Historical DocumentsSir Benjamin Pine1859 (28 November) duplicate contract of marriage between Sir Benjamin Pine Knight, Lieutenant Governor of the Islands of St. Christopher and Anguilla and Marguretta Anna Simpson. A long and elaborate, thirteen page document. With Scotland Crown datestamps, 5/- embossed revenue and embossed duplicate stamp. Unusual Sir Benjamin Chilley Campbell Pine (1809–1891)In 1848 he acted temporarily as governor of Sierra Leone, and displayed much military capacity. He was present at the expedition to the Sherbro River, and helped to destroy a strong stockaded fort, whence the natives had harried the neighbourhood. In the following year his vigorous policy put an end to the civil war in the same district.This success led to his appointment in 1849 as second governor of the infant colony of Natal. During the Kaffir war in the south-west he preserved peace within his territory, and received the thanks of the home government. In 1855 he led a force of volunteers against the Amabacas and enforced their submission. In 1856 Pine returned to the west coast as governor of the Gold Coast Colony, and was knighted. In May 1859 he went to the less trying climate of St. Christopher, West Indies, as lieutenant governor.At that time each of the Leeward Islands, of which St. Christopher's formed part, was governed practically as a separate colony in a loose confederation, with a governor-in-chief at Antigua. Pine recommended that the government should be made federal, with a central authority at Antigua. In 1866 he was temporarily acting as governor of Antigua, and helped to persuade the legislature to reform the constitution. He did the same in his own island of St. Christopher. The home government adopted his views, and in February 1869 he was appointed governor-in-chief of the Leeward Isles, with a mandate to carry out his scheme. On 23 June 1870, in an exhaustive address, he laid his project before the council of Antigua, and in the course of the year carried it in all the islands. He was thus the first governor under the federal constitution of the Leeward Islands. He was made a K.C.M.G. in June 1871 for his services. In 1873, before he had finished his term as governor-in-chief at Antigua, he was sent back to his old colony of Natal. He retired on a pension in 1875.He was twice married: first, in 1841, to Elizabeth, daughter of John Campbell, who died in 1847; secondly, in 1859, to Margaretta Anne, daughter of Colonel John Simpson of the Bengal army.

Stoker, H M (Director of Census and Statistics) Union Statistics for Fifty Years (English and Afrikaans). Jubilee Issue 1910-1960 275 x 215 The linen-grained red card covers, printed in black front and back, have begun curling at the edges but are nevertheless in a more than presentable condition. Apart from an ownership stamp, the contents are unmarked and unfoxed, but sunned towards the page edges. Mr Stoker [who was also the author of the country`s Official Yearbook 30 for 1960] comments in his preface that this publication `presents a statistical resume of the Union`s growth and development over the past half-century. It fulfills a long-felt need for a readily available summary of statistical information contained in one volume, and the Union Festival, 1960, was considered to be the appropriate occasion to issue a publication of this nature`. After thanking the many departments concerned, Stoker unusually, and graciously, thanks the Government Printer `for his highly esteemed and positive co-operation`. This publication`s value was unexpectedly enhanced by the fact that it effectively covers the whole life of the `Union of South Africa`, as the next year, 1961, ushered in three dramatic changes within a very short period - the transition to a republican constitution, the decimalisation of the currency and the metrication of weights and measures.

Andersson (C.J.) NOTES ON THE BIRDS OF DAMARA LAND 8vo (230 x 145 mm) And the adjacent territories of South-West Africa. Arranged and edited by John Henry Gurney, with some additional notes by the editor, and an introductory chapter containing a sketch of the author`s life. 394 pages, map as frontispiece, 4 lithographic plates, original blue cloth gilt. Staining at the in the top margin of the 4 plates, bookplate on the front paste-down endpaper and a corresponding small stamp below the date on the title page, overall a very good copy. `On returning from an expedition to the Victoria Falls with James Chapman, in 1862, Thomas Baines stayed at the home of Charles John Andersson at Otjimbingwe, South-West Africa. Andersson was contemplating writing a bird book to be called `Avi-fauna of South-West Africa` and invited Baines to assist in illustrating the proposed work. Baines accepted the commission and remained with Andersson from August 1863 to October 1864, painting from the many sketches he had made and from bird-skins collected on his recent expedition. Andersson died before he could complete his magnum-opus on the birdlife of South-West Africa and it was only some years later that his notes were edited and published posthumously by the celebrated British ornithologist, John Henry Gurney. Baines` illustrations were not included in the new work no doubt due the high cost of reproducing the many coloured and tinted plates. It was estimated that more than £4000 would be required - a considerable sum at that time.` R.F. Kennedy in the preface to `The Birds of South Africa` painted by Thomas Baines.

Contemporary quarter brown leather with a red title label on the spine, and brown paper sides, bookplate on the front paste-down endpaper and a corresponding small stamp on the manuscript title page. The maps are in excellent condition. The atlas is not dated but the general map is possibly a copy of the map in Barrow’s Travels (1801-1804) or Bouchenroeder’s Reize in de Binnenland van Zuid-Afrika,1803 (1806). Boonzajer mentions Colonel Gordon’s discovery of the Orange River. Worcester, which was established in 1819, does not appear. Although he has apparently used official survey maps of the time some of the notes do appear to be from actual observation. The maps include extensive notes on game, “De witte Rhinoceros, Springbokken, Hartebeesten en Elanden worden hier veel gevonden.” Also mentioned are vegetation, geology, rock art and farming.

Volume XIV. The Victorian Age, Part Two. `...but the piece, perhaps, which more than any other marks this pious Scottish farmer`s son for a real literary artist, the brother at once of Burns and Scott and Livingstone, is The Bechuana Boy. This touching and beautiful piece, part fact, part fiction, truth arranged with art, was based on the story of a Bechuana orphan boy, who had been carried off from his native country by the mountain tribes, half-bred Hottentots, and who fell under Pringle`s protection. The touch of the pet springbok was suggested to Pringle by his seeing, a few days afterwards, a slave child playing with a fawn at a farmer`s residence. The real little African boy brought by Pringle and his wife to England became their devoted protégé and almost adopted child, but died, like many at that time, of an affection of the lungs.` Good London Edward Moxon 1834 Click here to view further details and to bid
