The old town was founded in the 7th century around the monastery of Hartlepool Abbey. The village grew into a town in the Middle Ages and its harbour became an important port. The new town of West Hartlepool was created in 1835 after a new port was built and railway links from the South Durham coal fields and Stockton-on-Tees were created. The two towns merged and became known as the Hartlepools before dropping the "s". Former owner Sir Thomas Edward Watson Bart. was connected to the port of Newport for over 40 years and was High Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1911. Reprint of the original work published in 1816 with a supplemental history to 1851 inclusive.

A note by the author at the front states 'These extracts were made in France during my detention Ð they are frequently from rare and curious sources.' They consist of his own reflections on various subjects, including religion, language literature history quotations from various authors French and British and German, including Rousseau, Lessing, Necker and Monk Lewis also Saphhooand Catullus. Written in an easy to read hand no mention of his actual detainment but he seems to have been in prison from 1803 to 1804 Written in an easy to read hand no mention of his actual detainment but he seems to have been in prison from 1803 to 1804. Something of a commonplace book in English and French possibly more French than English fascinating object from a difficult time in the authors life in prison in France (but luckily released).Sir Cuthbert Sharp(1781Ð1849), antiquary, son of Cuthbert Sharp, shipowner, and of Susannah, sister of Brass Crosby [q. v.], lord mayor of London, was born at Sunderland in 1781, and received his education at Greenwich under Dr. Burney. There he formed a lasting friendship with Lord Lake and with Sir Edward Blakeney [q. v.] When he was eighteen years of age he served in Ireland during the rebellion as an officer in the fencible cavalry. When his regiment was disbanded, Sharp proceeded to Edinburgh, and in 1803 visited Paris, where he was surprised by the resumption of hostilities (at the conclusion of the peace of Amiens), and detained, with other English visitors, as a prisoner of war. But by the influence of Regnier, the minister of justice, whose friendship he had acquired, he was released on parole, and after a few years was allowed to pass into England. Sharp settled at Hartlepool and devoted himself to the study of local antiquities. In 1816 he acted as mayor, and was knighted on the occasion of a visit of the prince regent. In the same year appeared his first book, ÔThe History of HartlepoolÕ (2nd ed. 1851), by which his reputation as an antiquary was established. Sharp came to know Surtees, the historian of Durham, and rendered him valuable assistance in compiling local genealogies. His contributions to Surtees's ÔHistory of DurhamÕ were distinguished by the initials C. S. surmounted by a rose. In 1823 Sharp was appointed collector of customs at Sunderland, but continued his study of local antiquities. In 1840 appeared his ÔMemorials of the Rebellion of 1569,Õ based on the Bowes MSS. In 1845 he was promoted to the post of collector of customs at Newcastle-on-Tyne, where he resided until his death on 17 Aug. 1849. Sound clean very good. Some minor restoration at Lois spine.

See Fauntleroy's entry in the Oxford DNB. Although accounts of his depravity are exaggerated, Fauntleroy led a dissolute life, and appropriated securities worth around £360,000. During his trial at the Old Bailey he called seventeen merchants and bankers to testify to his integrity, but his defence was unsuccessful, and he was hanged outside Newgate, before a crowd of 100,000. The present item is 1p, 4to. Bifolium, addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'Sir Cuthbert Sharp | &c &c', with endorsement. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with slight damage to inner edge of second leaf caused by removal from mount. With several folds. Written in a clear hand with a good bold signature. Reads: 'My Dear Sir Cuthbert | I have heard from you with every attention what you have proposed from the Assignees to me I will give it every consideration & shall hope in a few days to communicate with you upon the subject | I remain | Most faithfully Yrs | H Fauntleroy'. Sharp was presumably an assignee of an estate which had suffered as a result of Fauntleroy's forgeries.
