Colman "The Younger" 1762-1836 "was a playwright writer of scurrilous satiric verse and theatre manager whose comic operas farces melodramas and sentimental comedies were box-office successes in the late 18th and early 19th centuries . He took over The Haymarket theatre on the death of his father in 1794 but his life was plagued with financial insecurity and difficulties resulting in a long spell in debtor's prison. Here he resided for many years continuing to direct the affairs of his theatre and was finally released through the intervention of King George IV who appointed him in 1824 Examiner of Plays more commonly called Licenser a post made vacant by the death of John Larpent. In effect this gave him complete authority to censor any plays or parts of plays that he deemed immoral overly political blasphemous or otherwise dangerous. It was position some of his contemporary playwrights considered he abused by being a hypocritically severe censor. However actors recalled his generosity and humanity friends remembered his readiness to help them proprietors his straightforward business manner and the public his entertaining productions" milesbartondotcom. printed for John Ballantyne, Hanover Street; and for Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, London; by James Ballantyne and Co., unknown

COLMAR FREIHERR VON DER GOLTZ, (1843-1916).
[GOLTZ'S MEMORANDUM FOR THE OTTOMAN ARMY] Seferber zâbitâna mahsûs muhtira. [i.e. The memorandum for the mobilized officers]. Translated by Mahmud Sevket Pasa, (1856-1913).
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original cloth bdg. with decorative borders of title gilt on the front board. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). [14], 287, [17] p., unnumbered nine tables (two folded interior and two folded in end pocket), 42 numerous b/w ills., military plans, etc., Hegira: 1305 = Gregorian: 1889. Ownership inscription on the first free paper. Slight foxing on boards, spine, and pages. One plan in the end pocket was repaired. Overall a good copy. Rare second edition of this "memorandum" translated into Ottoman Turkish by Mahmud Sevket Pasha, is one of the works of Baron von der Goltz (Pasha) who was invited by Sultan Abdulhamid II upon the request of Germany to modernize the Ottoman army after the defeat in the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878). In the first years of modernization in the Ottoman army, the army was attempted to be compared to Napoleon's army, and its regulations were translated and organized accordingly. Many regulations, memoranda, and "layihas" were translated from French. However, when the Germans defeated the French in 1871, the German military system was regarded as superior, and from 1882 onwards, German advisers began to be recruited for the improvement of the army. Since the arrival of Major Goltz in 1883, German training guides and some German instructions were translated into Turkish for use in military schools. One of the most important instructions translated into Turkish was this book includes the basic military issues with many military plans. Goltz Pasha was a Prussian Field Marshal and military writer who had been in service of the Ottoman Empire two times soon after the Russo-Turkish War in 1877-78 and during the WW1 (1915-16) to reorganize the Ottoman Army.

COLMAR FREIHERR von der GOLTZ, (1843-1916).
[GOLTZ'S REFERENCE BOOK on 'THE BATTLES OF FORTRESSES' PRINTED for the OTTOMAN ARMY] Muharebât-i kila'. Translated by Farukî Sâmi [Pasha], (1861-1911).
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original cloth bdg. with 'Tercüman Gazetesi Kitapligi' [i.e. Tercüman Newspaper Library] label on spine. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 16 cm). In Ottoman script. [8], 391 p., 5 numerous folded plates and plans. Some underlined sentences and notes by pencil. Goltz's reference book on "battles of fortresses" printed for the Ottoman military schools. Muharebât-i kila'. Translated by Farukî Sâmi [Pasha], (1861-1911). Wilhelm Leopold Colmar Freiherr von der Goltz, also known as Goltz Pasha, was a Prussian Field Marshal and military writer. After defeat in the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), Sultan Hamid, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, asked for German aid in reorganizing the Ottoman Army, so that they would be able to resist the advance of the Russian Empire. Baron von der Goltz was sent. He spent twelve years on this work which provided the material for several of his books. During his time in the Ottoman Empire, Goltz had very negative view of Abdul Hamid II, writing: "The Stambul Efendi, whose father held a well-paid sinecure, reward by Sultan Hamid for his faithfulness, and who enjoyed to the fullest the good life, now knowing the struggle for existence, could not be a great leader on the battlefield. As long as Sultan Abdulhamid and the present ruling classes remain at the rudder, one may not speak of the rescue of Turkey.". Goltz achieved some reforms such as lengthening the period of study at military schools and adding new curricula for staff courses at the War College. From 1883 to 1895, Goltz trained the so-called "Goltz generation" of Ottoman officers, many of whom would go to play prominent roles in Ottoman military and political life. Goltz, who learned to speak fluent Turkish, was a much admired teacher, regarded as a "father figure" by the cadets, who saw him as "an inspiration.". Attending his lectures, in which he sought to indoctrinate his students with his "nation in arms" philosophy, was seen as "a matter of pride and joy" by his pupils. As a result, it was the Ottoman army rather the German army which first embraced Goltz's "nation in arms" theory as the basis of its understanding of war. After some years he was given the title Pasha (a signal honor for a non-Muslim) and in 1895, just before he returned to Germany, he was named Mushir (field-marshal). His improvements to the Ottoman army were significant. It is noteworthy that in the Greco-Turkish War (1897), the Turkish army stopped just before Thermopylae, only when the Czar Nicholas II of Russia threatened the Ottoman Sultan that he would be attacking the Ottoman Empire from eastern Anatolia unless the Ottoman Army stopped their campaign at that point. On his return to Germany in 1895 Goltz became a lieutenant-general and commander of the 5th Division, and in 1898, head of the Engineer and Pioneer Corps and Inspector-General of Fortifications. In 1900 he was made General of Infantry and in 1902 commander of the I. Army Corps. After returning to Germany in 1895, Goltz was in close contact with his students, and offered them his advice. [.] Soon afterward Goltz gave up that position and became a military aide to the essentially powerless Sultan Mehmed V. Baron von der Goltz did not get along with the head of the German mission to Turkey, [.] Sami Pasha al-Faruqi, (1861-1911), was an Ottoman / Turkish soldier, bureaucrat and governor. The Ottoman governor who played an important role in suppressing the Karak Uprising, which was an uprising against Ottoman authority in the Transjordanian town of Al-Karak, which erupted on 4 December 1910. The revolt came after Sami Pasha, the governor of Damascus, wanted to apply the same measures of conscription, taxation, and disarmament to the inhabitants of Al-Karak that previously provoked the Hauran Druze Rebellion.

