On offer is a superb original 1803 - 1805 manuscript cypher and navigation book handwritten by a young midshipman James Maurice Shipton aboard the noted HMS Thunderer a ship forever in the history books as the ship that spotted the emerging Spanish fleet and thusly began the Battle of Trafalgar and the demise of Britain's enemies and sadly the hero of the day Lord Horatio Nelson. Notably Thunderer also took part in the Glorious 1st of June Battle against the French in 1794. James Maurice Shipton who would one day captain his own ship and reap accolades created this book while theThunderer worked blockade duty along the French coast. Mere months later the ship would engage in the Battle of Trafalgar and the decisive engagement by the British would end the rule of the French despot and dictator Napoleon Bonaparte. Included are a number of letters from archivists and historians providing background info on Shipton.

A substantial and uncommon early nineteenth-century antiquarian study of Babylon in which the Rev. Thomas Maurice uses the recent observations of Claudius James Rich to range across Biblical history ancient astronomy comparative religion and the monumental traditions of the ancient world. Complete with engraved title-vignette and four engraved plates including the supposed ruins of the Tower of Babel Persepolitan characters the Great Pagoda of Tanjore and a Mexican temple to the Sun and Moon. A characterful unsophisticated first edition in original boards rebacked and still very much the sort of copy collectors like: complete untrimmed and honest. By The Rev. Thomas Maurice A.M. Author Bio: Thomas Maurice 17541824 was a British cleric orientalist and antiquarian scholar best known for his Indian Antiquities and for his work at the British Museum where he served as assistant keeper / assistant librarian in the manuscripts department. His writings belong to the great age of late-Georgian comparative antiquarianism when Biblical chronology classical learning Asian studies and early archaeology were often brought into a single speculative framework. Synopsis: Work / historical context: Maurices Ruins of Babylon was published in response to the investigations of Claudius James Rich the East India Companys Resident at Baghdad whose examination of the site of Babylon is now widely regarded as a foundational moment in the modern study of Mesopotamian antiquity. Maurice takes Richs observations as the starting point for a broader inquiry into astronomy sacred and profane history ancient empire mythic memory and the architectural symbolism of stepped or pyramidal temple forms. The result is a distinctly early nineteenth-century synthesis: scholarly ambitious and often speculative but rich in historical curiosity and highly evocative of the periods encounter with the ancient Near East.

