1932réf. 57824Yokohama: Yokohama Boueki Kyoukai 1932. Imperial Japanese Navy Training Fleet Visits North America A very rare collection of reports made by Imperial Japanese Navy medical officers in training during a training cruise to North America on board the armored cruiser Iwate in 1929. In accordance with Japan's 1896 Naval Expansion Plan the Iwate was constructed in Britain between 1898 and 1901 as the second of two Izumo-class armored cruisers. The Iwate saw considerable action almost immediately after its completion participating heavily in naval engagements during the Russo-Japanese War. After the war Iwate was reassigned to training duty and the ship ran nearly twenty international training cruises for Imperial Japanese Navy recruits and officers between 1916 and 1939. She returned to combat service in World War II where she was sunk by American and British forces during the aerial attack on the Japanese naval base at Kure in 1945. This book details the observations made on of one of Iwate's many global cruises undertaken in 1929. The tour took the young officers and cadets first to Hawaii before continuing to Victoria Seattle Tacoma Vancouver San Francisco Los Angeles Panama Cuba Baltimore New York D.C. and Mexico. Returning from North America the crew visited Hawaii again and a number of Micronesian islands. The articles that make up this account originally published in monthly installments during and after the tour were written by the medical officers on board the ship. They describe the impressions of each port and city visited by the crew and in keeping with their medical background provide a great deal of information on health and sanitation issues. Detailed reports about hospitals drinking water waste management epidemiology and even conditions surrounding sex work are supplied for different locations with particular attention paid to the Japanese expatriate community when present. A rare and unique account of North America from the point of view of interwar Japan.

Alexander 1852. may18. ix 72 pp. This is a fascinating report as the Navy tries to figure out if dehydrated peas beans carrots turnips potatoes etc. would be useful. The experiments were based on processes developed in Europe. They found "Edwards' 'Preserved Potato' as positively bad. Of Masson's vegetables we found the cabbage carrots and green peas of good quality. Gannal's vegetables. proved good in our hands. Lewis' 'Preserved Potato' we found good though not so beautiful a preparation as that of Gannal." Contrary to the reports trials at sea of Edwards' potatoes were successful. However I don't believe dehydrated foods were widely used in the military until WW II. Worn half calf over marbled boards. Text clean and fresh with some contemporary manuscript notes. C.

Howgego III D4 CS. The Jeannette expedition 1879-81 was led by Lieutenant-Commander George Washington De Long 1844-81. The purpose was to find a route through the Bering Strait that was warmed by the Pacific Kiro Shio current to an open polar sea. The 'Jeannette' became icebound northwest 350 Km and sunk in May 1881 some 400 Km from the Siberian coast. The 33 men provisioned three life boats to drag over the ice to open water for the nearest settlements in Lena Delta. On the water they became separated in a gale and one boat vanished. George Melville's boat with 11 men landed in an eastern bay of the Delta and were able to reach a village to find help. De Long's boat with 14 men landed 100 km away on the northern part of the Delta and with winter coming they were not able to find shelter or game and all perished by the end of October 1881. They were found by Melville's rescue party in March 1882 and the bodies journals and artifacts returned to the United States. This book is the formal Navy inquiry requested by a joint resolution of Congress for a formal Naval Court of Inquiry on the Loss of the Jeannette which was conducted by the Navy in 1882-3. The 85 day inquiry generated the first compilation of documents and witness statements on the expedition. The Navy Court found no fault in the conduct of the officers or men and commended the actions of De Long and Melville. In Part 2 the Navy transmitted the report of Lieut. G. B. Harber on the search for the remains and artifacts of the De Long party and return the remains to the United States. A separate Navy inquiry and report was submitted to the House of Representative in May 1884 48th Congress 1st Session House Ex Doc No. 163. This was a follow up of Lieut G. B. Harber U.S.N.on the search made by Liuetenandt Schetze for the remains of De Long's party and the return of the remains to the United States. This is consider and accompaning report to this 1883 report. Also in 1884 a separate House inquiry was