Añadir al carrito3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with traces of mount, and red wax seal, adhering to the reverse of the second leaf, which is franked (the franker's name and signature illegible) to 'Sir John Phippart [sic] | &c &c | No 8 New Burlington St'. Slight loss to one corner of second leaf, from breaking op…en of seal, with damage to one word of text. The recipient is the naval writer John Philippart (c.1784-1874), and the address is in fact that of the publishing house of Colburn and Bentley, publishers of the Naval and Military Gazette of which Philippart was the editor. The letter, which concerns a contribution to that journal by Dundas, begins: 'Dear Sir | I shall send in a few days another conclusion to your journal which I think you will deem better worth insertion than my foregoing one. It contains the battle of Fuentes and some matter immediately succeeding'. Dundas hopes that Philippart will find room for the piece in the number for March, and explains that it will take at least as much space 'as the Artle you mention to be in the Jany No and which has not come to hand'. In a postscript he asks, 'If it is not a secre[t,] Pay who is [binded?] whose opinion in my respects coincide with mine?'.
[Battle of Jutland, 1916.] Eye-witness article titled 'H.M.S. "Ardent" and the Jutland Action. / By A. M.', i.e. Arthur Marsden, ship's commander and one of two survivors of her sinking, in 'The Britannia Magazine' (Royal Naval College, Dartmouth).

Añadir al carritoThis is an extremely scarce item, not held by the Imperial War Museum, and significant for the five-page eye-witness account it contains (pp.29-33): ''H.M.S. "Ardent" and the Jutland Action. / By A. M.', i.e. Lieutenant-Commander Arthur Marsden, who was in command of the Ardent and one of only two survivors of its sinking. It is… remarkable that he was allowed to disseminate such a candid account (for the perusal of naval cadets!) within months of the engagement. On cover: 'The Britannia Magazine / Royal Naval College, Dartmouth. / Christmas, 1916.' and printers' slug. 4to, 36pp and further three plates. On shiny paper and in brown printed wraps. Staples rusted and some leaves loose; some staining and wear, but in fair condition for such a frail survival. Containing - after list of officers, masters and cadets - editorial and 'chapel' notes, correspondence, articles, cartoons, reports of 'Soccer' and 'Rugger', 'Beagling Notes'. But it is Marsden's account that is of significance. Two extracts will convey the tone: 'The enemy ships suddenly switched off lights and "ceased fire." I could feel the ship was sinking, and said so to my 1st Lieutenant (Lieut. C. E. F. Egan) who was also on the bridge, and told him to get out the boats and rafts, or what might be left of them. I tried to get down the starboard bridge ladder, but that was shot away. The port one was hanging by a shred, and I slid down that. The Leading Telegraphist came up to me in the quietest and most matter-of-fact way and asked if he should make any report. I told him what to make, and he saluted, disappeared, and I never saw him again. The Leading Signalman came up and said in the most cheerful way, "Well, the old Argent done her bit all right, Sir." The ship was nearly gone; so it remained for us to try and save as many of the crew as possible.' And: 'I spoke to many men, and saw most of them die one by one. Not a man of them showed any fear of death, and there was never a murmur, complaint, or cry for help from a single soul. Their joy was, andn they talked about it to the end, that they and the Ardent had "done their bit," as they put it. While there were still many alive, a German came close and fired a star-shell over us. I could see her distinctly and was all for giving her a hail, but the men all said "No"; they agreed that they would sooner take the remote chance of beig saved by an English ship rather than be a prisoner in Germany. I was nearly done in once or twice in the first hour by men hanging on to me in the last stages of exhaustion and I was separated from my lifebuoy and was pulled right over in the water, but managed to recover myself and the buoy. None of the men seemed to suffer at all; they just seemed to lay back and go to sleep.'.