1830List2931Mahébourg Mauritius 1830. Single unsigned fourteen-page letter measuring 8 x 12 ¾ inches. Folded with some stains and pencil marks. Overall near fine. In 1830 Mauritius was a British colony captured from the French in 1810 during the Napoleonic Wars. It was originally a Dutch colony and the Dutch had introduced enslaved labor to the islands. Enslaved people were imported from Madagascar India and Southeast Asia to harvest the valuable ebony trees and later to farm sugarcane. It became a French colony in 1715 and among other provisions the French government awarded upper-class colonists large land grants each with twenty enslaved people to work them. Slavery was abolished in 1835 under British rule after which the planters still farming sugarcane turned to indentured servant labor from India and China alongside illegal slavery.1<br /> <br /> Offered here is a lengthy single letter written by an unknown author to an unknown recipient from Mahébourg in 1830 shortly before this radical change. The letter describes the lives and economic circumstances of the planters and merchants and of the non-white population particularly Malabar people and free and enslaved Black people.<br /> <br /> Noting that “every inch of ground that will produce sugar cane is planted with it†including “the former fine gardens to some of the Habitations†the author reports on the situation for sugar planters:<br /> <br /> “The price of sugar here is not more than 20/per Cwt. for the best quality which does not now remunerate the Planter as his expenses are becoming every day more heavy in consequence of their slaves diminishing . The want of Slaves induced many of the Planters to send for Chinese Labourers and several hundreds were imported at a great expense but unfortunately they did not answer and were obliged to be reshipped for their native Country again at the charge of those who sent for them.â€<br /> <br /> The author later notes that “nearly everyone of the Planters have heavy mortgages on their Estates and are obliged to pay this immense Interest which keeps them poor and will I fear ultimately ruin themâ€. In fact the planters in British Mauritius had extra duties on their sugar exports compared with their Caribbean counterparts. The shopkeepers on the other hand “calculate on retiring with a fortune in five years– therefore you will fancy what must be their prices also their profits.â€<br /> <br /> Though writing from Mahébourg the author describes the capital city of Port Louis at length especially its Malabar Indian and free Black residents—the lives of the latter particularly the free Black women seem especially grim. They write:<br /> <br /> “The Centre of Port Louis is inhabited by all the respectable people and many most excellent houses buildings– the Catholic Chapel the English Church amongst the number. The Suburbs to the West is the part occupied by about 3000 Malabars called ‘Malabar Town.’ – They are dressed mostly in white with Turbans ear rings c c and the females with ornaments in their noses and on their Toes as they generally go bare foot. – Once a year they have what is called a ‘Yamsee’ or a festival in honor of Mehomet which lasts for about a fortnight during which time they seem to get no sleep a continual beating of tom toms – jingling of bells – carrying pagodas which are made of various coloured paper and most richly ornamented followed by all the population of their Caste with their faces daubed with red white c and which has a most ludicrous appearance. The Suburbs to the South is called ‘black Camp’ – the Houses being very small and poor and inhabited by all the free blacks as well as many Mulattoes. – Also a certain class of females of the population of colour – who are visited immediately on the Arrival of a Ship the Crews soon enquiring the way to the ‘Camp.’â€<br /> <br /> As regards relations between the races the author recounts an incident that followed the 1828 abolition of the color bar which would ostensibly give the free non-white population the same rights as the whites:<br /> <br /> “The Theatre is a very good one but has been closed for several months past the Actors Actresses gone to Bourbon in consequence of the promulgation of the act ‘causing all free people of the population of Colour’ to have the same laws – the same privileges as the Whites’ fearing they ought come to the Theatre which they had hitherto been forbidden thereby cause disturbances as the French Whites detest them wd. not sit in the same box it was considered best to shut the Theatre which is a great loss to the Place it being the chief public amusement and indeed the only one we have here.â€<br /> <br /> Overall a detailed letter giving insight into life in a slave colony at a time when significant changes were on the horizon. Of interest to scholars of the colonial history of Mauritius and the second wave of British colonialism.<br /> <br /> 1 Truth and Justice Commission Report of the Truth and Justice Commission Vol. 1 Mauritius: Government Printing 2011. unknown

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911 "in appreciation of his many-sided literary activities and especially of his dramatic works which are distinguished by a wealth of imagination and by a poetic fancy which reveals sometimes in the guise of a fairy tale a deep inspiration while in a mysterious way they appeal to the readers' own feelings and stimulate their imaginations". The main themes in his work are death and the meaning of life. He was a leading member of La Jeune Belgique group and his plays form an important part of the Symbolist movement. In later life Maeterlinck faced credible accusations of plagiarism. Illustrated By: Edmund J. Detmold Illustrator Bio: Edward Julius Detmold 21 November 1883 Putney Wandsworth Surrey - 1 July 1957 Montgomery and his twin brother Charles Maurice Detmold 1883-1908 were prolific Victorian and early twentieth century book illustrators. The twins mastered the techniques of watercolour etching and of colour printing with copper plates buying a printing press and producing their own proofs at home. In 1898 they compiled a portfolio of colour etchings of animals and flowering plants done in the Japanese style. These were much sought after and were rapidly sold out. They collaborated on the etchings and illustrations for their first book Pictures From Birdland published in 1899. In 1911 Detmold worked on illustrations for Maurice Maeterlinck's The Life of the Bee. Edward Julius became one of the most talented of illustrators depicting animals and plants with an extraordinary understanding and making use of fantasy settings of architecture and landscape. He also published three short unillustrated works two of them issued anonymously expressing his spiritual beliefs. Synopsis: In an exuberantly poetic work that is less about bees and more about life Maurice Maeterlinck expresses his philosophy of the human condition. The renowned Belgian poet and dramatist offers brilliant proof in this his most popular work that "no living creature not even man has achieved in the center of his sphere what the bee has achieved." From their amazingly intricate feats of architecture to their intrinsic sense of self-sacrifice Maeterlinck takes a "bee's-eye view" of the most orderly society on Earth. An enthusiastic and expert beekeeper Maeterlinck did not intend to write a scientific treatise even though he details such topics as the mathematically accurate construction of the hive the division of labor among community members the life of the young queen and her miraculous nuptial flight and the movement and meaning of the swarm. An enchanting classic by one of the most important figures of world literature in the twentieth century and winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize in Literature this fascinating study is a magnificent tribute to one of the most orderly communities in the world. It is also filled with humble lessons for the human race.
