Durham'. According to the DNB Durham having 'cleared the West Indies of American cruisers' 'in June and August 1815 co-operated in the reduction of Martinique and Guadeloupe at which place the last French flag was struck to Durham as the first had been'. The letter begins: 'My Lord I feel no exertion has been wanting on the part of the Navy in the joint capture of Guadeloupe – and did flatter myself <> had given his Nephew the best Situation and provided for most of his friends the admiral might have been offered something but to my surprize on my return from Pointe a Pitre in the <> where I had been in the Public Service all was disposed of – it has been generally in point of Captures the practice to give the admiral the nomanation sic of the Naval officer which is all I request for my Nephew Mr Thomas Calderwood Durham 1797-1842 and have requested Lord Bathurst would be pleased to give it to him – may I hope for your Lordships support'. He complains that in the meantime 'it has been given to Mr King a Gentleman well known to hae thought and acted in opposition to Government which is not paying the Navy nor Army any compliment for their exertions in this Country.'

‎Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Dundas Royal Navy officer who distinguished himself at Trafalgar. Autograph Letter Signed 'Thomas Dundas' to Sir John Philippart regarding his writing of an article for the Naval and Military Gazette.‎

‎Falkirk. 11 January 1832. 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged and worn with traces of mount and red wax seal adhering to the reverse of the second leaf which is franked the franker's name and signature illegible to 'Sir John Phippart sic &c &c No 8 New Burlington St'. Slight loss to one corner of second leaf from breaking open of seal with damage to one word of text. The recipient is the naval writer John Philippart c.1784-1874 and the address is in fact that of the publishing house of Colburn and Bentley publishers of the Naval and Military Gazette of which Philippart was the editor. The letter which concerns a contribution to that journal by Dundas begins: 'Dear Sir I shall send in a few days another conclusion to your journal which I think you will deem better worth insertion than my foregoing one. It contains the battle of Fuentes and some matter immediately succeeding'. Dundas hopes that Philippart will find room for the piece in the number for March and explains that it will take at least as much space 'as the Artle you mention to be in the Jany No and which has not come to hand'. In a postscript he asks 'If it is not a secret Pay who is binded whose opinion in my respects coincide with mine' Falkirk. 11 January 1832. unknown‎

‎Royal Naval College Dartmouth. 1 April 1918. 1p. 12mo. In fair condition on lightly aged and worn paper. Perforated at right edge and headed 'This half should be retained by Parent or Guardian.' The absent 'fly leaf' was to be 'returned to the Commanding Officer not later than the 6th April with the answers filled in giving the fullest information.' The first part of the memorandum is mainly concerned with railway arrangements for those travelling to Scotland Ireland London Bristol Plymouth Exeter. 'Cadets will be provided with Army Form W3504 which will enable them to travel 1st Class at less than the ordinary 3rd class fare now prevailing. The Fleet Paymaster of the College will defray all travelling expenses which will subsequently be charged against the Cadet's personal account.' The latter part of the memorandum refers to bans on 'parcels of eatables of any kind' and smoking which is 'against the regulations of the Navy until the age of 18' and 'special medicines'. The memorandum concludes: 'To avoid Cadets wearing underclothing of insufficient warmth it is requested Parents will only send back with them underclothing suitable for the time of year. As regards pocket money the recognised sum of £1 on return from leave is considered amply sufficient for all ordinary requirements. Should Parents consider it necessary to send more they are asked to impress on the Cadet that the money should be lodged at once in the Cadet Bank whence it can be readily withdrawn under the Cadet Bank regulations.'

The speech is preceded by the following: 'Admiral Sir David Beatty Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Fleet delivered the following address on board the U.S.S. “New York†on 1 December before the detachment of the American Sixth Battle Squadron from the Grand Fleet'. Beatty states that he has 'received messages from several people offering sympathy to the Grand Fleet' that it was 'unable to strike their blow for the freedom of the world': 'I had always certain misgivings and when the Sixth Battle Squadron became part of the Grand Fleet those misgivings were doubly strengthened and I knew they would throw up their hands. Apparently the Sixth Battle Squadron was the straw that broke the camel's back.' Regarding the Americans and the North Sea he says: 'This is a queer place as you found … but I can say that those of you whom I have seen during the last twelve months seem to have improved in many ways if it is possible and I think the North Sea has a health-giving quality which must be put against all the bad points of which it has so many.'

‎Admiral David Robertson Macdonald 1817 1910 Scottish Royal Navy officer who served under six sovereigns his son David Macdonald‎

‎Admiral David Robertson-Macdonald. Autograph transcripts of 3 documents relating to his defence of Kororarika NZ against an attack by 'natives' during the Flagstaff War. With 88 eighty-eight newspaper obituaries and other biographical matter.‎

