Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Handwritten letter book consisting of retained copies of letters written by Captain Wilson during four decades of his life, much of it in Ireland and Canada between 1809 and 1845. Measuring 10" x 8". 74pp. Approximately 29,000 handwritten words. Paper covers with string binding. Covers and internal book pages have small chips and age-toning, spine is detached from the cover thus very good. A letter book detailing the life of a Captain Wilson between 1809 and 1845. The book of handwritten copies beginning with his time in command at Carlisle Fort in Ireland. Wilson is often preoccupied with clerical and menial tasks, settling disputes and sending reports, until he is transferred to Bandon in May of 1810. Wilson moves frequently, spending less than six months to a year in each new post. Bantry, Bath, Hereford, Weymouth, Spain, Winchester, Paris, St. Vast, London, and other places before settling in Plymouth in 1820, before moving once again. Wilson writes about the negligence in the camps where he is stationed, often citing disrepair, grime, and alcoholism in the barracks. He also writes about his shares in the Gas Light Company and the Coke Company. Wilson's constant movement is due in part to his need for money. He frequently writes about his financial problems and with each move is hopeful to advance in the ranks and receive commensurate pay. He finally writes in 1818 about his desire to retire from the service and accepts half pay to avoid going back to Ireland with his regiment. Wilson's retirement was prompted by his weariness from his long service as well as the discouraging conditions that he witnessed. He writes about the soldiers turning to alcoholism, family members dying, his inability to help a young woman and her daughter repatriate to Ireland, and the rape of a five-year-old boy. He also devotes a full letter to his dismay when his copy of Lord Byron's poems is found missing from his room. Letters from 1828 and after largely discuss the transfer of his shares in Gas Light Company and the Coke Company into a wine business, with a brief word of worry about the cholera outbreak in France; his son is deaf and dumb and the asylum may close (ominously the son is not mentioned again). Later in 1841 he and his family move to Canada, and aside from some difficulty in receiving money for his commission, he quickly adapts to his new life with the last few letters focused on barrels of flour, orders of pork, and a recently purchased pianoforte. An intriguing and voluminous collection of letters detailing a military officer's daily life, service, and travels, and his struggles to maintain his family. We suspect that further inquiry could very likely uncover more information about Captain Wilson.

First edition. McDonald, Sgt. James. First edition. Four mounted photographs on the titles of the text and photograph vols., 20 lithographed or tinted lithographs plates, 10 folding maps mounted on linen as issued, 153 mounted albumen photographs on 142 sheets (including 4 folding triptychs and 3 diptychs). Folio. "In 1868, a larger and more complex survey, again supported by private subscription, was organized to map the Sinai Peninsula. Although the size and complexity of the proposed survey were considered beyond the financial capabilities of the fledgling Palestine Exploration Fund, the survey, for which Wilson shared command with Captain H. S. Palmer was conceived in the spirit of scientific inquiry inspired by the success of the Jerusalem Survey and advocated by the Fund 'to apply the rules of science, which are so well understood by us in other branches, to an investigation into the facts concerning the Holy Land'" (Schwartz and Ryan, Picturing Place, p. 234). Gernsheim in The History of Photography mentions McDonald in passing, though with high praise, comparing him favorably with both Francis Frith and Maxime Du Camp: "The temples, tombs and pyramids of Egypt attracted numerous photographers and resulted in a mass of French and English publications, none equalling Frith's high standards, with the possible exception of the 150 [i.e. 153] whole-plate photographs taken by Sergeant J. McDonald which illustrate the three volumes of The Ordnance Survey of the Peninsula of Sinai (1869)" (p. 287). McDonald (1822-1885) served as the survey's principal photographer and his images comprise well-composed landscapes, as well as ethnographic and archaeological studies. Prior to this expedition, McDonald's published work included the Ordnance Survey of Jersusalem (1865), as well as images in Views of Netley Abbey (1864). He had been introduced to photography in the mid-1850s while serving in the Royal Engineers, supervising the process and training of engineers in reducing and reproducing survey maps photographically. Upon his return to England in 1869, McDonald received a royal invitation by Queen Victoria for his photographic excellence on the Sinai expedition. Complete sets of the work, with all volumes of photographs as well as the text and atlas of maps, are very rare on the market. The last complete set we could locate appeared at Sotheby's on June 28, 1972 (lot 597).
