In den WarenkorbThe recipient Anna Maria Dashwood (1785-1857) was the daughter of Sir Henry Watkin Dashwood (1745-1828), and was fourteen years old at the time the letter was written. In 1810 she would marry John Loftus (1770-1845), 2nd Marquess of Ely. An Anne Dashwood presumably a relation had been a maid of honour of Princess Elizabeth's mot…her Queen Charlotte. The letter is written in the most affectionate terms, and concerns an offer by William Cathcart (1755-1843), 1st Earl Cathcart, to place Sir Henry Dashwood's eldest son Henry George Mayne Dashwood (1782-1803) in the Life Guards. 5pp, 4to. Bifolium and single leaf attached. Addressed on reverse of last leaf, with part of small seal in red wax, to 'Miss Dashwood'. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from stub adhering to reverse of last leaf. Having received a letter from her ('my dear Anna'), she sends compliments to 'Sir Henry, saying that if my proposal is approved by him it will give me very particular pleasure as serving any of you in any way is truly a conduct to my heart; feeling that warm affection for you dear Mothers memory, which will never in any sense be lessened but with my life'. Coming to the point, she states that what she is 'going to propose is owing to the very handsome & kind conduct of Lord Cathcart, who has privately told me that there would be very soon a Cornetcy in the Life Guards in the Kings gift', and this 'might be a very pleasant thing for Sir Henry to have his Eldest Son have it as he will never go abroad, be near home, & able to continue his study & have a chance of rising'. She would stress to Sir Henry that she has 'heard from all quarters what an advantage it is for Young men to be under Lord Cathcart whose character stands so highly in the world both as an Officer & as a Man'. Cathcart is 'very anxious about his Regiment particularly so, as it always attends his Majesty & the honour of being so constantly about his Majestys person makes Lord C. very desirous to have nothing but Young Men of family and fashion in it'. Cathcart has promised 'that Henry shall be the first upon the list so that He will immediately have two or three under him I think that his being so entirely under Sir Henry Dashwoods eye will be a very pleasant circumstance', and Cathcart has assured her 'that the King will have very particular satisfaction in signing a Commission for your Brother'. She feels that 'this is surely time for all to stand forth in defence of their Country & when the situation keeps him at home I think it must be particularly pleasant to his Father'. She has been 'talking a great deal of You all', and urges her not to 'name this to any body but your Father but You may say to Him that I really am of opinion that it will be a good thing for your Brother'. In a postscript she expresses delight at the recipient's happiness: 'I hope you will be a little with Ld. Hardwicke I always rejoice when you are with that amiable creature I beg you tell him that I have got la Maison Rustique & delight in it'. 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'.

In den WarenkorbGlasgow: Printed by John Graham and Co., 1827. A Compilation of Scottish Justiciary Records with Manuscript Annotations by Lord Alloway Cathcart, David, Lord Alloway [1763-1829]. List of Cases for Trial at the Glasgow Spring Circuit, May, 1827. Right Honourable Lord Gillies and Lord Alloway. A. Wood, Esq. Advocate Depute [Drop-H…ead Title]. [Glasgow]: Printed by John Graham and Co., [1827]. [788] pp. Quarto (10" x 8-1/4"; 25.4 x 21 cm). Contemporary three-quarter morocco over marbled boards, gilt-stamped label reading "The Right Hon. Lord Alloway" to front board, blind decoration, gilt-edged raised bands and title to spine. Light rubbing to boards, a few small scuffs, nicks and scratches, moderate rubbing to extremities, corners bumped. Light toning to interior, occasional light foxing, two slight horizontal fold lines to many leaves, a few folded corners, light soiling in a few places, crack to text block before final leaf. A handsome volume. $1,500. * Compiled over the course of the term, this volume is comprised of a list of 77 cases on the docket for the Glasgow Circuit Court of Justiciary in May 1827 followed by records for 72 of those cases. The records, typically 5-8 pp. in length, consist of a short summary of the indictment along with a list of witnesses and jury members, if applicable. Each record is individually paginated and docketed in print on the verso of the final leaf, suggesting that they were issued individually as the term progressed. The list of cases and many of the records are annotated by Lord Alloway, a Scottish lord of session appointed to the Justiciary Court in 1826. The charges range in severity from murder to petty theft. Almost certainly rebound by Alloway for his future reference, this handsome volume is a fascinating glimpse of the work of a nineteenth-century court in Scotland from a judge's perspective. Compilation volumes like these were created for the personal use of judges and advocates and are quite scarce. OCLC locates 6 copies of compilations from the Glasgow Justiciary Court, 5 at the University of Glasgow and 1 at Harvard, none of which match ours. Glasgow: Printed by John Graham and Co., 1827 (illustrator).
