‎Cunninghame Col. William‎

‎Autograph Letter Signed to General John Barrington Fort Royal Guadeloupe April 1 1759‎

‎folio two pages inscribed on four page bi-folium docketed in ink on rear leaf paper somewhat stained holes in paper affecting text of about seven words in upper portion of each page however the sense of the letter is unaffected else good. Cunninghame writes to Barrington concerning Governor Melvill who commanded the Citadel at Port Royal and the general state of affairs there during a crucial point in the British campaign to take Guadeloupe. Cunninghame writes: "Sir By what Governor Melville has explained to me of the express to you of the 30th the strain of it is so different from his first Reports of the Garrison that I need say nothing more than that he now saw with his own eyes and shall be henceforth guided by his own judgment. The true cause of the gloom of that report was his being much out of Order and Confin'd so that he was obliged to depend on the representations of those that had not a proper view of the state of this Garrison. But since he has had time to consider and reflect on every Circumstance attending this place. I beg leave to confirm the opinion you formerly had that no Officer of your army will fulfill the duty of a Governor with more intelligence circumspection and resolution than W. Melville Barrington had appointed Melvill governor a week earlier . We got here in time last night to make a tour of the works and its circuit superficially. The Enemy has got a Bomb Battery of one Mortar as the deserters say on the top of that green hill where a body of troops first appeared that day we attacked them under your command on the south side of the gallion. The gun battery reported is on the same side the trench under the large green tree the left commanding the Beach the right towards the Jesuits on the south of the gallion I think exactly as the place our people used to fire so much upon while we were here. There are two guns and will probably open in a day or two. I beg'd the Governour to assemble all the Officers tonight. In their prescence I explained to them the situation The reason of the commanding officer . and me being sent to them your intentions toward them and the absolute necessity there was of defending this place to the last extremity against an impotent . and dispirited enemy . I beg'd to know if any one had doubts or apprehensions It was answered there was none there that wou'd not chuse to die in the Breach rather than give up the place improperly." The island of Guadeloupe was one of the most profitable of all the French colonies and as such was a prime target of the British during the conflict of the Seven Years War. The British forces attacked the neighboring island of Martinique on January 6 1759 bombarding the town of Port Royal. The English forces under General Hopson and Commodore John Moore made an abortive attempt to capture the town. The bombardment of Basse Terre Guadeloupe began on January 23 1759 by Commodore Moore's squadron prior to its invasion by British troops. On January 24 an invasion force under General Hopson captured the town. General Hopson died on Guadeloupe on February 23 he was succeeded in command by Major-General John Barrington. The French surrendered the island to the British under General Barrington on May 1 1759 after a three month campaign. The island was occupied by the British for four years and was returned to the French by the terms of the Treaty of Paris in 1763. France in order to retain Guadeloupe signed away her claims to Canada under this treaty. Despite the condition problems a most interesting letter from this campaign material from which is extremely scarce. <br /> books‎

Front flyleaf gone Note: This title of 1687 is a philological tour de force of the Dutch classical scholar Gisbertus Cuper or Cuperus in Dutch Gijsbert Kuiper 1644-1716. He was professor of Latin and Greek literature at the 'Athenaeum Illustre' of Deventer from 1668 till 1681 and at the same time mayor of this old city which once had been a member of the Hanseatic League. Cuper has his own lemma on Wikipedia in Dutch only. In this title Cuper examines a deity of Egyptian origin Harpocrates who was imported into Rome in the second century B.C. and who was connected with the mystery cult of the Egyptian goddess Isis. Cuper's research began he tells us in the preface with a small silver statuette which he saw in the famous collection of his friend and scholar Johannes Smetius whom he visited in 1674 in Nijmegen. The statuette was found in the ground of the collector's hometown Nijmegen. It is a sculpture of a small boy almost naked and with a lotus flower on his head. He is winged and wears a small quiver on his back; the boy holds the index finger of his right hand against his lips as if to enjoin silence. p. 1: 'manus dextrae digito indice premit vocem & silentia suadet' From his right arm hangs a small bucket situla and around his left arm coils a snake. His left hand rests on a club around which another snake coils and to which a goose has been attached. At the boy's right foot sits a rabbit or hare. At his left foot a small bird of prey accipiter vel alia avis. p. 2 As soon as Cuper saw this aenigmatic figurine he decided to examine it for he could not imagine that all those attributes had been added without any intention. He recognized the boy from a Egyptian hieroglyph as Harpocration whom Egyptian superstition brought to Rome. He immediately realized also that this boy did not ask for silence non silentium tantum digito suadens but that he represented the Sun verum Solis imaginem referens. p. 2 In the rest of the book Cuper closely examines all the relevant passages concerning Harpocrates' iconography in ancient authors in mythology on gemmae coins inscriptions amulets etc. to prove his point that Harpocrates's finger was misunderstood from the Roman scholar Varro to Augustine and that the boy was not a diety of Silence at all. The boy did not ask for silence he argues but was a representation of the rising sun because the ancient Egyptians greeted and honoured it's appearance by pressing their index finger against their lips. The 'Harpocrates' was first published in 1676 in Amsterdam 'apud Theodorum Pluymer'. This 1687 edition is a reissue considerably augmented with 'Gisberti Cuperi Monumenta antiqua inedita' ca. 70 pages in which Cuper discusses recent finds. He offers a description and image of the finds and tries to explain matters with the help of ancient sources and the work of contemporary scholars. At the end has also been added 'Ad Gisb. Cuperum De Melanphoris epististola' 30 pages written by the French orientalist Stephanus Le Moine 1624-1689 who lectured in Leiden from 1676. His letter is a treatise on the black clothes melamphoroi which the members of the Isis fraternities wore when they lamented the fate of their goddess. This book of Cuper is tough reading the Latin is difficult and it abounds in philological pedantry. The Latin text of the second part of the book Cuper's 'Monumenta antiqua inedita' can be found on: stilus.nl/cuper/ where one can also download a translation of it into Dutch by Leo Nellissen who is an expert on Smetius Collation: 4 including frontispiece; A-Z4 Aa-Pp4 Qq2 Photographs on request hardcover‎

‎Liverpool Library Museum and Arts Committee 1906. 1st edition. Library buckram. V.g. /No Jacket. Rebound in red buckram with gilt title on spine internally a very good unmarked copy. With a short introduction by Peter Cowell Chief Librarian summarising the generous gift of a fine library in the will of Hugh Frederick Hornby of Wavertree along with the sizeable sum of ¬£10000 to "assist the authorities to provide a building in which to store the collection" - a job they did with aplomb. Whether Hornby would have approved of the use of this space for receptions and openings is an interesting question. His library comprised some 8000 volumes mostly chosen "to illustrate the history and progress of the graphic arts from early times to the present". It also contains a complete set of the works issued by the Kelmscott Press. There is also a range of fine bindings though this catalogue does not cover prints autographs and art bindings. 9 648 pp. Liverpool Library, Museum and Arts Committee hardcover‎
