barbaria, stating in part ` la grace de notre seigneur soit avec vous pour jamais. j´ai été fort console de votre lettre qui m´apprend votre voyage de toulon et ce que vous avez négocié avec mr. le commandeur paul. il me semble que vous ne pourriez agir avec plus de discrétion ni de succes\u2026 j´ai mis en déliberation si je devais me donner l´honneur de lui écrire pour l´en remercier, mais je

that you could not act with more discretion or success\u2026 i have been deliberating whether i should give myself the honour of writing to him to thank him for it, but i found myself unworthy for not having words responding to the honour of his affection and the greatness of his courage. i do only intend to celebrate holy mass in thanksgiving to god\u2026\u201d) saint vincent de paul further

paris, saying ` il faut envoyer quelqu´un en alger pour négocier avec le pasha\u2026 les turcs lui pourront faire quelques avances, mais j´ai peine a le croire\u2026 mr. le vacher partira pour

you have it, lest the news reach algiers\u2026 \u201d) before concluding he says that nothing else should be sent to the consul ` il ne faut plus rien envoyer au consul, qu´on lui envoi tout et qu´on ne sache a quoi il emploi l´argent..´ (\u201cwe must not send anything more to the consul, we send everything to him and we do not know what he uses the money for..\u201d) to the inside pages borders,

the time. dunkirk (dutch for 'church in the dunes') was a strategic port on the southern coast of the english channel in the spanish netherlands. the french and their english commonwealth allies were commanded by turenne, marshal of france. the siege would last a month and featured numerous sorties by the garrison and a determined relief attempt by the spanish army under the command of don juan de austria and his confederate english royalists under duke of york and rebels of the french fronde under the great condé that resulted in the battle of the dunes. \n cardinal mazarin (1602-1661) italian

everyone shouted for revolution - i made a fist (& this is what i was scared about) & said \u201crevolution was in the tate house. revolution is dead babies everywhere\u201d. that could easily be misunderstood as we wanted that even tho if any one had eyes, i was starting to cry. the last thing i said in this part (he cut it) was: i want manson heard. i was shot up from below. i look pale & a little fat around the cheeks & tired eyes - but not all that bad. another thing i was wondering - i was still wearing my red hat. i do now not as often because i need a pin for it but is that alright?

i wasn't on top of my thoughts\u2026\u2026and the worst part is when my mind was spinning to find some words to say much in a short time & he asked - do you ever doubt - and w/o a thought i answered \u201coh i've had doubts all my life but\u2026.\u201d & suddenly i snapped\u2026..& i said oh no - & then he asked me the question again & i said \u201c i know blab la bla\u201d\u2026\u2026also i had big photos of you on my locker beside redwood trees and whales\u2026\u2026and later he asked if i thought i was crazy & i said what kind of insane mind would create a giraffe & he didn't understand. and he asked if others here thought i was crazy and i could've said good things but i said no. and i said i don't care what they think. i was just told that rolling stone magazine has a hold of a manuscript i wrote about ranch and is asking my approval to publish\u2026..i have had thoughts of both rolling stone & someone trying to sell portions of my book - just this week. and since i've been working on ranch portion - especially - i may just go that way w/ stipulation i can make a book\u2026..i got a letter from you today and i'm so happy to get this motion picture. the ones we had i don't have here. this is beautiful\u2026\u2026i saw the second part of interview today, it wasn't bad. i forget the last thing they showed but when i said i respected respect & my family they showed film of us on the corner and with bald heads. some not so good shots of you. but also the picture of you on locker with long hair & beard. i think the last thing i said today was people judge themselves. they mentioned the people's court today too. and showed film pictures of blue\u2026..i told b to get her tapes out - the ones she got 15 years for. they're good. the t.v. guy said for people to look & see if they can see what's going on in the unpredictable illogical mind of l. squeaky f - i tried to change the name but didn't succeed\u2026..the guy said - i can't see how all the life you're talking about has anything to do w/ murder - i don't understand\u2026and i said - well let's find out.

that love is the only means for man to attain happiness, to which he tends naturally. this law was revealed not only by christianity, but by all the sages of the world: egyptians, chinese, indians, greeks etc. but it has only been accepted and understood by a very small minority. the history of mankind is nothing but the progressive realisation of this law, the acceptance of this law, the replacement of selfishness with love, not to reward them from beyond the grave, but for the true happiness of this life. this, my dear friend and brother, is my creed with which i lived the happiest last part of my life, and with which i await death at every moment, without desiring it and without being able to fear it' . with an autograph note in zimaco's hand to the verso of the final page, ' [tolstoy] \u2026consoled me for the many setbacks i received from certain french journalists in wanting to expose them\u2026.and defend the true doctrine of jesus christ' . a letter of very fine content. some light overall age wear and staining, most evident to the final page. about g"},"estimateMax":15000,"lotNumber":"738","title":{"es":"tolstoy leo: (1828-1910) russian writer, regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. a leng..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/21827/lot/121504/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":10000,"soldPrice":9000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:11:28.220Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac10,000 - \u20ac15,000","currency":"EUR","id":121504,"estimateMin":10000},{"startPrice":300,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/121505/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/121505/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/121505/006/006.jpg"],"soldDate":"2022-04-07","available":false,"description":{"es":"[gorky maxim]: \n (1868-1936) alexei maximovich peshkov, russian writer and political socialist activist. a fine set of three original photographs, unsigned, showing gorki in different poses. the first image, 3.5 x 5.5, depicts gorki alongside feodor chaliapin (1873-1938) russian opera singer. an excellent vintage postcard photograph, the image showing both artists in a half-length pose, gorky seated alongside chaliapin standing close. the second image, 6 x 4, shows gorky seated alongside vikenty veresaev (1867-1945) soviet writer, leonid andreyev (1871-1919) russian playwright, considered a father of expressionism in russian literature, and mouijel. the third oblong 6 x 5 image shows gorki seated before his working bureau in a head and shoulders pose. tear and very slightly trimmed bottom left corner to the last image, otherwise g, 3"},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"739","title":{"es":"[gorky maxim]: (1868-1936) alexei maximovich peshkov, russian writer and political socialist activis..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/21827/lot/121505/view","tags":["esart_photography","esart","esart_all"],"directSalePrice":300,"soldPrice":280,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:11:28.222Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac300 - \u20ac400","currency":"EUR","id":121505,"estimateMin":300},{"startPrice":600,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/121506/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/121506/004/004.jpg"],"soldDate":"2022-04-07","available":false,"description":{"es":"kouprin alexander: \n (1870-1938) russian writer, pilot, explorer and adventurer. best known for his story the duel . a.l.s., ` a. kuprin ´, in cyrillic, also signed ` kouprine´ as the addressee, one page, to a french postcard, small 8vo, paris, n.p.

