23811‘The Hague / November 28th. 1860’. An excellent letter in which a serving Victorian ambassador discusses the nature of diplomacy and gives a vivid assessment of his former superior Sir Hamilton Seymour whom he jokingly characterizes ‘the great Elchee’. See both men’s entries in the Oxford DNB. 7pp 4to. On two bifoliums. In good condition lightly aged and with creases from folding into a packet. Minuted on reverse of last leaf. Addressed to ‘The Honble. George Elliot’ he received his KCB in 1862 and headed ‘Private’. Beginning on the subject of his brother-in-law Henry Lockwood 1825-1882 Napier writes: ‘My dear Elliott Many thanks for your kind letter informing me that Lord John Russell had moved Lockwood from Constantinople to Stockholm. It must be in many respects a great advantage to Lockwood and he will be very grateful to Lord John for the change. I hope that my brother in Law did not incur any blame from being involved in the dissensions of the Constantinople Embassy. I do not know all the circumstances indeed I have heard one side much more than the other. The malignant atmosphere of the place could not have been more strikingly shewn than in a musunderstanding between a most amiable Minister and a very devoted and agreeable subordinate. Such at least was Lumley to Sir Hamilton when I knew him.’ Napier had served as first secretary to Sir Hamilton Seymour in St Petersburg with John Lumley-Savile the future Lord Savile as second secretary. Napier considers Lumley as secretary to the Constantinople ambassador Sir Henry Bulwer is in Napier’s view ‘most in the wrong. Bulwer has a natural fondness for the twilight in business matters and this fanciful partiality for secrecy and winding may have led him to keep some things close from his Secretary’. After a comment on Lords Cowley and Shatford he continues: ‘The great Elchee never gave me a key or shewed me a Dispatch but when I wanted to know anything I would go to his room and talk to him about George Canning or the greek Revolution; or Sophocles or the Emperor Nicholas. Shaking such provocations in the face of that furious genius he would rowse up and open the flood gates of his conversation one thing led on another and at length he had disburdened himself of the past the present and the future. I was young and liked the humour of the thing besides I admired the old man angry so intense so handsome so austere so like Cato outside. And we cannot deny them generous sympathies and great services. Cowley Henry Wellesley 1st Earl Cowley who had been Minister Plenipotentiary was older and more than even on a foot of equality. He could not ever abide him. In fact your Secretary seems the natural enemy of his Chief. Please God I may not find it so if I ever become an Ambassador.’ Over two pages he discusses the ‘most just and wise regulations’ of the Foreign Office and what may happen ‘if your Ambassador is as wild as Nebuchadnezar and your Secretary not as discreet as Daniel’ before continuing: ‘You must have observed that Diplomacy is becoming a caste that we are a sort of Brahmins. Every man has a son in the possession. The diplomatic qualities will become progressive and hereditary. The Children will be wiser than their fathers. I have myself a son who is as smooth as Jacob and who never smiles unless he meets another young augur.’ He jokes: ‘You must be prepared to have an application soon for an unpaid attachéship. My second son is turbulent. I intend him for a naval reformer. I suppose your brother Henry has some of the same.’ This leads to a discussion of Elliot’s wider family the Mintos and the jesting reproach: ‘You are allowing Elcho and The Duke of Argyle to run away with the sympathies of Scotland. This must not be. There will not be a piece of bannock left in the land for a true Whig.’ ‘The Hague / November 28th. 1860’. unknown
24668All fourteen items printed for the House of Commons in London in 1886: items 9 12 and 14 by Eyre and Spottiswoode the rest by Henry Hansard and Son. The present collection reflects the state of Kipling’s India during the high summer of the Raj. At the end of 1884 Lord Dufferin replaced the Earl of Ripon as Viceroy and apart from a period of seven months between June of 1885 and January of 1886 when Lord Salisbury and the Conservatives were in power following the death of General Gordon and Lord Randolph Churchill was Secretary of State Gladstone and the Liberals were in power. All the items in the present collection are scarce: disregarding electronic reproduction the only copies on JISC LHD appear to be held by the deposit libraries and UCL. Each item was printed separately and it would appear from similar cases that the title and contents leaves were specially produced for this collection and a few others such as that of the Bodleian. Fourteen discrete items as evidenced by different gradations of fading in a sturdy rebinding in buff-coloured buckram with reinforced hinges and the original plum leather labels gilt laid down on the spine: ‘ACCOUNTS AND PAPERS / 12’ and ‘VOL 49’. A total number of 782 folio pages according to a nineteenth-century manuscript pagination. Binding and contents in good condition although the paper of the items is discoloured and somewhat brittle with a few closed tears here and there. Two leaves have been specially printed for the collection: one with the title and another with two pages of contents. The title reads: ‘Accounts and papers: thirty-nine volumes. / - 12. - / East India. / Session 1. - 12 January 1886 -- 25 June 1886. / Session 2. -- 5 August 1886 - 25 September 1886. / Vol. XLIX. / 1886.’ In manuscript on reverse of title: ‘This Book is to be preserved in the Libraries of the Home Office 1886’. ‘WITHDRAWN’ stamp at foot of same page. All but items 3 10 and 12 have details printed in characteristic fashion at right angles on the reverse of the final leaf. The contents arranges the items under the following headings: Accounts 1; Home Accounts 2 Financial Statement 1886-87 3 Income Tax Act 4 Loans raised in England 5 and 6 Loans raised in India 7 and 8 Railways 9 East India Progress and Condition 10 Revenue and Expenditure 11 Silver Question Great Britain and India 12 Transfer of Government to Simla 13 Statement of Trade 14.

