FIRST EDITION. Title & final leaf illus. by G. Cruikshank; title & final leaf darkened. Uncut in recent drab wrappers. 60pp. Cohn 695. Attacking George IV.

Front., vignette title, plates inc. one folding; front. & engr. title dampstained, plates sl. spotted. Contemp. half black calf, spine lettered & dec. in gilt; extremities sl. rubbed, marbling worn off both boards. William IV, 1765-1837, was the third son of George III. In 1830 at age 64, William succeeded his elder brother George IV when the King died without legitimate issue; he is currently the oldest person ever to succeed the throne. He endeavoured to be seen as a hardworking and down-to-earth monarch which proved popular with the people after the extravagances of his elder brother, at least until the Reform crises. William had a rather colourful personal life prior to becoming King - he lived with Irish actress Dorothea Bland (better known by her stage name Mrs. Jordan) for twenty years and had ten illegitimate children, five sons and five daughters. The two parted ways in 1811 due to William's increasing debts, and he married Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen in 1818, with whom he appears to have had a happy and faithful marriage.

12mo, 3 pp. Text clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper. 'Mr Westmacott [the sculptor Richard Westmacott the younger?]' has called on him, and he has 'shown him the settlement all down my Wall - I told him that you had seen it but did not contemplate any immediate danger - he said that Mr Valpy [Henry Valpy (fl.1851-1885) of the architects Burrell & Valpy] was out of town'. Westmacott will write to Valpy, as he thinks there ought to be 'a conference with' Lakyn, who 'should be requested to make a report'. The 'suggestion' Newton has made 'as to the Iron ties will be indispensable - & furthermore that the East wall near door to me should be rebuilt - as it must have weakened the North East angle'. The 'wall of Mr Slades house' has fallen down 'with a tremendous crash - while they were digging for the underpinning' [according to the Survey of London, Stephen Slade lived at 8 Argyle Street from 1819 to 1864]. From what Newton sees 'as to a preparation for a Wall' he fears that the builders 'intend to come beyond the opening of my light'. Asks Lakyn to 'look in' if he 'should be coming this way'. Newton moved from 6 Argyle Street, where he had lived since 1820, in 1866.

2pp, folio. On a single leaf. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to inner edge of first page. Folded twice.

Written out ('By His Majesty's Command') in a secretarial hand, and addressed 'To The Husband for taking up all Goods consigned from Barbadoes and the Leeward Islands on Account of the Duties of Four Pounds and one Half Pounds per Centum'. Signed at end by three of the seven Lords Commissioners of the Treasury: 'N Vansittart | Lowther | G C H Somerset'. Summarised at foot of second page: 'A. Dickie Esqre. £76 . 18 . 9 Pensions to late Servants of Younger Princes Quarter ended 5th. April 1820'. Thirty-eight line document, directing payment to 'Andrew Dickie Esquire or to his Assigns the Sum of Seventy Six Pounds Eighteen Shillings and Nine Pence', to enable him to pay allowances 'to the late Servants of our Dearly Beloved Brother William Henry Duke of Clarence, our late Dearly Beloved Brother Edward Duke of Kent and our Dearly Beloved Brothers Ernest Duke of Cumberland, Frederick Augustus Duke of Sussex, and Frederick Adolphus Duke of Cambridge'. Dickie was a confidential clerk and later partner in the banking firm of Messrs Coutts and Co., which handled the king's Privy Purse accounts. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

Docketed on the reverse of the second leaf 'Letter from the Admiralty mentioning a Warrant being signed for the Carpenters of the Valiant & Andromeda to exchange Ships for Duty.'

1p., on 29 x 7 cm piece of unwatermarked laid paper (probably cut down), with no indication of printer or date. Printed with the long s. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. 64 lines, arranged in eight eight-line stanzas. The first stanza reads: 'BRITAIN! brave and generous nation, | Listen to my plaintive strain, | Tho' exalted be my station! | Day and night I sigh in pain; | Here I came a helpless stranger, | With no friend to take my part, | Braved the stormy ocean's danger, | From home for ever to depart.' She appeals to her 'Good Uncle' (i.e. King George III, whose wife is described as 'your Queen, a pious lady'), asking him how he can stand by and 'Let a shameless woman trample | On decency's offended laws'. (A later reference to 'the Countess' makes it clear that this is Frances Villiers, Countess of Jersey.) The last stanza reads: 'There from empty pomp retreating, | Childless mother, widow'd wife! | My lost titles none repeating, | Let me lead a peaceful life. | When you think on my sad story, | Britons, drop a pitying tear! | And fair England's fame and glory | Shall to me be ever dear!' Excessively scarce: no copy in the British Library, or on COPAC or OCLC WorldCat, and no other reference discovered. From the papers of Sir William Hamilton (1788-1877), British Consul at Boulogne-sur-Mer from 1826 to 1873.
