This parliament was dominated by two immediate crises: the need to provide money for the state to maintain a large army and navy to fight an expensive war against Spain; and also the need to legitimise a government founded on a military constitution (the Instrument of Government of 1653) that had never been approved by parliament' (History of Parliament, online).

* Wellington (Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke, 1769-1852). Autograph letter signed, ‘Wellington’, Cartaxo, 13 December 1810, in brown ink on laid paper, marked at the head ‘Private & confidential’, addressed to C[harles] Stuart, 3 pages with sentiment and signature as one line on fourth page, light uniform toning, 4to, together with another autograph letter signed, ‘Wellington’, Cartaxo, 29 November 1810 , in a good clear hand in brown ink on laid paper (watermarked G. Jones 1809), to C[harles] Stuart, 3 pages, 4to (Qty: 2)NOTESFor the first work: A very revealing letter conveying Wellington’s opinion of Spaniards: ‘ It is difficult to understand the Spaniards exactly, they are such a mixture of haughtiness and low intrigue. The Marquis de la Romana and the officers about him are … perfectly happy with their reception here, and the manner in which they have been treated. I have been civil to all the other officers, as far as they have come within my reach; and they have been treated with great attention by all the General Officers of the army; and their men are as well, if not better off than our own. But I always doubt a Spaniard being satisfied with anything; and I should not be surprised if O’Donnell particularly, and possibly others, expressed dissatisfaction at being here’. Gurwood, Dispatches of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington , 1838. Volume VII, pages 37-38. For the second work: The letter concerns the buying of corn in Algiers by Mr Johnstone & Mr Sampayo. Supplies for both British and Portuguese armies was always a great concern to the Duke. Gurwood, Dispatches of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington , 1838. Volume VII, page 12.

'I have received from Marshal Beresford, regarding the miserable wants of the troops, to which I beg you, in this manner to draw attention of the Government. I omit to bring it before them in an official form, because I am unwilling to have such an account of the state of things (however true) go home to England' Gurwood, Dispatches of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington , 1838.

Original Illuminated Charter of Charles IIWith Details of Property Grants in Cork CityCo. Cork: A magnificent original Charter of Charles II dated 19 August in the 19th year of his reign (1667), listing many properties in the City of Cork with the names of forfeiting proprietors and new tenants.The purpose of the charter was to satisfy the demands for compensation of the "Forty-Nine Officers" - those officers who had served in the royalist army during the wars in Ireland prior to 5 June 1649, remaining loyal to the King thereafter and who had not therefore been granted lands by the Cromwellian government. It lists property in Cork City which had been held by Irish Catholics in 1641 and consequently forfeited under Cromwell, and which is now granted to the officers who had petitioned. They are represented by their trustees Captain Hercules Langford and Robert Fitzgerald Esq., and there is also a separate grant of land in counties Antrim and Armagh to Captain Langford.The charter consists of three membranes of vellum, measuring respectively approx 78 x 77, 78 x 59 and 75 x 34 cm (30 ¾ x 30 ½, 30 ¾ x 23 ¼ and 29 ¾ x 13 ½ inches). It is in fine condition but lacks its seal. The text (approx 6500 words) is in English. The head of the first sheet is exuberantly illuminated, the first six words being gilded with a silver background. The initial letter "C" of Charles is contained within a separate scrollwork panel in the left hand corner and surrounds a portrait of the King. To the right are the royal arms, with the lion and unicorn supporters also shown separately, together with national emblems such as the rose, thistle and fleur-de-lis (for England, Scotland and France), and a butterfly and dragonfly.The survival of the charter is miraculous: it was discovered by chance during a waste-paper campaign in the city, and rescued. The lengthy text (misdated to 1666) was transcribed and published in 1964 in the Journal of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society, together with a brief introduction, tabular summary, and map. This document is of major importance in tracing the development of Cork in the early modern period, especially as the Civil Survey for Cork city and county (apart from the barony of Muskerry) has not survived. It compares interestingly with a valuation of Cork City carried out in 1663-64 and published in vol. VI of the Civil Survey, edited by R.C. Simington.As a m/ss, w.a.f. *A highly important survival.

He wrote an account of the Barony of Forth in 1682, inscribed by James Ware. See C.
