* Madness of King George III. Autograph letter initialled from John Blackburne MP, London, 20 November 1788, to his wife, writing of Pitt's views and fears for the King, '... [Mr Pitt] took me home and in the Cage gave me the following information - That for 2 days he had expected the King to die, that he knew nothing of any symptoms of Insanity prior to the illness, that he looked upon this to be the effect of his Complaint and that tho' no one could say he would recover, there had been instances and it was by no means a lost case. That what was to be done this day, unless opposed by opposition would be an adjournment for a fortnight and a Cab[inet] of the H[ou]se peremptorily fixed for this day - but he should not wonder if something was said. Fox is not yet returned - so you see I am more at a loss what to do... ', with a postscript saying that he is dining at White's that day and 'Pitt said that the cab[inet] would be peremptory and the utmost would be a few days allowed for Defaulters', 3 pages, together with a second initialled and undated letter from Blackburne to his wife, telling of Pitt the Younger and his cronies celebrating a triumph in the House of Commons and of the merrymaking at White's Club that then followed, 'At a side table was Pitt, Rose, Hamilton, Apsley, Addington and me. We were all too elated to obey the severe dictates of sober reason. J. Brooke was at the top of the long table with Steele's happy vivacity. J.B. in his good humour, Grosvenor drily seconded him. Muncaster and Dundas let nothing pass unnoticed. Nobody stirred til 10 when about 8 were left who sat with Pitt til [?]qtr 12 at night and got indeed compleatly done over. Pitt was in noble spirits... ', 4 pp., a little browning on external folds, plus a third autograph letter signed from Blackburne to his son Ireland, 22 July 1830, 'The King [William IV] keeps every body alive and is in employed all morning behind the Horse Gds in the Park ... I hear nothing now except the Cavalry have got the Mustaches shaved and look more like women - He told them if they did not get them shaved he would do it himself. Nothing new... ', one page with integral address panel, slightly browned, all 4toQty: (3)NOTESJohn Blackburne MP (1754-1837) of Hale Hall, Liverpool, and Orford Hall, Warrington, was a Pitt supporter. In late October 1788, King George III descended into a bout of mental illness. He had declared that Pitt was 'a rascal' and Fox 'his friend'.

Ltd, [1951]Qty: (-)NOTESProvenance: By direct descent to the present owner. Wyatt Larken was the son of Admiral Sir Frank Larken (1875-1953). As a young midshipman he cruised the Mediterranean in the Valiant, the Malaya and subsequently the Queen Elizabeth, these logs recording frequent visits to Cyprus and Malta as well as the station’s more unusual reaches. In April 1930 he joined the Hawkins-class cruiser Effingham for its East African cruise, visiting Ceylon and Mauritius before coasting Tanzania and spending a week at Zanzibar, then returning to Ceylon via Mombasa, the Seychelles and Addu Atoll in the Maldives. From 21 October 1930 to 19 January 1931 the Effingham undertook a cruise of the Persian Gulf, visiting Muscat, Sohar, Sur, Khasab and Khor al-Jarama in modern Oman, and Dubai and the island of Sir Abu Nu'ayr in what is now the United Arab Emirates. Wyatt’s log for this section occupies some 100 pages, and his entry for 17 December 1931 is especially noteworthy: 'Proceeded for Dabai on the Trucial coast ... at 1020 the Trucial sheikhs and their followers numbering all some 200 came onboard ... A torpedo was fired - also a full charge round from a gun. This they watched from the bridge ... They brought us gifts of beef and melon jelly ... and they were sent away with Gold Flake cigarettes and chocolate ... The chief ones wore splendid "bournous" of gold work cloth. All were fine upstanding men'. After leaving the Gulf the Effingham embarked on a Burma Cruise which included a visit to the Andaman Islands. The charts and plans include: Salamis Bay; the Brijuni Islands (modern Croatia); Fiume (modern Rijeka, Croatia); the Dardanelles; Istanbul; the Gulf of Aden; the Port of Colombo; Trincomalee; Port Louis (Mauritius); Mafia Island and the Rufiji Delta (modern Tanzania); an exercise near the Suvadiva Atoll (Maldives); ‘Area cover’d by Interests of Anglo-Persian Oil Co’; the Shatt al-Arab; the Andaman Islands; the Royal Navy camp at Diyatawala; and several route charts. Promoted lieutenant in 1933, commander in 1944 and captain in 1950, Larken saw Second World War service on seven different vessels and shore establishments, and during the Korean War commanded the aircraft carrier Theseus (mentioned in despatches) and the minelayer Apollo. From 1952 until his retirement in 1955 he was deputy director of naval ordnance.

Original silver bromide print portrait photograph of Larken by Walter Stone, [1934], faded, in folding case (poor condition) with similar portrait opposite (probably his wife)Qty: (10)NOTESProvenance: By direct descent to the present owner. Admiral Sir Frank Larken KCB CMG (1875-1953) entered the Royal Navy in 1889. On the declaration of war in August 1914 he took command of light cruiser HMS Doris in the eastern Mediterranean, with instructions to launch amphibious raids on Turkish positions along the Syrian coast. His demolition of the railway at Alexandretta in December 1918 forced the Turks into negotiations by which they agreed to destroy their own railway engines and stores, under British supervision, a somewhat farcical event which was key to Churchill's appraisal of Turkish military capability and his decision to launch the Gallipoli campaign, during which the Doris provided support for the Anzac landings. Larken later commanded battleship HMS Valiant (1922-4), was promoted rear-admiral in 1924, vice-admiral in 1929, and admiral in 1933.
