The nine items are in good condition, lightly aged and worn. They derive from the papers of Sir Richard Harington of Ridlington, and reflect his dual position as a leading member of the Standing Council of the Baronetage, and a member of the Home Office Committee, which was set up to consider and report whether any, and if so wh…at, steps should be taken to safeguard the status of the holders of Baronetcies, and to prevent the assumption of the title Baronet by persons who have no right thereto'.

Bettany, Secretary. | 12th December, 1906.' 7pp., 8vo.

Begins: 'Sirs, | 1. - It is now more than nine years since the ancient hereditary Baronetage, on learning of a fresh attack about to be made on its covenanted Privileges, held a meeting in London, and formed a defensive Honourable Society, whoswe powers and duties, after it had petitioned the Crown, were transferred to ourselves.' States that 'this Committee of Inquiry had two important subjects entrusted to it for consideration and report, viz., the status of Baronets, and the question of wrongful assumptions; besides that of dealing with George III's Warrants.'

Harington makes a long contribution (more than a page of small print), followed by four shorter ones. 'having regard to the position he had the honour of occupying on the Committee of Inquiry, and added: - With regard to those proceedings, it will, of course, be understood that what passed in the Committee Room is confidential, and I am not at liberty to say here more than that I have the authority of our Chairman, Lord Pembroke, to refer to, or what appears upon the Report, and what may be necessarily inferred therefrom'. SIX: 'Minute of Appointment' of the six individuals 'to consider and report whether any, and if so what, steps should be taken to safeguard the status of the holders of Baronetcies, and to prevent the assumption of the title Baronet by persons who have no right thereto'.

The collection of ten items (six ALsS, two TLsS, one secretarial letter signed, and one letter from Dryhurst) is in good overall condition, with light signs of age and wear. Digby's two typed letters, both 1897, are both formal letters on behalf of the Home Secretary, regarding the Radnorshire Police Enquiry, the first being the… 'official thanks' (see below). The content would appear to largely concern the Radnorshire Police Enquiry. There are a couple of references to 'Mackenzie' (Muir Mackenzie, Permanent Secretary to the Lord Chancellor, three of whose letters to Harington are offered elsewhere), 'the A. G.' (Attorney General) and 'Ld C.' (Lord Chancellor). The earliest of the ALsS is also the longest (3 August 1895; 7pp., 12mo). In it Digby lists three written items he is sending, with an offer to send more., before continuing: 'The Proceedings of the recent Conference at Paris are not likely to be published for some time, but Mr. Ruggles-Brise, Chairman of the Prisons Board, who was the English Delegate to the Conference, tells me that he hopes to complete his Report to the Secretary of State in the Course of next month; and when it is ready, I will send you a copy for your confidential use. This will probably tell you all you will want to know of the scope of the discussion and the nature of the decisions arrived at. | I shall also be glad to send you an order to visit a Convict Prison, if you will let me know to which Portland or Dartmoor it wd. Be most convenient to you to go.' On 12 April 1897 he thanks him for a letter 'which is important [] I cannot imagine who can have got the impression that there was the smallest amount of dissatisfaction about your conduct of the Radnorshire case. Certainly nothing that any one in the Office has said or thought can have given rise to it. The absolute contrary is the truth. The official thanks which were sent you is the sincere expression of what we all feel as to your mode of dealing with a very difficult & disagreeable matter.' A letter of 8 July 1897 begins: 'Many thanks for your letter to which though I cannot criticize in detail you will have gathered from what I said the other night I do not wholly dissent.' The letter from Frederick John Dryhurst (d.1931), written in 1895, concerns one Harington 'in reference to the Home Office Circular as to the Medical Examination of prisioners'. From the Harington papers.

Very good. Slight edge wear. Folds into original case. Size 42 x 42 Inches. Considered the first trigonometric survey of Lesotho, this 1911 map was published by the British War Office after the work of Captain M.C. Dobson. The map is the product of a singular effort carried out single-handedly by Dobston between 1904 and 1909. I…t features extensive manuscript additions and annotations by the important British military historian Geoffrey Tylden, who owned the map and likely used it in his research. The fact that Tylden was using this map nearly 50 years after its production underscores both its accuracy and longevity. A Closer Look This large-format map covers all of what is today Lesotho, offering mind-boggling granular detail throughout. Lesotho's complex mountain topography is meticulously rendered, including all river and stream courses. Dotted lines note footpaths through the mountains. Ruins, stores, schools, temples, villages, grazing grounds, telegraphs, and more are included. There are copious manuscript annotations date to about 1951-56. The annotations focus on several treks through the region and include updates associated with isolated mountain peaks and passes, often with elevations. Some of the updates are significant, reflecting unique cartographic updates that likely appear on no contemporaneous printed map. These updates are almost certainly the work of the British historian Geoffrey Tylden who has signed both the map and the slipcase. Geoffrey Tylden (1883 - 1970) was a British-born military historian known for his extensive work on South African military history. Born into a distinguished military family in England, he later settled in South Africa, where he became a leading authority on the region's military affairs. Tylden was specifically interested in the roles of indigenous African forces within colonial military structures. His research provided valuable insights into the complexities of South African military engagements and the diverse groups involved. Basutoland to Lesotho Basutoland was a British protectorate in southern Africa from 1868 to 1966, contiguous with present-day Lesotho. Initially inhabited by the Basotho people, the territory was unified under King Moshoeshoe I (1786 - 1870) in the early 19th century as a defensive response to regional conflicts, including the Zulu expansion and Boer encroachment. After a series of territorial losses to the Boers and fearing further annexation, Moshoeshoe appealed to Queen Victoria for protection. The British declared Basutoland a protectorate in 1868 and placed it under Cape Colony administration, though mismanagement and local resistance led to direct rule from London in 1884. Despite being surrounded by South Africa, Basutoland maintained a distinct political identity and was not incorporated into the Union of South Africa in 1910. It gained independence peacefully in 1966, becoming the Kingdom of Lesotho, a constitutional monarchy with enduring ties to its founding leadership and traditional governance structures.
