HAMILTON EMMA (1765-1815) Lady Hamilton. English Mistress of Lord Nelson and wife of Sir William Hamilton. A.L.S., Emma Hamilton, three pages, folio, Caserta, Italy, 19th November 1797, to a Gentleman. Hamilton informs her correspondent, in part, 'I take the liberty of enclosing a letter (no longer present) for Miss Emily Hill… We often think and speak of you all and we are now so comfortably fixed at Caserta you wou'd like I am sure to be with us. I have made a present of the dice box to those more worthy of it than myself… I tell you sincerely it was only a moment of vice that came over me & which was bought on to countenance others whose hearts are really engaged in this most shocking & disgracefull (sic) game & which I feel myself most terribly regraded in my own mind for ever having given to it & I don't doubt but others also must judge me severely for… Sir William feels most happy at my voluntary giving it up & cons(oling) me most kindly when fits of shame & remorse comes over me for my want of prudence. I am sorry for those I have left deeply in it… Prince A. entre nous loses of a night a thousand francs… I study very hard my musick (sic), walk a good deal & now have a reasonable life…' With signs of a former mounting to the verso, otherwise GIt was in Naples that Emma Hamilton’s affair with Nelson flourished, from devoted maid to becoming his mistress. For 18 months Nelson lived in a ménage-à-trois with the Hamiltons, moving them at a time of trouble, along with the King and Queen of Naples to the relative safety of Palermo. It was here in 1798, not long after the present letter was written, that Sir William Hamilton began to be concerned by his wife’s drinking and increasingly indiscreet behaviour. It appeared to him that Emma was always at the gambling table with Nelson seated directly behind her, seemingly egging her on. These profuse habits led her into debt, with the money she would inherit upon the death of her husband and later, of Nelson, only leading to more gambling and extravagance. Hamilton would spend a year in prison for these debts, and upon her release in 1813, escaped her creditors in England for refuge in Calais. She died there in distress if not in want in 1815.
NAPOLEON I: (1769-1821) Emperor of France 1804-14, 1815. An extremely rare L.S., Napoleon, one page, folio, Tuileries Palace, 19th January 1805, to the Archbishop of Autun [François de Fontanges], in French. Napoleon informs his correspondent, in full, 'My Lord the Archbishop of Autun, I send you the episcopal ring (no longer present) that I want you to wear. See in this letter a testimony of my satisfaction for the peace and union restored in your diocese.' With signs of former mounting to the recto. Some age toning and minor age wear. Accompanied by a vintage printed catalogue entry, in French, describing the present letter, above a brief annotation stating, 'Superb letter in which he congratulates the Archbishop on the reestablishment of peace in his dioceses. Documents signed "Napoleon" are much more valuable and scarcer than those signed "Bonaparte"', in the hand of a collector. Neatly trimmed and laid down. G Following the French Revolution the diocese of Autun was without a bishop. When Napoleon came to power he decided that, for the sake of French unity and his own plans, peace had to be arranged with the Papacy. In 1801, under the new Concordat, Pius VII reorganised the episcopal structure of France with Bishop Gabriel-François Moreau subsequently being appointed Bishop of Autun on 20th July 1802, thereafter to be succeeded by Francois de Fontanges, the correspondent in the present letter.

Individually signed at the foot by the eight members of the Privy Council comprising Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Nottingham (1536-1624, English Statesman and Lord High Admiral under Queen Elizabeth I and King James I. Known as Howard of Effingham, he commanded the English forces during the battles against the Spanish Armada and, after Francis Drake, was chiefly responsible for the victory which saved England from invasion by the Spanish. Howard also served as commissioner at the Gunpowder Plot trial in 1605 and at the time of the present document was Lord Steward, 1603-18; signed ‘Nottingham’), Gilbert Talbot, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury (1552-1616, English Peer and Patron of the Arts, Lord High Steward of Ireland 1590-1616; signed ‘Gilb: Shrewsbury’), Edward Somerset, 4th Earl of Worcester (c.1550-1628, English Aristocrat and an important adviser to King James I.

Caesar’). An interesting document featuring a fine grouping of signatures. Some light overall age wear and foxing, small tears and some staining to the edges, only very slightly affecting the text at the head and one stain touching the signature of Knollys. G John Reynolds (d.1607) Captain Pouch. English Tinker and Protestor, the charismatic leader of the Midland Revolt of 1607. The mystical, uneducated Reynolds earned his alias due to the leather pouch he carried with him, claiming that its contents were a special substance giving him and his followers the protection of God and the Crown. Reynolds had been arrested and held in custody, as the present document testifies, before the Revolt had been completely supressed. Later hanged, drawn and quartered, after Reynold’s death it was revealed that his pouch contained nothing more than a lump of locally made green cheese.
