ref. 25127‘Emerald Nore the 12 Decr 1795’. At the time of writing Berkeley’s newly-constructed HMS Emerald had just completed her coppering and fitting-out at Woolwich. Sailing to join Jervis’s Mediterranean fleet within less than a year she would be involved in controversy. Following the Battle of Cape St Vincent 14 February 1797 in which HMS Emerald was too lightly built to take part the victorious Jervis sent Berkeley off with a squadron of five ships in search of the disabled Spanish flagship Santisima Trinidad. On 20 February Berkeley declined to engage when he sighted her under tow. This decision was widely criticised and there were calls for Berkeley’s court-martial. Two months later on 26 April 1797 HMS Emerald was cruising with the Irresistible off the Spanish coast when they captured two enemy frigates one of which sank at sea. 1p folio.

1968ref. 9228gcsSan Marino: Huntington Library 1968. One of 50 copies printed by members of the HEH Preparations Dep-artment. Octavo plain green sewn wrappers 8 pp. Fine.”In 1893 only a year after William Morris had issued the Golden Legend in which his Golden Type first appeared 33-year-old Daniel Berkeley Updike left eh Riverside Press in Cambridge and set up his own establishment as a Typographic Advisor at 6 Beacon Street Boston. From his two-room office Updke wrote to Morris on August 3 1893. The manuscript archives of Updike correspondence in the Huntington Library reveal no further exchange between them.
