"The Nugent Manuscript Archive"Including Letters on 1798 Rebellion in Co. CorkCo's Westmeath and Cork: [Nugent Manuscript] A very important Archive of Documents, Bonds, Judgements, Rentals, Leases, Conveyances, Receipts, Accounts, Letters, Printed Broadsides and Sranks, relating to the Nugent Estate of Clonlost, Killucan, County Westmeath and the Barony of Orrery and Kilmore in County Cork dating from 1654 to 1846. With a large collection of letters on the 1798 Rebellion addressed from Major General Sir John Moore, Sir Hugh O'Reilly and others to Major Nugent of the Westmeath Militia in Skibbereen, County Cork. All the documents arranged in chronological order in a Collins No. 702 album. Folio. Bound in papered boards. Some documents have been professionally restored. Titled in gilt on spine 'Nugent MS'. All in very good to fine condition. The Archive consists of numerous documents from the mid-17th Century to the mid-19th Century, the earliest dated 2nd September 1654. In all, there are fifteen documents from the 17th Century. There are eleven documents from the 18th Century, in addition seventeen items relating to the 1798 Rebellion. These include important letters (five) from the Lieutenant General Sir John Moore to Major Nugent, Westmeath Militia, Officer Commanding Skibbereen. The Battle of the Big Cross was an engagement in the Irish Rebellion fought between the United Irishmen and a column of British Troops. It was fought at a site about four miles east of Clonakility, in West Cork and it was the only battle fought in the Rebellion in Cork or indeed the whole of Munster. After the attempted landing of the French fleet at Bantry Bay in 1796 the British Establishment was shaken to its core. In response, troops were garrisoned all over West Cork, and in early 1798 Sir John Moore (Moore of Corunna) was given command of 3000 British Troops in that area. In addition a detachment of Westmeath militia was stationed in Clonakility, under Lieutenant Colonel Sir Hugh O'Reilly. This section is particularly interesting throwing new light on the '98 Rebellion. The archive concludes with thirty one items from the 19th Century, plus approximately 130 Free Frank Fronts of Irish and English Peers. As a m/ss., w.a.f. \The family of Nugent is descended from the Norman family of Nogent de Rotrou, a scion of the illustrious House of Bellesme, in Normandy. Two brothers of that family, Gilbert and Hugh de Nugent, accompanied William the Conqueror and fought with him at the Battle of Hastings. In 1172 during the reign of Henry II, Sir Gilbert de Nugent, with his brothers Adam, Richard, Christopher and John, came in the expedition to Ireland in the army of Sir Hugh de Lacy. Large tracts of lands in the County of Meath were granted by the king to Sir Hugh de Lacy, to hold of the Crown by Knight's service. De Lacy in appreciation of his brave and signal services gave to Sir Gilbert his sister Rosa in marriage, and, as a portion with her the Barony of Delvin to him and his heirs with all the appurtenances and towns (except the village of Torrochelack, belonging to the Abbot of Foure).The Nugent family of Clonlost were descended from the 3rd Baron Delvin of Donore. According to one of the letters i this collection. Thomas Nugent, Esq., of Clonlost erected a monument in the old church of Clonlost for the internment of himself, and Ismay Nugent, his wife, daughter of Theobald Nugent, Esq., of Newhaggard, County Meath, and for the said Thomas Nugent's family. Thomas succeeded at Clonlost on the death of his brother Andrew. He was a Captain in the army, and received a grant from Charles II, in 1683, of Newbridge or Clonlost, with other lands in Westmeath, which were created into the manor of Newbridge. Thomas, James, Andrew and Walter Nugent of the Clonlost branch of that family all feature in the early documents in this unique and important Archive.·A Full Catalogue of the Papers is available.

