Military – Afghan Wars – Lt Col Dennie fine ms document being a long list of charges brought against Lt Col William Dennie of 13th Light Infantry at Agra by the order of Maj Gen James Watson Commander in Chief India. A total of 28 charges written in a neat secretarial hand on 13pp folio. A remarkably long list of charges against a senior officer. Dennie is charged with deserting his men bullying falsifying muster rolls using offensive language etc. Clearly Dennie was one of those heroes who didn’t suffer fools gladly and followed his own military agendas. But a hero Dennie certainly was as he later played an important role in the storming of Kabul at the start of the first Afghan War his account of the campaign was published in 1843. A remarkable and intriguing document which reveals considerable information on the British army at this time.

Political Substance of the Speeches made in the House of Commons on Wednesday the 15th of December 1779 on Mr Burke’s giving notice of intention to bring in a Bill after the Christmas recess for the Retrenchment of Public Expences and for the better securing the Independence of Parliament. London : J Almon 1779. 17pp plus title 8vo Stitched untrimmed partly uncut. The “Substance” was evidently conveyed to Almon by Burke himself who asserts his thesis that “The fatal and overgrown influence of the Crown” has caused “the whole of all of our grievances.” He speaks out against corrupt negligent self-serving power-hungry Ministers: “the same men in the same power sitting undisturbed before you though thirteen colonies have been lost.” Supporting Burke Dempster responds “that the influence of the Crown is the true cause of the mischievous origin the destructive progress the absurd conduct and the obstinate prosecution without view or hope of this cursed American war... If it continues and goes on as it has done I vow to God I do not think his Majesty will sit securely on his throne.” FIRST EDITION. Todd 31. 85 NUC 0972614 [1]. Not in Sabin or Adams J Almon

Autograph – exploration – polar – Frederick A Cook explorer and claimant to the North Pole autograph manuscript (unsigned) in his hand entitled ‘The Walk indicates character’ written in pencil on a single leaf of American quarto paper spilt across a fold (easily repaired in our estimation). Rare. Together with a German issue satirical postcard lampooning the claims of both Cook and Peary to having reached the North Pole first – the postcard shows a German party reaching the North Pole by Zeppelin while Cook and Peary fight it out on the ice watched by a walrus and polar bear. Cook an American explorer and physician claimed to have reached the North Pole on April 21st 1908 a year before a similar claim by Robert Peary. Cook had also claimed in 1906 to have reached the summit of Mt McKinley – which was denounced as fraudulent by Peary. When Cook claimed the North Pole in 1908 his claim was immediately discredited by Peary – but Peary’s own claim has long been disputed.

Napoleon – ephemera three rare broadsides issued in 1804 at a time when this country was under real threat of invasion by Napoleon. All in near mint condition they include notice of a General Meeting of the Lieutenancy of the East Riding of Yorkshire to take the necessary steps for the general defence and security of the realm; a copy of the address and prayer at the height of the crisis and a copy of the articles of enrolment for the Grimston Yeomany Cavalry East Yorkshire set up to act as the last line of defence against the threat of invasion. By 1804 Britain lay open to the real threat of invasion by Napoleon. As in 1940 the country’s defences were poor to say the least and hurried measures were drawn up to protect the country. In the first broadside contingency measures are announced for the mass evacuation of the coast: ‘...that as many wagons as are necessary and not et apart for military purposes be provided in each division of Holderness for the purpose of removing sick and infirm persons and others not capable of removing themselves and that all such wagons shall take a north direction for the bridge at Frodingham...that the clerk of the general meetings do apply immediately for and procure rockets for the use of the riding at the rate of twelve for each Beacon ...’
