See his entry in Encyclopaedia Britannica. Not to be confused with Fleury (1815-1884), whose handwriting is markedly different. 1p, 12mo. On grey paper. In good condition, lightly aged. Neatly folded twice. Reads: 'Le Général Fleury se rendra avec le plus grand plaisir a l'invitation que Madame la Bne: de Seebach lui a fait l'honneur de lui adresser. / Paris. 2 Mai 1856.' The recipient is presumably the mother of the Alsatian artist Baron Lothar von Seebach (1853-1930).…

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. ANONYMOUS [Napoleonic Wars, French satire]. La Presse Anglaise, ou l'Enrolement Force. French caricature of British forced enlistment. Paris: chez Noel, [c.1815]. Hand-coloured print. Single sheet, 410 x 265 mm, with generous margins. Small tear at the centre of the lower edge, confined to the blank margin. Light scattered spotting and minor traces of former mounting at the corners. Pencil annotation "fevrier 1815" in the upper margin. Otherwise very good, with attractive colouring. A French caricature of British forced enlistment, showing a bewildered countryman brought before a seated official in a wig, his leg resting on a footstool. A smartly dressed military officer stands beside the prospective recruit, while a woman weeps and two men carrying staves stand behind the couple. The print mocks British recruiting practices through the contrast between the comfortable official, the elegant officer and the distressed country couple. Beneath the title is the claim "Dessine d'apres nature a Londres", presenting the scene as drawn from life in London.…

1p., folio. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly-aged with strip from stub adhering to one edge. Addressed on reverse of second leaf 'To | John Crossley Esqr. | Rochdale.' Crossley, the commanding officer of the Oldham Regiment of Local Militia, built up a notable collection of military memorabilia, which was dispersed after his death. As he is 'desirous that something which was once mine should occupy a place' in Crossley's 'collection of antiquities and Military Trophies', he presents him with a 'Snuff Box [.] which was the production of the French prisoners confined in this country during the late War'. …

Sir Charles Adam was great-grandson of the architect William Adam, and his father (also William Adam) was a friend of Sir Walter Scott. See the entries for Charles Adam and his father in the Oxford DNB. William Adam had a son - Charles's brother - named William George Adam (1781-1839), but the reference to 'Wm. Adam Esqr. Senior and Junior' appears to suggest the father. Each of the two items is 1p, 4to. They are on different paper stock. Both in good condition, lightly aged. Both endorsed with modern note in pencil: 'enclosed in Spottiswoode to W. A. - 23 July 08'. ONE: 'Captn. Chas. Adam - Royal Navy'. Ten items, beginning with '[22 November 1805] Attending Wm. Adam Esqr. Senior and Junior taking instruction for a Factory to get him Enrolled as a Freeholder of Kinross-shire', and '[21 March 1807] Drawing Mandate by him to Mr. Mathew Sandiland to procure his Enrollment in the Roll of Freeholders of the County of Kincardine & Copy - 1 . 5 . -'. TWO: Headed 'William Adam Esqr. In is first Appeal / Russell.' Docketed on reverse: 'Wm. Adam Esqr. / Fees in the two appeals / £19 . 5. 1d.' Twelve items, ending with 'In his 2d. Appeal with Do. [Russell] / Paid the same as in the first appeal, except the two first articles - 8 . 11. - / For various Postages, & Incidents relative to both appeals . . 1 . 11 . 6'.…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From 1821 to the end of his life Barnard served as a courtier, notably as Equerry to King George IV, and it would appear that the present item is written in response to an enquiry made to the recipient of the letter regarding paintings in the royal collection. He writes from Camford House, where Queen Adelaide, widow of William IV, had taken up residence. 4pp, 12mo. On bifolium with thin mourning border. In fair condition, on aged paper. Folded twice. Begins: 'The three Ladies in the Picture of the Prince of Wales playing on the Violoncello, are his three sisters, viz. the (afterwards) Dutchess [sic] of Brunswick the Princess Amelia, I forget who the third married but will let you know tomorrow - The Prince is evidently stepping out of tune and working away in true Amateur style, [Barnard was himself a Governor of the Royal Academy of Music] this is perceptible in his attitude & were it not the young Lady with a book in her hand shews it by her Countenance and by her stopping her ears'. He considers the picture 'a very clever one', and attributes it to 'Nollekins the father of the Sculptor' (i.e. 'Old Nollekins', Joseph Francis Nollekins, 1702-1748). In 'the picture of Charles the Second dancing with the Queen of Bohemia at the Ball given at the Hague by the States general' he has 'made out many of the figures', and has also done so 'at the one representing the Time with a Club drinking punch and Port - the one opposite where the Prince is peeping thro the door half open has the names of all the parties written on the back of it'. If the enquirer 'wants information about any of the others I know a little about most of them and should be happy to communicate all that I have learned to any one about to print as it is a great pity that the Clue to their History should be lost'.…
