1807réf. 18934215 July 1807. Diplomatic deals in the Napoleonic Wars A royal warrant signed by George III at the head ordering the application of the Great Seal to the Convention of Subsidy between Great Britain and Sweden signed at Stralsund on 23 June 1807. The document is countersigned on the second page by the Foreign Secretary George Canning later prime minister. The warrant orders the Great Seal be affixed to two instruments "containing our Ratifications of a Treaty concluded & signed at Stralsund on the 23d Day of June last between us and our good brother the King of Sweden by our respective plenipotentiaries". Annexed to the document are manuscript copies of the instruments. Sweden joined Britain in the war against Napoleon in 1805 in the Treaty of Bäckaskog. In early 1807 France launched an offensive against Swedish Pomerania and by June Swedish forces were weakening. Canning saw Pomerania as the only viable base for continental military operations against Napoleon and agreed in the treaty of 23 June to provide British subsidies to Swedish troops. The Swedes nevertheless capitulated in August. Britain reinforced Sweden in 1808 as France's allies entered the war against her but in 1809 King Gustav IV was deposed and in 1810 Sweden aligned with France and declared war on Britain.

1799réf. 92483London: Printed by George Eyre and Andrew Strahan 1799-1824. Rare collection of three British Acts related to the regulation and abolition of the British slave trade including: An Act for better regulating the Manner of carrying Slaves in British Vessels from the Coast of Africa 12th July 1799; An Act for regulating.the shipping and carrying of Slaves in British Vessels from the Coast of Africa 28th June 1798; and An Act to Amend and consolidate the Laws relating to the Abolition of the Slave Trade 24th June 1824. Quarto decorative royal emblematic headpieces schedules of muster roles and seizures. Accompanied by a Copy of an Act Passed in 1817 by the Legislature of Antigua For Restricting the Exportation of Slaves to that Island Henry Goulburn 1821 and Copies or Extracts of Correspondence relating to an Expedition to be sent to the River Niger Vernon Smith 1840; both ordered by the House of Commons. In near fine condition. An exceptional piece of history. The anti-slavery movement to abolish the slave trade became popular among the British public following barrister Lord Mansfield's judgement in the Somersett's Case which held that slavery was unsupported by the common law in England and Wales. In 1807 Parliament passed the Slave Trade Act of 1807 which outlawed the slave trade but not slavery itself. Over two decades later in 1833 the Slavery Abolition Act was passed which made the purchase or ownership of slaves illegal within the British Empire and provided monetary compensation for previous slave owners.

réf. 19779St James 30 July 1796. 2 pages 9 x 7 inches plus integral address leaf gilt edges in fine fresh and attractive condition bearing two seals in red wax with ends of red silk ties SIGNED BY A RELUCTANT GEORGE III ON BEHALF OF HIS FORMER MINISTER TO THE UNITED STATES. The bearer of this letter George Hammond had returned to England after serving as the first British Minister to the United States of America in 1795. He was then promoted by George Grenville the Foreign Secretary to act as his senior Under-Secretary with George Canning serving as the second. Meanwhile faced with Napoleon's victories in Italy and the Rhineland Pitt's First Coalition was facing collapse. Grenville keen on an alliance with Prussia proposed that her support could be ensured by giving her a free hand in annexing either of the Belgic provinces or extensive domains in Germany; a plan that was turned down by George III with the cutting observation that 'Italian politics are too complicated for my understanding'. Nevertheless as Ward puts it the British Cabinet was in its desperation 'prepared to act on the degrading principle of gaining the help of a powerful State by conniving at its annexation of a week neighbour' Cambridge History of British Foreign Policy ii p. 267. Hammond as per our letter was therefore despatched to Berlin with George III's reluctant agreement. But he had no luck. For when he got to Berlin he discovered that the King was away and nothing could be done in his absence. So he let the matter drop. unknown

1701réf. 3775117/01/1801. A rare ALS of the King just weeks before yet another episode of his illness King George demonized in the New World for mental incapacity struggled throughout his life. He had experienced a poorly documented illness in 1765 but the episode beginning in 1788 was dramatically more serious. Earlier that year he suffered physical problems including jaundice or gall-duct trouble. After spending time recuperating at Cheltenham his behavior became increasingly abnormal. By October and November after returning to Windsor he was unmistakably suffering from a major psychiatric episode. Contemporary observers described a striking cluster of symptoms: extreme agitation extraordinarily rapid and incessant speech sleeplessness racing thoughts emotional volatility inappropriate familiarity delusions and at times violent or uncontrollable behavior. Treatments were typical of eighteenth-century medicine and could be brutal. The King was subjected to bloodletting blistering purgatives and emetics; some medicines contained substances such as antimony that could themselves produce serious side effects. In the interim he was unable to properly rule. This was a major English constitutional crisis with domestic issues playing out while a potential regency was being mapped out. What would they do with a living but ""mad"" King Parliament spent the winter of 1788–89 wrestling with the extraordinary question of how to create a regency when the monarch was alive but incapable of giving royal assent to the legislation establishing it. And then George recovered. By February 1789 his physicians were increasingly confident. On February 26 the medical bulletin announced the ""entire cessation of His Majesty's illness."" It was this illness that gave credence to the name ""mad King George."" Among the men at his bedside in 1788-9 was apothecary Robert Battiscombe. He had been treating members of the royal household since about 1780 and personally attended George during the King's famous 1788–89 episode of mental illness including cupping him applying and dressing blisters bleeding him and sitting regular watches over him. His surviving memorandum book records those encounters. In early 1801 the King's longtime apothecary John Devaynes died. For a time he wanted another apothecary Everard Augustus Brande to fill the role. He was a first-generation Englishman. But ultimately he wanted to reward Battiscombe. The Marquess of Salisbury is James Cecil 1st Marquess of Salisbury. He was a senior courtier and politician under George III and served as Lord Chamberlain of the Household from 1783 to 1804. Autograph letter signed January 17 1801 Queen's House to Salisbury. ""I am sensible of the Marquess of Salisbury's Attention in having immediately acquainted Me of the death of Mr Desvaines one of my Apothecaries. I as well as every one of my Predecessors have employed constantly Mr. Brande's Shop. I desire therefore that Mr. Brande Junior who is an Englishman may be appointed to succeed Mr. Desvaines. The other Apothecary is now an Old Man his employment less lucrative. The attention shewn me by Mr. Battiscombe of Windsor during my illness and his constant attendance when I am there will make him highly deserving of it when it shall it become vacant."" George suffered a serious recurrence of his mental illness in February 1801 less than a month after this letter was written. Beginning around February 12–13 the King became increasingly agitated talkative sleepless and eventually delirious at one point reportedly praying that God would either let him die or spare his reason. The attack coincided with an intense political crisis over Catholic emancipation: George believed granting political rights to Catholics would violate his Coronation Oath and the dispute contributed to William Pitt's resignation; George himself later blamed Pitt for having caused his illness. By February 22 the King was considered incapable of properly exercising his royal functions and members of the Willis family who had treated him during his famous 1788–89 breakdown were again summoned. Unlike that earlier crisis however the 1801 episode was comparatively brief and George had substantially recovered by early March. Battiscombe would in 1805 become apothecary of Windsor to the royal household. He stayed in that role for decades — he's the apothecary of Windsor recorded as handling the king's post-mortem preparations in 1820. <img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt=""historical memorabilia dealer"" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown
