HMS Gorgon was designed by Sir William Symonds and launched in 1837. Her direct-acting engines (in which the engine's cylinders are placed under the crankshaft), built by Seaward and Company, were the first to be fitted in any vessel. She was scrapped in 1864. 4pp., 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, but with the signature torn away. Addressed, with seal in black wax, to 'Benjamin Sharpe Esq | 19, Fleet Street, | London' (Sharpe's father had been resident partner at that address in the banking firm of Gosling & Sharpe. The first paragraph reads: 'Dear Sharpe, | I have just returned from the Gorgon, and my visit to her has verified the substance of our Conversation on Thursday last. | Her present armament consists of 4 32-pounder (bored) guns & 2 84-pounders (10-inch) on the weather deck. if properly armed she would also carry 12 32-pounders on the main-deck, but she is deficient in these. Her draft of water is about 15th. & 15 . 6 which, I believe, is what she ought to draw if her armament were complete, with the full compliment of men, water, provisions, munitions &c.' The letter continues with detailed criticism, with reference to a trail 'in the river in July last, with Ld Minto & other lords of the Admiralty on bd', the fact that 'her displacement had been sadly miscalculated',an incident on the coast of Spain, her engines and paddle-boards. 'To judge of Gorgon, whether she be a failure or otherwise, she should be tried as an armed vessel, carrying 16 32-pounders & 2 swivel guns [.] We have no more money that we know what to do with - no more workmen than we to keep pace with our wants in the shipwright department - & yet we are sacrificing both to the vain endeavours of adventurers in naval architecture, while there are plenty of persons in the service who might be advantageously employed in preventing the occurrence of these & other discreditable blunders if it were not the fashion to prefer speculative notions to the plain & unerring principles of the of naval Construction'.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. London: E. Marlborough and Co., 1894. First and only edition. This is a very good copy. The maroon cloth shows some faint staining to the front panel, with light bumping at the tips and corners, and slight lifting at the foot of the spine. Internally, the gutters are slightly cracked but remain firm. There is some loss to the final leaf of text. The book is inscribed to the front pastedown, 'R. B. Raffles 1898' in black ink. These are the initals of R. B. Raffles, Assistant Curate and licensed in the Diocese of London. His father was William Winter Raffles, whose uncle was Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. Loosely inserted is a letter by William Henry Macleod Read, the British statesman involved in the commercial, political, and social life of Singapore between 1841 and 1887. His card is tagged in, with an address added in manuscript: '16 Montpelier Row, Blackheath'. Written in black ink, it is a fascinating letter. It notes that the author of this title, a Dutchman, "is hardly fair to Sir Stamford". He continues with remarks on the site of Government House, as established by Sir Stamford Raffles, and the landscape of Java. It concludes: "I am an old Singaporean. I arrived | there in 1841 & left it for good in 1889 - | my father arrived there in 1828 & left | in 1836. | I knew Lady Raffles and Ellen, Mr | Flint & all that family. I mention | that to show that I write with earned | authority." Remarkably, as Read himself asserts, this letter is indeed written with earned authority on Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, Singapore, and Java. It is signed at the foot 'M. H. Read'. Overall, this is a superb association copy, linking the Raffles family with later scholarship on the life and work of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. Signed by Author(s).
