réf. AQ30653s.i.: s.n. 1788 Manuscript on paper. Seven joined vellum membranes. A trifle creased and discoloured. Inscribed at foot: 'Examined by Thomas Lowley Deputy Clerk of the Pipe 10 July 1811'. An examined copy of a roll of foreign accounts dealing at a largely superficial level with the financing of troops stationed in Gibraltar Ireland North America the West and East Indies and associated plantations. Some specific sums are recorded such as the receipt of £300 18s 2d for the sale by public auction in Quebec of the brig Maria. Charges and receipts amounted to £3377122 0s 11 1/2d and payments and allowances to £1772059 19s 11d which after further allowances was reduced to a debt of £423277 2s 2 3/4d. Perhaps the most interesting inclusion is the list of deputy-paymasters and their stations and the numerous officials and the salaries which they received. The office of Paymaster of the Forces was established in 1661. By the eighteenth century it had become a political prize and potentially one of the most lucrative offices one could obtain during a parliamentary career offering a salary of £4000. At the time this roll was produced the office was jointly held by future Prime Minster William Wyndham Grenville Baron Grenville 1759-1834 and naval officer and politician Constantine John Phipps 1744-1792. .

1776160 p. 16mo. Original full leather binding. With a contemporary (American?) printed label: "WILLIAM NICHOLS Requests any person who may borrow this Book, to return it as soon as possible." With Nichols' manuscript ownership and additional manuscript presentations of Dr. L. Armstrong. Mark Akenside was a famed English poet and physician. His chief literary work was the didactic poem The Pleasures of Imagination (1744). Among his other works are the neoclassical Odes on Various Subjects (1745) and the Epistle to Curio (1744), a vigorous political satire. Akenside's conversion to Tory principles at the accession of George III earned him the appointment of Physician to the Queen. The early ownerships and label are especially interesting.

1803réf. 56968Windsor. May 12 1803. King George III Admits War with Napoleon "seems now so certain" A royal letter of profound import written entirely in the hand of King George III and signed "George R." Here the British King writes hastily to Lord Hawkesbury his Secretary of State outlining the lack of recent communications from his emissaries in Paris who were conducting peacetime negotiations with Napoleon after the failure of the Treaty of Amiens the year before. King George III mentions receiving dispatches from Lord Whitworth who was serving as the King's ambassador to France at the time; interestingly it was Whitworth to whom Napoleon threatened war if Great Britain did not evacuate Malta just a few months earlier in February 1803. Whitworth himself evacuated France the day after the present letter was written in full knowledge that peace negotiations were over. The King also relates the failure of French General Jacques Lauriston to arrive in London presumably for last-minute peace talks to prevent conflict. The King states that Lauriston's activities were likely intended to buy time for French negotiators. King George III then writes portentously beginning the second and final paragraph: "War seems now so certain that Lord Hawkesbury cannot too soon form the negotiations between this country and France into a Manifesto and state the conduct of the latter fully since the conclusion of the Peace as the cause of the steps we have been obliged to take." In other words the King is ordering his Secretary of State Lord Hawkesbury to state Great Britain's case for war with France. This is very likely the first admission by the King himself of the reality of impending war with France. Six days after the present letter was written Great Britain declared war on France sparking the long series of armed conflicts known as the Napoleonic Wars which would culminate a dozen years later at the Battle of Waterloo. Important letters signed by King George III are rarely offered in the market. Rarer still are letters composed entirely in his hand and signed by him as in the present example. Cheffin's Auctions in England sold a follow-up to the present letter also to Lord Hawkesbury and dated two days later on May 14 for £11430 in January 2019. That letter was bought for £55 in 1966. By comparison the present earlier letter was bought by H. Richard Dietrich for $92 at Parke Bernet's Fitzgerald sale on November 6 1963. It has remained part of the Dietrich American Foundation collection since then. A momentous political and diplomatic communication from the King of England to his Secretary of State resigned to the fact that war with Napoleon is at hand. 1p. on an 8¾ x 6¾-inch sheet. Left margin reinforced with thicker paper old folds. Mostly minor losses along left margin just touching first letters of several words. Very good. unknown
