Foyle to front pastedown (evidence of earlier bookplate of another owner removed), all eges gilt, early 20th-century crushed green morocco gilt by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, some marginal browning and spine slightly darkened, large 8vo (267 x 188 mm)QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance, W.

In 1890 Plorn represented Wilcannia in the New South Wales Parliament, but resigned shortly afterwards. He then received an appointment as Rabbit Inspector for the Government of New South Wales, and subsequently was the Officer of the Lands Department in charge of the Moree district, where he died after an illness of some months.

* Pepys (Samuel, 1633-1703) and the Navy Board. A series of 27 documents signed by Pepys as Clerk of the Acts of the Navy, together with documents signed by William, 2nd Viscount Brouncker (38), Admiral Sir John Mennes (48), Sir Jeremy Smith (16) and other members of the Navy Board, Navy Office, 29 January 1668/9 to 18 December 1669, 126 documents in total, the majority with several signatures, addressed to Edward Gregory, Clerk of the Cheque and Storekeeper, and other officers at the Yards in Chatham, the majority endorsed on verso by recipient, together approximately 85 pages, folio, skilfully tipped into boards (some cropped, occasional wear to margins, holing and discolouration), arranged chronologically in three folio volumes, early 20th-century crushed blue morocco gilt by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, the upper and lower covers stamped with Pepys' emblem of 'S.P.' around two crossed anchors intertwined with rope, surmounted by his motto, border gilt fillets, the spines gilt in six compartments, lettered in three, gilt ruled turn-ins, gilt edges, folio (352 x 270 mm)QTY: (3)NOTE:Provenance: W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey (Christie’s London, 13 July 2000, lot 330).A series of administrative documents giving a picture of the workings of the Navy Board in 1669 under Samuel Pepys' control. Pepys was made Clerk of the Acts of the Navy on 23 June 1660 at the age of 27. He filled the role with considerable distinction at a time when the administration of the Navy was being modernised; a contemporary account declares him the most useful minister ever to have occupied his position. The period 1668-70 was an important one for the Navy Board and Pepys with the disasters of the Second Dutch War leaving the Board open to Parliamentary investigation of its numerous abuses; Pepys became the Board's chief defender, in particular in a magnificent performance before the House of Commons on 5 March 1669. From 1669 he was to be effectively in charge of the Navy.The other signatories of the documents in this collection naturally feature prominently in Pepys' diaries: William, 2nd Viscount Brouncker (1620?-1684) was a friend of both Pepys and John Evelyn; a mathematician and translator of Descartes, he was the first President of the Royal Society. Admiral Sir John Mennes (1599-1671) was Comptroller of the Navy and a minor poet; Pepys' diaries describe him as excellent company, but are scathing about his failing abilities in his post, describing him as one of those who 'sit and do nothing'. Admiral Sir Jeremy Smith (d. 1675) was a commissioner of the Navy from 1669 as Comptroller of Victualling.Pepys' failing eyesight caused him to give up his diaries during the course of the year covered by these documents, on 31 May 1669.

Pair: Engineer W. R. Donald, Royal Navy China 1857-60, no clasp, unnamed as issued; New Zealand 1845-66, reverse dated 1865 (Wm. R. Donald, Engnr., HM,S. Eclipse) officially impressed naming, very fine (2) £1,400-£1,800 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, March 2008. Approximately 24 medals with this reverse date to the Navy, including 3 officers and 8 ratings to the Eclipse. William Robertson Donald was born on 11 January 1828, at Johnstone, Renfrew. He trained in engineering at Messrs. Penn & Co. and passed at Woolwich, being appointed as Assistant Engineer 3rd Class to Blenheim on 12 November 1852, and then to Sidon in November the same year, before being transferred to Fisgard in November 1855. In March 1856 he was promoted to Assistant Engineer 2nd Class, and transferred to Formidable and then Edinburgh in July 1856, before being appointed to the Retribution when she was commissioned in August 1856 to the Pacific and China Station. He served in her during the Second China Wars until paid off to the Portsmouth Cheque in December 1860, where he passed and was promoted to 1st Class Assistant Engineer on 11 January 1861, before being sent to Fisgard for Eclipse in January 1861, and Sheerness for Eclipse in May 1861, achieving his rating as Engineer in the same month. Donald was Commissioned to the Eclipse on 27 September 1862, on the Australian Station, and served in her throughout the Second New Zealand War, passing for Acting Chief Engineer in May 1864. He was on the Sheerness Cheque in February 1867, and was discharged from the service at his own request on 11 April 1867. From the reports of his qualifications and character, it appears that he was highly regarded as an Engineer, a good disciplinarian, but irritable and not with a good temper.
