ROSTAND EDMOND: (1868-1918) French Poet. An attractive and unusual autograph manuscript, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d., in French. The manuscript is entitled `Dickens´, Rostand stating in part `He is a marvelous genius… he must be crowned.. He must be placed between Andersen and Tolstoy…. In his fantasies, it seems that Falstaff is aureoled with tenderness, like a plum pudding with a bluer flame. And in the midst of the warm intimacy of rooms where, thanks to him, the selfish kettle sings like a poet, he causes the wind which speaks of tragic misery to blow beneath the hard doors. He has spoken about the child's tears, and the eyes of death… Yes, between Andersen and Tolstoy. He is not Father Christmas, because in his sack he has something better than toys: the most beautiful stories, many dreams, and all goodness..´ Double cloth matted in green and red to an overall of 12.5 x 15. One vertical fold with text slightly light. G

[MOROCCO]: MATRA JAMES: (1746-1806) American Sailor and Diplomat who had accompanied James Cook on his voyage to Botany Bay in 1770. Matra served as His Majesty's Consul General at Tangier from 1786-1806. Manuscript draft of an A.L., unsigned, five pages, folio, Bay of Gibraltar, 3rd February 1789, to a Secretary of State. Matra explains that, due to the severe weather conditions of the season, he was unable to attend a meeting with the Emperor of Morocco until the 26th December and, on the morning of that day, received a message via the Foreign Secretary from the Emperor to be read in the presence of all the consuls, continuing, in part, 'No changes, no revolutions ought to surprise a man who is conversant with this country…..notwithstanding this capacious language I was determined to proceed to Mequinez: I knew that if the real causes of the inconsistent message were possible to be learned I could only discover them there. Whatever information I met with on the road was extremely discouraging. It was likewise my opinion that in the present unhappy situation of the British court His Majesty's ministers would wish to avoid an immediate rupture with the Emperor of Morocco…..When I arrived at Mequinez the place appointed for my reception was inconvenient and wretched…..Soon after my arrival at Mequinez I found that a courier from Spain had brought to the Emperor the melancholy intelligence of our Sovereign's Indisposition: and that we were to expect the most hostile measures from the Moorish court from the supposition that we could not, in our present situation, resent them as they might deserve. I was also informed of a letter on our publick and great misfortune….which had been sent from the Emperor to the French King…..It's two first paragraphs requested the French to conduct the two Frigates to Constantinople which the English had constantly refused to convey thither; and desired to know, if he went to war with us, whether his enemies would be permitted to sell their prizes in the French ports. I likewise found that the Court of Mequinez was acquainted with the bad success of our negotiation with Algiers…..I heard that he [the Emperor] had received a supply of what he most needed, 800 Barrels of Gun Powder…..he daily expected a 1000 more, which were procured by a merchant at Gibraltar…..It was my business to gain time: I got a letter conveyed to the favourite Empress and I tried every avenue to an improvement……the Minister, however, advised me to procrastinate as long as possible my interview with the Emperor and to be content for the present with his general impressions of friendship, if I was fortunate enough to procure even them……By the intervention of a faithful female messenger I, at length, prevailed with Lella Dowya, the Empress, to efface prejudicial impressions from the mind of the Emperour, and to represent to him the situation of our Government in an advantageous Light. As I chose to give her influence a little time to operate, in my Conference with the ministers, I plainly told them that I could not with Decency make that object a matter of negociation which had been peremptorily rejected by my Sovereign, and that I wished to defer a more explicit unfolding of my sentiments, till I was honoured with an audience by the Emperour. This mighty object I obtained on the 6th January……By plying him [the Emperor] opportunely with much adulation, and some invention…..I flattered myself that I had softened, and half conciliated him……The audience closed with a very auspicious appearance; the Emperour ordered me to attend on the next day when Talo Hooderani…..would acquaint me with his demands……It was…..proposed to me that I should……be the receiver of his I. Majesty's Dutie at Tetuan and Tangier and that I should invest the produce in Gun Powder. A negative to this offer surely demanded a little hesitation…..I at length agreed that I should dispatch a letter from the Emperour to His Britanick Majesty from Gibraltar with my own hand. One day, as I was crossing the Garden, I was called to a private audience. The Emperour, in consequence of the influence of his favourite wife, behaved to me on this occasion with great kindness and warmly promised me every instance of his friendship…..It was evident, from his conversation, that he expected a more liberal acknowledgement for the seamen whom he had restored to us in the last summer. He expressed a wish for some tea, in the boxes, as it immediately comes from China, and for some sweet meats - with both these articles I have engaged to oblige him. His avarice, and his love of toys, prompted him to observe to me, that I was the only Englishman, in my situation, who had never presented him with a watch, though it was well known that he very much liked such specimens of ingenuity. I was so closely pressed that I could not avoid promising him one. After several meetings on this subject, his I.M. chose a machine…..It will cost far less than the watch that we must have sent him if he had directly chosen a watch. The remaining conversation closed agreeably:- he promised me…..such a restoration of our Treaty as would give me perfect satisfaction……I expressed my strong dislike of a part of the…..style of his letter to his Majesty to which I procured some degree of softening; but he who is delicate with regard to decorum will never do any thing important in this country…..I was inflexibly determined not to receive my papers under the despicable sanction of the imperial seal. This seal……is shamefully prohibited:- for 50 Dollars he will affix it to anything. I insisted on the signature of the Emperour's own hand, which, with much difficulty…..I obtained. A letter was at length given to me from the Emperour to my Sovereign, adjusted with at least some improvement in point of propriety. It was signed by the Emperour and…..I believe it contains the only apology that the Emperour of Morocco ever made? Having settled all my business as effectually and expeditiously as unfortunate circumstances and absurd people would permit, I left Mequinez on the 13th of January…..Permit me to assure your Lordship, in justice to myself, and without exaggeration, that we are now extricated from difficulties in our connexion with the Emperour of Morocco, with more national advantage and credit than are commonly obtained, in delicate emergencies, by the other states of Europe…..' A letter of fascinating content providing a first hand account of the intrigues and influences of the court of Morocco. Some light overall age wear and a few small tears and minor areas of paper loss to the edges of some folds, G
