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'. …

Non-Book. Condizione: Good. No Dust Jacket. On offer is an original 1811 manuscript documenting the financial machinery of government in early Kentucky, and the involvement of some of the state's most prominent pioneers. At the center of the document is William Withers, an early settler of strategically situated West Point and Hardin County sheriff from 1811 to 1812, entrusted with collecting and remitting the county's public revenues to the Commonwealth. The document records the $10,000 state-revenue bond required of Withers upon becoming sheriff of Hardin County in 1811. Acknowledged in court on January 14, 1811, Withers and his seven sureties, all exceptionally prominent early settlers, jointly guaranteed that he or his deputy would properly collect, account for and remit every tax, interest payment and other sum owed to the Commonwealth during the year. Before professional bonding companies and centralized tax departments, Kentucky's county sheriffs personally collected the taxes and other public money owed to the Commonwealth. To protect the state against loss, a sheriff was required to enter into a substantial bond supported by financially responsible local sureties. The sureties form a remarkable cross-section of early Kentucky's frontier governing class. They include: Benjamin Helm, former sheriff and county clerk James Crutcher, Merchant, judge and legislator Samuel Stevenson, Legislator Christopher Miller and Adam Miller, brothers from a prominent pioneer family with Christopher a noted frontier scout who later served as magistrate, legislator and sheriffDaniel Waide, Elizabethtown innkeeper, postmaster, academy trustee and future state senator Christopher Bush, father of Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln [Note: At the date of the bond, Sarah was still married to Daniel Johnston; eight years later, she married Thomas Lincoln and became Abraham Lincoln's stepmother. ]Biographical sketches of the sureties plus William Withers himself can be found at the conclusion of the listing. The document captures state administrative processes and the personal stakes of accepting prominent roles and responsibility in early 19th century America. These men were not merely endorsing Withers's appointment but pledging their own estates to secure his handling of Kentucky's public money. An excerpt from the document reads: "We bind our selves our heirs Executors and administrators Jointly & Severally firmly by these presents. "The recto is a contemporary clerk's manuscript copy of the bond, including six of the subscription names and written indications " (Seal) , " rather than six individual autograph signatures. The verso, however, bears the names Christopher Miller and Daniel Waide. The hands seem different than that of the recto, so it is possible that the names on the verso are signatures of Miller and Waide, though this is unconfirmed. The docket reads: "William Withers.Shffs Bond Commonwealth1811 January Court ackd Copied." The docket records the bond's acknowledgment in the January 1811 court and its entry into the official county records. Rather than an isolated financial instrument, the manuscript preserves both the administrative process and the personal network through which public revenue was secured in frontier Kentucky. Biographical Notes of Men Named in the BondWilliam WithersWilliam Withers was Hardin County sheriff from 1811 through 1812 and was responsible for collecting and remitting the county's public revenues. He belonged to the early West Point settlement at the confluence of the Ohio and Salt rivers. By 1800, two of his daughters had married Robert Bleakley and William Montgomery, Irish-born merchants who opened an Elizabethtown dry-goods store. Withers was thus connected by family to the commercial community whose members helped guarantee his bond. Benjamin HelmBenjamin Helm was one of early Elizabethtown's principal administrators.[Listing truncated due to site's word limits, contact seller for remaining biographical sketches and any other questions].…
