COHEN MORRIS: (1887-1970) British-Canadian Adventurer, aide-de-camp to Sun Yat-sen and a Major-General in the Chinese National Revolutionary Army. Rare book signed, a hardback edition of Two-Gun Cohen by Charles Drage, published by Jonathan Cape, London, 1954 (second impression). Signed in bold black fountain pen ink by Cohen to the front free endpaper, also adding some Chinese characters and with a small square red stamp alongside, further signed by Charles Drage in black fountain pen ink above, adding the date 9th December 1954 in his hand. Bound in red cloth (spine faded) and lacking the dust jacket. About VG Cohen's life story is an interesting one - he arrived in China in 1922 and trained Sun Yat-sen's small armed forces to box and shoot, and he soon became one of Sun's main protectors, accompanying the Chinese leader to war zones and conferences. Cohen carried two guns with him and the western community were intrigued by Sun's gun-toting protector and began calling him 'Two-Gun Cohen', a name which stuck, hence the title of the present biography. When the Japanese invaded China in 1937 Cohen joined the fight and undertook some tasks for the British Intelligence Agency, Special Operations Executive (SOE). Cohen was in Hong Kong when the Japanese attacked in December 1941 and, on the fall of Hong Kong, the Japanese imprisoned Cohen in Stanley Prison Camp. He was not released until late 1943 as part of a rare prisoner exchange.
[SOONG MAY-LING]: (1898-2003) Madame Chiang Kai-shek. First Lady of the Republic of China 1948-75. T.L.S., Mayling Soong Chiang, in facsimile, two pages, 4to, Hankow, Hupeh, 26th September 1938, to '1917 and other Wellesley Friends', on the printed stationery of the Headquarters of the Generalissimo. Madame Chiang states that she is sending her correspondents a book (no longer present) which has just come off the press and is 'a souvenir and record of what has happened in China this past year', continuing, in part, 'Most of the articles were composed under great pressure….and therefore they are not well written. The Publicity Department edited and printed this edition without my knowledge…..I did not see this book until after it was printed. I did, however, choose the cover - and as it was then about Reunion I chose our class colour - cornflower blue. The autographed copies I am sending you are of interest because some of the imperfections are due to the unusual difficulties we are undergoing in Hankow owing to war conditions. At this writing the Japanese army is only 100 miles from Hankow, but we are still here and shall remain, even if doing so means hanging on by the skin of our teeth. We are making the enemy pay dearly for every inch of our territory they are scorching……For the honor of the Wellesley English Department, however, I must disclaim authorship of the article entitled "Upbringing of Children of Revolutionary Martyrs"……One of my friends just yesterday called my attention to it by remarking that "it smacks of chop-suey, flavored with Maggi sauce, and cooked by a Main Street bride from a random recipe given her by a tourist cousin." When I read it I felt that she was quite justified in making such a caustic comment, although I myself could not burst out laughing at some of the purple patches. Please laugh with me……Let me thank you for helping the war orphans now christened "Warphans". Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG The present letter is dated during the Second Sino-Japanese War 1937-45.
KITCHENER HERBERT: (1850-1916) 1st Earl Kitchener. British Field Marshal associated with the Boer War. Kitchener also played a central role in the early part of World War I.A good A.L.S., Kitchener, four pages, 8vo, n.p., 15th November 1904, to Beauchamp Duff ('My dear Duff'), on the printed stationery of the Commander in Chief in India. Kitchener announces 'I quite like the notice in the Pioneer that commands remain commands & do not become Army Corps until they go into the field. You might let this be known' and further adds that he has 'been bothered by home' to recommend a medal for Aden, although has not done so, and also remarks 'We must work up the decentralism of work from commands to divisions. When I get back I hope to take this up so please collect notes etc. on the subject' before concluding 'People at home recommend the abolition of commands & making 9 divisions correspond with Hd. Qts. I should like to do it if I could but doubt financial possibility'. A letter of good content and association. Some extremely minor, light age wear and a few traces of former mounting, otherwise VG Beauchamp Duff (1855-1918) Scottish General with the British Indian Army, Commander-in-Chief of India during World War I. Kitchener served as Commander-in-Chief of India from 1902-09 and one of his first tasks was to plan the reorganisation and redistribution of the army in India. His proposed reforms were initially supported by the Viceroy, Lord Curzon of Kedleston, although the two men eventually came into conflict. Provenance: The present letter was previously the property of the English comedian Frankie Howerd (1917-1992) and sold at auction as part of his estate in December 2005.

