21484The Queen's Lodge Windsor. 1 April 1796. For the context of this letter see David J. Cox 'A Certain Share of Low Cunning: A History of the Bow Street Runners 1792-1839' 2010: 'From 1792 at least two Principal Officers were also permanently stationed at Windsor after the King had received several death threats. These Officers were considered to be part of the royal retinue … William Anthony who became an active Principal Officer by 1800 had originally launched his career by attending the King at St James and was transferred to Windsor in 1796.' The unnamed recipient is probably Richard Ford 1758-1806 the London police magistrate acting for the Home Office the Duke of Portland being Home Secretary at the time. Cox supports the view that Ford 'could in some ways be regarded as a “quasi†permanent Under-Secretary coordinating Bow Street's assistance to the Home Department in its investigative work'. 1p 4to. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. Folded three times and endorsed on reverse of second leaf. Having received that morning the unnamed recipient's letter 'respecting the appointment on trial of William Anthony of the Bow Street Office in the room of Samuel Mayner lately deceased' he can report that 'Anthony is arrived & officiated this Morning & by the character given of Him & from His appearance He seems likely to do very well in his new situation'. He 'took an early opportunity' of mentioning to the king 'that the Duke of Portland had appointed William Anthony to be stationed at Windsor & also that I had received this communication thro' You all which arrangement His Majesty seem'd to approve of –'. 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. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' 1969 suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

21485'The Queens Lodge Windsor Saturday Janry. 9th: 1796.'. The subject of the letter is clearly a seditious communication found in the Windsor area and brought to Greville's attention which he is forwarding for the attention of the Home Secretary the Duke of Portland. David J. Cox casts light on the context in his 'A Certain Share of Low Cunning: A History of the Bow Street Runners 1792-1839' 2010 stating that from 1792 'at least two Principal Officers were also permanently stationed at Windsor after the King had received several death threats'. The unnamed recipient is probably Richard Ford 1758-1806 the London police magistrate acting for the Home Office. Cox supports the view that Ford 'could in some ways be regarded as a “quasi†permanent Under-Secretary coordinating Bow Street's assistance to the Home Department in its investigative work'. 1p 4to. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. Folded three times. The endorsement on the reverse of second leaf notes 'one Enclosure' but this is not present. Greville begins the letter: 'Sir Late Yesterday Evening two respectable Tradesmen of Windsor came to The Queens Lodge & enquired for me – on my seeing them they deliver'd the enclosed to Me which they informed Me had been thrown Yesterday Evening down the Area of one of their Houses & found by the Maid Servant who brought it to Them. On examining the contents they were induced immediately to wait upon me with it.' The 'only step's Greville has taken are to ask the men 'not to make mention of the circumstance or contents of the inclosed in Windsor – but I have given Maynard & Jealous Officers from the Public Office in Bow Street directions to keep a good look out & shall use every means which I think may be useful or proper on this occasion.' He is putting 'the original Letter' in the recipient's hands 'requesting that You will have the goodness to lay it before the Duke of Portland by doing which I shall have the satisfaction of knowing that every necessary attention will be paid to this business thro' the properest & best directed channel'. In a postscript he gives 'The Tradesmens names': 'Mr. Dixon Shoemaker in Thames Street Windsor Mr. German Taylor in Thames Street Windsor'. Cox lists 'Maynard' and 'Jeallous sic' among the 'particular personnel' requested to accompany the king on journey from Windsor to Weymouth. 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. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' 1969 suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

1912002650Cincinnati: By the Author 1912. First Edition. Good. Poster; 12 x 8; beige stock printed in black and illustrated with a photograph; paper fragile and age-toned; upper two corners clipped; old horizontal fold line with two thin closed cuts to edges; residue from a brown paper strip to upper margin of verso; in good to very good condition. A missing poster for two small children from Cincinnati it gave a detailed description of the two brothers the time they were last seen April 29 1912 and the speculation that "Hungarians" might have picked them up. Hungarian-Slovak gypsies emigrated to the US in the late-19th century primarily to Pennsylvania Ohio Michigan Illinois and New York. They would become well-known for making a living by playing music at cafes and restaurants and for being semi-permanently settled unlike the other nomadic Romani groups in the country including the Ludar the Romanichal the Black Dutch etc. Despite that the general perception of the gypsies' roaming lifestyle and strange and secretive culture gave way to widely-spreading antiziganism. An article in the Greenfield Republican from May 23 1912 stated that indeed Hungarian gypsies had been suspected of kidnapping the boys as the former had hurriedly left Cincinnati around the time of the disappearances but ultimately the children had been found by their father drowned in a feed-box in a stable.

189053980Pittsburgh: Department 0f Public Safety Bureau of Police 1890. 1890. PENNSYLVANIA. This is a 10" x 7 1/4" reward posted that is pasted onto a piece of cardboard with the message: $200 REWARD! ESCAPE FROM WESTERN PENITENTIARY ALLEGHENY PA. "A $100 REWARD each will be paid for the arrest and detention of PADDY McGRAW and JAMES DOBSON who broke away from the Western Penitentiary in Allegheny City on the evening of November 28th 1890." A complete description of Paddy McGraw and James Dobson are provided with a picture of Paddy McGraw provided. This appears to be a "mock-up" with all pertinent information typed and pasted on a stiff paper board and then used as a template for producing the needed wanted posters. On the verso is a similar "mock-up" by Porter's National Detective Agency of Nashville Tennessee offering a reward leading to the arrest of John W. Cullen. Roger O'Mara was Pittsburgh's top cop at the turn of the twentieth century. His long career as a policeman and private detective coupled with his flair for publicity made him one of the most well-known law enforcement figures in the United States during his lifetime. He recounted his cases in newspaper features and his exploits inspired many a detective story in dime-novel crime fiction. The presentation of the poster is a bit shabby but overall a good and serviceable copy of an interesting reward poster. Department 0f Public Safety, Bureau of Police, 1890. unknown