Lowest Point in the History of The British Monarchy, 1820A printed volume with title on spine Queen's Trial No. 1 to 15, Folio, approx. 483pp, orig. boards, joints cracked.Contains verbatim reports of the first fifteen days (19 August to 7 September 1820) of the reading before the House of Lords of the "Pains and Penalty Bill". This had been introduced at the behest of King George IV and sought to deprive his estranged wife, Caroline of Brunswick, of the title of Queen and to dissolve their marriage. Witnesses were called who gave accounts of the Queen's intimate couplings with low-born Italians during her exile.The trial caused enormous public interest; was the subject of a famous painting by Sir George Hayter, some lewd cartoons, and much ribald comment. George (himself no saint) had recently become king and was extremely unpopular; the Queen's cause was taken up by radical politicians and was championed by the ordinary people. The bill was passed by a narrow majority but the government wisely withdrew it. The Queen's victory was celebrated with exuberance. However, The King spitefully barred her from attending his coronation the following July, and she died three weeks later.This sensational event marked the lowest point in the history of the British monarchy. As Queen Caroline remarked, "A government cannot stop the march of intellect any more than they can arrest the motion of the tides or the course of the planets."

The Greatest Irish Coloured Plate BookOriginal Coloured CopyMalton (James) A Picturesque and Descriptive View of the City of Dublin Described. In a series of the most Interesting Scenes taken in the year 1791. By James Malton. With a brief authentic history from the earliest accounts to the present time. Engraved titlepage and dedication, Arms of Dublin, A Correct Survey of Dublin as it stood in the year 1610, A Correct Survey of the Bay of Dublin 1795, A Folding Map of the City of Dublin (not present in most copies) and twenty-five plates of views in original colour. London: 1803. Oblong folio. pp. ii, 18, [48], 25 (plates), 3 (maps), 3. Original grey papered boards, spine in later quarter morocco, title printed on original large paper label on upper cover. A very good set of this exceedingly rare topographical work in original colour. James Malton (d.1803) architectural draughtsman, came to Ireland with his father, Thomas Malton, senior, and was for nearly three years, during the building of the Custom House, employed as a draughtsman in the office of James Gandon, the architect, but for breaches of confidence and many irregularities he was dismissed. The first mention of his name as an artist occurs in 1790, when he sent, from Dublin, two drawings to the Society of Artists in London. In 1791 he completed a series of drawings of Dublin buildings, from which the well-known set of views were engraved. Twenty-five were reproduced in etching and aquatint, done by Malton himself, and their publication began in 1792. The preface says: "The entire of the views were taken in 1791 by the author, who, being experienced in the drawing of architecture and perspective, has delineated every object with the utmost accuracy; the dimensions, too, of the structures described were taken by him from the originals, and may be depended upon for their correctness." Though all the views were taken in the year 1791, yet, as the work was in hand till the year 1797, such alterations as occurred in each subject between the taking and publishing of any view of it have been attended to; to the end that it might be as perfect a semblance as possible of the original at the time of the completion of the work.The volume has an engraved title-page, an engraved dedication, dated at London, 1st June, 1794, "to the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Common Council, Freemen and Citizens of Dublin." The work begins with a preface, followed by a brief history of Dublin, and an article "On the Castle Walls and Increase of the City." The plates are as follows: Great Courtyard, Dublin Castle; The Parliament House; Trinity College; College Library; Provost's House; St. Patrick's Cathedral; West Front of St. Patrick's Cathedral; Royal Exchange; Custom House; View of the Law Courts, looking up the Liffey; Tholsel; Old Soldiers Hospital, Kilmainham; Royal Infirmary, Phoenix Park; Blue Coat Hospital; Lying-in Hospital; Rotunda New Rooms; St. Catharine's Church; Marine School; Leinster House; Charlemont House; Powerscourt House; View of Capel Street, looking over Essex Bridge; St. Stephen's Green; Barracks; View of Dublin from the Magazine, Phoenix Park. Dedicated to the Governors and Directors of the Hospital, including the College Library, dedicated to Edmund Burke. Besides the above twenty-five views the bound volume contains the Arms of Dublin, as frontispiece; Survey of the City of Dublin as it stood in 1610, taken from Speed's Map; Survey of the Bay of Dublin, 1795, and a folding map of Dublin that does not appear in this or most copies. At the end of the volume is a plate with two outline Keys - one of the smaller View of Dublin from the Park, the other of the smaller view of the Barracks. All the plates are inscribed James Malton del. et fecit. He published them himself; in some his name is joined with George Cowen of Grafton Street, Dublin. Malton's views are the most important series of engravings of Dublin. Most of the principal buildings are represented, and groups of figures and little scenes of the daily life of the people add a charm and variety, the whole forming a valuable pictorial record of old Dublin at the close of the eighteenth century.