called due to objections to the Navy Court findings by survivors and survivor's families to members of Congress. The family of Jerome J. Collins reporter for the New York Herald assigned to participate in the expedition and died with De Long's party specifically objected to De Long treatment of Collins Melville's failure to rescue the lost party and the "cover-up" of failures by the Naval Court of Inquiry. The Inquiry detailed with the testimony of 20 witnesses 74 documents filed excerpts of the journals of De Long Ambler and Collins and much questioning by representatives of the Collins family and for Emma De Long and George Melville. There were no conclusions findings or recommendations to the Navy from this inquiry. Government Printing Office unknown books

1850réf. Cat326United States 1850. Bound lined notebook measuring 8 x 10 ¼ inches. Inscribed "Stephen Decatur / U.S. Navy / 13 W. Cedar St. Boston." on flyleaf. Eighty-nine pages filled out totaling appx. 17000 words. Spine missing covers coming detached with wear especially to corners; contents excellent to Near Fine. Overall very good plus. An unpublished manuscript poem mourning the death of Stephen Decatur 1779-1820 written by a friend who "had known Commodore Decatur upwards of twenty years:- a great portion of that time intimately-under the auspices of a sincere reciprocal friendship." A hero of the Quasi-War War of 1812 and both Barbary Wars Decatur was killed in March of 1820 in a duel with Commodore James Barron over comments Decatur had made about Barron's conduct during the Chesapeake-Leopard affair. The poem which appears to have been re-written by a copyist around the 1840s or 50s was purportedly written in April of 1820 "at the spot where repose the remains of the great and gallant Decatur". The inscription on the flyleaf indicates that this copy belonged to Decatur's nephew also named Stephen Decatur and also a Commodore of the US Navy. Interestingly the author has made several pleas for secrecy about the text; he states that he "sought concealment" so that he could come to Decatur's grave "in as secret a manner as possible" and states of the poem that it: "is intended to be placed in an impervious case by the side of the 'Hero's Tomb' a tribute of affection- an offering of the Muse- and a memorial of the grief occasioned by his untimely death. Should it at any future day be discovered it will be remembered that it never was intended to go beyond the eye of the author and the sacred sanctuary where it is deposited - It is hoped there it will remain sacred in the concealment the author wishes which best suits the melancholly motive by which he has been actuated." It is not clear why secrecy about the text was so paramount to its author. Intimate and ardent platonic friendships between men described in terms of passion and love were neither uncommon nor shameful at the time. It seems possible though that the author's feelings may have gone a step beyond this; in particular in the preamble to the poem he spends a fair amount of words contemplating Decatur's looks: "With these intrinsic gifts he added a form full of beauty and grace an appearance that announced instantaneously the just pretensions of their professor exciting in the beholder an interest and prepossession sometimes felt although difficult to be accounted for. His look was impressive in the highest degree commanding the confidence of all who came within the influence of his eye and voice. "The person of Commodore Decatur was of a manly height most symmetrically proportioned erect & imposing - his bust of the finest order - the chest full and expanded the neck long and muscular the head gracefully affixed - the face oval; - the forehead ample; - the hair of raven hue and curling; the nose aquiline; - the mouth large and highly expressive - the chin full; - the eye the index and mirror of the soul of a deep dark brown quick and annimated in conversation grave and solemn in meditation; - and its force concentrated by inquiry or research awfully scrutinizing; seeming to penetrate the recesses of the hidden heart; - these constituents combined formed a beautiful and interesting countenance such as identified a Hero fitted for the glorious occupation and circumstance of man; - to command inspire and electrify." And early in the poem he laments: "Oh God! is here my friend so late I viewed / In all the health and strength of manhood's prime / His mind with bright intelligence endued sic / His manly beauty still untouched by time -". He also remarks of their early relationship that "As manhood ripened I the nearer drew". At several points while writing of the loss to Decatur's wife Susan Wheeler the poem verges on taking on her point of view: "No more behold the sparkle of his eye / His lip once warm with love's ambrosial sigh." Of course twenty-first century norms of interpersonal relationships cannot be imposed here and the author himself seems to have been married "Here the unyielding tie - / That made me cling to earth and fear to die: / O! it was bitterness from her to part - / Who by the force of love enchained my heart". Nonetheless the relationship was close enough for the author to have contemplated suicide following his loss finding "naught worth living for below": "The privilege of friendship still I crave / To bend in fond devotion o'er thy grave. / Dreaming of wild unutterable things / Such as a dark imagination brings / From this thy home- thy long and last abode - / Not by thy country but by friends bestowed!" He writes "No dread of a terrific judge had I: / And yet I could not bring myself to die." In a description of this poem from M&S Rare Books Daniel Siegel notes that Decatur's close relationship with fellow officer and childhood friend Richard Somers was discussed in Randy Shilts' book Conduct Unbecoming: Gays and Lesbians in the Military 2005. Shilts wrote that Decatur wore a gold ring belonging to Somers and after Somers' death was similarly inconsolable and continued to wear the ring for the remainder of his life. Much of the poem discusses Decatur's exploits with the Navy especially in the Barbary Wars "Turk upon Turk in dreadful slaughter piled" proclaiming that: "Known is thy name within that chieftain's hall - / Is seen inscribed on every mouldering wall - / Thy deeds are sung within his gloomy towers / Thus slaves beguile away his heavy hours - / . There stands thy name in deep indented mark / On sombre turrets now grown gray and dark". Following the poem are a number of annotations giving historical context for specific lines. These include a narrative of an amputation performed by Decatur during one of the Barbary Wars which the author claims to have witnessed: "Immediately after one of the desperate assaults on the Fortresses and Castles of Tripoli which were so often conducted by Decatur the Gunboats being withdrawn beyond point blank range he attended in person to the amputation of several limbs which it was found necessary from their mutilated condition to take off. While the knife was applied to the leg of a gallant fellow who had been wounded by a Cannon Shot he continued to asseverate till he expired 'God bless Decatur and damn the Turks.' This the author himself heard; being present he has the incident strongly imprinted on his recollection". The fact that the author was present for this may give some clues as to his identity. The manuscript was found among the papers that were auctioned in 2010 in a group with items belonging to George Washington Storer 1789-1864 along with Tobias Lear and Stephen Decatur papers. Storer did not begin his Naval career until his appointment as a Midshipman in 1809 ruling him out if the previous anecdote is about the First Barbary War. However in 1815 he commanded the USS Lynx which was part of Commodore William Bainbridge's squadron in the Second Barbary War.1 Another candidate is Rear Admiral Charles Stewart 1778-1869 who like Decatur served in the Quasi-War War of 1812 and both Barbary Wars. Moreover Stewart was a childhood friend of Decatur's; the two met as boys while attending the Episcopal Academy in Philadelphia. Stewart's first wife Delia Tudor was a Bostonian and the notebook bears the stamp of a Boston stationer despite Decatur's grave's location in Philadelphia. Finally the notebook's annotations quote a poem about Decatur in Tripoli written by Lieutenant James R. Caldwell. Caldwell was killed in 1804 in the First Barbary War but the poem appears in a book The Minstrelsy of Edmund the Wanderer 1810 assembled by Captain Robert Traill Spence 1785-1826/7. Spence served in this war and the War of 1812 and named one of his sons Stephen Decatur Spence.2 Whoever the author is the manuscript will be of interest to scholars of the US Navy during the Early Republic era and more broadly to those interested in close male friendships during that time. Provenance: The manuscript was sold in a group of papers from the Washington Storer estate by James D. Julia auctions to the bookseller Daniel Siegel of M&S Rare Books. Siegel offered it in his catalogue no. 89 at a price of $25000 where it went unsold and passed through Siegel's estate following his death to another dealer through Bonhams and was the purchased by us in 2026. A second copy of the manuscript is known auctioned in 1920 by Henckels from the library of Henry A. Smith. That copy was finely bound and originally came from the library of President James Monroe. 1 Gardner Weld Allen Our Navy and the Barbary Corsairs Houghton Mifflin 1905 293. 2 "Capt.
