Either William, 4th Earl of Dartmouth (1784-1853) or his father (d.1810) depending on which book involved. Banks is author of Extinct Peerage. One page, 8vo, grubby, remnants of material from laying down, some damage partially obscuring one letter of the address, text clear and complete. "Ld Dartmouth begs the favor[sic] of Mr Banks to send the 2d Vol of the Dormant & Extinct Baronage by the Bearer & likewise some person authorized to receive the value of the work between 10 & 11 o'clock tomorrow morning or any morning after Monday".

2pp, 8vo. On first leaf of bifolium. Text complete and clearly legible, on aged and worn paper. The first page is begins with text in the hand of Cammillo Cateni, headed 'Adì 2 Gennaio 1800', written on behalf of Cateni and Giovanni Gualterro Uccelli, 'Medici filii di questa Citta di Firenze', attesting the signature of 'la Siga. Angiola Lucchi'. (Jeremy Black, in his 'Italy and the Grand Tour' (2003), states that Horace Walpole's friend Francis Whithed (1719-51) had a mistress by this name, 'by whom he had a daughter, Sophia, to whom he eventually left £6,000'.) This section is signed by 'Dott. Cammillo Cateni' and 'Dott. Gio: Gualterro Uccelli'. Beneath this, taking up most of the first page is the first part of the text in the hand of the Florentine notary public Lorenzo Fabbrucci, headed 'Al Nome di Dio - Amen', attesting to Cateni, Uccelli and Lucchi. Fabbrucci's stamp in black ink is in the margin beside the continuation on the second page, after which is Fabbrucci's signature. After this comes Wyndham's text, with his seal in red wax in the left-hand margin: 'This is to certify to all whom it may concern that Sigr. Lorenzo Fabbrucci is a Notary Public in this city of Florence & that full faith may be given to his signature - | Given under our hand & seal this thirteenth day of January one thousand eight hundred | W Wyndham | His Majestys Envoy Extra | at the Court of Tuscany'.

Crook, 8 other subjects of which 4 after art or engravings), ranging from approximately 104 x 76 mm (4? x 3 inches) to 184 x 134 mm (7¼ x 5¼ inches), mounted portraits loosely inserted into cut corners of the album pages, other prints mounted directly on the album page; very occasional spots, generally clean interior; bound in half roan with brown cloth-covered sides, renewed marbled endpapers; a very little rubbing and loss to extremities, overall good condition. [with:]Folio, pp. [6], 100 (majority blank), containing approximately 135 newspaper cuttings, both loosely inserted and mounted, dated in manuscript in margins, articles occasionally annotated; 3 leaves removed, a little foxing; bound in quarter sheep with red cloth sides, 'Newspaper Cuttings' gilt to upper board; tear with some loss at foot of spine.A charming collection of photographs and newspaper cuttings spanning some fifty years, compiled by a father and son during their Cambridge days, including a letter of thanks from Trinity Hall to the son, Charles Anthony Benn, for his endowment to the college, which now funds the Benn Bursary. The selection of fine portraits was apparently compiled by Anthony Benn (BA 1859, MA 1865), a student of Emmanuel College, likely as a memento at the end of his degree. The majority are signed by sitters, sometimes including a short greeting. Anthony himself appears in several photographs. The newspaper cuttings were probably complied by his son, Charles Anthony Benn (BA 1890, MA 1906) whilst a student of Trinity Hall. An exam results transcript in the album reveals he was a student of Geology, achieving a second-class examination result and going on to enter Inner Temple in 1892. A large proportion of the articles record Benn's sporting achievements in middle- and long-distance running. Beyond the athletics field, his achievements included winning second prize for nectarines in the Chippenham Flower Show, and the headline 'Smash on the Midland. An Express in Collison at Kentish Town' is marked with the date 1902 and 'I was in it! C.A.B.'. In his will, Charles Benn bequeathed property and land to Trinity Hall, the funds from the sale of which run the present-day Benn Bursary. The album includes two letters relating to these endowments, one thanking his wife for the cup that Benn bequeathed to the college and another, from the Master of Trinity Hall, remarking on the generosity of his gift in his will and pondering whether a coat of arms should be arranged in the North Court in his honour. Both Mayland and W. Nichols were photographers known to be working in Cambridge in the late 1850s and 1860s. William Mayland (18211907) is registered as living in Market Street, Cambridge in 1858 and 20 St Andrews Street from 1864, before moving to London in 1869 to form the studio Williams & Mayland with Thomas Richard Williams. William Nichols had a studio at 29 Corn Exchange Street from October 1854 to March 1855 before moving to an address in St Mary's Passage, becoming Nicholls and Sons in 1864.On the Benns, see Venn, Alumni Cantabrigienses: A Biographical List of All Known Students Volume 2, From 17521900 (2011), p. 228.

