20884Warley Mount Brentwood 30 October 1901. 19pp foolscap 8vo. On five bifoliums. Neatly and closely written. In good condition lightly aged and worn. Tower's letter begins: 'My dear Dick I enclose a chart not present which will show you at a glance my yachting cruises during the past season'. The rest of letter consists of extracts from Tower's diary 4 April to 12 September 1901 describing with the care one would expect from an engineer 'one of the best long vacation cruises on record' and ending with a table of 'Distances sailed by me in Gwnfa' from Brightlingsea to Harwich Antwerp 'Abortive attempt from Flushing' Flushing Dover Portsmouth Dieppe Maestrand Copenhagen Kiel Brunsbutell Hamburg Cuxhaven Lowestoft' totalling 2135 miles. Tower adds this to the total steamed in another ship 'Ingani' 'making a grand total for the seaon of 1901 of 3508 miles'. In businesslike fashion Tower notes times position weather and significant incidents. A representative entry reads: 'Tues 13th. Very fine weather Lat 54.40 N Long 6.22 E by obs. At noon Wind dropped at 4.pm. We were amongst a fleet of German steam trawlers. Sent a boat to one of them and got a bucket full of fine Plaice becalmed all night'. See Tower's obituary in Minutes of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers vol.162 1905 pt 4 which describes his connection with the sea his 'principal work' being 'the gyroscopic “steady platform†for guns and searchlights … The device was submitted to the Admiralty and after being thoroughly tested was fitted to two gunboats on which it answered very well; but ultimately the Admiralty rejected the apparatus on account of the extra weight involved … Mr. Tower nevertheless proceeded to adapt the platform for passenger-seats on cross-channel steamers'. The recipient Sir Richard Harington 12th Baronet 1861-1931 would not succeed to the baronetcy until the death of his father in 1911. Himself a keen yachtsman he was a Puisne Judge in the High Court of Justice at Fort William in Bengal between 1899 and 1913. From the Harington family papers.

24929‘Yacht “Dianthus†/ Copenhagen / June 29th / 1899’. In this letter Tower describes his personal experience of the winning of the North Sea trophy by C. L. Salaman’s 35-ton yacht Dianthus. 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition on aged paper chipped at head. Folded for postage. Addressed to ‘My dear Dick’ and signed ‘Beauchamp Tower’. A long letter with 105 lines of text. He begins by congratulating Harington ‘on getting an Indian judge ship which will enable you to marry though I and all your other friends will be very sorry to lose you’. Writing from on board the winning yacht ‘Dianthus’ he describes how the contest for the North Sea Trophy began at Dover with the ‘Dianthus’ racing ‘the Inyone and Wave Queen’. In the nighttime fog the ‘Dianthus’ encounters ‘a steamer which we supposed to be the Ostend boat’ which ‘only just stopped her engines in time to avoid running us down. The next day the fog cleared and we were abreast of the North Hinder at noon distant about 5 miles. We had to leave all the light ships on the Dutch and German coasts on the starboard hand’. He continues his account of the contest with reference to ‘the Haaks light ship’ and those of ‘Terschelling’ and ‘Borthum’. Eventually ‘we sighted Heligoland right ahead. Inyone crossed the line at 9.32 pm and we crossed it at 9.51 but as Inyone had to allow us 4 hours we were the winner by 3 hours 21 minutes. The winning line was a search light ray thrown from a man of war and when our sails were illuminated by the ray they fired a gun and we knew it was over. The Emperor’s yacht “Haarzollern†was there as well as the man of war “Marsâ€. They told us if we waited 2 hours a tug would tow us to the Elbe but we remained hove to in a heavy sea till 4 am and no tug coming we sailed to the Elbe a torpedo boat towed us up the last reach to the canal entrance and nearly pulled us under water.’ Eventually they are ‘presented to the Emperor who gave us the cup and talked to us about our voyage’. After ‘a big dinner’ with ‘sweet Champagne’ they sail from Kiel arriving at Copenhagen from where they will shortly sail to Gothenburg. ‘Yacht “Dianthus†/ Copenhagen / June 29th / 1899’. unknown

Views was initiated by Willes Maddox under the patronage of Beckford who is found in the book's subscribers list. Beckford had moved to Bath from his estate Fonthill Abbey in Wiltshire in 1822 and remained there until his death. In 1826 Beckford employed a young architect named Henry Goodridge 1797-1864 to build the tower and its adjoining library about a mile away from Beckford's residence in Crescent. Beckford's Tower known initially as Lansdown Tower was built in Italianate neo-classical style on Lansdown Hill. The Tower and its attached railings are now designated as a Grade I listed historic building by the UK. It is the only standing example of Beckford's architecture. Though he did not live there Beckford used the tower as a showcase for his collection of art and fine books and its crowning cupola as a belvedere for taking in picturesque vistas of the surrounding landscape. The book reproduces drawings by Maddox in lithographs by C. J. Richardson. Maddox later gained a reputation for painting the portraits of eminent Turks and took up an invitation from the Sultan to work in Istanbul. Four of the book's 13 plates illustrate some of Beckford's objets d'art including ceramics ivories and metalware alongside his immaculate parlor furniture. The colored plates in order: I. Ornamental Title with View of Tower. II. Exterior of LansdownTower. III. The Vestibule. IV. The Scarlet Drawing Room. V. The Staircase. VI. View of the Belvedere. VII.