COLONEL [SIR] H[ENRY] E[DWARD] COLVILE, (1852-1907).
[THE SUDAN CAMPAIGN] History of the Sudan campaign. Compiled in the Intelligence Division of the War Office. Pt. 1. Events leading up to the Nile Expedition, and its history to the departure of the desert column from Korti, with appendices and a sketch map.
Very Good English Original red cloth bdg. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. [xiv], 277 p., 5 military plans, (3 foldings), and 1 folding map of Sudan Campaign's military plan (57x39,5 cm). Fading on cloth, an ex-library stamp on colophon, light soiling to extremities. Otherwise a good copy. First edition of the first volume of this rare set on the Sudan Campaign, including an eyewitness account of Colvile, an English colonel (later major-general) during the campaign. The presented first volume includes that the forces of the Mahdist movement spreading across Sudan, and threatening General Charles Gordon in Khartoum, while Lord Garnet Wolseley moves slowly south down the Nile. The second and third volumes (including maps only) are missing. By 1882 the Mahdist Army had taken complete control over the area surrounding Khartoum. Then, in 1883, a joint British-Egyptian military expedition under the command of British Colonel William Hicks launched a counterattack against the Mahdists. Hicks was soon killed and the British decided to evacuate Sudan. Fighting continued however and the British-Egyptian forces which defended Khartoum in a long siege were finally overrun on January 28, 1885. Virtually the entire garrison was killed. General Charles Gordon, the commander of the British-Egyptian forces, was beheaded during the attack. In June 1885 Ahmad, the self-proclaimed Mahdi died. As a result the Mahdist movement quickly dissolved as infighting broke out among rival claimants to leadership. Hoping to capitalize on internal strife, the British returned to Sudan in 1896 with Horatio Kitchener as commander of another Anglo-Egyptian army. In the final battle of the war on September 2, 1898, at Karari, 11,000 Mahdists were killed and 16,000 were wounded. (Source: Black Past online). Henry Edward Colville was born at Kirkby Hall, Leicestershire, as the son of Charles Robert Colville and Hon. Katherine Sarah Georgina Russell. Trained at Eton, Colville entered the Grenadier Guards in 1870, followed by his assignment in 1880 as A.D.C. to General Sir Leicester Smyth commanding the forces in South Africa. Colville served in the Intelligence Department of the Suakin Expedition of 1884, distinguishing himself at the Battles of El Teb and Tamai. He was employed on special service in Sudan prior to the Nile Expedition of 1884-85 and after having served in that Expedition, he received the assignment of Chief of the Intelligence Department of the Frontier Force. Following the Battle of Ginnis in the Mahdist War, Colville was promoted to the rank of Colonel and was attached to the Intelligence Department at headquarters. In 1893 he was appointed Commissioner (Acting) for Uganda where he commanded the Unyoro Expedition receiving numerous awards and a promotion to Major General on April 12, 1898. Prior to his retirement in 1901, Colville served as Commander, Infantry Brigade, Gibraltar and Guards Brigade, and 9th Division, South Africa 1899-1900.

