(Manuscrit) - "L`Art d`extraire et de Recueillir Les pensées de divers auteurs, formant un tout qui ne doit jamais sans doute dispenser de Recourir aux Sources, mais qui peut conduire sur la Route".[Belgique (Ypres ou environs ?), circa 1783-1795].2 vol. in-f° : 279, 244-[56] pp. (le 2e vol. avec texte en tête-bêche paginé 27-101 auxquelles on a enlevé plusieurs ff. soit [56] pp. restantes).Rel. de l`époque : plein parchemin, dos plats, lacets de fermeture en peau (salissures, qqs manques).Imposant manuscrit écrit par un père pour son fils "estropié des mains et de pieds et peut-être hors d`état d`apprendre L`art d`Écrire" afin "qu`il épuisera dans mes Écrits le Premier devoir de tout homme, quel qu`il soit, qui est d`être vertueux". Constitué d`extraits épars, les textes ne sont pourtant en rien moralisateurs ou ennuyeux et l`on perçoit derrière leur choix un homme cultivé, curieux des choses de son temps (religion, politique, histoire, économie, science...), issu sans doute de la petite bourgeoisie, vivant en Flandres ou Brabant. Sans classement ni suite logique, seulement guidé par l`intérêt personnel du scripteur, le manuscrit est constitué d`extraits de journaux, brochures, ouvrages (peu de référence bibliographique) relatifs à l`utilisation du riz en cuisine (qui reste d`un emploi très marginal jusqu`au milieu du XIXe s.), l`encre invisible, la relation de l`incendie du palais de Bruxelles en 1731, la procession annuelle du miracle de Saint Sacrement, les élections des Américains, le Déisme, l`histoire des croisades, l`usage dangereux du cuivre mal étamé, l`abolition ou non de la torture, un Avis sur le blé germé (extrait du Comité de l`école gratuite de boulangerie et publié à Paris en 1782), un procès à propos d`un paratonnerre placé sur une maison, le procès de l`abbé de St-Vasse à Arras, une anecdote sur le gouverneur de Gibraltar, des propos relatifs à Joseph II, etc. Ces extraits comptent le plus souvent quelques dizaines de lignes et n`excèdent pas une ou deux pages.Joint (ens. 3 vol. in-f°) : Manuscrit in-f°, 172-[36] pp., plein papier (abîmé). Constitué de sujets divers (palais de glace, jésuites, l`éloquence heureuse, observation sur la sécheresse et la chaleur en 1800, la vaccine, sur la vieillesse, les volcans, etc.) rassemblés sans doute par Pierre-Louis Cuvelier, maître d`école et clerc-organiste de Reningelst près de Poperinge. Son testament occupe les pp. 154-161 et se révèle des plus intéressant quant à la condition des domestiques (qu`il lègue à l`une ou l`autre personne) et aux usages religieux funèbres.
Salignac de la Mothe FÉNELON, François de.- Explication des maximes des saints sur la vie intérieure.Paris, Pierre Auboin, Pierre Emery, Charles Clousier, 1697.In-12° : [36]-272-[1] pp. (qqs mouill. marg., notes mss marg., longues à certains ff.).Reliure pastiche de Paul Blocteur, Toulon (cachet sec sur la garde inf.) : pleine basane marbrée, dos fleuronné doré à nerfs, tr. rouges (inscription ms. sur la garde sup.).Édition originale de 1er tirage (avec la faute "la perfections" à la p. 48). Après avoir soutenu Fénelon, Bossuet le combattit sur le quiétisme et tenta de le faire condamner par le pape pour son "Explication des maximes". Fénelon y défendait entre autres Madame de Guyon, une des figures principales de cette doctrine du pur amour qui trouvait un certain écho à la Cour, notamment chez Mme de Maintenon. La querelle s`envenima, le pape condamna 23 articles de l’"Explication" par le "Cum alias ad apostolatus" et Fénélon fut poussé à quitter Versailles, perdant ainsi son poste de précepteur royal.# Tchemerzine V-167.

*Thomas (Edward, 1878-1917). A group of three autograph letters signed from Eleanor Farjeon, Edward Garnett and John Freeman, 18/19 April 1917, all to [Thomas] Seccombe, following news of Edward Thomas`s death when killed in action at Arras on Easter Monday, 9th April 1917, the longest letter from Eleanor Farjeon, begins `I am staying with Mrs Thomas for a while, and doing what I can. It is difficult for her to write letters just now, inspite of her courage and fineness, so I am writing to the friends whom she wants immediately to thank for their deep kindness. She wants me to thank you especially for writing your reminiscences of Edward and so hopes they will appear. There was a little paragraph by John Freeman in the Times last Saturday, and Gordon Bottomley has asked her if she would like him to do something for the Times Literary Supplement or the Nation ...`, 4 pp. on four leaves, some browning, not affecting legibility to upper margins, 8vo, the John Freeman letter, in part, `... Another reason for writing now is that I have heard to-night that Edward`s death was perfectly sudden, a shell killing while he was in the Observation Post. He died painlessly. His body was recovered two days after, & buried in a known spot. The exact day I don`t yet know. He posted a letter to me on 5th that gave me immense pleasure but also with a half foreboding: `Give my love to them: It is all I have to give anybody now` ...`, 2 pp., 8vo, a third letter from Edward Garnett thanking Seccombe for his `masterly tribute to Edward Thomas` in the Times Supplement, and later, in part `... I see that you wind up your letter with the words `this man was a born soldier` and this, of course, is a half-truth. `The War to End War` seems to be an exploded idea now; and the whole triumph of the germanic idea `a good warrior` seems to be ensured, unless the Slavs bring about a disintegration of the `Peace by Victory` argument. We are all, militarists and pacifists alike, struggling in a net of dreadful absurdity ...`, 2 pp. on two leaves, a little browning, 4to, plus a two-page letter from Thomas`s daughter Myfanwy Thomas on Edward and Helen Thomas Window Fund letterhead, 1st April 1970, to Mr. Reynold, with information on Edward Thomas biography, a few manuscript corrections, 2 pp., 4to, plus a related prospectus for The Engraved Window to Edward Thomas and Helen his Wife by Laurence Whistler, 1 p., 4to.

A Victorian 16th Queens Lancers Sabretache, bearing the regimentÍs device in gilt, mounted for display, with brass plaque ï16th The Queens LancersÍ, framed and glazed, the reverse inscribed in paint ïCol Wyndham QuinÍ, 42cm x 39cm. The 16th Queens Lancers. The regiment was raised as the second of the new regiments of light dragoons in 1759, as the 16th Regiment of (Light) Dragoons, also known as BurgoyneÍs Light Horse. In 1766 they were renamed after Queen Charlotte as the 2nd (or The QueenÍs) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons, the number being an attempt to create a new numbering system for the light dragoon regiments. However, the old system was quickly reestablished, with the regiment returning as the 16th (The QueenÍs) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons in 1769.They arrived in New York in September, 1776. They were involved in fighting at Brandywine, Paoli, and Monmouth Court House. They returned to Britain in December, 1778.They became lancers in 1816, as the 16th (The QueenÍs) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Lancers). The title was simplified in 1861 to the 16th (The QueenÍs) Lancers. After service in the First World War, the regiment retitled as the 16th The QueenÍs Lancers in 1921, and was amalgamated with the 5th Royal Irish Lancers to form the 16th/5th Lancers (later the 16th/5th The QueenÍs Royal Lancers) the following year.
