Soft cover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. Large format, 24pp (19 numbered pages) book/pamphletwith navy blue paper covers which look to be on the same paper stock as the rest of the book and would appear to be the original wraps. This is one of quite a few books from AWF Fuller's collection, which we acquired from his descendants. As such, as with many in the collection AWF Fuller has inscribed his name and the date, 27 Aug, 1932 in the top corner of the ffep. Also on this page Fuller has written helpful some notes in light pencil about the book and it's origins. It reads: "This scarce pamphlet (the 1st edit.) which is also a large paper copy, was (2 words can't read) from the library of Dr. Howley, Bishop of London & Archbishop of Canterbury, 1828-1848. The Author was a friend of his & doubtless presented him with this copy." Underneath the Author's name Fuller has also written the note in light pencil: "& later President of the College of Physicians." There is some edge wear to the pages, perhaps even rodent nibbles in the bottom back fore edge corner, which has resulted in some having a slightly raggy appearance. Not withstanding that this book is a unique piece and with great provenance, therefore highly collectable.…

1p, 4to. Bifolium endorsed on reverse of second leaf: 'Ansd. 30th. | Transfg. an Address of Condolence from the County of Fife'. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. The subject of the address is the Prince Regent's mother Queen Charlotte (1744-1818), and is addressed to him rather than her husband George III as the king is incapacitated. Morton served as Queen Charlotte's Chamberlain between 1792 and her death in 1818. In the present letter Morton writes that he is transmitting to Sidmouth 'an Address of Condolence to His Royal Highness The Prince Regent, on the Death of Her late Majesty The Queen, from the Noblemen and Gentlemen, Justices of Peace, and Heritors of the County of Fife'. On their behalf he requests that Sidmouth 'will be so good as to lay it, in the most respectful Manner, before His Royal Highness'.…

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.…

1p., 4to. In good condition, neatly inserted into a windowpane mount. Bloomfield, 'somewhat more than a year ago', laid 'before the Prince Regent at Sudbourne Hall, two small productions' of Hall's, and he now wishes, 'as they are my mite to the good of my Country, Cottage poems also to be laid before him'. He feels that the 'concluding little poem' in the collection 'cannot displease his Royal Highness'. No copy of the original edition of Hall's 'Cottage Poems' is listed on COPAC, and only one copy, at Oxford, of the new edition of 1820.…

1p., 4to. In fair condition, on aged and creased laid paper with watermark '1810'.

Last stanza: 'Then rejoice, my good fellows, we've weather'd the storm; | From Valour flows Peace, and from Wisdom, Reform - | United and Happy, we'll cheerfully sing - | Our Sailors, our Soldiers, our REGENT, and KING.'

This document, signed by George IV as Prince Regent, and by the former Prime Minister Lord Sidmouth as Home Secretary, relates to Matthias Maher (1798-1865), a Royal Navy officer who was twice tried at the Old Bailey on a charge of forgery. On the first occasion, 6 May 1818, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity; and removed to the criminal asylum in St George's Fields. Maher was found sound of mind as the present document reveals by Sir George Leman Tuthill (17721835) and Edward Wright (c.1788-1859), the latter to die of disgrace in Australia. He was tried a second time on 15 September 1819, when he was convicted and sentenced to death. The sentence was commuted to transportation for life, and he left England on the Earl St Vincent on 12 April 1820, arriving in Australia on 16 August 1820. In Australia Mathias served as a Constable in D'Arcy Wentworth's police force at Parroquet Hill, helping to suppress the Parramatta bushrangers. 2pp, foolscap 8vo. Bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Folded twice. Good firm signature of the Prince Regent at head of first page: 'George P R.' Above this, in a small hand: 'In the Name and on the Behalf of His Majesty.' Royal Seal under paper in left-hand margin of first page. Signed at end of document by the former Prime Minister Lord Sidmouth, now Home Secretary: 'Sidmouth'. Beneath this, at the foot of the second page: 'Receid 7 August 1819 the body of the abovenamed Matthias Maher | W. E. Hardy, for Mr Brown Keeper of Newgate'. (William Erasmus Hardy (c.1773-1838) was 'clerk of the papers in the gaol of Newgate'.) Forty-line document, in a secretarial hand, addressed 'To Our Trusty and Wellbeloved The Right Worshipful The Resident and Treasurer and the Worshipful The Governors of Bethlem Hospital.' The document begins: 'Whereas at a Sessions holden at the Old Bailey on the 6th day of May 1818 Matthias Maher stood Indicted for several Felonies and Forgeries, and upon [his] Arraignment thereon, was found by [a] Jury, lawfully Impannelled for the purpose to be Insane, so that he could not be tried upon the said Indictment, and was therefore [] ordered to be kept in strict Custody, in Our Gaol of Newgate until Our Pleasure should be known. []' The document states that on 14 May 1818 Maher was 'removed to the Building erected in St. George's Fields, in the County of Surrey, situate on the side of Bethlem Hospital, for the better Care and Custody of Insane Persons charged with or Convicted of Criminal Offences', and that 'George L. Tuthill Esqr, M.D. and Edward Wright Esqr M.D.' have now certified that 'Maher is become Sane'. At foot of first page and endorsed on reverse of second leaf: 'Warrant to remove Matthias Maher back to the Gaol of Newgate from the Criminal Lunatic Asylum in St. George's Fields.' 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.
