49 lines over first 3 sides of 4pp 4to, integral address leaf, paper watermarked 1819; v. sl. rubbed at seal. A very well-preserved example, neatly sewn along inner margin into later blue cloth protective boards. In the Complete Letters (ed. by E.V. Lucas), vol. II, p.301. A long and very important letter, in which Lamb responds to uncertainties regarding the pronunciation of 'Elia', casts light on the origin of his nom-de-plume, and also offers advice to a fellow poet. Sometime in June 1821 Lamb had been sent by the publisher John Taylor some lines entitled 'Epistle to Elia', written under the signature 'Olen', but by Charles Abraham Elton. Lamb was evidently rather taken with the verses, which would appear in the London Magazine in August 1821, but suggested a couple of alterations, writing them out in detail on the second page: 'the line One in a skeleton's ribb'd hollow cooped is undoubtedly wrong. Should it not be a skeleton's rib or ribs? or in a skeleton ribb'd, hollow-coop'd?'. He also queried where the stress should lie in the word 'exoteric'. Notwithstanding these minor defects, Lamb was keen that Taylor pass on his 'gratefullest respects to the poet', and allowed himself to wonder, erroneously as it turned out, 'if it may be M----y [perhaps Montgomery]?'. E.V. Lucas notes in the Complete Letters, that Taylor and Elton corresponded several times on the subject over the next few days, recording that Elton felt honoured to receive advice from Lamb, but that he would respectfully point out that the word in the manuscript was 'esoteric' and not 'exoteric'. Advised by Taylor on the correct pronunciation of Elia (Taylor evidently passed on Lamb's missive from this letter: 'Call him Ellia'), Elton acknowledged that he was placing the stress on the wrong syllable, but was not inclined to alter his epistle, admitting 'I scarcely know how to change the emphasis of Elia without injury to the verse'. On the third page, Lamb discusses the origin of his pseudonym. 'Poor Elia - the real (for I am but a counterfeit) is dead. The fact is, a person of that name, an Italian, was a fellow clerk of mine at the South Sea House 30 (not 40) years ago, when the characters I described there existed. I having a brother now there, & doubting how he might relish certain descriptions in it, I clapt down the name of Elia to it, which passed off pretty well, for Elia himself added the function of an author to that of a scrivener like myself'. Lamb's claim had earlier been hinted at by Leigh Hunt, who in March 1821 in the pages of The Indicator, had observed that 'there was a family by the name of Elia who came from Italy'. Indeed, C.A. Prance's Companion to Charles Lamb records an F. Augustus Elia, author and clerk at the South Sea House, who died in 1820. In the final paragraph of this letter, Lamb describes calling in to see the real Elia, 'to laugh over with him at my usurpation of his name', but regrettably finding he had 'died of consumption 11 months ago'. He reasons, 'the name has fairly devolv'd to me.'. A marvellous letter, signed 'Yours truly C Lamb'.

First and only edition, 8vo, 50pp., a little age-toned, disbound. Goldsmiths', 9303.

Chart printed using black and red ink, 37.7 x 53cm, captions and charts in Japanese and English. A little minor creasing, very good. This chart of the Yokohama offing records the positioning of warships during the fleet review held on 23 October 1905. Attended by the Meiji Emperor, the review was staged by the Imperial Japanese Navy to celebrate Japan?s victory over the Russian Baltic Fleet at the Battle of Tsushima. It was one of the largest fleet reviews in Japanese history, with more than 160 vessels taking part, including several British ships. The chart incorporates diagrams and tables in both Japanese and English and clearly indicates the positions of the Emperor?s vessel alongside those of the participating warships.

FIRST EDITION, with a folding engraved plate as frontispiece, and a folding engraved plate with 2 maps, uniformly slightly browned, minor soiling, frontispiece foxed and with a short tear (no loss), old fly-leaf at front, defective in the lower outer corner, bearing the ownership inscription of Philip Moore, dated Sept, 2nd, 1745, pp. vii, 8-256, 8vo, modern leatherette, sound. Not in the NMM Catalogue, although ESTC records NMM as a location. The catalogue does list a group of works 'concerned with the indecisive and unsatisfactory action fought between the English and Franco-Spanish fleets off Toulon on 11 February, 1744. Also concerned with the court-martial and bitter controversy which subsequently arose between the British commander-in-chief, Admiral Thomas Mathews, his deputy, Vice-Admiral Richard Lestock and their subordinates. The dispute gave rise to a remarkable series of pamphlets.' ODNB (entry for Lestock) characterises the action more brutally as 'a monumental naval failure.' Besides the NMM copy ESTC locates copies in BL, Bodleian, National Trust and Trinity College, and just NYPL in the US. (ESTC T64264).
