Rawlinson (1864-1925) had just taken command of the IV Corps in France, seeing them suffer heavy losses at Ypres during 18-27 October. On 28 October he was recalled briefly to oversee preparation of the 8th Division, leaving Douglas Haig in charge. He returned in November, by which time the attacks on Ypres had died down. This lecture was thus part of his effort to ready the 8th Division for action. RAK Montgomery (1848-1931) compiled these notes whilst serving with Rawlinson during October 1914. Drawing on the instructions of Duke Albrecht of Wurtemberg which had been found on the body of a German or a prisoner, experiences in South Africa and more recently against Germany, this presents lessons in trench warfare, reconnaissance, dealing with artillery, German spies, snipers, etc. It includes Rawlinson's introduction, discussion, and closing remarks.…

Binding tight and solid. The first U. S. Government exploration of the American southwest. In 1805, Wilkinson ordered Pike to find the source of the Mississippi River, so Pike traveled into the northern Louisiana Territory, newly purchased from France. In 1806 Pike led an expedition to the southwestern borders of the land acquired by the United States through the Louisiana Purchase. One of the most important inland travel narratives, giving an account of the South-west, including the author's description of his earlier journey to explore the headwaters of the Mississippi. The two maps are among the first of the area executed by a government expedition. After Pike returned from this first expedition, General Wilkinson almost immediately ordered him to mount a second expedition, this time to explore, map, and find the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red rivers. Additional objectives of this exploratory expedition into the southwestern part of the Louisiana Territory were to evaluate natural resources and establish friendly relations with Native Americans. Beginning July 15, 1806, Pike led what became known as the "Pike Expedition". General Wilkinson's son James served as one of his lieutenants, although it now seems that Wilkinson planned that the Spanish who controlled Mexico would capture him and his men. Over 100 years later, France released official records showing General Wilkinson received personal trade concessions and thus could be labeled a spy for Spain at the time.

A large collection composed of manuscript and typed letters, many in original envelopes, photographs, albums, menus and other printed and manuscript ephemera relating to the political careers of Sir Fergus and Lady Joyce Montgomery. Also present are several other objects, including two pieces of ceramic. For a list of the principal contents please see below. Beyond a few minor expected issues such as roughly opened envelopes and the odd crease or tear, the condition of the archive is largely very good, with most of the letters and other paper items clean and bright. There is a little fading to some of the letters/photographs that have been framed and glazed, but otherwise the collection is in excellent order. An extensive archive providing a fascinating insight into Margaret Thatcher's hugely influential political career, as well as the fortunes of the Conservative Party more broadly, as shown through the letters of a loyal friend and colleague who was close to the 'Iron Lady' from her entrance into Parliament until her final years. Sir Fergus Montgomery (1927-2013) and his wife, Lady Joyce, were staunch allies of Margaret Thatcher, offering wholehearted political and personal support to her efforts to transform both the Conservative Party and the country. Fergus served as a Conservative member of Parliament for three separate periods over more than 30 years (1959-1964, Newcastle upon Tyne East; 1967-February 1974, Brierley Hill; and October 1974-1997, Altrincham and Sale), whilst Joyce worked as a local Conservative councillor, and later served as Deputy Lieutenant and High Sheriff of Greater Manchester. Born in South Shields, County Durham, Fergus, the son of a shopkeeper and a nurse, did not share the public school background of many in the party; one of the many things that he and Thatcher, the grocer's daughter from Grantham, had in common. He quickly found success, however, becoming national chairman of the Young Conservatives in 1957, and two years later entering the Commons as part of the same cohort as Thatcher. Fergus went on to serve as Thatcher's Parliamentary Private Secretary, first during her tenure as Secretary of State for Education (1973-74), and then as Leader of the Opposition (1975-76). Always a supporter, he was also notably one of those who had originally pressed her to stand against Edward Heath for the leadership. Many of the letters in the present archive, all signed as 'Margaret', demonstrate the great fondness the pair had for each other, as well as the seriousness of their political aims, mixing personal thanks for gifts, parties and dinners, with candid discussion of political machinations. Three of the most notable letters convey her thoughts and feelings following her resignation in 1990; commenting on the "cruelties" of politics, she alludes to a painful sense of betrayal, now "etched on one's heart". The letters to the Montgomerys from her successor, John Major, several of which offer frank commentary regarding the state of the party following Major's defeat, demonstrate a similarly personal tone, ending with affectionate sign-offs: "love, as ever, John". Also including items such as a signed photograph of Thatcher's great ally, Ronald Reagan, whose inauguration Montgomery attended, a note from a newly-elected George Bush snr., and letters from fellow Conservatives discussing the party's future post-Thatcher, it provides a significant documentation of the neo-liberal revolution that Thatcher spearheaded, and of her role in shaping this most transformative period in modern political history. Principal contents: Margaret Thatcher signed letters: - Two signed single-sided manuscript letters (one in original envelope), dated 26th February and March 1974, to Joyce Montgomery, concerning her election to Greater Manchester council. - Signed single-sided manuscript letter on Downing Street notepaper, dated 17th January 1982, thanking the Montgomerys for "your enduring [underscored] friendship".