Colonel G A Iakubovich [ G A Yakubovich; G A Iakubovitch ], Assistant Minister of War under Kerensky in the Provisional Russian
The Russian Revolution: the Assistant Minister of War addresses the Council of Peasants' Delegates. Account in English of a report by 'Colonel Iakubovitch' on the state of the Russian Army in a speech to the Council of Peasants' Delegates.
'Council of Peasants' Delegates Moscow . 24 May 1917. After the February Revolution and abdication of Tsar Nicholas II Kerensky as Minister of War was the dominant figure in the provisional government that held power until overthrown by the Bolsheviks in the October Revolution. According to Semion Lyandres 'The Fall of Tsarism' along with Lev Stepanovich Tugan-Baranovskii and G. N. Tumanov Captain G. A. Iakubovich 'belonged to the troika of Kerenskii's most trusted military aides during his tenure in the Provisional Government'. 4pp. foolscap 8vo. First page headed: 'Council of Peasants' Delegates. 24th. May 1917. Speech of the Under Minister for War. Colonel Iakubovitch'. Clearly an official British document and apparently unpublished. Carbon typescript on four leaves held together by a brass stud. Aged and creased with last leaf detached from rest. With two hurried manuscript notes in blue pencil difficult to decipher: the first at head of first page 'Circulate <by> 18/51 V'; the second at foot of last page: 'Return to Lt Reeves'. Divided into six sections under headings: 'To refuse to advance is to wreck the revolution' 'Technique foodstuffs and fodder' 'Disorder on the railways' 'Ranks of the army filled' 'Entrenched soldiers and entrenched officers' and 'The ranks of the army require filling up'. The first section begins: 'I have come here to explain what the Provisional Government understands by the word “advanceâ€. The Government has stated that it renounces all forms of annexation and contribution. But at the same time NOT TO ADVANCE IS TO WRECK THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION AND INJURE THE FREEDOM OF THE WHOLE WORLD. Our enemies place a very low value on the strength of the Russian army and are convinced that the army has dissolved and is no longer capable of advancing. At the War Ministry we have accurate information of the enemy's recent withrawals from our front. THEY HAVE WITHDRAWN NOT ONLY MEN BUT GUNS. And to what does all this lead. Once and for all you must realize that IF THE ALLIES ARE CRUSHED BY GERMANY THE LATTER WILL NOT FORGET TO SETTLE WITH US. How can we assist our Allies Only by advancing.' The report includes references to: 'disgraceful incidents' on the railway 'Soldiers have thrown station-masters and railway servants out of the windows of moving trains'; 'Desertion' 'a symptom apparent to all. I cannot now give you the exact figures but they run into several million'; 'soldiers who have dug themselves in at the rear'; 'soldiers who called up in 1914' who 'have not once been in the trenches'. It concludes: 'You see comrades what is now happening in the army. I will not attempt to prescribe a cure for this incredible complaint. Your wisdom will tell us what must be done and the Minister for War awaits the voice of the representatives of the free land – the voice of the peasantry. Storm of applause'. 'Council of Peasants' Delegates [ Moscow ]. 24 May 1917. unknown

The letter addressed to 'your Excellency' concerns 'The Honble. Captain Cunningham who had resigned a Troop of Dragoons on the Irish Establishment to go upon Service with the same rank in my unfortunate Regiment of Swiss Chasseurs'. As the correspondent had previously expressed his 'Sentiments on the Propriety of the Application' Cunningham hopes that he will 'now be pleased to lay his peculiar Situation before The King and to entreat that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to give orders for his being honored with an Official letter signifying that Capt. Cunningham has not lost his rank in the Army by testifying his Duty to his Majesty in using every means to go upon actuall Service'. For Erskine Cunningham's present situation is 'a very heavy aggravation of the unexampled hardships that have been put upon me'. He asks for help in his application to Lord Grantham for relevant papers by the the King the Duke of Wirtemberg and Monsieur de Mosheim. These are 'of most material consequence to the determination of my Case which your Excellency's & Mr Townshends obliging representations perswaded The India Company to refer to the decision of Arbitrators'. He is concerned that 'the Successor of Lord Grantham in office may not have the same Sentiments of Jusice' regarding his 'claim on The Company'. The appeal does not appear to have been successful: among the Hodgkin Papers at the British Library is a letter from Erskine to Matthew Lewis Deputy Secretary-at-War 14 November 1786 'on finding no officers of his regiment in the Army List'. Wrapped in a discoloured creased and frayed folio sheet docketed 'J. F. Erskine Lawyers.' 7 March 1783; 'Kensington gravell Pitts'. unknown

