Initialled "[?]P 10/12" (10 December"2pp., 4to. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. A number of minor autograph corrections suggest that the author of the letter may not be a native English speaker. The letter begins: 'Now that the period of delay and doubt, and of consequent uncertainty and uneasiness, is over it may, perhaps, be permitted to express a feeling almost of relief and satisfaction that King Edward has decided to abdicate.' The former king's 'retiring disposition and sensitive temperament were not equal to the fierce light of publicity that always beats upon the Throne', and 'his mental poise and physical strength' have been 'undermined to the point of breakdown'. 'No other charitable explanation seems capable of accounting for his present obvious dereliction of duty. There can be few of his former loyal and loving subjects who were not ready to sacrifice their very lives for him; and yet he could not bring his mind to sacrifice for them a personal desire to wed a wife who already had not been able to retain the affection and fidelity of two husbands, and whom apparently he did not consider a fit and proper person to be his Queen.' He has brought 'dire distress to millions throughout the Empire', and their 'universal love and devotion to him' should be 'extended in full measure to the Prince, who has so nobly and bravely undertaken the task of succeeding him in such painful circumstances'. Accompanied by a newspaper cutting headed: 'AUSTRALIA'S "DEEP EMOTION" | STATE PREMIER'S APPEAL | SYDNEY, Monday.' From the papers of Lieut.-Col. E. B. Peacock.

He describes himself as '30 years of age, married, the son of hte late Col. Batty, of the Guards, and grandson of Sir John Barrow, Secretary of the Admiralty. I was educated at the London University School and at Cheltenham College, at both of which I obtained Mathematical Prizes; and on leaving the latter received the two frst of the accompanying Testimonials with reference to my suitability for official life, as I then thought of entering the Admiralty, but have since applied myself to the Fine Arts: and have, during 7 years, gone through the entire course at the Royal Academy, - thus acquiring a power that might possibly be useful to the Royal Agricultural Society, in making such drawings and plans as might be necessary. He has lived in West Sussex for two and a half years, 'in the midst of Farmers, whose acquaintance I have made'. The testimonials are from: W. Dobson, M.A., Principal of Cheltenham College; Sam. A. Ellis, M.A. Mathematical Master in Cheltenham College; late Scholar of St. John's College, Cambridge; Charles Landseer, Esq., R.A.

Folio, 1 p. Twenty-three lines. Text clear and complete. Good, on lightly-aged paper. His mother Lady Napier, who went to town the previous day, has 'taken charge of the 2 Vols of the Athenaeum' his correspondent sent him. 'Lady Napier has promised to call herself at Leicester Square & deliver the books to you'. If he should be in when she calls, Napier asks him to 'explain to her my theory as to the "Sources of the Nile", briefly embodied in the accompanying paper'. He asks him to either return the paper 'with your marks', or, if he thinks 'it will bear the test of publicity, could you manage to get it inserted for me in the "Times"?' In a postscript initialled 'E. N.' he states that the Athenaeum volumes are the only ones he has received, '& I have not heard of any others having been sent to Sir Charles Napier in Albemarle Street after I left London'. A long letter by 'E. ELERS NAPIER, Lieutenant-Colonel. | Braiswick-lodge, Colchester, June 28.', headed 'THE SOURCES OF THE NILE', was published by The Times on 30 June 1853. The identity of his correspondent is uncertain: At this time Routledge's shop was in Ryder's Court, Leicester Square.

A strict disciplinarian, the Duke was appointed Governor of Gibraltar in March 1802 and, as this letter describes, immediately set about dealing with what he considered the various abuses of the Garrison. His harsh discipline would precipitate a mutiny by soldiers in his own and the 25th Regiment on Christmas Eve 1802. The Duke of York, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, would recall him in May 1803 after receiving reports of the mutiny, but despite this direct order he would refuse to return to England until his successor arrived. He would be refused permission to return to Gibraltar for an inquiry and, although continuing to hold the governorship of Gibraltar until his death, would never go back. The present item is 8pp., folio. On two bifoliums. On aged and worn paper, with a number of repairs with archival tape, and the signature 'Edward' showing particular damage. A long and interesting letter, addressed to 'Lieut Colonel Lethbridge', and docketted 'No 8 - | Duke of Ks Letter from Gibraltar | 31 Octr. 1802'. He begins by apologising for a late reply, due to the 'uncessant occupation which I have had for the last six months, and the state of my health which suffered very considerably during the oppressive heat of the first five of them'. Before discussing affairs at Gibraltar, he deals with other matters, with references to 'the stigma that had attached to Colonel Ainslie and Major Forsyth' and arrangements made for the widow and family following 'the death of poor Lennox'. Lethbridge is stationed in Jamaica (where the Duke had also previously been stationed), and the Duke has heard that he has not had 'the most pleasant task' in putting his battalion 'to rights', and that his health has been undermined in the process. He advises him to apply to the Duke of York for a transfer to North America (where the Duke had previously been stationed), suggesting an exchange of battalions with 'Harris', who is 'a perfect Cypher'. He reports news regarding 'Colonel Gordon' in London, before turning to 'the restoration of tranquility at St. Domingo (for that we understand to be the Case), as it most materially tends to keep your people of Colour also in Jamaica in proper Subjection'. After discussing his need for 'superior Performers' among 'Musicians', he undertakes to 'write to the Prince of Wales in favor of your Brother Mr Christopher Lethbridge'. He now turns to Gibraltar, and the 'many Changes' which 'have of late taken place in this Garrison'. As Lethbridge is one of his 'oldest military friends', he is anxious, 'such of them as are to my disadvantage should not give you an unfavorable impression of me, I shall just mention, that on my first arrival, I found the troops in such a scandalous and disgraceful State of indiscipline, and every Department so full of abuses that it required every Exertion on my part to remedy the evil'. He explains that he met with 'a wonderful deal of opposition from those, who, from habits of indolence and debauchery, were roused to those of activity and regularity, and to what extent this was I shall leave you to judge, when I tell you that four fifths of the Captains & Subalterns were from the Irish Militia not a little tinctured by the doctrines of the times'. With great effort he has got them 'to look and act as Soldiers should do', but it has 'created a good deal of ill blood amongst the ill disposed, & whenever they can, with impunity, make my conduct the subject of Satyre, they will not miss the Occasion'. As his 'sole object' is to do his duty conscientiously, he treats their 'malicious attempts' with contempt. He concludes by expressing his own good wishes, and those of his mistress 'Madame de St. Laurent'.