Both items in good condition, lightly aged, attached together at one corner with thread. The two written by different secretaries. Both addressed to 'Dear Sir Thomas'. The second letter addressed to Strange at Madras. ONE: Kensington Palace; 3 February 1812. 4to, 4pp. Although many years have passed since their last meeting, he trusts that Strange 'will not forget that friend of our lives, when we became known to each other at Halifax, and when I flatter myself I had the good fortune of being numbered amongst your friends'. The letter is to introduce to Strange's notice 'a most worthy and reputable Gentleman of the name of Jebb, Doctor of Laws of the University of Oxford, who has recently obtained the [?] of the Court of Directors to proceed to Madras for the purpose of the practicing as an Advocate'. The letter proceeds to praise Jebb's 'manner talents and acquirements'. TWO: Kensington Palace; 31 January 1815. Bifolium, addressed on reverse of second leaf with a good impression of the Duke's seal in red wax. 2pp, 4to. A letter of introduction and recommendation for his 'friend Colonel Pritzler of the 22nd. light dragoons' [Sir Theophilus Pritzler (c.1777-1839), for whom see the Oxford DNB], 'a most amiable Gentlemanlike character'. The Duke also takes the opportunity to thank Strange for 'the friendship you have shewn to that worthy character Doctor Jebb', adding that he is 'delighted to think, that, while his prospects are so good, thanks to your Kindness, his conduct has been such as to secure him your friendship'. He is also pleased that Jebb's sister-in-law has 'formed so good a matrimonial connexion'. The letter concludes with a discussion of 'my old friend Lieut. General Wetherall [General Sir Frederick Augustus Wetherall (1754-1842), see Oxford DNB] who is now at the Head of my Household' and 'Miss Johnsons marriage'. Wetherall is 'a most worthy man, a most excellent Soldier, and the best of Fathers', but the Duke fears 'he has a few Hibernian habits still about him, that would not induce me to recommend him, particularly as a Husband to the choice of any Lady, in whose I was interested'. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

3pp, 4to. Bifolium. Signature ('Edward') in the prince's hand, the rest of the letter by a secretary. In good condition, lightly aged, with slight damage to one corner of first leaf, and thin strip of paper from mount adhering to reverse of second leaf, which is franked 'Kent & Strathearn', with postmark, and addressed to 'Francis Freeling Esquire | &c &c &c | Genl. Post Office | Lombard Street | London'. Folded four times. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir | It being of some consequence that the enclosed should reach Germany in safety, as it contains the notification of a young M an's appointment to a Commission in the British Service, whose unfortunate parents are very little able to maintain him, I shall esteem it a very particular favor if through your good offices, and the medium of our Agent at Toninghen this can be accomplished'. He knows Freeling will do his 'best endeavours to effect the thing if it is possible', and adds, 'that the letter is written as ever if opened not to be of any consequence, and therefore if sent by a private hand not liable to expose the Bearer to anything unpleasant in consequence'. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

A strict disciplinarian, the Duke was appointed Governor of Gibraltar in March 1802 and, as this letter describes, immediately set about dealing with what he considered the various abuses of the Garrison. His harsh discipline would precipitate a mutiny by soldiers in his own and the 25th Regiment on Christmas Eve 1802. The Duke of York, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, would recall him in May 1803 after receiving reports of the mutiny, but despite this direct order he would refuse to return to England until his successor arrived. He would be refused permission to return to Gibraltar for an inquiry and, although continuing to hold the governorship of Gibraltar until his death, would never go back. The present item is 8pp., folio. On two bifoliums. On aged and worn paper, with a number of repairs with archival tape, and the signature 'Edward' showing particular damage. A long and interesting letter, addressed to 'Lieut Colonel Lethbridge', and docketted 'No 8 - | Duke of Ks Letter from Gibraltar | 31 Octr. 1802'. He begins by apologising for a late reply, due to the 'uncessant occupation which I have had for the last six months, and the state of my health which suffered very considerably during the oppressive heat of the first five of them'. Before discussing affairs at Gibraltar, he deals with other matters, with references to 'the stigma that had attached to Colonel Ainslie and Major Forsyth' and arrangements made for the widow and family following 'the death of poor Lennox'. Lethbridge is stationed in Jamaica (where the Duke had also previously been stationed), and the Duke has heard that he has not had 'the most pleasant task' in putting his battalion 'to rights', and that his health has been undermined in the process. He advises him to apply to the Duke of York for a transfer to North America (where the Duke had previously been stationed), suggesting an exchange of battalions with 'Harris', who is 'a perfect Cypher'. He reports news regarding 'Colonel Gordon' in London, before turning to 'the restoration of tranquility at St. Domingo (for that we understand to be the Case), as it most materially tends to keep your people of Colour also in Jamaica in proper Subjection'. After discussing his need for 'superior Performers' among 'Musicians', he undertakes to 'write to the Prince of Wales in favor of your Brother Mr Christopher Lethbridge'. He now turns to Gibraltar, and the 'many Changes' which 'have of late taken place in this Garrison'. As Lethbridge is one of his 'oldest military friends', he is anxious, 'such of them as are to my disadvantage should not give you an unfavorable impression of me, I shall just mention, that on my first arrival, I found the troops in such a scandalous and disgraceful State of indiscipline, and every Department so full of abuses that it required every Exertion on my part to remedy the evil'. He explains that he met with 'a wonderful deal of opposition from those, who, from habits of indolence and debauchery, were roused to those of activity and regularity, and to what extent this was I shall leave you to judge, when I tell you that four fifths of the Captains & Subalterns were from the Irish Militia not a little tinctured by the doctrines of the times'. With great effort he has got them 'to look and act as Soldiers should do', but it has 'created a good deal of ill blood amongst the ill disposed, & whenever they can, with impunity, make my conduct the subject of Satyre, they will not miss the Occasion'. As his 'sole object' is to do his duty conscientiously, he treats their 'malicious attempts' with contempt. He concludes by expressing his own good wishes, and those of his mistress 'Madame de St. Laurent'.