It seems highly likely that Beatty may have had this produced himself solely for personal presentation. This copy inscribed on the front free endpaper, "To H.R.H. The Prince of Wales from his First Commander of his Battle Cruiser Fleet i.e. Feb. 15 to Dec. 16, Beatty." Prince Edward, later Edward VIII - later still the Duke of Windsor - was commissioned in the Grenadier Guards in 1914 but was forbidden a combatant rôle for fear that he may be captured and used as a hostage. He was posted to the Staff of the BEF and spent most of the War abroad; "attached to various headquarters but essentially serving as a visitor of troops and general morale-raiser." [DNB] However, his younger brother Albert, "Bertie", who was to become George VI at the Abdication, was not forbidden active service and was present at Jutland as a sub-lieutenant on the Collingwood. OCLC records copies at NMM, Leeds and NLS.

Añadir al carritoA nice piece of WW2 RAF ephemera, written on the eve of the Battle of Britain. Scarce: the only copies on JISC at the National Library of Scotland and Bishopsgate Institute in London. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. The 'Text of the Letter' is printed across the centrefold, with an introduction on…the first page, reading: 'Among the personal belongings of a young R.A.F. pilot in a Bomber Squadron who was recently reported "Missing, believed killed," was a letter to his mother - to be sent to her if he were killed. / "This letter was perhaps the most amazing one I have ever read; simple and direct in its wording but splendid and uplifting in its outlook," says the young officer's station commander. "It was inevitable that I should read it - in fact he must have intended this, for it was left open in order that I might be certain that no prohibited information was disclosed. / "I sent the letter to the bereaved mother and asked her whether I might publish it anonymously, as I feel its contents may bring comfort to other mothers, and that every one in our country may feel proud to read of the sentiments which support 'an average airman' in the execution of his present arduous duties. I have received the mother's permission, and I hope this letter may be read by the greatest possible number of our countrymen at home and abroad."' The letter, in smaller type, begins: 'Dearest Mother, - Though I feel no premonition at all, events are moving rapidly and I have instructed that this letter be forwarded to you should I fail to return from one of the raids which we shall shortly be called upon to undertake.' Concludes: 'I count myself fortunate in that I have seen the whole country and known men of every calling. But with he final test of war I consider my character fully developed. Thus at my early age my earthly mission is already fulfilled and I am prepared to die with just one regret, and one only - that I could not devote myself to making your declining years more happy by being with you; but you will live in peace and freedom and I shall have directly contributed to that, so here again my life will not have been in vain. / Your loving Son'.

Añadir al carritoSee his entry, and that of his son, in the Oxford DNB. Hornby served as Superintendent of the Royal Naval Hospital and Victualling Yard at Plymouth between 1832 and 1838. This item is 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium with thin mourning border. Fifty lines, neatly and closely written. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with slight dama…ge and a few closed tears around gutter. Folded for postage. Signed 'Phipps Hornby', and with recipient ('My dear Sir') unnamed. Pencil note giving note by recipient at head of first page, giving prices for butter and cheese 'for the Year 1834'. A naval hero oversees victualling: 'I have been giving the best consideration in my power as to the price that should be fixed as a compensation for the Butter and Cheese now served to the Ordinary in the event of its being discontinued and am of opinion that if six pencec Pr. Pound for Butter and five pence for Cheese were allowed it would be as fair a price as could be put upon articles which must necessarily vary so much in value.' That price 'would not be opposed by the Ordinary here', and 'If there should be any grumbling it will arise from the Prices I have named not putting the Men in the Ordinary quite upon the same footing with the Men in the Dock Yard & Victualling craft, the Three halpence a day allowed to these latter being an excess over what I propse to give to the former.' He thinks that it is 'very desireable to get rid of this species of Provisions altogether, it being a Nuisance and a loss in all ways.' After a reference to 'Fresh Beef' he discusses the cheese he 'proposed to sell at our late sale', which, 'tho at present sound and good I should not get 20 shillings per Cat. bid at, so that it remains on hand, but if a private offer is made to this amount I will take upon myself to let it go.' He ends with a reference to 'Mr McIntosh' not 'settling his accounts: it is truly vexatious'.

