Very good. 4 pp. in ink on recto and verso of 2 sheets of personal stationery. 1 vols. 4to. Baring's Credo. A fine rambling philosophical letter from the poet and author Maurice Baring 1874-1945 discussing politics socialism H.G. Wells Huxley materialism Catholicism Russia and God. "I have finished your book. It has delighted me. I think it is one of the most interesting I have ever read. I am going to write the review tomorrow. I see nothing wrong with your politics; although I don't believe socialism would be a real remedy for the appalling injustice of things which exists now. An ideal socialism yes but I mean I agree with H.G. Wells in his view that if the 'Minority Report' people had their way we should be guarded like prisoners by wardens. I distrust the people who 'run' the poor. I agree still less with your religion. I am a catholic; but I have been an agnostic . " Speaking of his Catholicism he writes "it is to me a bridge to the Infinite . To me the arguments for materialism are more difficult to believe than the arguments for a divine Providence. And I agree with Huxley that if materialism is true there is not reason why we should talk of morality . unknown books

179819505Mauritius August 3 1798. Some slight loss from the seals; a little browned and soiled; in very good condition. 3 pages on a folded sheet plus integral address 12.5 x 8 inches approx. 480 words. Scandal and affairs of the heart from the remote outposts of American commerce. The American consul to the French colony in the Indian Ocean here writes back to New York "I have to inform you of having dispatched your Ship Huron Capt. Brown for Newport R. Island she left this Colony on 26 May for Bourbon to complete her chargement & sailed from thence about 15 days after for America ñ I must add the malconduct of your Capt. here has been very injurious to the Voyage by forming a connection with a bad woman who came passenger with him from Bordeaut sic ñ with the greatest difficulty he was made to sail without taking this person with him however the whole Island interfered against it & prevented her leaving the Colony because she was a favourite Actress & much wanted on the Stage however she is placed here at the expence of Capt. Brown who has placed funds in the hands of Mr. Roussell Manssell to be appropriated for her benefit and althoà Mr. Roussell is not ignorant that he has a family near Boston in the town of Marblehead he has become the confident & friend in this vile business. Capt. Brown on his arrival addressed himself to me & after finishing a part of his business because I declined the propositions made me respecting the Woman I explained to him with candour his Faults he after placed his property with Mr. Roussell who has engaged to pay her expences until Capt. B. returns to marry her. . . . This favourite woman in question was bound jointly with the other players in the sum of Ten Thousand dollars that she would tarry three years in the Colony in that Company of course these persons opposed her departure. Capt. Brown in order to effect it in my presence offered to destroy a bill of exchange of Ten Thousand dollars which was the amount of the passage money for the same persons. Since that transaction I have been kept in the dark for having found fault with Capt. BÃs conduct & threatening to put him in prison therefor - he did not choose to consult me thereafter." Lewis a Boston merchant had been appointed consul to Å’le de France by Adams and arrived in February 1798--but owing to the Quasi-War and the interruption of commerce betwen the United States and France arrived back in Boston with his family in June 1799. See the National Archives annotation to the summary memorial of Lewis to Thomas Jefferson March 20 1801. Captain Brown of the Huron is certainly Elias Brown; a notice in the Halifax N.C. Journal of October 15 1798 dated Newport September 15 reports the arrival of Brown and the Huron and news that he had prior to his adventures in love been boarded somewhere east of the Cape by the British frigate Garland on June 28--seven of his seamen were impressed and Brown was detained before escaping under cover of a squall. Brown further reports "that the national soldiers were all sent from the Isle de France but that the reports of it being declared independent are false." The first theatre troupe had been established in Port Louis in 1790 by a M. Laglaine though there was a hiatus after the smallpox epidemic of 1792 and one presumes the colonists were not likely to take kindly to seeing a keystone of their local entertainment whisked away by a Yankee merchant captain. For a glance at theatre in Mauritius and some sense of the upheavals on the island in 1798--though this affair does not seem to merit mention--see the 1840 memoir by Andre Maure Souvenirs d'un vieux colon de Maurice. Samuel Ward 1756-1832 the owner of the merchant brig Huron was a Revolutionary War veteran from a prominent Rhode Island family.
