Williamson, Peter French and Indian Cruelty Exemplified, in the Life, and various vicissitudes of fortune of Peter Williamson, who was carried off from Aberdeen in his Infancy, and sold for a Slave in Pennsylvania. Edinburgh: printed for and sold by the Booksellers, 1792. 12mo, modern quarter calf, lacking frontispiece some browningFootnote: Note: As a boy, whilst living with an aunt in Aberdeen, Peter Williamson was kidnapped and, after a long voyage, sold as an indentured servant in Philadelphia for a sum of £16. Claiming that he was 8 years old when this happened, this work is Williamson's narrative of his experiences: his master left him the means to settle on a farm in Delaware. In 1754, he was taken prisoner by a group of Cherokee Indians but escaped the following year. He subsequently joined the army before being wounded and was shipped back to Plymouth, in England, where he embarked upon the long walk back to Aberdeen. En route, his stories attracted interest. He published his book, and was charged with libel by the Aberdonian authorities after accusing them of playing a part in the kidnapping of children from the city. Instead, Williamson successfully prosecuted the Burgess of Aberdeen and proceeded to establish a coffee house in Edinburgh's High Street. Williamson is also credited with introducing the postal service to Edinburgh - the "Penny Post" - and produced the first directory of gentry, merchants and tradesmen in the city.

An important wine glass commemorating Sir William Howe and the capture of New York, circa 1776The ogee bowl engraved with the crowned cipher 'GR' above 'God Save the King' to one side, the other inscribed 'SUCCESS TO SIR WILLIAM HOWE/ SAVIOUR OF NEW YORK' beneath the rim, the base of the bowl cut with a band of circlets between petal facets, the faceted stem with a central swelling knop, over a conical foot, 14.7cm highFootnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection, London, formed 1960s-80sRecently discovered in a provincial auction in Berkshire, this unrecorded glass is an important commemorative piece. General Sir William Howe (1729-1814) was a distinguished veteran of the French and Indian War who, in 1775, was appointed Commander in Chief of His Majesty's forces in America during the Revolutionary War. Charged with combating rebellion and maintaining peace between Britain and its colonies, Howe's first major battles against his American counterpart, General George Washington, came during the Patriot siege of Boston and included the Battle of Bunker Hill. They proved to be disappointing failures that resulted in the British retreat from Boston in March 1776.That Summer Howe sailed for New York, chosen as the new base of operations owing to its strategic location. In August 1776 Howe and the British Army were victorious over Washington and the Continental Army at the Battle of Long Island, for which he was made a Knight of the Order of the Bath and which the present glass would appear to commemorate. That September he lead another British invasion of New York City in the Battle of Harlem Heights, the result of which restored the confidence of the Continental Army in what was Washington's first success of the War.Howe again defeated Washington at the Battles of Brandywine in September 1777 and Germantown in October 1777, but went on to launch an attack against Philadelphia instead of coming to the aid of British General John Burgoyne at the Battles of Saratoga as planned. Without the support of Howe and his men, the British army at Saratoga was overwhelmed and forced to surrender to American General Horatio Gates that October. This American victory was one of the turning points of the Revolutionary War, which ultimately led to the Declaration of Independence and the loss of thirteen colonies.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