is venomous, because it is one of those accusations, \n of the have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife variety, \n against which there is no conceivable defence\u2019 \n \n sayers dorothy l.: (1893-1957) english crime writer, creator of the english aristocrat and amateur sleuth lord peter wimsey. a forthright and vigorously worded t.l.s., dorothy l. sayers , three pages (separate leaves), 4to, witham, essex, 25 th july 1947, to dr. james bridie. sayers commences her letter writing 'i said that one statement of yours, which i quoted, was a thing \u201cvenomously said\u201d. it is venomous, because it is one of those accusations, of the have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife variety, against which there is no conceivable defence; and it is made, moreover, against a body whose peculiarly isolated and semi-official position precludes it from making any defence at all. a similar imputation of malice could scarcely, i think, be made with impunity against a private person or a private firm. you say that you made this and similar accusations \u201cin a loud, hysterical voice\u201d. i doubt whether any good is done by hysteria' , continuing 'as for the rest; you are misinformed as to the facts. 1). it is not true that the authors' society, as a body, is \u201cthe representative of the authors\u201d. the only representatives legally entitled to negotiate contracts on behalf of authors are the authors' accredited agents. i have already pointed this out to the b.b.c\u2026\u20262). it is not true that professional authors in general have benefited by the intervention of the authors' society in their relations with the b.b.c. on the contrary, and to my certain knowledge, that intervention has tended to operate over the whole field of negotiation in such a way as to foster misunderstanding, perpetuate unsatisfactory conditions, debase values and force prices down\u2026.a fact of which recent history can furnish some notorious examples. 3). it is not true that the authors' society is in a position to call a legal strike\u2026\u20264). it is not true that \u201cit is as much as their livelihood is worth for the great majority of writers\u201d to refuse to sign an inequitable clause in a contract. for one thing, the \u201cgreat majority of writers\u201d are not dependent on the b.b.c. for their livelihood. for another, any writer who has achieved sufficient professional status to earn his living by writing, is in a position to employ an agent, who will see to it that his client is not victimised' . following her four points, sayers further writes 'as for the suggestion that i am in some way exploiting a privileged position, i trust that you do not realise how extremely offensive it is. i made it quite clear in my original letter that i had consistently used the same behaviour from the time when i had neither money nor influence until now. i also object strongly to the insinuation that i have not \u201csat down and thought for a moment\u201d about this matter. i have thought about it for a good many years, having long ago seen the danger of introducing trade-union methods and the trade-union mentality into the profession of letters. since you ask me, i will say again, with the utmost seriousness, that i think this a very much greater menace to freedom than any \u201cmonopolistic\u201d behaviour by the b.b.c\u2026..let me remind you that such good work as has been done in the past by the authors' society was done by the quiet refusal of individual established authors and their agents to sign inequitable contracts; it was not the result of mass-action, hysterical outcries, and pogroms in the press. let me suggest further that the society should not be in too much of a hurry to congratulate itself on a so-called \u201cchange of mood\u201d on the part of the b.b.c. directorate. the plain truth is that the society is now trying to offer the b.b.c. on a plate the very conditions which would be cheapest and easiest for the b.b.c. and most damaging to the authors' interests. fortunately, any agreements made by the society are not worth the paper they are written on\u2026\u2026.you can not sell literary work at a flat rate per hour-wordage, as though it was government cheese, or the product of the assembly-belt' and concludes her letter remarking 'finally, let me say as clearly as i can that i think the policy of the authors' society is the worst possible, in that it is neither right nor even expedient. this is my considered opinion; and it is not likely that i shall be moved by exaggerated and absurd flattery about my \u201cbig guns\u201d or my skill as a dramatist. my opinion is based upon facts, well known to me, and knowable by any one who will take the trouble to investigate the matter with an unprejudiced mind and without hysterical emotion' . together with james bridie's reply , a t.l.s., james bridie , two pages, 4to, bearsden, 28 th july 1947, to miss. sayers, responding to her in six points, in part, '1. if the authors' society is not \u201crepresentative of the authors\u201d, what is it?......2. i see that we must agree to differ in this point. it is my impression that the society has fulfilled very well the purposes for which it was founded and has bettered the condition of authors\u2026\u20263. nobody ever suggested that the society was in a position to call a legal strike. it is in a position to advise its members that the b.b.c. conditions are unfair and inacceptable and to black-list the b.b.c\u2026\u2026..4. if i suggested for a moment that you were \u201cexploiting a privileged position\u201d, i am very sorry. what i did suggest was that your own position was now so completely assured that you were apt to forget the weaker vessels, i still think so. 5. if you think that the present strong feeling among so many authors is inspired by \u201ctrades union mentality\u201d, i think you think wrongly and i was prepared to give you the benefit of the belief that you had written in haste. i do not know what is in your mind when you speak of totalitarian extremes\u2026\u20266. i do not think that you have made yourself sufficiently familiar with what the society's proposals are. what you call the vicious principle of the minimum rate is merely an attempt to ensure that all authors are paid a suitable and dignified fee. it is true that it is difficult to make the b.b.c. understand that they still have to bargain with authors who insist on their own terms; but we are trying to do so, and shall not despair' , and further concluding 'finally, you are fully entitled to your opinion. you must not, however, accuse me of absurd flattery. i referred to your reputation as a matter of common knowledge and common civility. i notice also that you accuse me of malignity, insolence and lies\u2026..do let me say, however, that your b.b.c. is by no means the defenceless object you make it out to be in your first paragraph. if it is isolated and semi-official, that is its own fault. it is of this isolation and semi-officialdom that many of us complain' . several small pinholes to the upper left corner of each page of both

more content. and i am writing a new book, although at this stage it is rather shapeless & tentative, and more crossings out than confident prose. we came here, not to escape the virus, but to shake off the persistent pressures of publishers, movie-makers and the rest of the pack who somehow succeed in getting in the way of writing. i recently received a coveted award and took twelve of my family with me to stockholm for the ceremony. somehow the hullaballoo followed me home, so we bolted - just in time, as it turns out - and are self-isolated, which is how it's always been down here anyway,

, one page, 4to, paris, 27 th february 1923, to [jean baptiste perrin] ( \u2018cher ami\u2019 ), on the printed stationery of the laboratoire curie at the institut du radium, faculte des sciences de paris, in french. curie thanks perrin for having sent her the notice regarding his scientific works ( \u2018i have had great pleasure in reviewing in detail the history of your commendable activity\u2019 ) however continues to \u2018issue a small complaint\u2019 , explaining \u2018you deem that, before your works, the chemical explanation for the fluorescence phenomenon was unknown, and that no explanation for the thermoluminescence phenomenon had been given. in this respect, you are wrong. in my traite, i expounded the phenomenon of phosphorescence produced by radium rays as well as the phenomenon of thermoluminescence related to those same rays, and i pointed out those phenomena were probably the results of chemical transformations\u2019 , directing perrin to the relevant pages of her work devoted to phosphorescence and further observing \u2018you will also notice that, in some cases, the chemical nature of the transformation is supposed to be known. it is very clear that i could not have dispensed with trying to explain these phenomenon when the transformation of phosphorescent material is as apparent as it is in the case of several ones which i mention in my traite (action of radium rays and x-rays, barium platinocyanide, zinc sulphur, self-colouring glass etc.)\u2019 before concluding \u2018it is certain that, as regards radium rays, the chemical action is not always the result of electromagnetic radiation. i therefore think that a chemical reaction can be provoked either by an electromagnetic radiation or by a corpuscular radiation whose effect can be referred to as a shock . depending on the nature of the reaction, one or the other of these two processes is more efficient, and it is probable that, in some cases, only one of them can take place. it seems to me that the reaction of ions in solution does not necessarily pertain to the first category\u2019 . in the lower left margin, opposite the final paragraph, perrin has penned an autograph note , in french, stating \u2018i have said that (i do not know whether it was before madame curie wrote or said it elsewhere) as soon as 1921 [in] radiation or chemistry, pages 13-14\u2019 . a rare letter of very fine scientific content and association, reflecting the scientific exchanges between two of the most important scientists of the 20th century, both instrumental in our current understanding of the atom, on a closely related subject. some light creasing and minor age wear at the folds, about vg \n \n jean baptiste perrin (1870-1942) french physicist, nobel prize winner for physics, 1926. \n in 1898, perrin was elected to a position of professor at the university in paris, a position for which pierre curie had also applied. perrin was elected to the académie des sciences (of which he became president in 1938) on 11 th june 1923, a few weeks after receiving the present letter. his first studies were devoted to the subjects of cathode rays and x-rays, before shifting to brownian motion. \u2018his most fundamental conclusion \u2013 that he had finally uncovered irrefutable proof of the real existence of atoms -\u2026.was soon universally accepted\u2019 (dsb). between 1918 and 1921 perrin studied the phenomenon of fluorescence and the interaction between light and matter and, in 1926, received the nobel prize for physics (which marie curie had received along with her husband pierre and henri becquerel in 1903 for the discovery of radioactivity). a strong friendship developed during the dreyfus affair between the curies and perrin, who shared common political views. they were active members of the human rights league and often spent holidays together."},"estimateMax":18000,"lotNumber":"851","title":{"es":"curie marie: (1867-1934) polish-french physicist

