Lamb Dublin 1756–1830 soldier and writer after somehow receiving an excellent education in English composition "at the age of seventeen he entered the army joining the 9th regiment of foot at Waterford. He quickly rose to the rank of sergeant and being at times attached to the general hospital acted as a surgeon's mate or even surgeon in emergency situations. In April 1776 Lamb . with his regiment . sailed for Quebec. For the next seven years he was involved in the American War of Independence about which he later published this detailed personal account" O.D.N.B. He describes many campaigns and his part in them including how after being captured by the Americans on two occasions he escaped and rejoined the British forces. He returned to Dublin in 1784 married and "for the remainder of his life taught at the free school in White Friar's Lane Dublin. He spent his leisure time writing two accounts of his life in North America his <em>Journal</em> of the war and a <em>Memoir of His Own Life</em> 1811 about the characters anecdotes plants and animals of Canada and New England. . He was a keen observer and a careful writer and his books - especially his account of a non-commissioned officer's experience of the American war - have since become an important source for historians of the revolutionary period and of late eighteenth-century warfare" O.D.N.B. His two books were the basis of two fictionalized accounts by Robert Graves.</p> Wilkinson & Courtney hardcover

An Original Three Sided 10 Downing Street Letter Hand Written and Signed by Prime Minister William Lamb 2nd Viscount Melbourne. Dated 1839. The letter written from 10 Downing Street while Prime Minister is regarding political matters and partly reads " . Many thanks for your letters I am ready to consider the Corn Laws . But I am not ready to put myself at the head of . " . " taking the advantage if the present prices under . to lower the rate of wages" . " in the House of Commons & thus we should pledge to Parliament against the measure . " any very lively interest in the question . I know that they may be assured" . etc etc William Lamb 2nd Viscount Melbourne 1779-1848 in some sources called Henry William Lamb was a British Whig politician who served as Home Secretary 1830-1834 and Prime Minister 1834 and 1835-1841. His first premiership ended when he was dismissed by King William IV in 1834 the last British prime minister to be dismissed by a monarch. Five months later he was re-appointed and served for six more years into the reign of Queen Victoria. He is best known for coaching the Queen in the ways of politics acting almost as her private secretary. Historians do not rank Melbourne's tenure as prime minister favourably as he had no great foreign wars or domestic issues to handle and he was involved in several political scandals in the early years of Victoria's reign.