Colonel R G Ingersoll [ Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899), 'The Great Agnostic' ] [ G W Foote, Progressive Publishing Company,
Printed pamphlet with introduction by G. W. Foote. Marriage and Divorce. An Agnostic's View. By Colonel R. G. Ingersoll.
London: Progressive Publishing Company 28 Stonecutter Street E.C. Printed and Published by G. W. Foote 28 Stonecutter St. London E.C. 1890. 15 1pp. 12mo. Disbound without wraps. In good condition with light signs of age. Last page carries a list of 'Works by Colonel Ingersoll.' Foote's introductory note reads: 'During November and December 1889 the North American Review printed a number of articles by representative men on the subject of Divorce. The editor framed a series of four questions which the various writers replied to. Colonel Ingersoll answered them seriatim and fully without the least evasion and reserve having a habit not only of meaning what he says but of saying what he means. His article is now reproduced for the benefit of English readers. It is a very important contribution to the literature of the marriage question and it is to be hoped that those who are privileged to read it will circulate it amongst their friends and acquaintances.'

Colonel Sir Anthony Coningham Sterling (1805–1871), Scottish soldier who distinguished himself during the Crimean War and Indian
Colonel Sir Anthony Coningham Sterling of the Highland Brigade Scottish soldier and military historian. First four pages of Autograph Letter to 'Maclean' describing his efforts to obtain a commission for Maclean's 'Young friend'.
3 South Place Knightsbridge. 1 November 1856. 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. Evidently incomplete: the first part only of a long letter. Begins: 'My dear Maclean I have it not in my heart to put forward an excuse for very long silence beyond an amount of employment the like of which I have never had thrown upon me before for many years.' He hopes to see him but leaves that night 'for the North on a tour of inspection'. He describes his movements: 'I go first to Keir near Dumblane sic for a couple of days from thence to Fort George where I may be detained by my duties for two days and from there back to Keir from which point I shall visit the Depôts and Depôt Battns. within reach.' After discussing possible arrangements for a visit he writes: 'I am ordered to hasten back from the North to inspect the Depot Battns. just formed in England and in Jersey before the Winter is farther advanced'. He 'took Mr. Rolston to the Horse Guards. - I found that no influence or interest could obtain the enrolment of his name on the list of Candidates for a Commission by purchase he being passed the age of 18 before he made his application. The Gentleman to whom I presented him is a very old friend of mine. As I told him how much interested I was in behalf of your Young friend he suggested that Mrs. Rolston should apply for a Commission by purchase in a Colonial Corps of which there are 5'. He lists the corps observing of the West Indies that it is a place 'in which you and I passed so many Years of our life' and 'not always unhealthy'. 'By a sacrifice of a little money an exchange could be effected without much difficulty into a Regt. of the Line'. The final page concludes: 'However your Young friend did not deem it advisable to make application for an appt. to any of these Corps'. 3 South Place, Knightsbridge. 1 November 1856. unknown

Colonie Tcheque de France (The Czech Colony of France)
CZECHOSLOVAK LEGION PUBLISHING IN FRANCE "Pays tchèque Bohéme Moravie Silésie Slovaque" The Czech lands Bohemia Moravia Silesia Slovakia. Arms of Czech Countries. Znaky Äeských zemÃ. Lithographed postcard printed by Czechoslovak exiles in France.; Knihovna ÄŒeskoslovenského DennÃku sv. 17 Library of the Czechoslovak Daily vol. 17
Paris: ca. 1917 or 1918. Postcard 14.3 × 9.5 cm with chromolithograph illustration and text in French Russian Italian and English. Unused; light wear and soil still about very good. Unattributed postcard published by Czechoslovak Legion volunteers in France who fought alongside the French with considerable casualties in WWI over six hundred dead. The Czechs in France also issued a publication aimed at the "Czech Colony in France" which appeared with varying titles as a simple new bulletin in 1915-1916. Beginning in March 1917 a more elaborately printed and occasionally illustrated journal began to appear which may have been connected with the publication of this postcard. The journal's goal was both to inform about the ongoing involvement of fellow countrymen providing statistics and news and to provide moral support and inspiration for the work ahead. Czech and Slovak volunteers fought in the French Foreign Legion since August 1914 forming a Czech battalion that served in the Moroccan division but Czechs also served in various other divisions. In December 1917 the French government decreed the creation of an autonomous Czechoslovak Army. unknown