(c.1822/23), being jenner's transcripts of contemporary scientific texts relating to meteorology. jenner's notes explore the various aspects of contemporary meteorology, including the observations and discoveries of leading academics including william falconer, luke howard and thomas forster and cover a wide variety of meteorological subjects from instrumentation ( 'a complete apparatus of meteorological instruments should include the barometer, thermometer, hydrometer, photometer, athrioscope, cynometer' ) through to the influence of flora and fauna ( 'animal effluvia as well as vegetable are capable of being mixed with the air, and suspended in it. these are now generally esteemed to be the cause or source of fevers of the malignant or contagious kind' ). \n \n the comprehensive notebook includes texts from various publications, essays and papers, a few extracts of which include - \n \n 'the analysis of the atmosphere is one of the finest discoveries of modern chemistry. it appears to consist of two distinct expansible fluids contained in different proportions, a single portion of oxygen gas being united to three parts by weight, or four parts by bulk, of azote. there is also a very slight admixture of carbonic acid gas, accounting perhaps to a thousandth part of the whole ', from the supplement to the encyclopaedia britannica written by sir john leslie between 1815-24, \n \n ' the degree of pressure of the atmosphere upon the human body has not been exactly estimated, it having been computed from 31,000 to 42,000 pounds' weight. in the different states of the atmosphere his varies, the effects of these variations are not ascertained ', from the 'remarks on the influence of climate, situation, nature of country, population, nature of food, and way of life' by william falconer (london, 1781), \n \n 'it is the frequent observation of the countenance of the sky, and of its connection with the present and ensuing phaenomena, that constitutes the antient and popular meteorology. the want of this branch of knowledge renders the predictions of the philosopher, who is attending only to his instruments less generally successful than those of the weather-wise mariner or husbandman ', from the philosophical magazine, (vol. xvi, london, 1803. article xviii), 'on the modifications of clouds, and on the principles of their production, suspension and destruction'; being the substance of an essay read before the askesian society in the session 1802-3, by luke howard, \n \n 'one of the principle uses of meteorology is, that it enables us to predict, in some measure, the ensuing changes of the weather. to do this accurately, a familiar acquaintance with the modification of the clouds, and indeed with all the operations which are going on above, appears necessary. when two or more contrary indications appear, the result must be deduced from those which ultimately prevail; & that when several agreeable signs appear, the event may be predicted with additional certainty\u2026some animals express signs of uneasiness previous to an alteration of the weather long before there are any visible signs of a change. dogs for instance become very drowsy & stupid before rain & their ears are sometimes found considerably inflamed\u2026.cats though in a less degree are affected in the same manner - and a leech, confined in a glass of water, has been found, by its rapid motions\u2026to indicate fair or wet weather. peculiarities in the electric state of the atmosphere may\u2026affect the constitution of animals in the same manner as they appear to do ours, & thereby excite pleasurable or uneasy sensations', from the 'researches about atmospheric phaenomena etc.' by thomas forster (london, 1813), \n \n 'in the formation of thunder storms i have noticed that when the rain actually begins to form and descend, the intensity of the blackness is not so great as where the cumulostratus is only going into a state of nimbus. if therefore the density is increased in the formation of drops of water, the blackness must depend on some other peculiarity of structure' , from an article in 'the philosophical magazine' (vol. xli, london, 1813) written by thomas forster, \n \n 'to establish meteorology on a solid basis we should inquire into the extent and constitution of the medium we breathe and assist external observation by the different philosophical instruments which implicate at all times the exact condition and qualities of that mutable fluid ', from the 'treatise on meteorology' by john leslie in the quarterly journal of science, literature, and the arts (vol. xiv, article x, london, 1823) \n \n 'white clouds on a grey ground, is one of the most certain indications of a mixture of two currents possessed of different constitutions. storms are more sudden from the west points, in their commencement and are preceded by greater indications of commotion in the atmosphere, are attended with greater variations of the barometer, are more squally in their progress, more partial in their extent and generally of less duration than those from an east point' , from 'remarks upon meteorology; with a specimen of a new meteorological table' by dr.bostock, as it appeared in 'a journal of natural philosophy, chemistry and the arts' by william nicholson (vol. xxv, london, 1810), \n \n 'the limit, or boundary of the atmosphere terminates where the expansive force or power of the air, upwards, or from the earth's surface is completely overcome by the force or power of gravitation downwards, or towards the earth's surface, which is estimated at about 44 or 45 miles. it is computed that it would extend only to about 5 ½ miles in height if it were so compressed, that its density throughout should equal its degree of density near the surface of the earth' , from an essay 'on the barometer' by richard walker of oxford, published in 'the philosophical magazine' by alexander tilloch (vol. xl, july -

birth of the jet engine - whittle submits his first report to the air ministry \n \n whittle frank: (1907-1996) english air commodore, inventor and engineer, credited with the invention of the turbojet engine which culminated in the first british jet-engined aircraft, the gloster e.28/39, flying on 15 th may 1941. an historically important document prepared by whittle, unsigned, although with a few corrections in his hand, titled report on first tests of an experimental gas turbine by squadron-leader f. whittle, r.a.f. , marked \u2018 confidential \u2019 , and one of five copies, being the first confidential report delivered to the air ministry by power jets ltd. \u2018in fulfilment of item no.1 of research contract\u2019 , thirty-six pages, folio, with three fold-out appendices at the conclusion, n.p., 31 st march 1938. the typescript (carbon copy) report describes, in detail, the initial tests of a constant pressure gas turbine intended for aircraft propulsion by jet reaction and the experiments carried out under whittle\u2019s supervision between april and august 1937, the introduction stating, in part, \u2018at the time when the development of the propulsion unit was under consideration, there was no intention of making a complete engine at once, partly because definite ideas as to its final form were rather nebulous, but mainly because a sufficient knowledge of the performance of the different components for design purposes was lacking. it was therefore intended to adopt a step by step process, commencing with tests on a high speed single stage centrifugal compressor. it was decided that this should be of the size to be used in the engine\u2026..because it was believed that to make tests on a smaller scale would lead to misleading results\u2019 and the document continuing with reports on design and construction (including the strength of the materials when exposed to high temperature, the rotor assembly, the \u2018 very unorthodox feature\u2019 of the turbine nozzle, etc.), the results of preliminary combustion tests ( \u2018these tests at least proved that the required combustion rates could be obtained, though for various reasons, they did not provide sufficient information for the avoidance of combustion trouble in the engine itself\u2026\u2026ignition of the atomising sprays by high tension spark proved to be easy at moderate air speeds, but as the electrodes were damaged early in the tests, ignition was mainly achieved by the insertion of burning oily waste through a flap\u2026\u2026the quality of combustion was judged by the appearance of the flame, the presence or otherwise of visible smoke or fuel vapour, and the smell and the effect on the eyes of the exhaust\u2019 ), tests with atomising sprays, plain sprays ( \u2018the flame was very intense, and for the speed, the combustion was the best that had been achieved up to that time. it appeared, however, that the system was very sensitive to jet alignment, and this was largely true of all similar systems tried\u2019 ), testing arrangements ( \u2018for test purposes, the unit was mounted on a four wheeled trailer. this trailer also carried the starter motor, instrument board and controls, making the set self-contained with the exception of the fuel and water supply\u2026.for starting, it was considered to be necessary to spin the rotor up to about 3000 r.p.m. after which it was expected to be capable of accelerating under its own power\u2026..the instruments and their connections were considerably modified in the course of the tests. pressure gauges were connected to six points on the compressor casing\u2026..the tachometer was mounted on the top of the gear case in such a position that it could be seen through a hole in the instrument board\u2019 ), further providing a description of the test runs of the unit, subdivided into four categories, in part, \u2018for the test runs, the starting procedure was as follows:- the rotor was motored over at about 1000 r.p.m. and the pilot jet ignited by the hand magneto. the speed was then raised to 2000 r.p.m., at which speed the main jet was opened and the unit accelerated under its own power\u2026..no trouble was ever experienced in starting other than occasional trouble with the initial ignition through cracked electrodes, and in fact the very first attempt to start was successful\u2026\u2026five runs were made with this system, the maximum speed reached being 8,500 r.p.m. beyond which the unit would not accelerate on further opening of the control\u2026..of these five runs, uncontrolled acceleration occurred in one case, otherwise it was found possible to hold the unit at a steady speed with the control\u2019 , also giving a discussion of the results and whittle\u2019s conclusions. a document of exceptional content and major significance in whittle\u2019s development of the jet engine, the historical importance of which cannot be

