1p, 4to. In fair condition, aged and worn; laid down on part of a leaf removed from an album. Bathurst's name written in two nineteenth-century hands at the head. The letter was evidently written on receipt of an engraving of Captain George Nicholas Hardinge (1776-1813) of HMS St Fiorenzo, adopted son of George and Lucy Hardinge, who was killed in a naval action off the coast of Ceylon. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir, | To a mind like yours, it must be a very genuine, though a melancholy pleasure, to reflect that among the number of young men, whom the destructive war has hurried to an untimely Grave, there is not one, to whom the following beautiful Lines of Collins are more applicable, than to Captain Hardinge. - | How sleep the Brave, who sink to rest | By all their Countrys wishes blest. - &c'. Bathurst will 'feel a particular pride and satisfaction, in placing the Engraving to the memory of your excellent relative, next to the Portrait of our Norfolk Heroe, the immortal Nelson. - may the sight of two such characters inspire my children, with an ardent wish, to emulate, as they can, transcendant [sic] merit!' Bathurst's youngest son 'is lately gone to Sea'. A postscript reads: 'If I should have neglected to pay my Subscription for the Engraving, will you be so good as to desire some one to call upon Mr: Payne the Bookseller [i.e. Thomas Payne the younger (1752-1831), for whom see the Oxford DNB]'.

A 'revised edition', though LibraryHub does not record an earlier one - it is institutionally scarce in any form. The author asserts that the present method is 'twice as rapid as the Morse system'; his chart illustrates 'the alphabet, numerals, and special signs' in semaphore - as produced via mechanical means at the head and then the corresponding manual positions in the main section of the chart. Henry Reginald von Donop Hardinge (1878-1956), an officer of the 4th Infantry, Hyderabad Contingent, India was from a distinguished military family; the inside cover advertises other of his guides to signalling.
