185835408Barbados: n.p. 1858. Letter. Good. Letter. 8" x 10". 4 pages. 3 pages of contents. Page 4 clipped section at bottom. Paper folded and in very good condition otherwise. <br /> <br /> Letter written aboard the USS Atlanta at Barbados December 27 1858. Eggleston writes: "I am perfectly willing to leave Barbados and its free impertinent darkies. I would like to lasso some 50 or 100 and put them to work in a cotton field. I am convinced that such a field is the only one in which the darky character can be truly developed. Here they do nothing but stroll about the streets & chatter like so many monkeys from sunrise to sunset. We employ them to coal our vessels and how I have wished for Jack Stringer with a bull whip among them whenever I have had anything to do with them". <br /> <br /> Eggleston would later serve as a Lieutenant on the CSS Virginia and was later promoted to Captain in the Confederate Navy. Eggleston was one of the lieutenants of the Virginia Merrimac during its life under the Confederate flag. During his life Eggleston provided details of the legendary battle of the two ironclad ships which can be found under various web sites. n.p. unknown
pp. lix, 679, (xxviii). Folio. Engraved bookplate of: John Glaisyer, Chymist & Druggist, Brighton" Engraved armorial bookplate of Francis Frederick Fox. Contemporary full leather binding, joints cracked. A nice copy of an important and scarce Quaker work. George Fox (1624-1691), was the founder of the Society of Friends (Quakers). By nature serious and contemplative, at the age of 19 he entered upon a wandering quest for spiritual enlightenment. In 1646 he underwent a mystical experience that convinced him that Christianity was not an outward profession but an inner light by which Christ directly illumines the believing soul. Revelation was for Fox not confined to the Scriptures. In 1647 he began to preach. Although often the victim of mob brutality and eight times imprisoned between 1649 and 1675, Fox won many followers, especially among groups of separatists. In 1668 he prepared the first pattern of organization, which was for some years to serve as the discipline of the Society of Friends. The London Yearly Meeting was started in 1671. To confirm his followers in their beliefs and to spread the truths, Fox went in 1671 to the West Indies and to America, where he made arduous journeys to various colonies scattered between New England and North Carolina. Later he twice visited Holland. His sincerity, serenity, fearlessness, and powerful preaching are attested to by a number of his contemporaries. This Journal, with a preface by William Penn, was first published in 1694. An early owner of this book was Francis Frederick Fox (1832-1915) the 2nd son of Francis Ker Fox of Brislington House. He was an oil and colour merchant, President of the Grateful Society in 1869. Sadly, his wife Alice died in childbirth in 1870 and he was left a widower with six children. He was Master of the Society of Merchant Venturers in 1878 & 79 and Sheriff in 1894. He was a J.P. for Bristol and for Gloucestershire and an Alderman for the city from 1865. He wrote extensively on local history. Perhaps he was a descendant of the great Quaker George Fox. Smith p. 690; Sabin 25352. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA62

22407Whitehall 29 July 1707. 2 pp. 12 x 8 inches integral blank leaf neatly mounted docketed concerning Mr Holder one of the Councill of Barbadoes. The Board of Trade and Plantations regulated foreign commerce enforced trade and navigation acts supervised colonial administration and negotiated commercial treaties. In 1706 the colonial assembly of Barbados a British colony enacted legislation that led to one of the more unusual monetary experiments in history creating a fiat domestic currency that was virtually legal tender. The legislation sparked a strong protest from merchants slave traders and other English traders the creditors in the economy of Barbados. The British Board of Trade acted to force the redemption of the paper money but the episode reveals the secret war between debtors and creditors that often surfaces when monetary institutions are evolving.

Sir Philip Meadows 1626-1718 had a distinguished career as a diplomat representing Cromwell in international treaty negotiations.
