These are two books related to Lord Nelson, one about the Victory and how it was built, the other a comprehensive bibliography that covers his life and naval career. The first is The Anatomy Of Nelson’s Ships, by C. Nepean Longridge, with drawings designed by E. Bowness and executed by G. F. Campbell, published by Percival Marshall & Company Ltd. London in 1955, and it’s probably a first edition because there is just a single date on the copyright page; with a label on the spine and a gilt title on the cover surrounded by a gilt-ruled border, and blank endpapers. The book covers the hull and rigging of the Victory and is filled with figures, illustrations, and plates, as well as a fold-out of the H.M.S. Victory’s deck plans, a large fold-out of the rigging for the ship, and another of the fore-top and fore-mast of the Victory. The book is 283 pages long, with fading on the spine, light foxing, and pencilled notes on the last free endpaper about spacing between the masts. The book measures 9 7/8 x 7 3/8 in. wide and a valuable resource for Nelson enthusiasts. The second book is Lord Nelson 1758 - 1805 A Bibliography, by Leonard W. Cowie, from Bibliographies of British Statesmen, no. 7, published by Meckler Corporation, Westport, CT and Meckler Ltd., Grosvenor Gardens, London, 1990. It’s printed on acid-free paper, with gilt lettering on the spine, gilt titles on black boards, blank endpapers, it's 191 pages long and includes a list of manuscripts and archival resources about Nelson, his naval background, a chronological list of battles and engagements, as well as personal events in his life. It has references about the battles of Cape St. Vincent and Teneriffe, the battle of the Nile, his engagements in Naples and Sicily, his life at Merton Place, and the battle of Trafalgar, which ended his life, and there is an index that lists his ships and over 1300 references that cover Nelson’s private and naval career. The book is a first edition which measures 9 1/4 x 6 1/4 in. wide and is In exceptional condition, clean and bright. The two books are being sold as one lot and are great resource material for anyone who follows Lord Nelson and his life and naval career.

Interesting Particulars Of The Loss Of The American Ship Hercules, Capt. William Stout, On The Coast Of Caffraria, June 16, 1796; The Consequent Sufferings And Subsequent Adventures Of The Crew, During a long and painful Journey over the Southern Regions of Africa, To the Cape Of Good Hope. London: Printed for Thomas Tegg, 111, Cheapside. Tegg was at 111 Cheapside between 1805 and 1824, and the printer was Plummer, of Seething Lane; Plummer was trading as Plummer and Brewis as of 1809 and he moved from Seething Lane to Love Lane in 1810, so the book was probably published around 1809, and it was priced at only sixpence. This book is 3/4 bound, with just a sliver of a title in gilt on the spine - the lettering is really that small, about a millimeter wide - with mauve boards, blank endpapers, the title page and 27 pages of text. The ship was built in New England in 1792 and was hired by the British East India Company to carry rice from India to England. It set sail for Bengal in December 1795 and ran into a gale on June 1, 1796, which got progressively worse until the 7th, “when the contentions of the sea and winds presented a scene of horror, which, perhaps, the annals of marine history gives us no example … The terrors of the day could only be surpassed by those of the night.” A great way to start a book. The crew started with sixty, thirteen were drowned, the rest of the shipwrecked crew went ashore off the coast of South Africa and were well treated by the local tribesmen, but when they arrived at a European settlement, there were only twenty-four who arrived safely. Some were left behind as they made their way inland, and eventually the stragglers arrived at Cape Town, but the British general in charge didn’t treat them too kindly, and that is how the story goes. See Sabin 92354. Only three copies are listed in special collections around the world: at the University of Michigan, Durham University, and the National Library of New Zealand. All the other copies are from 1819 or are on microfilm. (See WorldCat.) The book measures 7 1/8 x 4 1/4 in. wide and is in great condition, with no browning or soiling. We’ve found only two copies that were sold at auction since 1969, and a rare story of an American ship and crew that didn’t fare too well on its way from India to England.

