After several years in Ireland, he was posted to the Umballa station in India in 1878 where duties consisted of escort and transport tasks along the Khyber lines of communication. Whilst commanding a squadron at Basowal, following the murder of the political agent Cavagnari and the failure of the Treaty of Gandamak, he was charged with accompanying the deposed Emir Yaqub Khan into exile in India. He was present at the affair at Dakka on 15 January 1880, as mentioned in our notebook, before rejoining the Headquarters of the Regiment at Jellalabad. In August 1880 he was appointed Orderly Officer to the Cavalry Brigadier, General Sir Hugh Gough and with the Cavalry Brigade accompanied Lt. General Sir Frederick Roberts on his famous, impressively fast, march from Kabul to Kandahar, and was present at the battle of Kandahar on 1st September. He was the only member of the regiment to receive a bronze star for this epic journey and was mentioned in despatches.After the Afghan campaign, Major Burnley saw service in the first Boer campaign (see lot 13) and retired in 1882, receiving the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in consideration of his distinguished service during the Afghan War. In June 1907 he became a real-life Phileas Fogg by circumnavigating the globe in 40 days, 19 hours and 30 minutes, breaking the previous record of 54 days, a record which he held for four years. His papers have been in the possession of his family until now.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

![CARLYLE (THOMAS)Three autograph letters signed ('T. Carlyle') to an unnamed recipient [Peter Bayne], the first thanking him f](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/5329f428-b57e-403c-aeba-ad3b00cf838d/39269027-f70b-4209-90f7-ad4a00ad799e/468x382.jpg)
CARLYLE (THOMAS)Three autograph letters signed ('T. Carlyle') to an unnamed recipient [Peter Bayne], the first thanking him for the book, assuring him '...there is nothing in your opinions or in your conduct which can be matter of offence to me...' and commenting '...The longer I live, the more I value pious silence, and that proof of truth which comes from acting it, instead of speaking it, or arguing about it...', regretting '...in my present state of hurry... it will not be well feasible to make your acquaintance...'; the second pronouncing on the value of silence ('...it often seems to me as if the very fountain of our woes lay even there, in this universal wagging of the tongue and pen which has fallen on the British People, and in a degree on all Peoples... nature silently rebukes and inexorably punishes them all; but in the fatal list there is none worth naming beside 'incontinence of tongue'...'); and the last confirming he has received his book of essays and letter ('...If I ever again achieve the least leisure for pleasant reading... I will probably examine your... volume...') and wishing him much success, 9 pages, on two bifolium and a single leaf, dust staining and a few small tears, one old small loss where removed from album, remains of guard on two, 8vo (180 x 110mm.), Chelsea, 23 June 1855, 28 July 1855 and 15 April 1859Footnotes:'I SINCERELY WISH YOU WELL, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOODWILL TOWARD ME': CARLYLE'S 'DEXTROUS POLITENESS' TO A SCOTTISH CRITIC.Despite being critical of Thomas Carlyle's religious views in his preface to the first edition of his The Christian Life, Social and Individual, published in 1855, Peter Bayne, then editor of Witness, sent him a copy of the book for his perusal. Whilst Carlyle's response is polite and indeed lengthy, he immediately sent the book and Bayne's note to Jean Aitken for her amusement, with a covering note depicting a non-too-flattering portrait of Bayne and exhorting her to burn his letter after reading: '...Bayne has sent me his Book, with the enclosed Note; to both of which I make you very welcome... I send you the Letter too, in the chance you may get some kind of entertainment out of the affair. Bayne I guess to be some young Edinburgh Preacher (or the like), with great heart, and probably as yet little stuff on board: I do not dislike him, only judge he may have a good deal of wind just now upon his stomach;—and that if he had written nothing, it would have been still wiser for him. Silence about all this; and burn his Letter, poor fellow. I answered in a kind manner; but evaded (with dextrous politeness) to make an acquaintance just now!