[CAPE OF GOOD HOPE - BATTLE OF CONGELLA]: LEWIS GEORGE GRIFFITH: (1784-1859) British Lieutenant General, Commanded the Royal Engineers at the Cape of Good Hope 1836-42. A lengthy, interesting A.L.S., G. G. Lewis, four pages, folio, Cape Town, 12th June 1842, to Sir George Napier, marked 'Private'. Griffith writes to express his concerns regarding Captain Smith's party at Natal being overpowered by the Boers ('by my accounts….seems not only possible, but more than probable') and details the position of Smith's camp, which is favourable in some respects, being free from bush and with plenty of water, 'but unfortunately this position is unconnected with their supplies and if the Boers have the least capacity for war, they will entrench themselves on the edge of the Harbour, connected with their camp and fire upon any one and intercept every thing passing', further stating 'Should then untoward circumstances lead to the destruction or submission of Captain Smith's party and should the guns, arms, stores and ammunition fall into the hands of the Boers, and they hold the two points at the entrance of the harbour and fortify & arm those points, and entrench themselves, I am afraid that the Force now going is inadequate to retake the place, or not to be taken without considerable loss…..' and continuing 'The entrance of the harbour is not wider than the range of the Dutch musket & within Grape shot of heavy Artillery; if therefore the harbour is attempted to be forced, it will be difficult and hazardous…….But if the Boers are in entire possession of the harbour & have fortified themselves, & are determined to resist; whether it might be found better that the troops under Lt. Col. Cloete return to Cape Town & then wait until a sufficient force can be organised', also adding 'Major Charters has stated that 1,000 mounted men were necessary to subdue the Boers and he had opportunities of judging, and we have yet to know how far he was wrong…..I conceive it would be well not to risk another force, under existing circumstances without a certainty or nearly so, of success; for a reverse would perhaps affect the proposed arrangements of the home Government and possibly embarrass your command. If the Boers should be in undisputed possession of Natal I again fear that nothing can be done by force at present, but perhaps negotiation, Lt. Colonel Cloete being their countryman, and I think you have chosen well in selecting him to command the force going, may do by persecution, what can not be done by force, in showing the people there, the folly, in opposing an Empire like the British, and the fallacy of supposing the Dutch Government would interfere in their behalf…..' and concluding by remarking 'In attempting to relieve Captain Smith from his difficulties, it appears to me you have adopted every means necessary & prudent, and your prompt measures I feel assured will be successful if that soldier holds out'. A letter of good association and fine military content written at the time of the Battle of Congella. One small, neat split at the base of the central vertical fold, not affecting the text or signature, otherwise VG Sir George Thomas Napier (1784-1855) British Lieutenant General, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Cape Colony 1838-44 during which time the abolition of slavery and the expulsion of the Boers from Natal occurred. Abraham Josias Cloete (1794-1886) Afrikaner General in the British Army. In 1842 Cloete was sent with reinforcements from Cape Town to relieve a small force under Captain Thomas C. Smith of the 27th (Inniskilling) Regiment of Foot which was besieged by insurgent Boers near Port Natal (now Durban). Cloete's firm action not only avoided a battle but pathed the way for a permanent settlement of the subsequent Natal Colony. He later served as Quartermaster-General in the Xhosa Wars of 1846.

