Vellum. Condition: Good. Original C17th deed. While parts of the document are difficult to read it seems to suggest that the lands in question are somewhere along the lines of "Dumboe" & "Ballyinardough" (?). Not sure about the former (requires more research and clarification), but latter could be Ballymangan or Ballymagan Townlands (?). It would seem that Theobald Bourke was the 4th Viscount of Mayo. He died in 1676. He would seem to have been a great grandson of Grainne O'Malley. The deed is signed by Richard Bourke and with his seal in a a pouch attached. Among others who signed it ( presumably as witnesses) are J.Ritchingman (?), ? French, W. Roberts & J. Warburton. Interesting deed requiring further research.

Manuscript Articles of Agreement, dated 20 September 1758 at "Head Quarters at Mezuell," (likely Meuzel, near Cologne, Germany) between His Grace Charles Spencer, 3rd Duke of Marlborough (Commander in Chief of His Majesty's British Forces in Germany), and Abraham Prado of London. The contract stipulates Prado's provision of vast quantities of forage (hay, oats, and straw) to British magazines at Osnabruck, Bremen, and Mepplen, with detailed terms regarding delivery, payment, indemnity against enemy seizure, and logistical flexibility should magazines be relocated. Eleven clauses govern the agreement, which was set to commence January 1759 for six months. Twice signed boldly by Marlborough, each with intact wax seal. A rare and significant primary source illustrating the logistical underpinnings of Britain's military operations in Germany during the Seven Years' War, highlighting the role of civilian contractors in sustaining eighteenth-century warfare. At this time, Charles Spencer, 3rd Duke of Marlborough (grandson of the celebrated John Churchill) was serving as commander of the British contingent in Germany, operating under Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick. Marlborough played a key role in the 1758 campaign, including at the Battle of Krefeld (23 June 1758), where the allied army defeated the French. His command placed him at the center of British efforts to counter French power on the Continent. Later that year, however, Marlborough fell gravely ill on campaign and died in October 1758, cutting short what might have been a distinguished military career. 1402285.

An attractive broadside form, accomplished in manuscript, outlining the articles of agreement between Captain Rufus Greene and his small crew (a mate, three sailors, and a cabin boy), for a poorly timed trading voyage to Cap Français. Below the text of the agreement, a large space is provided within a decorative border for the names of the captain and crew, their time of entry, pay advanced, and monthly wages. Greene's pay was nine pounds per month, the mate twelve dollars, the sailors six to eight, and the boy four dollars. Each was advanced one month's pay. Unfortunately for Greene and his crew, the Schooner Hardie was among those American ships swept up in the turmoil of the Haitian Revolution in 1791. Still, they were not detained for terribly long: Hardie returned to Philadelphia in October (after a March departure), bringing home early news of the revolution rather than a hefty cargo. Rufus Greene, Jr., (1747-1831) was a close cousin and business associate of Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene. Sailing in the latter's employ in the years prior to the war, Rufus was notably a leading suspect in the burning of the customs ship H.M.S. Gaspee in Rhode Island (which had recently seized Greene's cargo of rum). Happily for the Greene family and business, Rufus not only got away scot-free with his probable involvement in the Gaspee affair, but also won his lawsuit for wrongful seizure of cargo. An attractive 18th-century mariners' agreement, signed by a significant figure in the road to revolution. Old center fold, light foxing and soiling. Very good.

A significant manuscript from the aftermath of the celebrated victory of the United States Army under Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans. Taking place on January 8, 1815, after the Treaty of Ghent was signed but prior to its ratification by Congress, the battle was the culmination of Britain's months-long campaign to capture what was then the southwestern boundary of the United States. As impressive as the American victory over a force superior in both numbers and training may have been, the battle's most enduring legacy was the ascendancy of Andrew Jackson, whose success propelled him to national fame and ultimately the presidency. The present document is a manuscript true copy of the articles of agreement for a prisoner exchange between the American and British armies following the battle, likely in the hand of British Major Harry George Smith. These "Provisional Articles agreed on between Major Smith authorized by Major General Lambert and Edward Livingston aide-de-camp to Major General Jackson" were finalized nine days after the battle, on January 17. The ratio of soldiers captured at New Orleans, estimated at 484 British to only nineteen American, allowed Jackson to negotiate for the return of every American prisoner taken by Admiral Cochrane and the late General Pakenham's forces in the southwest. These articles decree that all American prisoners of both the army and navy held in the British camp or on prison ships by Cochrane will be returned, "and that on receipt of the said Prisoners a number of British Prisoners equal in rank and number.shall be sent to the mouth of the Mississippi to be received by ships appointed for that purpose by the Admiral." They further stipulate that, according to standard practice at the time, "Officers of equal rank shall be exchanged for equal rank and wounded for wounded as far as circumstances will permit." The document is designated a true copy and signed "H.G. Smith," with the signature of "Ed. Livingston" reproduced in the same hand. Also included here, on a separate folio sheet, is a brief "Extract of a letter from General Jackson, Commanding the Army of the United States of America at New Orleans, dated 9th January 1815." This excerpt, written in a different hand some years later, describes the sole success story of the British battle effort. In Jackson's own words: "Simultaneously with his advance upon my lines, he had thrown over in his Boats a considerable Force to the other side of the River. These having landed, were hardy enough to advance against the Works of General Morgan, and what is strange and difficult to account for, at the very moment when their entire discomfiture was looked for with a confidence approaching to certainty, the Kentucky Reinforcements, in whom so much reliance had been placed, ingloriously fled, and thus yielding to the Enemy that most fortunate Position. The Batteries which had rendered me for many days the most important service, tho' bravely defended, were of course now abandoned.The Enemy now occupied a Position from which they might survey us without hazard, and by means of which they might have been enabled to defeat in great measure the effects of our success on this side the River." The retreat of the Kentucky forces described by Jackson was less due to cowardice and more due to American General David Morgan's poor deployment of his command, which had left them with no realistic way to defend their position. Fortunately for the Americans, their routed forces managed to sabotage their artillery before retreating, and Thornton's gravely injured command was unable to provide support to their floundering allies on the other side of the river. Written on paper with an 1821 watermark, the purpose of this manuscript is not entirely clear, though it seems likely that an English contemporary was eager to prove that the battle had not been a complete failure for their forces. An interesting pair of British documents from the aftermath of one of the most famous military engagements in United States history. Light tanning, minimal edge wear. Both documents near fine.