20th century. that one man accomplished this, working with a small but dedicated team of engineers and craftsman in the middle of a war, and in the face of many doubters, was a truly monumental achievement. the jet engine conceived by frank whittle, a young raf officer who had the necessary intellect, vision, and dedication to fulfil his dream of flying higher and faster, made the world a

together on 10 th may, and forwards two memoranda which he hopes will be of interest, continuing \u2018that talk did me a lot of good, and had a very beneficial effect on my peace of mind. i did not mean to say by that that i like the arrangements which the air ministry have made any better than i did, but i hope that we shall be able to overcome the main potential sources of trouble by making special arrangements to deal with them\u2019 , adding that relationships with the rover company are as good as he could hope them to be ( \u2018the engineers concerned will have to do the best they can to keep the atmosphere sweet\u2019 ), expressing his desire to meet tedder again so that he can explain some difficulties to be guarded against, remarking \u2018an example of the sort of thing which causes me a lot of worry is the very serious delay which has occurred with the experimental apparatus for a pressure combustion test set. in this matter we came to the conclusion that such a set was urgently necessary early in february\u2026..and in the meantime we got on with the w.x. idea. we came to the conclusion early in march that the w.x. scheme was the best all-round one for the purpose\u2026..we sent the w.x. layout drawing to the b [ritish] t [homson-] h [ouston] on the 18 th april, since when nothing has been settled. i took the law into my own hands two days ago and gave the b.t.h. instructions to proceed on the w.x. scheme, saying at the same time that it was probable that so much experimental work on combustion was contemplated that if they had a suitable motor driven compressor scheme it would be required as well\u2019. in concluding whittle conveys another concern to tedder, \u2018one quite different matter which i think needs urgent consideration now is how this development is going to be affected if the enemy makes strong air attacks on this country. it seems to me that if sheffield were intensively bombed we should be indefinitely held up, as the production of the special steel forgings is the main bottle neck of the job. i do not think it is wild to suggest that the removal of the whole of this development work to the other side of the atlantic should be contemplated\u2019 . accompanied by the two memoranda prepared and forwarded by whittle , the first a typed d.s. , f whittle s/l , six pages, folio, n.p. (lutterworth, rugby), 22 nd april 1940, titled general memorandum on the design and production of gyrone engines and providing a brief outline of the design requirements, summarised by whittle under various headed paragraphs including performance, minimum weight, simplicity in starting and control, mechanical reliability, ease of maintenance, suitability for quantity production and cheapness of manufacture, in part, \u2018the purpose of the engine is to give aircraft the maximum possible performance for their particular duty, i.e. for an interceptor fighter, high rate of climb, high maximum speed, etc, and for a bomber, high speed and load carrying capacity with long range\u2026..the overall efficiency of the engine is extremely sensitive to the efficiencies of the components\u2026..the overall efficiency depends on the thermal efficiency and the propulsive efficiency\u2026..a higher positive-negative work ratio will lead to greater thermal efficiency, but also a higher jet speed, and hence a reduction in propulsive efficiency. in any case a balance has to be struck between the requirement for a high compression ratio and for a high positive-negative work ratio, and higher mass throughput, in order that the stress and temperature imposed on the turbine will be within the capacity of the material employed to withstand them\u2026..the efficiencies of the compressor and turbine are so important that they must not be penalised except in the most minor way by other requirements\u2026.for example, it may be said that methods for producing the turbine blades should be adapted to the design requirements, rather than that the design should conform to available standard methods of production\u2026..the all-up weight of the engine is very important\u2026.and\u2026.certain extra manufacturing processes are often worth while in order to obtain weight reduction. what may be a \u2018commercial job\u2019 for normal purposes is not necessarily a commercial job for flight purposes if weight reduction has been subordinated to ease of manufacture to an extent which penalises the aircraft performance\u2026..the gyrone engine is at present primarily intended for interceptor fighters, and hence the starting arrangements must be such that the time to get off the ground must be an absolute minimum. this requires that starting arrangements should be speedy, and also that the design of the engine should be such that it is capable of being run up to full speed without danger of damage due to thermal expansions\u2026..control must be simple and reliable, and the engine must be quick in response\u2026\u2026the gyrone engine is mechanically so simple that there are very few parts to go wrong, and provided that all materials used are sound and not unduly overloaded, there should be little fear of mechanical breakdown\u2026..it must be possible for all parts requiring inspection or replacement at intervals to be readily accessible\u2026..the simplicity of the engine is such that maintenance should call for little more than the cleaning of filters\u2026..the engine must be made as easy as possible to remove from the aeroplane, and should be easy to strip and re-assemble\u2026..for aero engine purposes cheapness of manufacture necessarily gives precedence to many over-riding requirements, and in the case of the gyrone engine the manufacture is basically so much more simple that it is of even less importance. in any case it is very dependent on the quantity turned out from a given set of tools\u2019 , and the second a typed d.s. , f whittle , four pages (thin carbon paper), folio, n.p. (lutterworth, rugby), 17 th may 1940, titled memorandum on the design of gyrone engines , outlining the general nature of the design and development problems of gyrones, in part, \u2018the gyrone engine is mechanically simple, but the design engineers require to have an extremely wide range of engineering knowledge and experience because the design covers an unusually large field of problems\u2026..both turbine and compressor theory overlaps so far into the field of aerodynamic knowledge that a sound grounding in aerodynamics is necessary to the gyrone designer. this is particularly so as the utmost in the way of efficiency must be obtained, both from the air compressor and the turbine, and it is the writer\u2019s experience that the commercial turbine world has been slow to make use of up-to-date aerodynamic theory, and when they do use it it is often to abuse it. because of the relative ignorance of commercial designers a vicious circle has been operating in the history of the gas turbine\u2026..the designer must\u2026.be familiar with the engine/aircraft combination, and must have in mind many factors of operation which are peculiar to the aeroplane, e, g. centrifugal forces and gyroscopic effects in turns, atmospheric conditions at different heights and in different parts of the world etc. it is here that the turbine designer finds himself on unfamiliar ground\u2026..when he is faced with the problem of a turbine for aircraft purposes he finds himself in a completely strange world where his engine can be subjected to \u2018tight\u2019 turns of an order which may black out the pilot and cause appreciable gyroscopic effects etc. he would also find that the range of operating conditions is quite outside his experience, as for example the necessity to start up and get off the ground in less than two minutes\u2026\u2026he will not realise the importance of it being possible for the pilot to produce a sudden extra burst of power when he finds himself undershooting the aerodrome, or when finding an enemy aircraft sitting on his tail\u2026..it is of course obvious that these [design] stages overlap very considerably, and the fact that it is an aero engine has to be borne constantly in mind from the earliest moment. also..manufacturing requirements must be kept constantly in mind throughout the design, though, as with all aero engines, manufacturing requirements must give way to the need for operational efficiency to a degree quite foreign to normal commercial work\u2019 . a fascinating and highly important set of documents outlining whittle\u2019s vision for a jet-engined aircraft, which would finally come to fruition almost exactly one year later. some light overall age wear, a few minor rust stains to the upper left corners, and the second memorandum with some creasing and a few minor tears and small areas of paper loss. g to vg, 3 \n \n arthur tedder (1890-1967) 1 st baron tedder. british marshal of the royal air force. at the outbreak of war in 1939, and at the time of the present letter, tedder was posted to the newly created ministry of aircraft production. later he would serve as air commander-in-chief middle east command 1941-43 and as air commander-in-chief mediterranean allied air forces 1943-44. immediately after world war ii tedder was chief of the air staff 1946-50. \n \n whittle had the original idea for jet propulsion in 1928 and made it the subject of his thesis, while at raf college cranwell the same year. he was so certain of his calculations that in january 1930 he filed a patent for his turbo-jet engine idea (granted in october 1932). in 1939 the british air ministry placed a contract for the w.1 engine to be flight tested on the new gloster e.28/39 aircraft. at this point whittle realised that it would be some time before rover could deliver an engine and, unwilling to wait, cobbled together an engine from spare parts, creating the w. 1x which ran for the first time in december 1940, the same month in which whittle suffered a nervous breakdown and left work for a month. during taxiing tests on 7 th april 1941, the w.1x non-airworthy engine powered the e.28/39 where it unofficially became the first british turbojet to be airborne, taking to the air for two or three short hops of several hundred yards at about six feet from the ground. the w.1 flew officially in the e.28/39 on 15 th may 1941. \n \n the present documents are of great importance in the history of aviation, the jet engine\u2019s invention being one of the most important of the 20 th century. \n \n provenance: acquired by our vendor from john wilson (autographs) ltd., witney, oxfordshire, on 24 th june 1980. the documents have not been offered for sale or appeared at auction at