[CAPE OF GOOD HOPE - BATTLE OF CONGELLA]: CHAMBERS COURTNEY (d.1848) British Lieutenant-Colonel who served at the Battle of Waterloo under the Duke of Wellington and later Commanded the 25th Regiment of Foot at the Cape of Good Hope. A.L.S., C Chambers, three pages, folio, Cape Town, 10th August 1842, to [Abraham Josias] Cloete. Chambers states 'It occurred to me a few days ago that from your having had 400 of the 25th Regiment under your command at Natal you might probably wish to have my opinion upon the measures you carried into effect when employ'd upon a service of no ordinary nature, but one that required as much discretion and sound sense as any that ever perhaps agitated the minds of the Colonists at the Cape - English and Dutch' and continues to inform Cloete that, having considered the matter with close attention, he is 'quite satisfied that the course you pursued was not only the best, but the only judicious right and just one', further remarking 'I cannot understand the motives or views of those who have manifested so much hostility to your proceedings'. In a postscript Chambers also adds 'Major D'Urban who was with you fully concurs in my opinion and indeed so do all the officers of the Regiment whose age and experience enable them to form a correct judgement'. A letter of good content written a few months after the Battle of Congella. VG Abraham Josias Cloete (1794-1886) Afrikaner General in the British Army. In 1842 Cloete was sent with reinforcements from Cape Town to relieve a small force under Captain Thomas C.

V. L. Cameron, General, by Verney Lovett Cameron (1844-1894, African Explorer, assisted David Livingstone in 1873 and became the first European to cross equatorial Africa from sea to sea, 1875), two pages, 8vo, The Castle, Cape Town, 6th June 1893, to Captain Jardine, thanking his correspondent, the officers and members of the Cape Town Highlanders for their congratulations and commenting 'you may rely on my always doing all that in me lies to promote the welfare & efficiency of the Volunteer Force on whose preparedness to meet the attack the safety of Cape Town may some day largely depend'; an A.L.S., Colquhon Grant, by Sir Colquhon Grant (1764-1835, British Lieutenant General, a member of David Baird's expedition to the Cape of Good Hope in 1806 where he was wounded in action at the Battle of Blaauwberg), four pages, 4to, Elizanda, Valley of Eastern Pyrenees, 15th October 1819, to Captain Cloete of the 15th Kings Hussars, explaining the reasons for the delay in replying to his correspondent's letter and continuing to express his opinions of Cloete's future, based also upon correspondence with his father, 'I also have received letters from your worthy Father since my arrival in this country. It was my wish to communicate with you on the subject of them, but a multiplicity of anxious (?) affairs has heretofore prevented me. Your Father, I am sorry to observe, seems determined not to make you any future allowance, & it must be admitted that he has been already exposed to a heavy expense on your account. An expense for which he was not only little prepared, but even never anticipated when you originally entered into the Hussars. You must be sensible that his conduct towards you has been Fatherly & remarkably handsome. You are therefore, & on every account, implicitly bound to follow his advice, & the more particularly so, as it appears, that advice corresponds with your own judgment, for you admit it is altogether impossible for you to exist with credit, or respectability, on your Regimental pay. Under those circumstances, I am already of opinion that, when an eligible opportunity of exchange offers, you ought in justice to yourself, & to your family, to embrace it with alacrity'; and an A.L.S., F. Eardley-Wilmot, by Frederick Eardley-Wilmot (1812-1877, British Major General), three pages, 4to, Observatory, 8th August 1846, to Lieutenant Colonel Cloete, stating that he has been reading the dispatches and is anxious to receive a further account of the attack on Macomo, further criticising some of the reports that he has read in the newspapers ('Seriously, it is something to get out of an Editor that he will investigate a thing when the truth is quietly pointed out to him'), referring to a visit to Cloete's mother and also continuing 'The attempted assassination of Louis Phillipe fills the English papers. Provisions become dirt cheap down at Cape Town: the marked glutted with Rice…..a merchant told me that many will suffer very greatly, who have speculated in that article', further writing of mutual acquaintances including Revd. George Childe, the new Astronomical Assistant, who 'took the highest Mathematical honours of his year, at Oxford, and will soon make up his leeway as far as the practical part, and the manipulation of instruments, are concerned' and also remarking 'What a curious “heading” was put to the “Govt. Advertt.” Which contained Somerset's dispatch! Not very high commendation that “the conduct of the Troops is justly entitled to commendation” - where was the loose screw? Those 3 guns for the Chiefs was a queer concern and one which would rather astonish His Excy. I should think. Did he recongnise the act, or follow the yankee fashion, and repudiate?'