Añadir al carritoAt 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 lightl…y 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. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper with slight chipping to corners and edges. Addressed to 'Principal Officers & Commrs. of HMs. Navy'. Reads: 'Gentlemen / His Majesty's Ship under my Command having arrived here this day, I have to request you will cause the necessary Steps to be taken for the Payment of the Company of His Majesty's Ship Juno, (who have been turned over to serve in the Emerald) as soon as possible, as I am in hourly Expectation of receiving Orders to proceed to Sea - / I am / Gentlemen / Your humble Servt / J.

Añadir al carrito2pp, folio. In envelope with stamp and postmark, addressed to Corden's Mill Hill address. Letter folded twice, and letter and envelope in good condition. He begins by thanking him for sending 'the inscribed copy of Ken Delve's "Story of the Spitfire" - a truly excellent book just jam-packed with detail, - he must have done a pro…digious amount of research to put it all together'. He is 'bowled over by the extent of [Corden's] munificence'. Rose finds it 'a continuing source of amazement that such a "cult" has developed over everything to do with the Spitfire, but it does reinforce the conviction that it was completely unique, and a real lady!' He laments the 'dwindling' of 'the number of aircrew' at 'the annual re-union of B. of B. survivors at Bentley Priory, Stanmore': 'about 40 this year, but of course there are still a few abroad and also several who are unable to travel'. He reports that the Ministry of Defence 'has sold the Priory and its magnificent parkland surroundings, (for a tidy sum, I believe,) but with a reservation that the centre part of the Georgian building will be kept to commemorate Dowding's management of the RAF during the battle, - (could be used as a museum, for reunion of survivors, for cadet training etc. -)'. He ends with renewed thanks for the gift, and in the hope that they may 'meet one day - but it'll have to be fairly soon, as I shall be 90 next June!'.

The Anson family will require 'four more beds than are now in the House, but she can herself supply two if that is any Convenience to Lord Holland'. Two of the four beds are for servants, so she suggests he 'might supply one best & one Servants best'. In conclusion she informs Lahee that he 'may communicate his Answer to the bearer who being Sir Thomas Hardys Confidential Servant can answer almost as well as himself on any point in question'.

In fair condition, lightly aged, with each leaf carrying in a margin a strip of paper from the mount. Several fold lines. Page one carries the half-penny tax stamp. In small print and double column. The entire number concerns the battle. Begins: '…Admiralty-Office, April 15, 1801. | CAPTAIN OTWAY, of His Majesty's Ship the London, arrived in Town this Morning with Dispatches from Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, Commander in Chief of a Squadron of His Majesty's Ships employed on a particular Service, to Evan Nepean Esq; dated on board the London, in Copenhagen-Roads, the 6th Instant, of which the following are Copies:' Parker's long letter to Nepean follows, including, for example: 'Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson, having offered his Services for conducting the Attack, had, some Days before we entered the Sound, shifted his Flag to the Elephant; and after having examined and buoyed the Outer Channel of the Middle Ground, his Lordship proceeded with the Twelve Ships of the Line named in the Margin, all the Frigates, Bombs, Fire-Ships, and all the small Vessels, and that Evening anchored off Draco Point to make his Disposition for the Attack, and wait for the Wind to the Southward.' A postscript follows, and then copies of two letters apiece from Parker and 'the Commanding Officer of Cronenberg Castle', Stricker (the latter in translation). This is followed by Nelson's account of the battle (signed in type 'NELSON and BRONTE.'), addressed from 'Elephant, off Copenhagen, | 3d April, 1801.' It includes: 'From the very intricate Navigation, the Bellona and Russel unfortunately grounded, but although not in the Situation assigned them, yet so placed as to be of Great Service. The Agamemnon could not weather the Shoal of the Middle, and was obliged to anchor; but not the smallest Blame can be attached to Captain Fancourt; it was an Event to which all the Ships were liable.' Nelson concludes: 'The Loss in such a Battle has naturally been very heavy. Amongst many other brave Officers and Men who were killed, I have with Sorrow to place the Name of Captain Mosse, of the Monarch, who has left a Wife and Six Children to lament his Loss; and, among the Wounded, that of Captain Sir Thomas B. Thompson of the Bellona.' The number ends with a long 'List of the Killed and Wounded in the Attack on the Enemy's Line of Defence, Batteries, &c. on the 2d of April 1801.'.
