*Afghanistan. Original draft manuscript transcriptions by Major James Outram (1803-1860) for his book Rough Notes on the Campaign in Sinde and Affghanistan in 1838-39: being Extracts from a Personal Journal kept while on the Staff of the Army of the Indus, circa 1840, a corrected manuscript version of Outram's notes on the political background to the outbreak of the First Afghan War in 1838, being 19 leaves of handwritten text, many arranged in double column, one loose sheet of manuscript text (frayed to edges), and one further loosely inserted partial sheet, bound in contemporary half calf, upper cover with handwritten label Afghanistan I (with the I crossed out and 'Material' handwritten beside), 4to (285 x 220 mm) The present manuscript work appears to be a transcript of texts taken from Elphinstone's Account of the Kingdom of Caubul, first published in 1815, but reissued in its third edition in 1838, and John William Kaye's History of the War in Afghanistan, first published in 2 volumes in 1851. Whether or not the present work is in the hand of Major Outram is open to debate. Outram was appointed as aide-de-camp to Sir John Keane in 1838 on the outbreak of the First Afghan War, where he displayed gallantry at Ghuznee. He was promoted to Major in 1839, became political agent in Lower Scinde, and subsequently Upper Scinde, and heroically defended the Hyderabad residents against 8000 Beluchis. His Rough Notes of the Campaign in Sinde and Afghanistan in 1838-39, was first published in Bombay in 1840. (1)

Lewis (Meriwether & Clarke, William). Travels to the Source of the Missouri River and Across the American Continent to the Pacific Ocean.

A good, unsophisticated copy of the first English edition. First published in Philadelphia in two octavo volumes in the same year as the present edition, this is the first British and typographically superior first quarto edition of the 'definitive account of the most important exploration of the North American continent' (Wagner-Camp). Funded by Congress, this was effectively the first exploration officially sponsored by the Federal Government of the United States. The expedition set out from St Louis in May 1804 and covered some eight thousand miles across the continent over two and a half years, establishing a route to the mouth of the Columbia River across the Rocky Mountains. The celebrated large folding map is an accurate copy of Clark's manuscript and considered the best cartographic representation of the entire northwestern quadrant of what is now the United States. The publication of the official account of the expedition took nearly ten years and was beset by numerous setbacks including the tragic death in 1809 of Lewis by murder or suicide. Provenance: While handwriting comparison with letters held by the Library of Congress has been inconclusive the ownership signature may be that of Andrew Moore (1752-1821), an American lawyer and politician from Lexington, Virginia. In 1776, he was commissioned a 1st Lieutenant in the 9th Virginia Regiment and rose to the rank of Captain in the Continental Army, seeing action at Saratoga. After the war he was eventually commissioned a Major General in the Virginia militia in 1803. He was a delegate to the Virginia Convention that ratified the United States Constitution in 1788. He was a member of Virginia legislature 1789 -1791 and 1799-1800. He represented Virginia in both the US House (1789-97, 1804) and the US Senate (1804-1809). In 1810 he was appointed marshal of the district of Virginia, which office he held until his death. (1)