INDIA: Charles Canning (1812-1862) 1st Earl Canning. English Statesman and Governor-General of India (1856-62) during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 after which he also served as the first Viceroy of India (1858-62). A.L.S., Canning, one page, 12mo, Grosvenor Square, London, 7th March n.y., to Dr. Meryon. Canning informs his correspondent that he won't leave home until after 12.30 or 1 o'clock 'and shall be glad if you can look in before that'. Neatly laid down; Harry Smith (1787-1860) British Lieutenant General of the Napoleonic Wars, remembered for his successful command in the Battle of Aliwal on 28th January 1846, regarded as the turning point in the First Anglo-Sikh War. A good, lengthy A.L.S., Harry Smith, eight pages, 4to, Simla, Himalayas, 20th October 1842, to [Abraham Josias] Cloete. Smith congratulates his correspondent on the successful and satisfactory termination of his contract and continues, 'In the contemplation of these operations, which appears to have been so much the topic of discussion, controversy and sarcasm, the first question which arises is - What more beneficial result could have been attained by the Prosecution of the War upon our own misguided subjects - impelled by circumstances and deceived by false reasoning certainly, to the insurrectionary step they had taken. Now seeing their error, having delivered up Prisoners, all other Trophies momentary success had placed in their hands, tendering their unconditional submission and allegiance. The answer is most obvious - None whatever, a War of extermination might have glutted the sanguinary desires of its advocates, but justice and humanity shudder at the thought of persecution, on even the most hostile of our enemies - how great therefore must cool reflection render that War execrable which has alone for its avowed object revenge - such a feeling is beneath the Dignity of a Great and Civilized Nation productive of no Public Benefit, while it entails much individual misery on probably the least offending of the sufferers……the contest would have involved the most cruel of savages, with the Christians and the results would have disgraced the most civilized of all nations, which condemns in others this mode of retributive retaliation', further discussing the Convention of Cintra ('the Retreat through Portugal was the most simple of all operations') and the three options open to the Boers, and writing in detail of Cloete's actions ('you have done your Duty, both in a Military and Political view, promptly, judiciously…..and deserving of Praise') as well as writing of his own current situation, 'I have just now 34,000 Troops under my adjutant general's jurisdiction and only one assistant, to you therefore who know the energy with which I handle every matter it must be evident I am not idle…..'

SHIPIBO PADDLE MID 19TH CENTURY, PERU carved wood, with crescent handle and long shaft with a prominent mid-rib leading to a slender paddle with long projection at the base (Dimensions: 173cm tall)(173cm tall) Provenance: Collected in situ by Cecelia (ne Johnson) and Timothy Smith c. 1866 - 1869 whilst charting the upper reaches of the Peruvian Amazon on behalf of the government. Thence by descent. Smith was born in South America, the son of a British engineer to whom the Peruvian government had employed to survey a southern province in the 1830's. He held a commision in the Peruvian army and was employed along with his wife Cecelia to explore the remote reaches of the jungle on the eastern border with Brazil. The couple later settled in Iquitos and were prominent citizens. The city of Leticia, now on the Peruvian-Colombian border, was named in Cecelia's honour.
CELTIBERIAN "PUGIO" DAGGER AND SCABBARD IBERIA, 1ST CENTURY B.C. cast iron, the handle formed of two sections, held together by joints inserted into discs at the centre and pommel, the blade of tapering form with median midrib, the scabbard of "frame-type" with one open side and the other decorated with double-spiral motifs and openwork panels (Dimensions: 32.5cm long)(32.5cm long) Provenance: Axel Guttmann Collection of Ancient Arms and Armour. Exhibited at the Guttmann museum with supporting image. Note: A remarkable survival, this shortarm dagger is of Iberian construction, but the shape later became more famous as the Roman pugio, the standard issue legionnaires sidearm. It was when campaigning against the Celtiberians in the first century BC that the Roman form first came into widespread use, suggesting the Roman army appreciated the strengths of the native weapon. Interestingly the decorative square and teardrop shaped cavities on the sheath of the present example have been patched with metal in ancient times. Perhaps to better guard the iron blade from the effects of wet weather.