has been obliged to join the confederacy. there had been some skirmishes in finland between his troops and the russians & the latter had advanced. i think it is fortunate if he has joined the confederacy as i do not see how he could have resisted, and i rejoice in it as it will leave us a considerable disposable force and there is now nowhere but south america to employ it. by those who go

james matra, john ross and james green. collingwood writes an interesting series of letters regarding british relationships with morocco (and the role of jews in contract negotiations for supplies) and the emperor, also making references to the french and spanish armies, peace negotiations in paris etc., in part, 'i received the favour of your letter by captain pearse - and am much obliged by the communication of intelligence which accompanied it - you know that only a certain degree of credit is to be given to any intelligence received from the french - for besides the\u2026.whole nation\u2026.composing stories - they have an interest in deceiving us - however i ascertained their being at teneriffe - and i have information of their movements from that time (17 decr.)\u2026\u2026.the story of their having captured the magnamine's convoy was a fabrication - the magnamine being in england and unfit for sea\u2026\u2026.you know the fleet is always at sea - it must be at sea - and the health can only be maintained by a supply of refreshment\u2026\u2026and trust with confidence that this important object will have its due weight and consideration with you' (a.l.s., 15 th january 1806), 'i have just received and send you by the amphion a letter from his majesty to the emperor of morocco, with a great quantity of valuable articles sent by his majesty as presents to the emperor\u2026\u2026the letter from lord castlereagh to lord nelson which accompanied these packages, i am afraid was sent to england, amongst his lordship's papers\u2026..i hope in this negociation which is the subject of his majesty's letter, that a free and open use of the country may be obtained for the fleet as far as relates to the procuring refreshment and stock, that the exorbitant duty of 26 dollars a head on the cattle may either be discontinued or reduced to the same terms on which the garrison of gibraltar is supplied\u2026\u2026i am informed that the most friendly dispositions are entertained by the moorish government and the people in general towards the english, and that the difficulties to which we are principally exposed in receiving supplies proceed from the jews who\u2026\u2026turn every circumstance to profit, and by limiting the quantity of stock exported, raise its price to an extravagant height - perhaps these people might be softened by a proper kind of attention' (l.s. to matra, 11 th january 1806), '\u2026..if you can procure me 4 or 5 dozen fowls, with some eggs and a few vegetables, to be forwarded by the duchess of bedford, i will be much obliged\u2026..' (l.s. to ross, 22 nd april 1806), 'i have received your letter\u2026..in which you informed me of the french mission. i will be glad if you can now tell me what the result of it was - if the nature of their business has transpired & what success they met with' (a.l.s. to ross, 12 th may 1806), 'i have received your letter\u2026..with\u2026.the copy of your correspondence with\u2026..the consul of portugal. i am very sorry when these causes of complaint occur, and am disposed to make some allowance to the portuguese for the circumstances of the times. the influence which france has obtained in portugal we must expect in some degree to feel the effect of\u2026\u2026i have no doubt that had the portuguese consul refused the requisition of the french for a vessel to bring their people round to tangier, it should have been alleged against him as a high offence\u2026\u2026i have great satisfaction in hearing that the french did not obtain the object of their mission' (l.s. to ross, 15 th may 1806), 'you arrive, sir, at a period when there happily exists the most perfect harmony and good understanding with the emperor, and with the barbary states in general\u2026\u2026the fleet has always been very plentifully supplied with beef and refreshments, but the duty paid on the cattle sent to us is extravagantly high (26 dollars a head) while the french and spanish agents have lately concluded a treaty by which they are only charged 5 or 6 dollars a head\u2026..if at a reasonable time by a temperate negociation with the emperor's ministers you could get the duty reduced it would be very desirable\u2026\u2026i have on all occasions endeavoured to introduce to their consideration (the moors) how much they have to apprehend of danger to the tranquillity of their country by the extension of the french power' (l.s. to green, 15 th july 1806), 'i have received the favour of your letter informing me of the rights of neutrality of the barbary coast by some of the spanish privateers\u2026\u2026the fact is that the privateers boats on both sides are not very regular in their conduct, not very observant of the laws of neutrality when it suits their convenience or their interest to break them\u2026\u2026the reprisal made by the english boat - i cannot condemn after his captures being taken from him as they were - those things should not be encouraged - but if they were put a stop to by authority - or granting passports to spanish vessels - the spirit of that coasting warfare would be damped - and it is certainly very advantageous to gibraltar - as it employs a great number of ruffians who would otherwise be acting against us' (a.l.s. to green, 31 st july 1806), 'the most material business we have with him (the emperor of morocco) is the obtaining supplies, which we now do in abundance, but at a most enormous price\u2026..i am led to believe the high duty demanded of us is an extortion by the jews and others who are engaged in the contract\u2026..i have not heard from england since the beginning of august, but have little expectation of any favourable termination of the negociation at paris' (l.s. to green, 14 th september 1806), 'i have received your letter\u2026\u2026and am sorry to find the emperor should have been less accommodating than you had reason to expect\u2026\u2026but i am afraid remonstrating with him on the subject will not avail us & on the contrary, should he take it into his head to be displeased he may still impose higher duties, for these people are governed less by principles of interest than of momentary passion. he knew the duty was not paid in gun powder, but meant it to be understood as threatening that he would raise it, to what could not be paid\u2026\u2026lord lauderdale was still at paris, but with little hope of peace' (l.s. to green, 14 th october 1806), '\u2026..the emperor and his governors are not very liberal of any thing but fair promises - but they are a people who will always require a certain address to manage - and what we get - and is so necessary to us, is only to be done by yielding a little to their caprices\u2026..i am glad you could accommodate the affair of the\u2026.escape - but the owners of the boats should be informed that if their crews do illegal things in barbary - they must be subject to the law of that country - and not expect under\u2026..the english flag to be shielded from the punishment they deserve - being in an english vessel protects them in their lawful pursuits - not in the violations of the law of any country' (a.l.s. to green, 17 th november 1806), 'i am glad to hear from captain hornby that ash ash is coming to tangier. he has ever shown a disposition of kindness towards the english\u2026..when you visit him i will beg you to remonstrate with him against the assembling of\u2026\u2026privateers & gun vessels at tangier - where i am told ten or a dozen of them lie at a time waiting the opportunity to seize upon the english traders - which i consider as a breach of neutrality - at least not giving that security to the ports of the empire which friends expect to find\u2026\u2026' (a.l.s. to green, 6 th december 1806), 'the news from cadiz is at this time very interesting as their fleet seems to be in motion and preparing for sea. whatever you can collect relative to them, particularly if troops are embarked, and what number - i will be much obliged to you for. i am very glad to hear the governor ash ash seized on the privateers which took the bullock vessel - and beg you will assure him that on our part the strictest regard shall be paid to the neutrality of the emperor's dominions' (a.l.s. to green, 14 th february 1807), 'the spanish army is so much in want of the horses and mules which captain bullen was sent to tangier to endeavour to procure permission to export from barbary, that i have sent the redwing over to know how the negociation goes on, and whether there is much probability of its finally succeeding' (l.s. to green, 1 st july 1808), 'the application\u2026\u2026was communicated to me\u2026..when we were at war with spain - and the french threatening to get a possession in the emperor's dominion. it was due from the intimate connexion, and our friendship with the emperor, to avert so great a danger to his state - and if possible to find him in possession of a plan which would have afforded causes for his enemy (the french) to annoy him as they have done all other states - but affairs since that period have taken a great turn - spain is carrying on an active war - in the success of which the emperor is so far interested, or it will remove from him all apprehension from the intrigues of the french\u2026..the british government is doing what all legitimate and good governments ought to do - supporting a great station who desires peace, against a power which only exists by\u2026\u2026injustice. the emperor as the friend & promoter of human happiness - as the supporter of justice - and the defender of the oppressed is requested to give such assistance to this people, as his country can well afford - but under the circumstances in which spain is - it would be ungenerous to take advantage of her being engaged in a contest for national existence\u2026\u2026as things are, i can not propose anything to the spanish nation\u2026..that might effect their future interest - or their personal honour' (a.l.s. to green, 18 th july 1808), 'i am perfectly of your opinion that it is very doubtful whether the emperor will allow the spaniards to have anything from his country\u2026\u2026after two or three days partial action in which the spanish army was always victorious, on the 28 th the french army under dupont surrender prisoners of war. the division\u2026..i understand had just arrived to reinforce dupont's from peculiar circumstances which made such a measure necessary, were admitted to capitulation, by which it was agreed that themselves and their arms should be sent to cadiz\u2026..the french army amounted to 14 or 16000 men. the spanish to about 25,000\u2026..they conducted themselves like veterans. in every instance the spirit which the spanish people have manifested -

