Former owner's name to…front end-paper *. As regards the original Foxhound Kennel Stud Book, "Unfortunately it has been found that many names of hounds have been left out which ought to have been included. .in looking up the pedigrees of very many hounds, one is brought up short by not being able to proceed further, as the name cannot be found in the Foxhound Kennel Stud Book, although the desired breeding of the particular hound may be of the best strain of the day. .It is therefore with the object of trying in some measure to repair this loss that I have undertaken to produce this Supplement to the Foxhound Kennel Stud Book." This copy bears the name "S.A. Hunter, M.F.H. Old Berkshire, 1941," and the inscription, in another hand, "From Lord Bathurst, V.W.H." This latter inscription is almost certainly not the author's signature, although this was presumably once the author's copy. .

In den WarenkorbSee his entry in the Oxford DNB. The present item dates from 1807, the year in which Bathurst sold the celebrated Apsley House ('No. 1 London') to the Duke of Wellington's brother the Marquis Wellesley, who sold it on to the Duke ten years later. It is now the Wellington Museum. This item casts an interesting light on the initia…l sale. 2pp, 4to. Thirty-four lines of text. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded four times. He is disappointed that the unnamed male recipient (presumably Wellesley's agent) has not called on him. 'For several days past I fully expected to see you, as it is quite necessary that I should come to a decision about some Articles which you consider as fixtures but which I not only thought but others have assur'd are not of that description.' The letter continues with reference to 'my Upholsterer Mr Blade' and his anxiety to 'shew every attention to Ld Wellesley's wishes'. He continues: 'the sooner we can come to an Agreement the better & the delay rests with you for Mr Blade has been here every day expecting to meet you'. He will leave 'what are always consider'd as fixtures' (he has admitted 'loose Grates & the Kitchen Table' to be among them), but he 'cannot allow my servants to proceed in the removal of my Family and Furniture untill [sic] those doubtful points are decided [.] on further Examination of the Catalogue there seems so many things that I find are not call'd fixtures in the Houses I have look'd at now that I must conceive it necessary to have a person on my Side of the question which I had no thoughts of till these doubtful things encreased'.

In den Warenkorb3pp, foolscap 8vo. On laid paper with watermark: 'GOLDING | & | SNELGROVE | 1811'. Aged and worn, with closed tears along folds, but with text complete and clear. The document includes two passages written in red ink which has faded but is still legible. The background to the present letter is given in Lambert's entry in the Oxf…ord DNB: 'On 4 June 1813 Lambert was promoted major-general, and was appointed to a brigade of the 6th division. [] Having been sent to America, he joined the army under Sir Edward Pakenham below New Orleans on 6 January 1815, with the 7th and 43rd foot regiments. In the unsuccessful attack on the American trenches, made two days afterwards, he commanded the reserve. When Pakenham was killed, and General Gibbs mortally wounded, the chief command devolved on Lambert. He decided not to renew the attack, withdrew the troops which had been sent across the Mississippi, and, after retreating on 18 January, re-embarked his force on the 27th. It went to the Bay of Mobile, where Fort Bowyer was taken on 12 February, and next day news arrived that peace had been signed.' The letter appears in its entirety in William James's 'A Full and Correct Account of the Military Occurrences of the Late War between Great Britain and the United States of America' (London: 1818). It begins: 'My Lord, | My dispatch dated January 29th., will have informed your Lordship of the re-embarkation of this force, which was completed on the 30th.: the weather came on so bad on that night, and continued so until the 5th. February, so that no communication could be held with the Ships at the inner anchorage, a distance of about seventeen miles | It being agreed between Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane and myself that operations should be carried towards Mobile, it was decided that a force should be sent against Fort Bowyer, situated on the eastern point of the entrance of the bay and from every information that could be obtained, it was considered a brigade would be sufficient for this object, with a respectable force of artillery.' Lambert proceeds to give a description of how, following 'an incessant fire for two days', Fort Bowyer was 'given up to a British guard, and British colours hoisted; the terms being signed by Major Smith, military Secretary and Captain Ricketts, R.N. and finally approved of by the Vice Admiral and myself'. He gives full credit to those involved.

In den Warenkorb2pp., cr.8vo (30 x 18.5cm). In fair condition, aged and worn, with slight damage to one corner, resulting in loss of one word of text. 62 lines of text, with deletions and emendations, and the thirteen lines of the conclusion largely rewritten. Headed: 'To the Right Honorable | the Earl of [sic] Bathurst | His Majestys Principal… Secretary of State for the Colonial & War Department, | &c &c &c | the Memorial of Major General Charles Viscount Grant de Vaux | Shewest [sic]'. The first paragraph reads: 'That your memorialist, although a french Emigrant, is descended from two ancient and noble British families, both by his father and mother, and holds at present the rank of major general in the British Service - having resided in England since the year 1790, during which period, after his services in the Emigrants Army became unnecessary, he devoted his attentions to objects of Science, and has published several works on Astronomy, Navigation, History &c tending to discoveries, particularly on Nautical Science, and on the history of Mauritius; which having met the approbation of men of talents, and the patronage of Government, your memorialist humbly hopes that his labours will ultimately prove beneficial to this country, and to his unfortunate and numerous family.' The second paragraph concerns 'a large tract of Land in Canada', granted to him in 1794, 'with a view to remove to that country a considerable number of french Emigrants who were to be conducted by him'. The third paragraph concerns 'the island of Mauritius, (where your memorialist was born)', where his father 'the late Baron Grant &c, commanded the troops', which has been 'conquered by his majesty's arms, and is a valuable colony of Great Britain' The fourth paragraph concerns his family, he having married 'a native of this country, by whom he has eight children not provided for, all born in England'. In the fifth paragraph he stresses his 'loyalty and integrity'. In conclusion he prays that 'your Lordship be pleased to issue an order that his Grant of land may be conferred to him in the isle of France ['the Isle of France' was another name for Mauritius], his native country, in lieu of the grant in Canada, which was extensive according to his rank and numerous family'. Biographical/Historical NoteCharles Grant, vicomte de Vaux, was the descendant of a family of nobles who had emigrated from Scotland to France in the 14th century. Vaux was born in 1749 on the island of Mauritius, where his father, Louis-Charles Grant, the Baron de Vaux, served as governor. As a youth, Vaux sailed to France to be educated and settled at Vaux-sur-Seulle in Normandy, and eventually became an army officer. During the American Revolution, he sided with the colonists and earned money selling supplies to the colonies and investing in ships to engage in privateering. The majority of the ships were lost, and after the war Vaux petitioned the United States Congress for compensation. Though Vaux considered emigrating to North America, he remained in France until forced by the revolution in France to flee to Great Britain in 1790. During his time as a refugee, Vaux became interested in the prospect of starting a settlement in Canada, and much of his energy during the next decade was focused on gaining permissions and raising money for the expedition. In the mid-1790s Vaux attempted to support himself as an army officer after being granted the position of colonel and permission to recruit a regiment, which he formed with other French émigrés; it was stationed temporarily in Holland. This pursuit failed, however, and the regiment was dispersed after France invaded Holland during the French Revolutionary wars. Vaux then turned to writing to support himself, publishing numerous books which included History of Mauritius and Introduction to Four New Maps of the Four Quarters, all the while still attempting to plan a Canadian settlement. Despite his constant petitioning, planning, and pleas for aid, Vaux.
