Ney was considered one of the greatest generals produced by the French Revolution. He displayed diplomatic talents of a high order under the guidance and instructions from Charles M. Tallyrand minister for foreign affairs to the French Republic. Ney's retreat from Russia in 1813 was considered a masterpiece of strategy. He was the first to improve upon the old system of military tactics and founded the system which was then followed by the French armies. Ney's death was by firing squad for his supposed treason. This work was put together under the direction and management of the Duke of Elchingen Marshal Ney's second son.

171820000417Utica NY 1817-1832. General wear. Some separation at letter folds and along edges. A collection of six letters between the mother and children of the Angier family originally of Southborough MA. The most consistent part of the letters is opening with an apology from the children for failing to write their mother Elizabeth Angier and how this failure means that they have neglected her in some way. The letters date were generally send from upstate New York from towns near Utica NY such as Whitestone and Frankfort where several of the siblings namely Mary Elizabeth and Sabrina had relocated to. It appears as though one of the older daughters after marrying Augustus Baldwin 1794-1880 in 1815 moved to Whitestone NY to start a family. As the years continued several of Mary's siblings such as Elizabeth and Sabrina who never married moved to the area to for better marriage and job prospects. Two of the six letters are between a pair of the siblings. The letters generally consist of updates on their lives family and friends as well as numerous religious missives and some mention of their jobs mostly teaching that the sisters were engaged in. Additionally in some of the letters the siblings have written missives addressed to their siblings still living in Southborough. All of the letters are folded stampless posts. Measures 5" x 3 1/2" folded. Below are excerpts from some of the letters: "We were presented with a daughter 14th Nov but alas! She is not that joy or comfort we so much hope for we have been called to a bitter trial God in his infinite goodness has seen fit to afflict us in taking our child by death our afflictions are sent to try us and oh that they mite sic prove a blessing to us that we mite sic feel reconciled under all the alotments sic of divine providence in submission to his will and that we might in full submission say the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away and blessed be the name of the Lord." - February 2 1817 Whitestone NY from Augustus and Mary Baldwin to Mary's mother Elizabeth Angier "Aunt Haven has been sick since she returned from Boston with the nervous tooth ache. She had her tooth pulled and it broke a nerve and it had such an effect on her that it obliterated the whole of the nervous system so that she was not able to do her work for six weeks but she has got to be quite well now. Mr. Laban Nicholas wife Mr. Lees sister the one that was down when Mary went up the first time is deranged. She tries every way to kill herself. She once took her husbands razor and attempted to cut throat but was caught before she had completed the fatal deed. Twice her husband has found her with a rope around her neck and once got to her only soon enough to catch her in his arms as she leap sic from the scaffold one half minute longer and she would have been an eternity." - June 13 1818 Whitestone NY from Eliza Angier to her mother Elizabeth Angier. "I hope that he who has upheld you thus far in life will still hold you in the hollow of his hand lest at any time your feet should stray from the path of virtue and rectitude. And may he find your heart fast to him that when in health you may be an able to render to him according to his benefit. I am rejoiced to hear that there is any attention to the one thing needful with you. Oh that there may be many praying souls in that place and may we realize that we have an interest in your prayers. It would give a pang to any Christian to realize the state of this church and society. Religion is trampled upon like hearts cast before swine. we have reason to fear that wrath of an offended God is kindled against us and that he will come upon us with great judgment if we continue in this stupid state. Afflictions in themselves are courteous and I am not as an able to bear them as anyone. Yet they are sent for our good to restore are wandering feet. I would choose to be afflicted rather than remain in this Im feeling state. More the treacherous calm I dread then tempest bursting over my head. - August 3 1825 Frankfort NY Eliza Angier Warriner to her siblings Roland Angier and his wife Mary Marsh 1803-1866 "Eliza has become the mother of twins both daughters one we call Cordelia Eliza the other Frances Beattie they were born 20 April the life of the mother was disposed for sometime. We had two of the best nurses one was Sabrina besides all the assistance that I could render. Eliza is now so that she is just about taking care of the babes but not able to do much she is afflicted with the canker in her throat and stomach which keeps her and the babes in continual afflictions." - June 25 1830 Frankfort Alford and Eliza Angier Warriner to Eliza's mother Elizabeth Angier "The anniversary of my birthday which is tomorrow reminds me of my obligations to you the kindest and best of mothers who under God have been instrumental in preserving my life that I am so far from you as not to visit you often when I think that six years have rolled away since I saw you I am really astonished! And now that I have left my brothers and sisters is misterous sic To myself but for not writing to you I can offer no reasonable excuse I must played guilty this pleasant evening the moon with her bright Waze conveys my thoughts to my native home . I find many pleasant people here but in my dreams I visit Southborough inhabitants could I but you know where my mother is and what her enjoyment is in the decline of life it would relieve my anxiety. we had a very pleasant journey here we started from Utica July 30 in a canal boat in the front cabin 13 and number moving at the rate of 5 miles an hour able to read right net and sell. Mr. Simmons spent his time writing and reading his sermons which was very interesting to us when we got to Troy Thursday we had to lay up a few hours on account of the water for a kind a machine called the mud turtle which was scraping the mud from the river before we could cross the way to Albany then went on board a steamboat to New York saw a great many of the works of nature and a part then a coach convey the family to the New York shore then in a steamboat to Newark." - October 3 1832 Newark NJ Sabrina Angier to her mother Elizabeth Angier To view images click: https://photos.app.goo.gl/8yiDE57vHQQXnc7R7 <br/><br/>Elizabeth Newton was born on April 30 1763 to Solomon Newton 1734-1830 and Elizabeth Howe 1733-1818 in Southborough MA.

