Airy (George Biddell, 1801-1892). A group of four autograph letters signed ‘G. B. Airy’, 1849/1870, the first and last to Archibald Smith, the second to Lady Parker and the third to William Scoresby, the first concerning the shipwreck of St. Paul and the main Adria, 3 pp., the second offering his good wishes to Lady Parker on the engagement of her daughter Susan to Archibald Smith, 2 pp., plus integral blank, the third to Scoresby (11th January 1856), regretting that he cannot give a quick abstract of a paper sent to the Royal Society, ‘but I may mention that, on reducing the changes of compass to changes of intensity in the ships’ magnetism, it appeared that even as far as the Cape of Good Hope there was only one instance in which the maximum error (supposing the Liverpool errors to have been corrected by magnets), would have been 5 degrees in other instances, it would have been much less.’, and later, ‘The most satisfactory way of doing this, I think, would be by the use of Gray’s adjustable correctors, finding and registering the position of the correctors proper for complete correction at each station’, 4 pp., the final letter on Oil Observatory Greenwich letterhead and explaining his reasons for separating the various periodic terms in the earth currents and ‘A good deal less laborious and more easily trusted to a young computer than that given by Fourier’s theorum’, and noting three characteristic differences between his results and those of Fourier and continuing with an explanation of same and other matters including a vibrating string, 4 pp., first and last page a little toned, all 8vo. (4).

Sabine (Edward, 1788-1883). Autograph letter signed, ‘Edward Sabine’, 6th October [1849], to [Archibald] Smith, beginning ‘The relation of the Esquimaux seems very circumstantial, even to the fact of 2 of the ships having been frozen in for 4 years, and for the other 2, one year. If a story has not gained much of its coloring or found the [?] you are obviously hoping for a record, I scarcely see how it can be doubted.’, continuing later, ‘I have got a copy of the Esquimaux drawing of the position of the ships. it is curious how much more successful our first (Melville Island) voyage was then any of the subsequent ones have been, 4 pp., 8vo, together with orig. postmarked envelope, plus a second ALS to Smith from Sabine dated 19 January 1867 with sympathies on the loss of a friend, 1 p., plus integral blank, 8vo, plus a third ALS [to William Scoresby (?), 23rd November 1855, concerning compasses, etc., in part, ‘There is an excellent azimuth [?], compass, also a steering compass both in one, as is now usual, on its way back from the Paris Exhibition. It belongs, I presume, to the Hydrographic Office: and to save time I have written to Capt. Washington to propose that it should be lent to you, with a pocket chron[ometer] from his department.’, 4 pp., 8vo, plus three further letters from Sabine’s wife Elizabeth Julianna (1807-1879) to Smith’s wife Susan (1835-1913), all signed ‘E. J. Sabine’, a total of 9 pp., 8vo. (6).

Scoresby (William, 1789-1857). Two autograph letters signed, ‘W. Scoresby’, Torquay, 5th April 1851 & 26th December 1855, both to Archibald Smith, the first thanking him for his attention to his note, ‘and for the cases of durations appended me’. I think I see the whole phenomona satisfactorily and hoping that Smith might visit him in Torquay in the near future, 1 p., written to the blank leaf of a bifolium, the second leaf with printed details of Scoresby’s publications, the second letter, ‘You will probably have heard from Col. Sabine of my contemplated voyage, to Australia in the iron ship, Royal Charter, of 2700 tons. I hope, please God, to be able, in this instance to ascertain something of the nature and extent of the magnetic changes which take place on proceeding to as high a southerly dip as we have northerly at Liverpool. In one respect I am in much anxiety - that is about the arrangements for the compasses. One aloft, indeed, is likely to be satisfactory, but tho two on deck are both “adjusted” by magnets, designed by moved for changes, by which these ships original action is linked and, if once the magnets are moved, the whole affair rendered useless for determining the compass changes!.’, continuing with further information concerning the project and voyage, 4 pp., one small brown spot, plus a 3-page ALS to Scoresby from Argyll, 17 December 1855, concerning his proposed voyage to Australia for work concerning magentism on iron ships, and one further related letter from A.B. Beckson(?), 14 January 1856, all 8vo. The Arctic explorer, scientist and clergyman William Scoresby did indeed make the voyage to Australia in 1856. The results concerning additional data for his theories on magnetism appeared in a posthumous publication edited by Archibald Smith: ‘Journal of a Voyage to Australia for magnetical research’ (1859). In October 1859 the Royal Charter was wrecked off the beach of Port Alerth in Anglessey in what became known as the “Royal Charter Gale”. Some 450 people died from a total complement of some 500 passengers and crew. (4).