‎Edinburgh Scotland; Kororarika Nelson and Auckland New Zealand. The transcripts made by the Admiral towards the end of his life from documents dating from 1845. The newspaper obituaries all dating from 1910. Other matter from 1918. At the outbreak of the Flagstaff War Robertson-Macdonald was serving as Commander of HMS Hazard. On 11 March 1845 he was severely wounded while leading the defence of the town of Kororarika now Russell from 'the attack of an overwhelming body of natives' resulting in the loss of six of his men. The three transcripts that form Item One below relate to this action and were presumably made out by the Admiral himself towards the end of his life in a shaky hand and with a number of errors. They are in a contemporary shaky old man's hand and in the residue of the family papers. Of particular interest is the first of the three transcripts which unlike the other two does not appear to have been published. The original has not been traced and it may be that only the present copy survives. This item together the rest of the collection described below derives from the papers of the Admiral's son David Macdonald Robertson-Macdonald. ONE: Autograph transcripts 4pp. folio of three documents relating to the defence of Kororarika. All three on a bifolium of ruled Britannia paper by Waterston & Sons of Edinburgh where the Admiral was resident at the end of his life. In good condition lightly-aged. The first of the three transcripts is a letter 2pp. addressed 'To David Robertson Esq Acting Command of H.M Ship Hazard' and dated from 'Auckland New Zealand 26 March 1845'. The Admiral notes in pencil that '213 signed' the document. The first paragraph reads: 'We the undersigned Inhabitants of Auckland and we the late Residents of Kororarika are desirous of expressing our gratitude to you for your gallant exertions in the late affair at the Bay of Island sic and our lively and sincere sympathy with you under your present sufferings from the many and severe wounds by which your life has been seriously endangered whilst defending the wives and children and the lives and property of British Subjects from the attack of an overwhelming body of well armed and determined Savages in open rebellion against the authority of British Law and the Majesty of the British Flag'. The second paragraph refers to 'the Hazards Officers and Crew who accompanied you in the Malava Pass when you so resolutely and completely repulsed a band of upwards of 400 natives'. In the third paragraph the authors state that they 'trust with confidence to the justice of the Rulers of our distant Mother Country'. In the second transcript - 'From The New Zealand Spectator April 5th. 1845' - 'the Settlers' conclude by stating 'That Mr Hector and other Civilians at the Bay of Islands set an example we hope all other Colonists will follow'. The third transcript is from an undated letter 1p. 'To Acting Commander David Robertson H.M.S. Hazard' from 'The settlers of Nelson who had signed the Memorial' praising 'the promptitude with which on a strange element you threw yourself almost single handed between your defenceless Fellow Countrymen and the hord sic of armed savages that was pouring down on them of the gallantry with which you acquitted yourself in the personal encounter and of the personal courage with which you continued to rally your small force till with a broken sword and many musket balls in yr. body you were carried from the field of battle'. The third transcript was published in the Wellington Independent where the original was said to be 'lying at the Examiner office for signature'. TWO: White card 13 x 8 cm with rounded corners carrying printed notice of the Admiral's death from The Times 18 May 1910. An unusual item presumably printed by The Times itself with the notices of six 'DEATHS' beginning with the Admiral's beneath the newspaper's banner and the date 'LONDON WEDNESDAY MAY 18 1910.' In very good condition lightly-aged. THREE: 88 press cuttings of obituaries of the Admiral 74 of them attached to printed slips of three London cuttings agencies 68 from the Temple Press Cutting Offices four from Woolgar & Roberts and one apiece from T. B. Browne Ltd and the General Press Cutting Association Ltd. the others loose.

R. Macdonald postmarked 25 February 1918; with anonymous manuscript transcriptions of biographical entries on card with letterhead of the Royal United Service Institution Whitehall.

Each title page in grey lettering. <br /> <br /> Published to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Moscow subway this two-volume set is a splendid photographic journey through the Russian capital's gorgeous underground. Indeed the Moscow subway was one of the Soviet Union's most revolutionary architectural projects with stations constructed as luxurious "palaces for the people" with its chandeliers reflective marble walls intricate mosaics high ceilings and heroic statues all of which creating an opulent space that was accessible for the city’s workers. <br /> <br /> The first designs for Moscow’s subway were submitted to city officials under the reign of Czar Nicholas II in 1902. Moscow wanted to rival earlier systems in London Paris and Berlin but the Russian city’s plans were repeatedly postponed due to the uprising of 1905 WWI 1914-1918 and the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. Metro plans were finally approved by Joseph Stalin in 1931 and construction work began two years later under the supervision of Lazar Moiseyevich Kaganovich. The Moscow metro finally opened on May 15 1935. <br /> <br /> Of the 120 plates contained in this work 60 per portfolio 104 are b/w photographic reproductions showing subway operators at work people waiting for their train passengers boarding and onboard trains as well as outside and inside views of the Russian capital's subway infrastructure. Some photographs depict bas-reliefs friezes marble and bronze statues. 16 plates are color illustrations of various stations.

‎Admiral Fremantle; Titanic Autograph Letter Signed "ER Fremantle" to unnamed correspondent author of a Poem about the sinking of the Titanic congratulating and criticising.‎

‎Headed 44 Lower Sloane Street S.W. 4 May 1912. Three pages 12mo bifolium very good condition. Text: "A line to acknowledge your stirring poem on the loss of the Titanic which I admire much. I suppose & hope that the story of the band is true but it requires some corroboration. May I make one criticism - Why 'tinselled' heroes- There is something in the pomp & circumstance of war no doubt but leaders in a forlorn hope are heroes all the same; and mere passive resignation to death in which the Chinese would surpass us is not so superior to the courage which induces a man to 'seek the bubble reputation e'en at the cannon's mouth' as you would put it- Excuse the criticism-". Note: I haven't managed to find a Poem about the sinking of the Titanic with the word "tinselled" in it. [Headed] 44 Lower Sloane Street, S.W., 4 May [1912?] unknown‎
