Henry Hare Dugmore Lecture 1970. 215 x 140 mm; saddle-stitched card wrappers; pp. (ii) + 22; portrait. Wrappers very slightly foxed. Very good condition. Head of the Department of History at Rhodes University, Professor Winifred A. Maxwell presented this first Dugmore Memorial Lecture as a prelude to the 1820/1970 Celebrations in Grahamstown, drawing attention to the resources available in researching the 1820 Settlers and their world. "The idea behind my own lecture this evening was a simple one, namely to try and show what a wealth of material lies unexplored and how the investigation of it leads to discoveries. Taken singly, these are often small discoveries but they prompt that constant reconsideration which lies at the back of all advancement of learning.".

copied from a letter dated 1718, a piece of cloth pinned to the inside of the first leaf; edges a bit soiled and frayed, pp. [20], 4to; beginning with two blank leaves, and the rest with manuscript recto/verso; quires stapled together, remnants of gilt edges; loosely inserted typescript letter dated 5 July 1955, on headed paper from the Court of the Lord Lyon, the Scottish genealogical register. A fair copy of a letter from Winifred Maxwell, Countess of Nithsdale (c. 16801749) to her sister, in which she recounts the plan by which she masterminded the escape of her husband, Lord Nithsdale, from the Tower of London in 1716. William Maxwell, 5th Earl of Nithsdale, was a Scottish nobleman who took part in the Jacobite rising of 1715. He forfeited his titles and was imprisoned, but escaped from the Tower the evening before his scheduled execution, disguised as his wife's maid. Recounted in full here, some of the details of the prison break are frankly extraordinary; that Lady Maxwell successfully hid his 'long beard' with white make up and rouge, and that once she had smuggled him out she returned to his chambers and made fake conversation, performing half the pretended dialogue in a deep voice. The couple travelled to the continent, and it was from there that Lady Maxwell sent this report to her sister Lucy Herbert (1669-1744), who was the abbess of the so-called English Convent at Bruges. The original letter was dated April 16th 1718, and this copy made almost a century after the events it recounts, in 1813. There is a small square of brown cloth pinned to the verso of the first leaf, with the implication that this was cut from the costume Nithsdale used to escape. The episode - in this epistolary format - was published shortly after this copy was made, appearing in the Scots Magazine and Edinburgh Literary Miscellany in 1816. Widely reproduced, the story remained a cornerstone of romance and daring for much of the nineteenth century, appearing in compendiums of similarly audacious escapes, and in several artistic representations including one by Emily Mary Osborn (1834-93). In 1848 the family was restored to their seat of Terregles.
