Napoleon fine long letter by Alexander Kinghorne writing from his home in Kippilaw Mains Roxburghshire Scottish Borders to a friend in London dated January 17th 1804 reporting on the fears of the local population about the real threat of invasion by Napoleon : ‘...no news in this Country except volunteering. I have been twice marked as a leader of the pikemen but have luckily got off – I would willingly take a musket or broadsword but a pike I hate. In case of an invasion I have offered to serve as a guide which I think I could well do as I know almost all the roads and fords in this and the two adjoining counties...’ Elsewhere in the letter Kinghorne refers to the area having suffered a hurricane and describes in some detail the damage done to the area. 2p folio. The year 1804 was crucial. There was a general panic throughout the country about a real threat of invasion by Napoleon – possibly through Scotland or from Catholic Ireland. Considerable efforts were made to muster militias to repel the threat. It is no wonder why Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar was greeted with such widespread acclaim.
Crime and Punishment – the George Parkman murder case ‘Report of the case of John W Webster... indicted for the murder of George Parkman...’ Boston Charles C Little and James Brown 1850.

The inside cover bears an autograph dedication signed by Pliny Merrick who was one of the defending counsel in the case who rose to be a Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. The Parkman case is still controversial today mainly because it involved two leading Professors at Harvard Medical School and for the fact that it was the first to be decided on dental evidence. It has long been suggested that Webster who was hanged for the murder was in fact innocent.
India – Amritsar Massacre 1919 Official British Government Report on the ‘Punjab Disturbances’ dated April 1919 unbound 67pp folio in good condition. The ‘Punjab Disturbances’ have become known today as the Amritsar Massacre in which a force of 50 British India Soldiers under Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer began shooting at an unarmed gathering of men women and children without warning. Dyer ordered his men to shoot to kill and although there were conflicting reports on casualties it is now recognised that there were more than 1500 with roughly 1000 killed. In this official report the affair is given one paragraph : ‘...a meeting began assembling at the Bagh Jallewalian and this large crowd only dispersed on being fired on by troops the casualties being considerable.’ The events of that day have caused much heartache ever since. Sir Michael O’Dwyer the Lt Governor of the Punjab at the time who was believed to be the main planner behind the massacre was assassinated in 1940 in London and even as late as 1997 Prince Philip caused outrage in the Punjab when he made a remark on the incident based on information he had personally received from Dyer’s son.
India important ms document being a 14pp folio memorandum compiled by Sir John Login – the Maharajah Duleep Singh’s guardian with the note ‘Statement Proposed by Sir John Login & Maharajah Duleep Singh – Correspondence from 1856-1862’ An extensively handwritten report tied with green ribbon marked ‘Private’ detailing letters to the Court of Directors regarding the settlement of the Maharajah on the coming of age. Memo includes copies of the Maharajah and Sir John’s letters to the Government. A highly important document in the history of British India. It notes that the Maharajah was informed in 1859 that he was to receive a personal allowance of £25000 per year as soon as he came of age (this is equivalent to £1.1million in today’s money). In addition he was to be given an estate in England worth £105000 (£4.5million in today’s money). The document includes various letters discussing the matter and exposing the nature of British Indian diplomacy.