He was educated at Eton and Sandhurst, and entered the Grenadier Guards 16 July 1890. Lieutenant Hobart, after serving nearly seven years in the Grenadier Guards, was in 1897 seconded for service in the Uganda Protectorate, at that time under the administration of the Foreign Office, and joined the Protectorate Forces, consisting chiefly of Sudanese, who had previously served under Emin Pasha at Wadelai, whilst on a punitive expedition in the Nandi country. Order having been restored, he was detailed to march two companies of Sudanese back to Headquarters at Kampala. On the way he received news of the disaffection of Mwanga, the native King of Uganda, who had raised the standard of revolt in Buddu, one of the southern provinces of his kingdom. He hastened on to the capital, and was thence despatched with his men in a fleet of canoes down the west coast of Victoria Nyanza to occupy and hold the crossing over the Katonga River, separating Buddu from the rest of Uganda, whilst the main forces of the Protectorate under Colonel T P B Ternan, DSO, moved down overland. He successfully carried out his instructions, and the rebels were subsequently defeated in two engagements, at which he was present, which resulted in King Mwanga fleeing into German territory and the bulk of his followers dispersing into the wilds of Ankole. Lieutenant Hobart was left in charge of the reconquered province with two and a half companies of Sudanese. These remained loyal during the subsequent mutiny of portion of the same force in the eastern part of the Protectorate, and though hard pressed at one time, he succeeded in holding his own against the Baganda rebels, who collected again on the news of the mutiny, being joined by the ex-King Mwanga, who contrived to escape from German custody. After several expeditions had been organized against them, in all of which he took part, he was fortunately enabled, whilst in command of an advanced guard composed of Baganda levies, to come up to and inflict a decisive blow on King Mwanga's main forces at Kisalera. Mwanga's ally, the rebel King of Koki, was killed, and Mwanga himself barely escaped, only to be captured a few months later in the north of the Protectorate with the remnants of the Sudanese mutineers, who were finally defeated with the assistance of a native regiment from India.For his services during the above operations he was mentioned in Despatches, and also in Parliament, and received the Uganda Medal and clasp. He was also created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 20 May 1898]: "Claud Vere Cavendish Hobart, Lieutenant, Grenadier Guards. In recognition of the, services during the recent operations in Uganda". On the outbreak of the South African War in 1899, Captain Hobart had just returned to England, and was sent out with the first contingent of troops to the Cape to act as Staff Officer on the Midland Line of Communications. In this capacity he assisted in raising several corps of local volunteers, by whom the Midland Line of railway from Port Elizabeth to Naauwpoort was seized and garrisoned; but falling a victim to a severe attack of enteric fever, he was invalided home in the summer of 1900, subsequently receiving the Queen's South African Medal with clasp for Cape Colony. In 1902 Captain Hobart officiated as a Gold Staff Officer at the Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, and was also in charge of Apolo Kagwa, the native Prime Minister and Regent of Uganda, who came over to attend the ceremony, and for whom he interpreted on the occasion of his being granted an audience by King Edward. In December 1906, Major Hobart retired from the Regular Army, and was placed on the Reserve of Officers; but in 1908, on the inauguration of the Territorial Force, he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel Commanding Princess Beatrice's Isle of Wight Rifles (8th Battalion The Hampshire Regiment), which he raised and reorganized from a small volunteer nucleus and commanded till 1913, when he retired. He again acted as Gold Staff Officer at a Coronation—that of King George V and Queen Mary, in 1911. On the European War breaking out in 1914, Lieutenant Colonel Hobart, after serving for short periods on the Embarkation Staff at Southampton and the Military Landing Staff at Havre, was sent to the front in Flanders as a Railhead Commandant, being subsequently appointed Administrative Commandant of the railheads of an army. He was mentioned in Despatches in 1916 and 1918, and received the 1914 Star. Lieutenant Colonel C V C Hobart married, on 10 December 1900, at St Peter's, Eaton Square, London, Violet Verve, second daughter of John Wylie, of West Cliff Hall, Hants, and they had one son, Robert Hampden, born 7 May 1915.