Very Good French Original autograph letter signed (ALS) by P.pon "[We hereby declare that Ms. L. Cassinelli occupied our house located in Pera Rue, Hodja Ali No 19. On December 1, 1887, and left him on September 30, 1899. That during all time, he did not pay me the tax... P. pon de la succession de feu le Comte A. de Camondo. [i.e. On behalf of the succession of Count A[braham Salomon] Camondo, (1781-1873)]. Probably it's signed by his advocate of Moise de Camondo. Recipient is not defined. Letter indicates one of Camondo family's houses in Pera, Constantinople. 26,5x21 cm. Completely in French. 14 lines. On a paper watermarked "William Brown & Co., London". William Brown and Co. were located in London in this 'St. Mary Axe, and 40 to 41, Old Broad Street, London, E.C.' address according to Grace's guide to British industrial industry; they worked on 'Lithographic and Letterpress Printers'. 1887 Registered as a Limited Company. Count Moïse de Camondo, (1860-1935), was an Ottoman Empire-born French banker and art collector. He was a member of the prominent Camondo family. As a child, Camondo moved with his family from their home in Constantinople, Ottoman Empire, to Paris around 1869, where he grew up and continued the career of his father, Nissim de Camondo (1830-1889), as a banker. He was born into a Sephardic Jewish family that owned one of the largest banks in the Ottoman Empire, established in France since 1869. Starting in 1911, he completely rebuilt the family's Parisian mansion on the Parc Monceau in order to house his collection of 18th-century French furniture and artwork. Working closely with the architect René Sergent, he created a palatial home conforming to certain 18th-century traditions, even planning the room dimensions to match exactly the objects in his collection. The entryway is inspired by the Petit Trianon of Versailles. The home includes a kosher kitchen with separate sections for meat and dairy. The dining room includes a beautifully-carved green marble fountain in the shape of a shell, with a dolphin spigot for the ritual washing of hands before eating a meal. Some highlights of his collection include a French silver service that had been ordered by Russian Empress Catherine the Great, a set of Buffon porcelain (with exact reproductions of ornithological drawings) from the Sèvres manufacturer, and perhaps the only existing complete set of Gobelin royal tapestry sketches. He married Irène Cahen d'Anvers, daughter of Louis Cahen d'Anvers, in 1891. They separated in August 1897 after her affair with de Camondo's stable master, Count Charles Sampieri, whom she would later marry and divorce. The children, Nissim and Beatrice, remained with de Camondo. The mansion was completed in 1914, but his son did not reside there very long, as he rejoined the French Army to fight in The Great War. It had been de Camondo's great hope that his son, whom he adored, would take over the family empire. Following Nissim's death in 1917, de Camondo closed all banking activities. He largely withdrew from society and devoted himself primarily to his collection and to hosting dinners for a club of gourmets at regular intervals. Camondo died in 1935, and the museum opened the following year. He donated the home to Paris's Decorative Arts society as a museum (Musée Nissim de Camondo) in honor of the loss of his son Nissim in World War I. In addition to the collection, the meticulously-restored service areas, elevator, and woodwork of the mansion are noteworthy. During the German occupation of France during World War II, his daughter Béatrice, his son-of-law Léon Reinach, and their children (Fanny and Bertrand) were deported from France and died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. As a result, the de Camondo family died out.
