SIPAHI ÇATALTEPE.
19. yüzyil baslarinda Avrupa dengesi ve Nizam-i Cedid ordusu.
Fine Turkish Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 296 p. 19. yüzyil baslarinda Avrupa dengesi ve Nizam-i Cedid ordusu. European diplomacy in the early 19th century and Turkish Nizam-i Cedid army. The Nizam-i Cedid Army refers to the new military establishment of the Nizam-i Cedid reform program. The Nizam-i Cedid army was largely a failure in its own time, but proved to be a much more effective infantry force than the Janissaries. After losing the Russo-Turkish War of 1787-92 in 1792 to Austria and Russia, Selim III concluded that Ottoman military was in serious need of reform if the empire was to survive. As a result, he began implementing a series of reforms aimed at reorganizing the military after the fashion of European militaries. This included the usage of European training tactics, weapons, and even officers. These reforms troubled the Janissaries, who were suspicious and unreceptive towards the reforms. To this end, Selim III created the Nizam-i Djedid in 1797 in order to develop a replacement for the Janissaries. By 1806 this new army stood 26,000 men strong, equipped with a French-style uniforms, European weapons, and a modern artillery corps. Due to their distinctly modern nature, the army was named Nizam-i-Cedid, which has the meaning, in Turkish, of 'New Order.'

Sir Charles A Elton [Sir Charles Abraham Elton; Sir C A Elton] (1778-1853), English army officer, author and translator [John Ta
Autograph Letter Signed 'Charles A. Elton' from Sir Charles Abraham Elton to John Taylor editor of the 'London Magazine' submitting a contribution on 'Homer's Battle of the Frogs and Mice' and discussing his own and other contributions.
'Clifton Bristol. August 16th.' 1821. 2pp. 4to. Bifolium. Good on lightly-aged paper. Addressed by Elton on reverse of second leaf to 'John Taylor Esq.' Taylor had assumed the editorship of the London Magazine on the death by duel of John Scott in February 1821. Elton begins by informing Taylor that he has 'not been able yet to manage the Batrachomyomachia to my mind'. Elton's translation of 'The Battle of the Frogs and Mice' would appear anonymously in the issue of October 1821 as the second of a series named 'Leisure Hours'. He has instead 'sent some chit-chat to serve as an introduction'. 'On Homer's Battle of the Frogs and Mice' appeared in September 1821 as the first of the series. He intends this as 'the first of occasional desultory papers of criticism poetry or the like: a specimen or two of the Battle of Frogs may form the second of the series'. Changing the subject he now declines two books Taylor has sent him to review: he feels that too much has already been said about Madame de Stael and he has 'already administered the ferula to her somewhat roughly'. He is 'equally diffident about Bonaparte's literary character' and asks whether 'Mr Hazlitt or Leigh Hunt' are not 'the fittest men to undertake it'. He feels that to 'enter fully' into Taylor's 'plan relative to the Monthly Literature seems to require the interchange of sentiments in conversation' and that this is 'one of the disadvantages of a periodical contributor residing in the country'. He suspects that 'a London domicile' is 'necessary for the convenient and ready arrangement and execution of this sort of monthly summary'. He has been 'thinking of some regular supply of poetry translated or original independent of the incidental passages in the Leisure Hours' but has not yet 'ascertained either my plan or my powers'. In the first part of a postscript he asks 'What is Knickerbocker Washington Irving & is he worth reviewing' This appears to be a reference to a footnote to the 'Epistle to Elia' by 'OLEN' published in the August 1821 issue of the London Magazine; the footnote also discusses two readings of that poem thanks Taylor 'for the Magazine' and ends 'It is a pity the writer who so ably reviewed Crabbe does not continue his "Series of Living Poets." 'Clifton [Bristol]. [August?] 16th.' [1821]. unknown

He is enclosing a letter from Sir John Wilson 1780-1856 'who is forwarding an application from Mr Ferrier the Quarter Master of this Establishment in favour of an application to obtain admission into the Cambridge '. He asks if he 'might take an opportunity of showing it to His Royal Highness'. He ends by describing Ferrier as 'an excellent man' who 'can be fully depended upon in the opinion he has given'.

Sir Frederick Maurice army officer and military theoretician. Autograph Letter Signed to Col. H. L. Oldham regarding a letter by Sir John Moore and personal matters.
Circa 1904 Bowden Two Mile Ash Horsham. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The present item was probably written around the time of his 1904 edition of the diary of Sir John Moore. 3pp 12mo Thirty-three lines of text on bifolium of grey paper. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. Folded once. Annotated in red ink at head of first page: ‘Sir Frederick Maurice on Sir John Moore HLO had sent him a copy of a letter of Sir J. Moore fr. among the family Autographs.' Addressed to ‘Oldham’ and signed ‘F. Maurice’. He thanks him for sending Moore’s letter to Napoleon’s jailor Sir Hudson Lowe with reference to the Lowe correspondence in the British Museum. He elucidates the references in the letter: ‘The Corps is certainly the Corsicans. Gordon is the Military Secy. The reference is to Ferrol. Murati is an officer of the Corsican Rangers.’ He goes on to discuss one of Oldham’s suggestions about which he is not certain before turning to personal reminiscences: ‘I remember very well your being at the camp though I am ashamed to say I had forgotten in which battery you were.’ Should Oldham ever be ‘in the neighbourhood of West Kensington’ he hopes he will ‘look us up at 9 Gwendur sic Road’’ The Maurices will be returning to that ‘tiny’ house in three weeks and although ‘there is not much to tempt’ Oldham he will be welcome. [Circa 1904?] Bowden, Two Mile Ash, Horsham. unknown