general. count bertrand and grand marshal of the palace. bertrand was aide-de-camp to napoleon i and the closest officer to the emperor who had full confidence in him. he served during the expedition to egypt and the battles of austerlitz, wagram, leipzig and waterloo and accompanied napoleon i to elba in 1814 and to saint helena in 1815. bertrand was condemned to death in 1816 but did not return

(1783-1853) french general during the napoleonic wars. he chose to go into exile on saint helena with napoleon i after the emperor´s second abdication. napoleon dictated to montholon the notes on his career, a trustworthy commentary on the events of the first part of his life. 1- to the first letter in the hand of montholon, he states in part ` doctor antommarchi qui aura l´honneur de remettre cette letter à v.m. a soigné l´empereur v. auguste époux dans la maladie à laquelle il a succombé. dans les derniers moments l´empereur nous a chargé de faire connaitre a v.m. qu´il la priait de faire

services to st. helene.\") further referring to another pension in favour of abbot vignali. 2- to the autograph letter signed by bertrand and also signed by montholon, they state in part ` madame,

able to give these letters to your majesty, because we did not have a secure way to do so. we are responsible for handing over to the prince your son when he will become adult various objects of the emperor.\") 3- to the third letter, bertrand explains few important matters to the empress, stating in part ` d´apres le code civil des lois françaises, un pere ne peut disposer que de la moitié de ses biens lorsqu´en mourant il laisse un fils; mais ces lois qui régissent les particuliers, ne furent point applicables au souverain don't les domaines étaient gouvernés par des lois spéciales. ce

these laws which govern individuals, were not applicable to the sovereign since the domains were governed by special laws. it is not to the widow and to the son of the emperor napoleon that it is necessary to say that for having lost his throne he had not, however, become a private individual; there are in the purple and in the holy and sacred unction, characters that never fade\") further pointing out the real situation and value of the legacy, stating in part ` v.m. pensera sans doute comme feu l´empereur son époux qu´après avoir commandé à l´univers et dispose de tant de trésors, ce n´était pas un heritage de quelques millions, qui fut bien précieux pour son fils\u2026 supplier v.m. d´observer que la somme que feu l´empereur a légué excedent beaucoup celles qui se trouvent

million, which was very precious for his son\u2026 we beg you to observe that the sum that the late emperor bequeathed greatly exceeds what is available\u2026\") 4- to the fourth letter, bertrand kindly requests prince metternich´s help to deliver a letter to the empress and expects his support to facilitate the execution of napoleon´s will. 5- to the fifth letter, bertrand states ` le plus illustre des captifs don't l´histoire puisse jamais faire mention, le genie immortel qui joignit a la gloire d´imposer silence a l´europe pendant un quart de siècle\u2026.. exprima dans les derniers jours de sa vie le désir que sa dépouille mortelle fut transportée dans un coin de la france; ses exécuteurs testamentaires avant de quitter londres addresserent au roi georges iv une requête a

to king george iv a request for the fulfilment of these wishes of the late emperor napoleon...\") 6- to the sixth letter, bertrand reminds and claims his family rights on a duchy according to the emperor´s decisions, referring to the treaty of fontainebleau and to napoleon´s last will and codicil. 7- to the seventh and last letter bertrand also asks metternich to help and get the approval of

