‎Edward Griffith and Lieut,-Col. Charles Hamilton Smith‎

‎The Class Pisces arranged by the Baron Cuvier with supplementary additions‎

‎London: Whittaker and Co 1834 A good copy of the 10th volume in the Griffith edition of 'The Animal Kingdom arranged in conformity with its Organization by the Baron Cuvier' which is complete in itself. The Griffith edition has particularly fine detailed plates which are black and white in most copies and occasionally in colour. This copy has 64 black and white plates. The page format is unusually large - 25.9cm x 20 cm. It has been rebound at some point in maroon buckram cloth with gilt titles and the name Foyle to the spine. There is some darker marking to the spine; some rubbing to edges and joints and the corner wear. The rebinding has unfortunately attached the series title page to the front endpaper at the gutter and has done the same with the rear endpaper and the final leaf. The stitching is visible two leaves in at the front and one leaf back at the rear. However the binding is sound and clean. Contents are very clean with occasional light marking mainly to top margins and some offsetting from the plates. There is some marking to the series title page. Contents: series title; volume title; note thanking Dr P B Lord 1p; plate list 2 pp; text pp 1-680 with 64 plates. Whittaker and Co hardcover‎

‎HAL ?, ROYAL NAVY‎

‎1919 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF SEVEN 7 MANUSCRIPT LETTERS HANDWRITTEN BY A ROYAL NAVY OFFICER OF THE HMS TEMERAIRE DETAILING THE SHIP'S ROLE IN SETTLING THE POST WORLD WAR EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN‎

‎ABOARD HMS TEMERAIRE HAIFA CONSTANTINOPLE ISTANBUL 1919. On offer is a super historically significant modest archive of seven 7 original manuscript letters dated Haifa Constantinople Istanbul January 19th 1919 through March 23rd 1919 handwritten by an officer of Royal Navy named Hal aboard the HMS Temeraire of the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet. Hal writes 32 full pages of fascinating content as the British Navy continued its new role post World War I of settling the Middle East. His narrative features an overland journey to Haifa a description of Acre in Israel description and commentary on the tenuous relations and allied efforts between Russians Turks Germans the English and the French in the aftermath of the Great War together with firsthand commentary on naval involvement movement of ships and much more. HMS Temeraire cruised the Black Sea navigated the Bosporus Straits to the Mediterranean during this three month period. Hal twice mentions Colonel Keyes the renowned Admiral who was involved in the Boxer Rebellion and heavily involved in the organisation of the Dardanelles Campaign of World War I. Of particular interest are his writings of the HMS Temeraire's role ferrying the famed General Sir Edmund H.H. Allenby who was associated with the Egyptian Expeditionary Force during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign from Palestine to Turkey. Here are some snippets of this fascinating significant archive: "We are now on our way to Haifa in Palestine to fetch Allenby & take him to Constantinople We left Sebastopol on Wednesday arrived at Constantinople on Thursday left on Friday & get to Haifa tomorrow afternoon. He is going on well but will probably take some time to get quite well. In the meantime Brookfield has put on a fourth stripe & is thoroughly enjoying himself as acting captain. He is very unfussy and quite undisturbed at any close work on the bridge which is very pleasant. Old Underbill used to get very nervous & consequently troublesome. Next day I went to a big lunch party at the local Minister for Foreign Affairs. There were six of us from the ship about an equal number of French officers from each of the two French ships several French soldiers & a balance of Russians. Some of the older Russ were the funniest looking old things in weird old uniforms if about Crimean War date. They the men not the uniforms looked very moth-eaten & dusty a little like wax works as if they had stood undusted in a museum for 50 years. The host was a funny little jew - his wife was a pleasant stoutish party 45-50 possibly a lady & talked French quite passibly. The lunch itself was amusing otherwise I was bored stiff. Quite an interesting day yesterday. It started by the commander going sick which left me practically Rear Admiral of the Black Sea. I was just getting interested in the job & had already given a destroyer her orders for a fortnight's cruise and interviewed a bunch of Russian trade pots who are bent on opening up trade with England from here & probably still more intent on making 500 per cent on the deal when the commander recovered & took the job over about lunch time. Last night three soldiers officers arrived in a destroyer from - two English & a Russian. I heard that one of them was a Col. Keyes he seems to have taken great pains to be wherever there was most fighting. He was with the Romanians in their big scrap with Croutie at Petrograd just before he was done in: at Moscow the only Englishman there I Believe. He was arrested several times and after escaping generally returned with forged passports to look for more trouble. They seem to think a lot of him both the Russians & his own lot.we left here on 4th with Allenby & his staff consisting of four generals & half a dozen other officers. I will send you some photos in due course He is a big man about 6ft 2 I should think & only looks 45 though he is 57. His staff seems to think a lot of him & say that he did the big battle entirely on his own against the advice of all of them & of course it was the big success of the war. We arrived at Constantinople on 7th left again with Allenby on 8th and got here on 11th. That night it blew a gale & made landing impossible next day - fortunately we got the General & staff landed first. We are now staying here until Monday 17th when we return to Constantinople. It is rather an attractive spot to look at. It is by Mt. Carmel 10 miles south east of Acre and 20 miles east of Nazareth Brookfield is still "captain" & thoroughly enjoys himself & liked having all the generals to entertain en route. He & I and the Fleet surgeon dined with the General last night. He & his staff are most pleasant & it was quite enjoyable. On Thursday evening about 9pm our cable parted & we shot down the Bosphorus at about four miles an hour. We got another anchor down & pulled up just short of the Sultan's harem. Only a few hundred yards more & the old Temeraire would have found herself in the main dormitory> The skipper in fact had just asked me the Turkish for "Don't be alarmed ladies the Sultan has just appointed me Lord of the Bedchamber" - the only excuse he could think of when the anchor held. But next day he thought it advisable to clear out as our cables are rather old for these games. So we spent the day at Haidas Pasha just outside the Bosphorus & camp on here yesterday. It is a nice country spot." Overall VG. Very Good. 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall. Manuscript. unknown‎

