Chinese tomb sculpture, rich and diverse, is inextricably linked to the culture and thought of this legendary society and offers keen insight into its history and art. The Chinese in the first millennium B.C. buried servants and animals alive to accompany and serve their masters in the afterworld. Imaginative and detailed ceramic objects gradually replaced human sacrifices, and these were produced in astonishing variety: houses, farm buildings, animals, and bizarre guardian creatures; handsome horses and amazing life-sized terra-cotta warriors; elegant ladies and vibrant dancers and musicians. These awe-inspiring works of art modelled in clay have been buried in the earth for hundreds of years. Published in cooperation with the People's Republic of China, The Quest for Eternity reveals their lasting artistic value and profound historical significance.…

See Hudsons's entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, foolscap 8vo, on three leaves, with fourth covering leaf ('23rd Oct. 1846. / Copy / Railway Minutes / Thorp & Dickson / &c &c'). Attached at one corner with red ribbon. Headed: 'Alnwick October 23 - 1846 / Minutes on projected Railways / in the Manor of Tynemouth - / Read to Mr. Hudson, of which he requested a copy.' There are five minutes, the last covering two pages. The first three read: '1. The Newcastle and Berwick line passes by Killingworth and Cramlington from which to the village it is stipulated that a Branch shall be made to Blyth - / 2. The act for the formation of a dock at Coble Dean [sic] was passed last session, but no works have been yet commenced - / 3. The Duke of Northumberland gave a hearty concurrence to these projects, Mr Hudson being at the head of both and with that distinct understanding satisfactory arrangements were made protective of his Graces Interests. - / 4. His Grace has now learnt with surprise that one or more projects are contemplated for communicating with the Coble Dean independently of Mr Hudson's lines and avoiding His Grace's property by passing over the copyhold lands in the Manor this would prove injurious to the main lines; to the Duke and his wayleave tenants; and be certain to create opposition and litigation. -' The two-page fifth minute (61 lines of text) calls on 'Mr Hudson to signifiy to the parties promoting this partial and imperfect project, that neither as Chairman of the Newcastle and Berwick Railways, the Newcastle and South Shields Railway nor the Coble Dean Companies, could he be any party to the proposed line or lines of Railway'.…

Four pages, 4to, inc. address (p.4), bifolium. IMAGE on application. Addressed on reverse of second leaf, with two postmarks and a manuscript note by forwarding agents the Frères Smitmer of Vienna, to 'Robert Thorp Esqr | Alnwick | Northumberland | For George Thorp's Letters to his family, see Note B. below. Text: He starts by congratulating his brother on his wedding, admitting that sailors are "bad hands at Complements" but expresses pleasure at contact from his sister. He then goes into his activities in Smyrna: We have been paying our respects to the Captain Pacha, the great man in this Empire & brother of the Grand Seignior [sic] his power is unlimited all [?] jurisdiction ceasing on his arrival. [H]e came on board us twice & we got under weigh he expressed himself much pleased with the Ship & look a great deal of [?] alterations made in his own Ship (from ours he smoaked out of a Golden pipe set in diamonds. [H]is ring was a diamond about the size of [O -large ring/nought drawn] not less from its brightness some of the officers concluded it worth 7 or 8 thousand Pounds, the first dress[?] I saw him in was blue velvet set full of various stones his turban a Camels hair [Shall?] the last magnificent part about him[.] His next dress a rich blue velvet covered with diamonds of great value o0o & pearls about the same size again in a yellow satin full of various sized diamonds, I never saw such a Collection of riches in my life[.] I suppose he carried on his [back?] Pistols ring & sabre from 50 to 100 Thousand pounds each time - which I do not expect you to believe till you have seen the Nillions of oppressed wretches who furnish them - if you should in this Country get worth 10000 your head is gone & the Grand Signior or his Officers your heir.' The Pacha has given 'other Ships from 1500 Piastres he presented the Officers with Turkish stuffs my present is a piece of Blue Silk worked with Gold & all the Officers nearly the same. he presented Capt Hood [later Vice-Admiral Sir Samuel Hood (1762-1814)] with a Gold Box set with diamonds a quantity of muslins & various rich things we are not judges of diamonds but all agree the Captain to be worth near a thousand pounds'. The Pacha '[see Note C.] wished to make a Second present to all the Offiers & Crew but the Capt. very properly would not allow it - He is gone with his Fleet to collect the tribute of the Empire.' Notes: A. HMS Aigle "When Captain Hood transferred from the Juno to the bigger frigate HMS Aigle (38 guns) in March 1794 he took with him a contingent of officers and men that included Midshipman Thorp. Corsica: Between April and August 1795, Aigle took part in the blockade of Corsica and the capture of Calvi. Smyrna: Aigle spent six months from May to October 1795 blockading French warships in the Turkish port of Smyrna (now Izmir) a very unpopular operation because of its lack of opportunity for prizes and its unhealthy climate, with frequent outbreaks of the plague; B. "Letters to his family Thorp wrote numerous letters to his parents and siblings throughout his career, except for his time on Thisbe in Nova Scotia during his first year of service and his subsequent time on Magnificent. These were deposited in the National Maritime Museum in 1968 in the form of two letterbooks. Regrettably, no record of persons inspecting these letterbooks seems to have been kept by the National Maritime Museum but anyone studying them in detail who is familiar with the AubreyMaturin series of novels of Patrick O'Brian may find a remarkable coincidence between some of the descriptions in Thorp's letters and events or characters in O'Brian's novels, inviting speculation whether O'Brian may have read the letters and been inspired by their content. Thorp's letters describing the escape from Toulon, the attack on the Mortella Tower and the siege of Saint-Florent, the blockade of Corsica, the capture of Calvi and the cutting out of the Principe Fernando are particularly noteworthy.
