Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. Murray was Durham's nephew and a member of the Royal Irish Fusiliers. The book is a detailed account of the life and career of Admiral Sir Philip C. H. C. Durham, a Scotsman who was a distinguished naval officer in the Royal Navy during the 19th century. It covers Durham's early life, his entry into the navy, his rise through the ranks, and his various naval engagements and campaigns including mutinies, sinkings, meeting Lord Horatio Nelson, awards and so on. He was a young lieutenant on the HMS Royal George when it sank in 1782; he survived by jumping into the sea where he was rescued. He also served under Horatio Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Handsome hardcover, bound in full leather six gilt bands and gilt titles in a red band on the spine. 119 pages. Very good condition, small bit of leather missing top of spine. Someone has written notes in pencil on the page facing the inside front cover, noting the fact that the book originally was in the naval library of a C. Nortcote-Parkinson, a professor and author, and for whom the saying "Parkinson's Law" is named. The book has an interesting provenance, as it also has the armorial bookplate of Gordon of Aikenhead (John Gordon II 1815-1898) on the inside front cover. He came from a notable Scottish family; his father was a West Indies merchant for whom a street in Glasgow is named. Aikenhead was the family seat. More recently the book was owned by R. Burdett Mafit, a well-known American collector of British naval history. Rare volume; we can find no other currently available.

1p., 4to. Bifolium. Addressed with postmarks, on reverse of second leaf, to 'Mr. Simpson, | Clothiere, | St. Martin's Lane | London.' In fair condition, on aged paper. Docketted with Harcourt's dates. The letter reads: 'Sir, | Captain Sir Murray Maxwell having signified his intention of offering himself as a Candidate for Westminster at the ensuing Election; I shall be much obliged to you if you will give him Your Vote upon that occasion.' In the 1818 general election Maxwell (1775-1831) was defeated by less than 400 votes, losing to Sir Samuel Romilly and Sir Francis Burdett. The campaign ruined him financially, and his health was permanently undermined after he was struck in the back in Covent Garden by a paving stone thrown from a mob opposed to his candidacy.
