pp. viii, 100, 12 [Appendix : Rules and regulations of the Bute Docks at Cardiff] + Two engraved maps. Yellow endpapers. Thin 8vo. 230 mm. Original full cloth binding, decorated in blind. Cloth taped spine. Manuscript presentation from the Marquess of Bute to Robert Stephenson. Bute Docks: Following the development of the coal found in South Wales, the export of both coal and iron products required a sea connection to the Bristol Channel. In 1794, the Glamorganshire Canal was completed, linking the then small town of Cardiff with Merthyr, and in 1798 a basin was built, connecting the canal to the sea. By the 1830s, Cardiff became the pre-eminent iron-exporting port, shipping almost half of British overseas iron exports; between 1840 and 1870. Lack of proper dock facilities led Cardiff's foremost landowner, John Crichton-Stuart, 2nd Marquess of Bute (1793-1848), to promote the construction of the (West) Bute Dock. Designed by Admiral William Henry Smyth (1788-1865), hydrographer, astronomer, antiquary, and author of this work. It opened in October 1839. Just two years later, the Taff Vale Railway was opened, following much the same route as the canal. Bute created modern Cardiff, Wales and the docks there. Robert Stephenson (1803-1859) was an English civil engineer. He was the only son of George Stephenson, the famed locomotive builder and railway engineer (many of the achievements popularly credited to his father were actually the joint efforts of father and son). Robert also gained fame as a bridge builder. The book also has an early pencil ownership for: W.J. Lewis, The Mardy, Aberdare. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W151 Far Rt

22592High Court of Chancery London. Circa 1721. Mackworth was a flamboyant character but whatever his flaws he played a major and innovative role in energising Welsh industry in the late Stuart period. For information on him and his dubious ventures see his entries in the Oxford DNB where his first name is spelt 'Humphry' and the Dictionary of Welsh Biography where it is spelt 'Humphrey'. With reference to the present item the Oxford DNB states that after previous activities bordering on the fradulent 'In 1713 Mackworth organized a new joint-stock company the Mineral Manufacturers of Neath with himself as cashier-general and by concentrating on brass production he built a prosperous undertaking. Supporters within the Mine Adventurers tried to restore his membership in 1720 exonerating him from past accusations but Mackworth overextended his hand by attempting to influence the election of a new governor. A shareholders' petition to parliament led to further censure. By then Mackworth's Neath operation was also in difficulties. The final years saw him embroiled in a court action over the fraudulent sealing of a document and a customs' investigation into the importation of contraband. His personal finances were such that at his death his debts and legal costs exceeded his credits by as much as £2657 15s. 2d.' The present item which casts light on Mackworth's later financial activities is 3pp folio. On watermarked laid paper. Undated. Aged and worn but complete and entirely legible. Folded three times into the customary packet with the otherwise-blank reverse of second leaf endorsed with the names in Latin of the parties in the suit and 'Draft. Partners Petition'.Addressed 'To the Rt. Honble The Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain' i.e. Thomas Parker 1st Earl of Macclesfield 1666-1732. The plaintiffs are Sir William Stuart Sir John Wallis and Robert Knapp; and the defendants Humphry Mackworth his son Herbert Mackworth and Thomas Mather. The petition is set out in the customary fashion. To begin with it 'Sheweth That your Petitioners. in the year 1720 became partners with the Plts & Defts. in an undertaking carryed sic on at Neath for making & manufacturing Copper Brass Lead and Iron pursuant to certain Articles of Agreemt. bearing date the 1st. day of May 1713 - and have advanced and payd in Several very considerable Summs to be Employed as Stock therein; and from ye nature of the undertaking wch was to carry on several manufactures wth one and the Same Joynt Stock and the profits they have been credibly informed have been made from each of the said Manufactures at other Workhouses not so not so conveniently situated as Your Petrs are at Neath Yr Petrs. expected & well hoped that they might have recd considerable Annual Dividends out of the Profits arising thereby and also out of the profits of their Mines at New Yorke'. The document proceeds to describe in detail the plaintiffs' case from non-payment of dividends to 'Differences arising between the Plts. Stuart Wallis & Knapp and Sr. Humphrey Mackworth in relation to the Direction of the Governmt. of the said undertaking'. A Chancery suit is described with the decision of the Lord Chancellor. 'Your Petrs are credibly informed That the sd Partners Works at Neath and New York have since the said Order been entirely under the Direction of the said Stuart Wallis Knapp and Officers appointed by them and that they have recd Considerable Quantitys of Goods from Neath and New York and several sums of Money arising by Sale thereof And that no Receiver hath been hitherto appointed to take any Acct. thereof nor any care taken that the sd. Goods have been Disposed of to the best Advantage or the Money arising thereby applyed in Discharge of the sd Partners Debts to their Workmen & others at Neath & Elsewhere'. The petitioners conclude that 'the Said Undertaking will be entirely ruined unless some Speedy Method is taken to prevent the same . And Your Petrs. Fortunes & Propertys are like to suffer by the said Mismanagement & by the Differences above mentioned'. They conclude by asking that 'it may be referred to the sd. Master to Examine into the State of Your Petrs. Affayrs both at Neath and New York And the Disposition of their Money Goods and Effects And that a Receiver may be speedily appointed and the Managemt vested in Such Hands & put under such Methods & Regulations as may be likely to terminate in the Genll Good of the sd Partnrs'.

17594On Sydney letterhead 27 May 1881. 2pp. 12mo. Bifolium. Cut down at margins with loss to part of letterhead. Addressed to 'S Hague Smith Esqr Pitt St North'. He writes that he has not yet received a sample for 'the slabs of white marble 12 inches square' and asks him to 'give an answer to Odling Bros' as he wishes to know 'what quantity I could get from the person whom you <> & about the quantity also'. Manuscript note in another nineteenth-century hand at foot of second page: 'Autograph of Sir Geo Wigram Allen Speaker of the House of Assembly in Legislative Council - Also President of the Bible Society &c.' Hague Smith was according to the Australian newspaper the 'Observer' in 1900 'once upon a time a rather long time ago— one of the leading merchants of Auckland went bankrupt in 1871 In the days when copper tokens were current coin of the realm those bearing the effigies of Mr Samuel Hague Smith made his personality almost as familiar in Auckland as that of the Queen herself. He is now resident manager at Sydney of the Colonial Limited Fire Insurance Company and appears to be highly popular there. .' On Sydney letterhead, 27 May 1881. unknown