20044Clarendon Hotel 24 April 1850. Four pages 12mo good condition. "I have just received from Ceylon a formal evaluation of my coffee property. The sums stated ampount to £8471 & as there is upwards of 800 acres of uncleared forest which is valued at £2 peracre the whole amount will be upwards of £10000. I send the paper in hopes it may enable your froiend . to effect a sale. His correspondent from Ceylon has enclosed a report "made by a Mr Simon Keir and Mr. George Hamilton Dundas" Keir Dundas & Co. were the "largest agency house" in Ceylon c.1850s" He continues " The sender of the Report is quoted as saying "I would still strongly advise that you put up the whole place to auction make the time of payment easy and surely you will get this low estimation value". Maddock then discusses the possibilites for the nauture of the sale instalments half shares etc "but I should prefer washing my hands of the troublesome speculator altogether and would only consent to a parnership with any one for the sake of the advantage of placing the management in the hands of one interested in the prosperity of the whole concern. The expenses are now so much reduced that I trust if I am compelled to keep this property and no peculair misfortune happens next season like the deficiency of coolies last year and a visitation of the Bug this year that it will yield a considerable income. The field that suffered most from bug is said now to be showing a prospect of 100 bushels an acre." He asks to be referred to anyone who might help when he arrives in London."

1929151011929. This rare pamphlet "Act No. XIX of 1929 Passed by the Indian Legislature.An Act to Restrain the Solemnisation of Child Marriages" was a critical step in protecting girls. At the time that this description was written there are no copies of this work in American institutions and OCLC search results are at best an estimate that can vary over time.<br /> <br /> Child marriage was historically prevalent in India where the International Center for Research on Women reported that 47% of Indian weddings in the early 20th century involved brides under the age of 18. Poverty was a driving factor in child marriage as families in financial straits could improve their economic standing by marrying their daughters to wealthier older men. Yet as other countries began making improvements for women and girls India too recognized the dangers inherent to girls' health and well-being when they were married and became mothers while still in their own childhoods. This pamphlet which is the only known copy according to OCLC Worldcat details the "punishment for male adult below twenty one years of age marrying a child punishment for male adults over twenty one years of age marrying a child and punishment for solemnizing a child marriage." While child marriage does persist in India its rates have gone down and modern India has joined the South Asian Initiative to End Violence Against Children SAIEVAC which adopted a regional action plan to enforce the marriage bans and end child marriage in and beyond its own borders. unknown

Malone and Hon.ble H. G. Gough". The two men at the left wear small round caps; the man at the right sits with one leg flung over the arm of his chair. <br /> <br /> The second image is a large group portrait of the regiment in civilian dress including wives and Indian servants at the colonnaded facade of an imposing building captioned "XIV Hussars Group Mess House Bangalore 1877".
