Cabot, Edmund Quincy, Lucretia Mott, William Lloyd Garrison, Elizabeth Poole, and many others. In his essay entitled “Complaint and Reproach” Richard Hildreth comments “... what wonder that to be reproached with want of ordinary virtue, is that which, of all accusations, men feel the most? (and) Complaints and reproaches are ugly and disagreeable things; as such, they are excluded, by common consent, from polite society. But did polite society and soft speeches ever yet make a revolution?” Some would say the complaints and reproaches of the present day B.D.S. movement are “ugly and disagreeable things” that should be excluded from all polite discussion.

(Miscellany)

(Irish Independence / Robert Emmett) Protest Against the British Government “Let no man writes my epitaph till Ireland is free” A large 24" x 30" broadside (wood engraving) invoking the name of Robert Emmett in the cause of an independent Ireland. “... From the commencement of British power, until the present period, a line of tyrants has established and perpetuated, by their usurpation of unholy power, an aristocracy destructive in every particular of the interests and social happiness of the people of Ireland... The people enslaved without regard to age or sex, under the unnatural compulsion of infamous misrule... and swear by the infallible standard of Justice, that Ireland will never yield her position until the epitaph of Emmett shall be circled within the glorious motto of Virtue, Liberty and Independence.” Published by William Smith, Print Seller, 702 S. 3rd St., Philadelphia, Pa. $300.00 (SOLD)

The lengthy text is surrounded by a Celtic harp, entwined with shamrocks, and at the top of each side of the harp are winged angels with scrolls listing the names of 18 martyr/patriots. At the top center is a portrait of Emmett after the miniature that was hand-painted during his trial for treason in 1803, at the conclusion of which he was hung, beheaded, drawn and quartered. (On the verso is a romanticized rendering of a young woman in Victorian costume with a garland of flowers in her hair)

Fenn, John (comp). (Paston Letters - Robert Southey’s Copy). Original Letters, written during the Reigns of Henry VI, Edward IV, and Richard III, by Various Persons of Rank or Consequence; containing Many Curious Anecdotes, relative to that Turbulent and Bloody, but hitherto Dark Period of Our History; and Elucidating, not only Public Matters of State, but likewise the Private Manners of the Age: Digested in Chronological Order; with Notes, Historical and Explanatory; and Authenticated by Engravings of Autographs, Paper Marks and Seals. In two volumes. London, 1787. 4to. $1000.00

pp. (xc, 1-301; 363). Eighteen plates, three of which are hand-colored. Plate of “Paston Pedigree” in facsimile. Original paper-covered boards with cloth backstrips. Hinges cracked, boards chafed. A few plates show old, faint dampstains, otherwise text and plates are in good condition. The Paston letters and papers, between 1422 and 1509, form an important chronicle of one of the most fascinating periods of English history. The descendants of Clement Paston, a prosperous Norfolk peasant, became prominent as lawyers, land-owners, and eventually members of the nobility, and many of the letters and documents show the family’s connection with the alternating fortunes of the Houses of York and Lancaster. William Paston, 2nd Earl of Yarmouth and without direct heir, sold most of the family papers to the antiquary Peter Le Neve at the beginning of the 18th century. Ultimately they came into the possession of John Fenn of East Dereham who in 1787 published a selection of the letters in two volumes. The resulting public interest was considerable and in 1789 Fenn published an additional two volumes of letters. The fifth volume appeared posthumously in 1823. The signature of Robert Southey, in his characteristically small hand, appears at the top of the title page of volume one. Both volumes were covered, until recent years, by crudely made cloth dust jackets sewn by the women in the Southey household. Because of these dust jackets Southey’s collection was sometimes jokingly referred to as the “Cottonian Library.” The fate of these jackets will be made known to anyone interested.

Patton, Philip. The Natural Defence of an Insular Empire, Earnestly Recommended; with a Sketch of a Plan, to Attach Real Seamen to the Service of Their Country. By.…, Admiral of the White Squadron of His Majesty’s Fleet. Southhampton: Printed by T. Skelton, 22, High Street; Sold by J. Hatchard, Bookseller to Her Majesty, Piccadilly, London; and by Mottley, Harrison, and Miller, Portsmouth, 1810. 4to., pp.[i] - viii, contents page, blank, errata page, blank, (1) - 102. Half leather, pebbled green cloth, red spine label in gilt. A fine copy in an attractive early 19th century style binding, but of a more modern period. Uncommon. $400.00

In the context of the then current Napoleonic threat, Admiral Patton advocates stronger measures to encourage seamen to enlist in the Royal Navy, under the veiled threat of impressment. Citing the recent Portsmouth mutinies of 1797 in response to the activities of the press gangs, Admiral Patton proposes a system requiring the registration of all able-bodied seamen, especially those already serving on private merchant ships, so that in times of national emergency they can be called upon to serve in the Royal Navy. Seamen who fail to register would be subject to immediate impressment. To this stick is added the carrot of preferred medical treatment at the Greenwich Hospital as well as enhanced pensions to all those who comply. In Article II of his proposal Patton states “As all seamen know that they may be impressed, the encouragements held out to them in the navy cannot fail to have a powerful effect.” Also, as he states, “the United States of America have openly avowed the full protection of all deserters from the British navy. In peace as well as in war, they are irrecoverably lost to this country…” there is a hint of impending conflict with America. This document should be of interest to students of Americana, the Napoleonic period and British naval history.
