps begins his reply: 'Dr Lady Hastings Lady P is in such distress respecting the serious illness of her Brother in law that I take up her Pen to return her & my best thanks for the kind invitation wch yr self & Sir Chas. have done us the honor to send for the 28th inst.' As the Phillippses do not 'know how his illness might terminate' even 'in the best case' they will not be able to 'come to the Worcester Music Meeting; for a Worcester Lawyer has plundered me of all my spare Cash & what is worse has done nothing for it.' He hopes she 'will be able to fill our vacant seats with some more wealthy persons who will be beneficial to the Meeting.' The letter is signed 'Very faithfully Yours Thos Phillipps'. Hastings founded the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association – now the British Medical Association – in 1832. Phillipps was notoriously eccentric and irascible. See his entry in the Oxford DNB and Munby 'Phillipps Studies' 5 vols 1951-1960. From the distinguished autograph collection of Richard Hunter son of Ida Macalpine whose collection of 7000 books relating to psychiatry is in Cambridge University Library. Macalpine and Hunter had a particular interest in the illness of King George III and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' 1969 suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

‎Skopinski, Adolf, prospector and adventurer (fl. 1900-1920s).‎

‎Autograph manuscript: "Auf der Suche nach dem verlorenen Glück. Abendteuern in den Amerikas. Buch 6. III. Theil". No place, ca. 1920.‎

‎4to. German manuscript, ink on paper. 103 pages on single leaves, numbered 1-93. An extensive manuscript, and the only known surviving fragment, of the memoirs of Adolf Skopinski, a German native who in 1900 emigrated from Hamburg's waterfront district of St. Pauli to seek his fortune in America. He was naturalized a U.S. citizen in 1901. As a prospector in Alaska he witnessed the Fairbanks Gold Rush from 1902 to 1911, staying at Iditarod, then one of the country's most populous places and an important river port and transport hub (today a ghost town). In 1910 Skopinski was even granted a patent for a "means for automatically dumping excavating-scrapers" (US960590A). After the First World War, Skopinski returned to Germany and tried without success to have his memoirs published by the journalist Alfred E. Johann. - The present part of his manuscript focuses on Skopinski's arrival in New York, where he meets Horn, a Rhenish wrestler who performs as a strongman and "tooth athlete" (p. 9), and his friend Babette, "a good-looking, strapping, robustly built Bavarian girl with sparkling eyes, formerly a cook", with whom he trains as a wrestler to perform as the main act. Through the intermediation of another German emigré, a former estate manager who had left the country after "running into difficulties" (p. 18), he soon finds another position as bouncer for a cabaret in 14th Street - "New York's main thoroughfare, where all the better cabarets, ballets, cafés and restaurants are located, where the demi-monde and underworld meet [...] The ladies who sell their love for gold; the waiters who are in fact lapsed barons or dishonourably discharged officers" (p. 14). Skopinski sours on the job after he is mixed up in a knife-fight with a drunk Italian (p. 19) and assumes a new position as bartender in Staten Island (p. 20), then another as boat-keeper and domestic servant at a Hoboken hotel (pp. 21 ff.), before ending up back at his old New York lodgings, where is is advised to "go into ironworks and build skyscrapers, which were then rising everywhere" (p. 31): "And something would happen every day: a finger, hand, arm or leg squashed; twice a week someone would take the tumble - mostly Irishmen who had imbibed liquid courage and so fell from above" (p. 32). - Skopinski witnesses at first hand the founding of the Ironworkers Union, and also the savage wars waged between the construction companies' hired thugs and the union members (pp. 35 ff.); he barely escapes an attempt on his own life ("I suspected an Irishman", p. 38). After this experience Skopinski plans to escape to Honduras or Venezuela, but after stops in Philadelphia and Baltimore he decides to hobo his way across the country. Via Charleston, West Virginia, he reaches Richmond, Virginia (p. [52]), where he finds work at a brewery (pp. 67 ff.), escapes the lewd advances of a priest (pp. 81 f.), and has an affair with a married woman. When she threatens to leave her husband and children for him, Skopinski bolts: via Raleigh, North Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, he flees to La Guaira in Venezuela, which ends the present chapter of the manuscript. - A few dampstains to the upper quarter of the first few leaves, otherwise fine. Includes a postcard hand-drawn on tree bark, showing Skopinski as a prospector, as well as a portrait photograph of him in his later years. A fascinating survival.‎