— Burn the Letter' (25 June 1855). By the time the second edition was published in 1859, Bayne had added a new preface, listing Carlyle's perceived shortcomings but also recognising the importance of Carlyle's contributions to Christian teaching. Again, despite another polite reply to Bayne, Carlyle has no intention of reading the book as promised in our letter and promptly sends it the same day to Charlotte Williams Wynn, enclosing the note '...there has an eloquent volume come to me this day, by a certain peter bayne: which i judge will suit you much better than me...' (see Duke University Press Carlyle Letters online). By 1861, according to Ruskin's biographer Timothy Hilton, Bayne had become rather 'tiresome' and published a 'foolish pamphlet' entitled Terrorism for Christ's Sake in which he had tried to adjudicate between Carlyle and methodist preacher Charles Spurgeon. Since then Carlyle did his best to avoid him in public: '...in 1861 Carlyle had fled from a dinner with John James Ruskin when his critic suddenly arrived at the house...' (Hilton, T., John Ruskin, 2002, p.330). Our letters are not published in the 2002 edition of The Collected Letters of Thomas & Jane Welsh Carlyle.Provenance: Peter Bayne (1830-1896), and thence by descent.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Maguire 1849 [-1849, -1851]'), and each with a facsimile signature of the sitter in the margin below, Kelvin and Faraday portraits with foxing mainly in the margins; together with a lithographed self-portrait by Maguire, octagonal format half-length profile, signed in the image, inscribed on reverse 'T.H. Maguire by himself', undated, all mounted on card, framed and glazed, 385 x 306mm., [Ipswich, 1849-1951]Footnotes:MAGUIRE'S SCARCE PORTRAIT OF DARWIN - FROM THE ARTIST'S STUDIO.Thomas Herbert Maguire (1821–1895, artist and lithographer) produced these three scarce scientific portraits as part of a series titled Portraits of the Honorary Members of the Ipswich Museum. The 60 portraits were privately commissioned by George Ransome, FLS, to celebrate the foundation of the Ipswich Museum, and executed between 1847 and 1852, some from life and others from photographs as the Museum obtained fresh scientific sponsors. Copies of the lithographs were given to subscribing members of the Museum, and a bound portfolio of the series was presented to Prince Albert. Maguire was later appointed lithographer ordinary to Her Majesty the Queen, and for a time had a studio in Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, where he executed many lithographic portraits of members of the Royal Family.The series was published in 1852 by M. & N. Hanhart with their imprint added below the facsimile signatures. This imprint is found on the vast majority of the portraits present in the National Portrait Gallery, Wellcome Collection and British Museum, including those of our three sitters. The present examples are without imprints and have remained in the family, presumably being the artist's own copies or just possibly proofs.The portrait of Darwin at the age of 40, at a time when he was struggling to come to terms with his father's death and the onset of his daughter Annie's scarlet fever, is one of the very few known portraits of him as a younger man, following Richmond's 1840 wedding portrait and a daguerreotype of 1842 taken with his son William. There are examples of the Maguire portrait in the British Museum and Wellcome Collection, but it is missing from the the National Portrait Gallery series. We have traced only one other print, again with the Hanhart imprint, sold at auction in 2019.The artist's striking self-portrait, not issued with the Ipswich series, seems exceptionally rare and has not been traced anywhere.Provenance: Thomas Henry Maguire; and thence by descent to the present owner.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A late 19th century English school portrait of Lawrence Heyworth 1786-1872, oil on canvas. The gilt frame stamped T.L. Clemments Patent to the reverse. 126 cm x 97 cm. Lawrence Heyworth was born in 1786 at Greensnook Estate in Bacup, Rossendale, Lancashire in northwest England, to Elizabeth Ormerod (ca 1751 – >1805) and Peter Heyworth (1743 – 1799). He was christened on 28 March 1786 at Newchurch, Rossendale. His family was prominent cotton manufacturers at Backup and active churchgoers. His father died when he was 13 years old. He had four brothers named John, Ormerod, James and George and two sisters, both named Susanna, although the firstborn of the two died at the age of two years. Lawrence started his basic schooling in Bacup but later went to Hipperholme Grammar School near Halifax in West Yorkshire where he became the pupil of Dr John Fawcett of Ewood Hall. He then completed his education under Rev. T. Hudson at the Grammar School of Hipperholrae, also near Halifax. In 1802 at the age of sixteen, Lawrence left school and joined his brothers at his late father’s woollen and cotton manufacturing business in Bacup. He was probably best known and admired for his campaigning against the bread tax easing the plight of the hungry poor.