winner for literature, 1953. sherwood robert (1896-1955) american playwright and screenwriter who served as a speechwriter for franklin d. roosevelt during world war ii. sherwood recounted the experience in his pulitzer prize winning book roosevelt and hopkins: an intimate history (1948). a fascinating archive of telegrams and letters between sherwood and lord beaverbrook, including (in chronological order) - \n \n (i) original typed telegram (received copy) from sherwood, one page, oblong 8vo, new york, 11 th june 1948, to lord beaverbrook, on the printed stationery of canadian pacific telegraphs, stating, in part, 'very anxious talk to you about urgent cable from eminent friend [winston s. churchill] in london raising furious questions about my book' , and asking if he can talk to beaverbrook the following morning. \n \n (ii) original typed telegram (received copy) from sherwood, one page, 4to, new york, 12 th june 1948, to lord beaverbrook, on the printed stationery of canadian national telegraphs, stating, in part, 'following is the text i referred to quote it would not be right for you to publish a detailed account of my conferences in moscow of august 1942. harry [hopkins] was not present your story is only based on the report of averell [harriman] a copy of which was found among harrys confidential papers stop this government should certainly be consulted before any such disclosures were made stop pray let me know whether you have already obtained consent of the president and state department as well as that of everell (sic) to the publication of these secret discussions unquote\u2026\u2026should greatly appreciate your views on the quoted portion of the message' . \n \n (iii) original typed telegram (received copy) from sherwood, two pages, 4to, new york, 16 th june 1948, to lord beaverbrook, on the printed stationery of canadian national telegraphs, again relaying a message from churchill, in part, 'last night i received a straight message cable\u2026.from kent as follows quote [i] have further considered your text and propose to submit it to h. m. government stop i do not think they will agree to the disclosures of the conference of august nineteen forty two i also object to this stop with regards to hopkins diary concerning [anthony] eden conversations with him it would be improper to publish these without eden's consent stop it does not rest with me to give you any permission to publish quotations from the various telegrams quoted from me to roosevelt hopkins and stalin stop these must belong to h. m. government stop finally i append in my following cable notes on matters of secondary importance some of which are merely disparaging to me personally or to my son others which are prejudicial to anglo american interests at the present time stop many of these are not founded on facts stop i feel confident that for your own reputation you will delay publication till these issues have been satisfactorily dealt with stop the present text would certainly lead to much painful controversy both official and personal\u2026..' , sherwood concluding by informing beaverbrook that he is seeking legal advice before replying 'to this amazing message' . \n \n (iv) t.l.s., bob , two pages, 4to, sutton place (new york), 16 th june 1948, to lord beaverbrook, marked personal and confidential . sherwood refers to his telegram and churchill's message to him and adds that somebody had tried to telephone him at 1.00am british time ( 'so perhaps there was an attempt made to telephone me from chartwell before the cable was despatched' ) and further remarking 'i am completely at a loss to understand what is \"disparaging\" to wsc personally but the reference to \"my son\" refers undoubtedly to something written by harry at casablanca, - a reference to randolph in a conversation with wsc\u2026.that is the kind of thing that i would have omitted had i been asked to do so in the usual, courteous manner' , also asking for beaverbrook's recollections of talks with harry hopkins in washington in july 1944, relative to a lend lease to great britain following v-e day, 'since harry's efforts as regards phase two were of tremendous importance in the light of events following roosevelt's death, i should certainly like to have more enlightenment on this subject' , and concluding by remarking that a first installment of the hopkins material has appeared in the sunday express and that ' it occurs to me as remotely possible that this\u2026..may have had something to do with the amazingly intemperate and ill-mannered outburst from chartwell' . \n \n (v) original typed telegram (received copy) from sherwood, one page, 4to, new york, 18 th june 1948, to lord beaverbrook, on the printed stationery of canadian national telegraphs. sherwood informs beaverbrook that he has received two more communications from churchill, which he proceeds to quote from, in part, 'i have not yet received an answer from you to my latest cable which is of an urgent character. in the meantime quite apart from our personal correspondence his majesty's government tells me that they have read the first installments of your work appearing in the sunday express and they note much confidential material is being used they are therefore making inquiries\u2026..as to whether the united states government have been consulted and what the book contains' , and also adds that he would very much welcome a telephone conversation with beaverbrook on the subject. \n \n (vi) original contemporary typed copy of a telegram from sherwood, one page, oblong 8vo, n.p. (new york), n.d. (21 st june 1948), to winston s. churchill. sherwood states that his ' detailed comments on your specific points' are being sent to churchill via air mail, although in the meantime clarifies that he will omit the references to randolph churchill, as well as churchill's own attitude toward press conferences and also eden's comments on the reception of speeches, adding 'as to stalin statement quoted by willkie i of course agree that the statement was a falsehood and this is exposed and refuted in my book\u2026\u2026however i shall be careful to insure this is entirely clear' and concluding by congratulating churchill on the reviews of the gathering storm . \n \n (vii) t.l.s., bob , one page, 4to, sutton place (new york), 23 rd june 1948, to lord beaverbrook, sending the copy of the final cable to churchill ( 'i have had no reply to this to date' ) and also referring to quotations he will be making from two letters written by beaverbrook to harry hopkins in october and november 1944. \n \n (viii) original typed telegram (received copy, on board r.m.s. queen mary ) from sherwood, one page, small 4to, new york, 25 th june 1948, to lord beaverbrook, on the printed stationery of the cunard white star international marine radio service radiogram. sherwood thanks beaverbrook for their message and remarks 'no further word from kent so perhaps the incident is closed until the appearance of book' . \n \n (ix) a.l.s., bob , two pages, 8vo, witley, surrey, 22 nd july 1948, to lord beaverbrook ( 'my dear max' ). sherwood thanks his correspondent for their permission to use a 'handsome tribute' to his book which had appeared in harper's ( 'that should sell copies if nothing else will' ) and further thanks him for his help in providing 'a most capable and industrious secretary' , before concluding 'i have heard nothing further from the state department nor have any c.i.d. men turned up here as yet with orders from the foreign office to clap me in the tower' . \n \n together with two other related pieces. a remarkable grouping of extraordinary content relating to churchill's attempted censorship, on both a political and personal level, of robert sherwood. file holes to the left edges of each document, only very slightly affecting a few words of text, and with some light overall age wear, generally about vg, 11 \n \n harry hopkins (1890-1946) american statesman and presidential advisor, a trusted deputy to franklin d. roosevelt, serving as his chief foreign policy advisor and liaison to allied leaders during world war ii. \n \n randolph churchill (1911-1968) english journalist, writer, soldier and politician, the only son of winston churchill. randolph churchill did not always endear himself to fellow officers and individuals close to his father (who adored him) during his service in world war ii. indeed, in 1940, jock colville, secretary to winston churchill, wrote 'i thought randolph one of the most objectionable people i had ever met; noisy, self-assertive, whining and frankly unpleasant. he did not strike me as intelligent' \n \n the pulitzer prize winning american historian and author henry f. pringle (1897-1958) wrote in his review of sherwood's roosevelt and hopkins: an intimate history , 'the months which have elapsed since the publication of this remarkable book give some opportunity to judge its actual value, both as history and as the biography of one of the most astonishing figures of our time\u2026\u2026the final appraisal of this life and times of harry l. hopkins must await, as mr. sherwood would surely agree, the remaining volumes from the eloquent pen of winston churchill\u2026\u2026.all these, other books as yet unknown and further examination of the papers of franklin d. roosevelt - not to mention appraisal of enemy sources - will determine the final judgments of world war ii. but at this stage it is safe to state categorically that mr. sherwood's book tells more, and tells it better, more honestly and more vividly, than any other single book on this most terrible of wars. from the viewpoint of the historian, it may be noted, the fact that roosevelt and hopkins was written at all raises interesting and provocative questions\u2026\u2026this reviewer was informed, in the very recent past, that top secret and secret classifications still applied to information which reflected discredit on high-ranking military leaders\u2026..the point of interest in mr. sherwood's book is that the author, a civilian, was able to bypass all such restrictions through the fact of having access to mr. hopkins' papers' ."},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"991","title":{"es":"[churchill winston s.]: (1874-1965) british prime minister 1940-45,

world war ii ace (22.5 victories), recognized for his important role during the battle of britain. book signed and inscribed, being a hardback edition of reach for the sky - the story of douglas bader by paul brickhill, published by collins, london, fifth impression, july 1954. signed by bader in blue fountain pen ink to the front free endpaper, 'to jim cruttenden, incorrectly called 'jack' in this book. a man of sussex & not an \u201caussie\u201d, from douglas bader' , and dated 15 th march 1954 in his hand. accompanied by the dust jacket (price clipped). a remarkable association copy. some age wear to the dust jacket and a band of light foxing to the left edge of the front free endpaper, only very slightly affecting the inscription, but not bader's signature. g \n bader joined the royal air force in 1928 and was commissioned two year later. in december 1931, while attempting some aerobatics at woodley airfield during a visit to reading aero club, bader crashed his bulldog aircraft and was rushed to the royal berkshire hospital where, in the hands of a prominent surgeon, both his legs were amputated. \n jim cruttenden provided crucial support for bader in the immediate aftermath of the crash and the important journey to hospital, as brickhill recounts in reach for the sky, 'jack cruttenden\u2026.an australian student pilot at the club, found he could not lift bader out of the crushed cockpit. he started tearing at bits of the wreckage\u2026..someone brought a hacksaw and cut away a twisted centre-section strut. bader partly came to and sensed more than knew that cruttenden was gently lifting him out. consciousness was lapping and receding in waves, he was lying on the grass. someone was taking his shoes off. cruttenden's hands were doing something to his right knee: they felt very strong and were covered in blood. he felt no pain. a little to one side two white doors with red crosses opened and the crosses went out of sight. he supposed it was an ambulance. then he was lying in it on a stretcher\u2026.he tried to sit up but could not get very far\u2026..the legs of his overalls and trousers had gone somewhere, and cruttenden's fingers seemed to be in his right knee (holding the femoral artery)\u2026..he could feel the ambulance was moving and wanted to see what was happening outside. he said to cruttenden: \u201clook, i think i'll get up now. i want to get out of here\u201d. he started struggling up on his elbows and cruttenden said: \u201ctake it easy. won't be long now\u201d. bader said petulantly: \u201coh, to hell with this. i want to get out now. this is damn silly\u201d. he tried to struggle up again, and cruttenden took one hand from the knee and pressed it gently against his chest to hold him down. being held down by a stranger was irritating. he twisted a shoulder off the stretcher, hooked his right fist up and hit cruttenden on the chin. he felt he could not hit very hard lying down. cruttenden, looking at him with a pacifying grin, said: \u201cease it up, mate\u201d. having hit him, bader felt suddenly feeble and foolish. but honour was satisfied - he's made the gesture - and anyway he'd completely lost interest in getting up now. he lay back and did not remember any more' . \n having been on the brink of death, bader recovered, retook flight training, passed his check flights and then requested reactivation as a pilot, although was retired against his will on medical grounds. after the outbreak of world war ii in 1939, however, bader returned to the raf and was accepted as a pilot. he scored his first victories over dunkirk during the battle of france in 1940 and then participated in the battle of britain."},"estimateMax":600,"lotNumber":"1001","title":{"es":"bader douglas: (1910-1982) british fighter pilot, a