‎VLAAMSE MINIATUREN VOOR VAN EYCK. (ca. 1380 - ca. 1420),‎

‎, Leuven, Peeters, 1993 softcover originele uitgeversomslag geillustreerd in kleur, 20x26,5cm, 248pp, geilluistreerd in kleur en z/w. NL. ISBN 9068315161.‎

‎Corpus van verluchte handschriften / of illuminated manuscripts. Catalogus cultureel centrum romaanse poort. In de handboeken over de geschiedenis en kunst in Belgie wordt terecht nadruk gelegd op het werk van de Vlaamse primitieven, waarvan Jan Van Eyck en de Meester van Flemalle de eerste vertegenwoordigers zijn. Men omschrijft hun kunst als een ars nova, een nieuwe kunst. Weinigen maken zich echter druk over de vraag of deze hooggeprezen artistieke produktie zomaar uit het niet kon ontstaan. Men is zelfs van oordeel dat de kunst in Vlaanderen tijdens de voorafgaande periode, omstreeks 1400, van gering belang was. Deze fase in de kunstgeschiedenis vormt daardoor een blinde vlek. Overtuigd dat die witte vlek en die onderschatting het gevolg zijn van een gebrek aan de juiste vraagstelling en voldoende opzoekingen, ondernam het Studiecentrum Vlaamse Miniaturisten (KU Leuven) een onderzoek naar de kunst uit die periode, toegespitst op de boekverluchting. Dit toonde aan dat de miniatuurkunst door zijn innoverend karakter in iconografisch en stilistisch opzicht en door zijn realistische vormgeving niet alleen een internationale faam genoot, doch bovendien de grondslagen legde vor het werk van de Vlaamse primitieven. De resultaten worden getoond in de tentoonstelling Tover van de middeleeuwen. Vlaamse miniaturen voor Van Eyck . Deze catalogus beschrijft uitvoerig alle geexposeerde handschriften. De meeste onder hen waren tot nog toe onbekend. Deze publicatie is bijgevolg een nieuw en onmisbaar basiswerk in verband met de kunst uit een vergeten periode.‎

‎Smith (William, Sidney) :‎

‎Billet manuscrit, signé.‎

‎Billet in-8 oblong, manuscrit et signé de sa main "les lignes que j'ai écrites sur la porte de ma prison à la Tour du Temple à Paris en 1798 avant mon évasion, pour la réflexion je l'espérais, que ces pensées profiteraient à mon successeur (s'il en peut être jamais). Qui a peur du mal a déjà le mal de la peur. Qui espère le bien a déjà le bien de l'Espérance.".‎

‎Célèbre amiral anglais (Westminster 1764 - Paris 1840). Marin audacieux, il participa à la guerre d'Amérique, puis à plusieurs campagnes au service de la Suède ou de l'Empire Ottoman. Dans la guerre entre l'Angleterre et la France, il revint servir son pays et nous porta des coups redoutables : destruction de l'arsenal de Toulon et de 12 bâteaux en 1793, attaque et prise de plusieurs bâtiments français ; il remonta même la Seine en 1796 pour s'emparer d'un corsaire français mais fut fait prisonnier ; enfermé à la Tour du Temple, il s'en évada grâce à la complicité des royalistes. Il passa ensuite en Egypte bombarda Alexandrie, empêcha Bonaparte de s'emparer de Saint-Jean d'Acre et négocia avec Kleber la convention d'El-Arisch... Il serait trop long d'exposer ici sa brillante carrière, sa dernière campagne fut la création de la Société des Chevaliers libérateurs des esclaves blancs en Afrique, destinée à mettre fin à l'esclavage des victimes des pirates barbaresques.Smith fut, après Nelson, le marin le plus populaire d'Angleterre.Rare et belle pièce.‎