‎UNIDENTIFIED MARINE FROM TENNESSEE‎

‎c1947 PHOTOGRAPHIC AND TYPESCRIPT JOURNAL OF A MARINE FROM TENNESSEE - SUPER RELIC OF WWII BY A CHARMING NEAR POETIC SURVIVOR OF GUADALCANAL‎

‎TENNESSEE NEW CALEDONIA GUADALCANAL SOUTH PACIFIC. Very Good. 1947. On offer is a sensational relic of World War II being a photographic diary with accompanying typescript journal commentary by an unidentified soldier from Tennessee. The Marine did a brilliant job putting together a handmade diary illustrated with two groups of photographs the kind you might have gotten in the PX during the War. Our sense is that the author has either returned to the area or hasn't yet left the arena of the War but soon after the War our author begins this charming retelling of experiences both good and terrible in the South Pacific. He uses twenty-five photographs and then details and stories relating to the people he was with or the scenes depicted in the photos. It is heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. The soldier does not tell us his name but he makes references to being from Tennessee. He writes of taking a ship to New Caledonia and of people he worked with and situations he encountered. A great deal of his time was spent in Guadalcanal. In one moving passage he tells the story of his friend and mentor Howard H. Gabby Gould III; a soldier during World War I who reenlisted after Pearl Harbor. He became a drill sergeant and then made his way to New Caledonia. There he learned that he was considered unfit for overseas duty. Heartbreakingly Gabby dies of a broken heart 2 weeks after being shipped stateside. This is one of the most unique WWII relics we have come across.

‎ALBERT 'BERTIE' SUMNER LAFONE Royal Navy Midshipman‎

‎1879 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT RELIC OF ONE YOUNG MIDSHIPMAN'S FORTUNATE FIRST CRUISE ON A SCIENTIFIC MISSION TO THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS AS HE CLIMBS THE RATLINES TO THE ADMIRALTY‎

‎ASEA ABOARD THE HMS TRIUMPH HMS TURQUOISE. Very Good. 1879. On offer is a super original manuscript relic of naval life and adventure for a young British midshipman and future Admiral named Albert Sumner Lafone during his service and first voyage on H.M.S. Triumph Flag Ship of the Pacific Squadron in the years 1879 - 1880. Titled 'Extracts from letters written by to his mother while on his first voyage' the elegant 9 x 7 inch black limp leather covers gilt panelling and marbled endpapers. The 104 pages are fair copies in a secretarial hand or perhaps a scrivener of the intimate descriptive letters to his mother of the future Admiral Lafone while under the command of the Arctic explorer Captain Albert Markham likely written soon afterwards by a friend or family member from the originals which are unaccounted for. Albert proves to be a gifted writer making for keen eyed observation and intelligence. He provides significant accounts of the 'stirring events' of the Battle of Iquique between the navies of Bolivia Peru and Chile sent from HMS Turquoise illustrated with a 'rough' chart ending in the ruse by which the Independencia's Captain 'endeavoured to ram the Covadonga. The threatened blow was skilfully avoided by a sudden rush ahead and the great ironclad ran right up on to the reef the surf breaking over her. the Captain set her on fire and the crew escaped in boats'. There follows a vivid account of the sinking of the Esmerelda 'each crew firing their guns as the water touched it. They went down shouting "Viva el Chile"'. There are visits to Acapulco and an Admiralty commissioned scientific survey and research voyage to the Galapagos Islands which was written up in the Royal Geographic Society Monthly Record in 1880 with its 'lava rocks' and San Francisco the Lafone finds himself moored at Esquimault in British Columbia where the ship is refitted and he devotes himself to observation of local culture: 'About 2 miles from the ship there is an indian village; the people are half civilised'. This doesn't prevent games of football with locals vividly described rowing races visits by trainee Japanese officers and a fund raising drive for a ball and provision of a social club despite criticism of 'the society about here' as 'regular republicans'.
