Decorated by Society's seal on title page. An undated facsimile reprint of the original 1906 publication. An account of service at sea by James Anthon…y Gardner, as his father's servant, midshipman and lieutenant, on fifteen vessels, 1775-1802 (including the Victory, 1794-95) and subsequently as agent of transports at Portsmouth and in charge of the Fairlight Signal Station, 1806-14. He was then placed on half pay and retired in 1830 with the rank of commander. Gardner (1770-1846) attended the Naval Academy, Gosport, 1780-81 and his real sea service began on the Panther in 1782. As he did not intend his memoirs for publication, Gardner was able to provide an uninhibited account of life of board with criticism of his shipmates. At the end of each account of a ship are comments on fellow officers, petty officers, etc., e.g. Broke by court martial and rendered incapable of serving, for going on shore without leave to fight a duel. Admiral Sir Richard Vesey Hamilton (1829-1912) served in the Arctic and the Second China War and was appointed First Naval Lord in 1889. John Knox Laughton (1830-1915) served at sea as a Royal Navy Instructor and then pursued a career ashore as a teacher and naval historian. He became Professor of Modern History at King's College, London and co-founded the Navy Records Society in 1893, becoming its first secretary.

He was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet in 1849.

Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Very Good. A substantive autograph letter signed, "E. Hamilton," from Rear-Admiral Sir Edward Joseph Hamilton, 1st Baronet, KCB (1772-1851), to the herald and antiquary Edmund Lodge, dated London, June 25th, 1832. Hamilton writes in response to Lodge's letter, memoranda, and "New Peerage," supplying what he calls "ne…cessary corrections in my family" and identifying his line as "a collateral Branch of the Abercorn Family." Hamilton clarifies the entry for his father, Captain Sir John Hamilton, a Royal Navy officer whose baronetcy was created in 1776. He traces the family through the Hon. William Hamilton, brother of James Hamilton, 6th Earl of Abercorn, and asks that the relevant baronetcy dates be printed. In particular, he wants his father distinguished from Lieutenant-General Sir John Hamilton, another baronet, "to prevent future confusion," since "both their Christian Names" were John. Signed by Author(s).

['We are a sort of Brahmins'. Lord Napier, as British Ambassador to the Hague.] Long private Autograph Letter Signed ('Napier') to Sir George Elliot, discussing the 'malignant atmosphere' in Constantinople, Sir Hamilton Seymour, and diplomacy itself.

Aggiungi al carrelloAn excellent letter, in which a serving Victorian ambassador discusses the nature of diplomacy, and gives a vivid assessment of his former superior Sir Hamilton Seymour, whom he jokingly characterizes 'the great Elchee'. See both men's entries in the Oxford DNB. 7pp, 4to. On two bifoliums. In good condition, lightly aged and wit…h creases from folding into a packet. Minuted on reverse of last leaf. Addressed to 'The Honble. George Elliot' (he received his KCB in 1862) and headed 'Private'. Beginning on the subject of his brother-in-law Henry Lockwood (1825-1882), Napier writes: 'My dear Elliott, Many thanks for your kind letter informing me that Lord John Russell had moved Lockwood from Constantinople to Stockholm. It must be in many respects a great advantage to Lockwood and he will be very grateful to Lord John for the change. I hope that my brother in Law did not incur any blame from being involved in the dissensions of the Constantinople Embassy. I do not know all the circumstances, indeed I have hea[r]d one side much more than the other. The malignant atmosphere of the place could not have been more strikingly shewn than in a musunderstanding between a most amiable Minister and a very devoted and agreeable subordinate. Such at least was Lumley to Sir Hamilton when I knew him.' (Napier had served as first secretary to Sir Hamilton Seymour in St Petersburg, with John Lumley-Savile, the future Lord Savile, as second secretary.) Napier considers Lumley, as secretary to the Constantinople ambassador Sir Henry Bulwer, is, in Napier's view, 'most in the wrong. Bulwer has a natural fondness for the twilight in business matters and this fanciful partiality for secrecy and winding may have led him to keep some things close from his Secretary'. After a comment on Lords Cowley and Shatford, he continues: 'The great Elchee never gave me a key or shewed me a Dispatch, but when I wanted to know anything I would go to his room and talk to him about George Canning, or the greek Revolution; or Sophocles, or the Emperor Nicholas. Shaking such provocations in the face of that furious genius he would rowse up and open the flood gates of his conversation, one thing led on another, and at length he had disburdened himself of the past the present and the future. I was young and liked the humour of the thing, besides I admired the old man angry, so intense, so handsome, so austere, so like Cato, outside. And we cannot deny them generous sympathies and great services. Cowley [Henry Wellesley, 1st Earl Cowley, who had been Minister Plenipotentiary] was older and more than even, on a foot of equality. He could not ever abide him. In fact your Secretary seems the natural enemy of his Chief. Please God I may not find it so if I ever become an Ambassador.' Over two pages he discusses the 'most just and wise regulations' of the Foreign Office, and what may happen 'if your Ambassador is as wild as Nebuchadnezar and your Secretary not as discreet as Daniel', before continuing: 'You must have observed that Diplomacy is becoming a caste, that we are a sort of Brahmins. Every man has a son in the possession. The diplomatic qualities will become progressive and hereditary. The Children will be wiser than their fathers. I have myself a son who is as smooth as Jacob and who never smiles unless he meets another young augur.' He jokes: 'You must be prepared to have an application soon for an unpaid attachéship. My second son is turbulent. I intend him for a naval reformer. I suppose your brother Henry has some of the same.' This leads to a discussion of Elliot's wider family the Mintos, and the jesting reproach: 'You are allowing Elcho and The Duke of Argyle to run away with the sympathies of Scotland. This must not be. There will not be a piece of bannock left in the land for a true Whig.'.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Very good. Light wear along margins. Text and cartoons on verso. Size 13 x 8.5 Inches. This is a Grant E. Hamilton political cartoon promoting the return of Admiral George Dewey that graced the cover of the August 19, 1899 issue of Judge Magazine. The cartoon blends Dewey's flagship, the Olympia seamlessly into his p…ortrait, using the ship as the collar of his uniform. The portrait is full of imagery: Dewey's hair is labeled as the Philippine Islands and Manila, while his ear and eyebrows are fashioned from the American flag. His moustache is an eagle, based on the eagle illustrated on the Official Sea, of the United States. A sign floating on a buoy near the bottom of the image reads, 'To America'. When this issue of Judge went to press, Dewey was on his way back to the United States following the successful defeat of the Spanish Navy in Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. The nation had been gripped by a frenzied fascination with its new war hero, desiring as much information as the press could extract from a man who has gone down in history as incredibly shy and humble. Not given to self-congratulation, this cartoon references the fact that Dewey chose to forego a proposed cross-country tour by rail following his arrival on the West Coast and instead elected to return to the United States via the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic, and arrive in New York City. Admiral Dewey did not understand the nationwide fascination with him and the Battle of Manila Bay because, from his perspective, it had not been a difficult battle. Nonetheless, when Dewey arrived in New York after his six-month journey, he was greeted as a conquering hero by New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt, other dignitaries, and a throng of admirers. A parade in his honor marched down Fifth Avenue four days later and was witnessed by a crowd of over one hundred thousand. Later that year, Dewey mounted a short-lived campaign for president that never truly materialized into a serious attempt. A series of political blunders that offended several different constituencies effectively sidelined his candidacy. Shortly after his failed run, however, he was named president of the newly-established General Board of the Navy Department, a position he held until his death. This cartoon was drawn by Grant E. Hamilton and published on the cover of the August 19, 1899 issue of Judge .
