See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 4pp, 12mo. On bifolium. A thin strip (no more than 1 cm deep) has been cut away at the head of the first leaf, with no loss of text, otherwise in good condition. Folded once. Written a few months after Wallace's return from his duties as Private Secretary to the future King George V on his world…tour on HMS Ophir, and during the Second Boer War. Wallace has just been struck by the thought that 'though I returned the Volume on South Africa to the address in Victoria Street' he forgot to give her his opinion of it. 'The author is evidently Dutch in nationality and sentiment. (I mean, of course, Dutch in the South African sense of the term) and he is very proud of the exploits of his countrymen in their struggles with the blacks.' As an example of the author's attempt at impartiality, Wallace gives his account of 'the incident which gave rise to the celebration of "Dingan's Day". About recent events also he tries to be impartial and he is very reticent as to burning questions. See particularly his account of the Jameson raid.' Nevertheless, on reading a great part of the volume, Wallace was in no doubt where the author's 'innermost sympathies tended. His state of mind is I should think very much that of the Cape Dutch under the peach-trees, as graphically described in an article published in the Times last Tuesday.' Wallace's conclusion is that the volume is 'not well fitted for stimulating the Imperial British sentiment in children or young people, but it may be read with advantage by open-minded people of a less tender age'.

Contact seller5-star sellerPhiladelphia, October 14, 1841. A Soon-to-be-Distinguished Ohioan Launches His Law Practice [Manuscript]. [King, Rufus (1817-1891)]. King, T[homas] W[orthington] [1820-1851]. [Autograph Letter, Signed, to Rufus King on Proof Copy of a Circular for Rufus King's Law Practice, Philadelphia, October 14, 1841]. 4 pp. 11-1/2" x 9" (29….2 x 22.9 cm) bifolium circular, integral address leaf with postmarks and residue from wax seal. Moderate toning, negligible light soiling, horizontal and vertical fold lines, minor chips and tears to fore-edges. $500. * Born and raised in Chillicothe, Ohio, Rufus and Thomas Worthington King were the grandsons of American founder Rufus King of New York [1755-1827] and Ohio senator and governor Thomas Worthington [1773-1827]. Both had distinguished careers. Thomas was involved in the China trade and wrote a notable travel diary; Rufus was a lawyer, president of the University of Cincinnati, dean of the Cincinnati Law School and author of a history of Ohio. The circular is a proof copy advertising Rufus's recently established practice. (He studied at Harvard Law School and was admitted to the Ohio Bar in March 1841.) Thomas, then based in New York, oversaw its production. The first part of the appended letter discusses its final text, print run and distribution. Added in manuscript to its list of references, all leading lawyers and judges such as Joseph Story, is William B. Reed of Philadelphia, a lawyer, politician, diplomat and man of letters. Thomas probably received this endorsement of Rufus from Reed while in Philadelphia, where he mailed the circular to his brother. The rest of the letter discusses family matters and recent personal events. Philadelphia, October 14, 1841 (illustrator).

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Warm even toning. Size 24.25 x 18.25 Inches. This is Henry Innes' aquatint 'genealogical tree' of British naval commanders, engraved by James Egan and published by J. W. Laird in 1841. The tree charts the growth and professionalization of the Royal Navy, along with the many victories by which it established itself as…the preeminent power upon the world's seas. A Closer Look The tree, the main subject of the view, sits before a coastal village and castle, with a contemporary warship anchored at right, likely a Caledonia class warship, one of the most advanced British warships built before the adoption of steam power and screw propulsion. The tree roots, trunk, and branches contain the names of renowned British naval officers with the dates and locations of their hallmark victories in chronological order from bottom to top. Many familiar names appear, such as Sir Francis Drake (c. 1540 - 1596), Sir Walter Raleigh (c. 1553 - 1618), and Horatio Nelson (1758 - 1805), the most celebrated of all British naval commanders. A special place is reserved for Charles Howard, Baron of Effingham (1536 - 1624), who masterminded the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, at the base of the trunk. Many of the names forming the roots of the tree date to the Elizabethan era (1558 - 1603). A standing royal navy had been formed by her father, Henry VII (r. 1509 - 1547), in 1546, but it reached fruition through the battles with Spain fought during Elizabeth I's rule. Known for its employment of privateers/pirates, the navy at this time included many colorful characters. Sir John Hawkins (1532 - 1595), at left, was a privateer and later Vice-Admiral in the repulse of the Spanish Armada, but was also an early English participant in and promoter of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Sir Horatio Palavicino (c. 1540 - 1600) was an Italian-born trader who was appointed by Queen Mary (r. 1553 - 1558) as the collector of Papal taxes in England, until Mary died, and Palavicino renounced Catholicism, kept the taxes for himself, and began lending money at interest to the royal houses of Europe, none more so than the English monarchy, becoming fabulously wealthy and influential in the process. The most recent battle marked on the tree is the victory of Sir Edward Codrington (1770 - 1851) over the Ottoman navy at the Battle of Navarino (October 20, 1827) during the Greek War of Independence. No mention is made of the Opium War, underway when the print was published, perhaps due to the delay in information reaching Britain or due to the ambiguities of the conflict (both moral ambiguity - the war was controversial in Britain - and the complex intermingling of East India Company and British regular military forces). Aquatint Etching Aquatint is a printmaking technique used to create tonal effects in etchings, allowing for subtle gradations similar to watercolor washes. Developed in the 18th century, it involves coating a metal plate (typically copper) with a fine layer of powdered resin, which is then heated to adhere the particles to the surface. The plate is subsequently etched with acid, which bites around the resin grains to create a textured, porous surface that holds ink. By varying the exposure time and using stop-out varnish, artists can control the depth and richness of tones, making aquatint ideal for producing shaded backgrounds and atmospheric effects. It was widely used in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in topographical prints, book illustrations, and fine art, prized for its painterly quality and ability to convey depth and mood. Publication History and Census This view was designed by Henry Innes, engraved by James Egan, and published by J. W. Laird in London in 1841. The role and identity of Benjamin B. King, who signed the work and dedicated it to the late William IV (r. 1830 - 1837), remains a mystery. Innes was involved in the production of two similar 'genealogical trees', both as rare today as the present work: a c. 1832 'Chrono.