the rule: i lead the movement alone, and no one shall set me conditions so long as i personally bear the responsibility. and i once more bear entire responsibility for everything that happens in the movement' (extract from adolf hitler's two-hour speech delivered at the burgerbraukeller, munich, 27 th february 1925) \n hitler joined the tiny german workers party in 1919, he quickly became its leader. on 9 november 1923, at the height of the great german inflation (on 20 november, one u.s. dollar was equal to four trillion german marks), hitler risked a coup. he led his followers through the streets of munich to the feldherrnhalle, a war memorial, where waiting police opened fire. sixteen of hitler's followers were killed; hitler himself was arrested, and after a trial that he turned into a political platform, he was sentenced to four years in prison. the party was banned, and its remnants degenerated into squabbling factions. hitler stood outside the fray, using his time in prison to write mein kampf. he was released in december 1924 after serving only nine months of his term, and set about rebuilding the party. the authorities lifted the ban on the nazi party on 16 february 1925. hitler now arranged one of his rhetorical masterpieces: a mass meeting on 27 february to re-establish the party. he chose the same beer hall from which he had launched his abortive revolution fifteen months earlier. three thousand people packed the hall, and several thousand more were turned away. he entered to the passionate applause of the audience, and gave [a] two hour speech\u2026.its first three-quarters offered nothing that most in the audience had not already heard, and would hear again in hitler's future speeches. he reviewed germany's history, claiming that past conservative parties had no contact with the masses, and that leftist parties pretended to address the problems faced by ordinary germans, but actually served the interests of the jews who controlled them. he also outlined his views on propaganda. in the last quarter of the speech, he moved to re-establish his control of the party. he claimed absolute authority. anyone unwilling to obey could go his own way. hitler 'forgave' those who had made mistakes in his absence, and demanded that there be no criticism of him or the party for a year. the audience responded with enthusiasm. after the speech, hitler had arranged\u2026..'a piece of pure theatre'. the nazi leaders who had fought for supremacy while hitler was in prison all 'mounted the platform and, among emotional scenes, with many standing on chairs and tables and the crowd pressing forward from the back of the hall, shook hands, forgave each other, and swore undying loyalty to the leader'\u2026\u2026the speech succeeded.

(still present) herewith together with my photo (also still present) with which i hope you will be contented\u2026..at last, as i have promised you through the micraphone that i will pay another visit to italy especially for you\u2026.' (14 th april 1951), 'although i have met you very frequently on the air, and although your manner has been kind and friendly towards me, i do not flatter myself that you are aware of the sincere affection i entertain for you, an affection which now emboldens me to write to you and to tell you that the hope of the gaining your love has been for the last two days in my mind. should i be so fortunate as to win your regard and love, your happiness should be my one thought and care and you should not regret having entrusted it to my keeping. i shall await your answer with the greatest impatience. if you can give me hope, hasten to put an end to my doubts, and make me the happiest of men\u2026..i was always looking for you and was trying to catch you on the air\u2026..on that day when i heard your sweet voice, my heart jumps from its place and flew with your voice on the air, and i am sure that you are now holding my heart with both of your hands\u2026.you are the most lovely and beautiful girl i have ever seen in my life, although i hav'nt yet seen you; be sure that i fell in deep love with you from the first moment i got you on the air\u2026\u2026the temperature of my love is increasing terribly, as when i heard your sweet voice, i was about to get mad especially when you began to give some arabic words as you have a very sweet and excellent pronunciation\u2026.' (16 th april 1951), 'i am in receipt of your precious letter\u2026.and if you were with me when i fixed my eyes on your photos you would consider me as a mad man\u2026..i was not able at all to collect my thoughts\u2026.as i began to give cries and shouts and was unable to control myself. very nice and wanderful photos. yes, i imagined you are a beautiful and wanderful girl\u2026.you have a chin that is small in size if resolute in form, and a mouth that is not noticeably soft and week because it is conspicuously soft and pretty. your nose is delicately aquiline and very subtly and finely modeled, and you look out upon the world with steady grey-blue eyes. your abundance of gold-red hair flowed back very prettily from your broad forehead and over your delicate ears and you have that warm-tinted clear skin that goes so well with reddish hair. you have a very dainty neck and from these conditions i imagine that the long slender lines of your body are full of the promise of riper beauty\u2026..regarding my visit to you, believe me i am waiting for the permission from my father h. majesty the king, and as soon as i get this permission\u2026.be sure that i will fly to you\u2026.' (8 th may 1951), in the next letter recounting a passionate dream, with dialogue between himself and his lover, and further adding 'we gone to my garden. while we are passing by some beautiful blossoming flowers, a green rose jumps up and speaks in a musical tone, \u201cwhat a beautiful lovely girl you have, black blue eyes with half sleep looks, curly hair, charming libs and well built body. congratulations that you knew how to choose your lady\u201d. (pauss) i replied, \u201cyes, she is my lady and for me alone\u201d. the rose, \u201ckiss her, yes kiss her and do not let anyone to take her from you\u201d. (kisses). then back to my shack room\u2026.' (13 th june 1951), 'love is not an easy word to express. when somebody loves, it is not on his own wish but it is an inside feeling concerning only the heart and no body has got a control on his heart. therefore when i say i love you, it means that i do and it comes out from the bottom of my heart\u2026.believe me that you are the first one who has wounded this heart with the black arrow of your lovely eyes. my heart was closed with a very strong lock, but when i heard your sweet voice, i felt something else that changed my life\u2026..' (22 nd july 1951), 'i am still considering our love as a blossoming rose, and that i have much time to enjoy this rose\u2026..darling, the only thing i want from you is not to think and consider that it is a beautiful flower indeed but very frail. excuse me to say that you are mistaken in all what you have said. it is a beautiful dream our meeting together in somewhere, but i am satisfied to wait and see if dreams ever do come true\u2026..' (25 th march 1952), 'when we left you we took the boat to cairo. there we spent one month during which period we saw all the italian magazines which have been translated and what was advertised about me and you was shameful according to my being. it was foolish of them to write such things which proved that the newspapers men are impolite and interfearers in other affairs. don't you think so dear love? no body in the world can do what he likes or can enjoy himself without meeting any troubles. i never had an idea of the italian press being so worst and always writing nonsence. what we can do is to keep scilent and say nothing towards this matter. it was very nice and beautiful to be able to see you\u2026..i cannot express my feelings towards our wanderful meeting at your place. our dreams were fulfilled, but in a cruel way which we don't like. the only important matter is, i saw you\u2026..i have changed my name on the air for private sole reasons which i cannot say to anyone\u2026.' (16 th october 1952), 'your question about my feelings after our short meeting has got a wanderful effect on my heart\u2026..i was thinking before our meeting and in rome, of what our meeting would be. is it a meeting of between two lovers or is it just between two radio hams and nothing more or less. alas, it was as i said in the second belief\u2026..what you were doing was forcing me to follow the family formalities. sweety, i was not expecting that from you, i was expecting that maria will meet me in the airport alone, take our dinner in one of the restaurant there and you should have made a program for my stay with you in order to spend beautiful time alone without the interferance of others. but as i didn't find anything of the sort, i urged my getting back to rome, being truthful i must have to do that\u2026..as to what was written about me in the newspaper, i beg you to forget it as it is something passed which needs no more discussion. i was not surprised of their being aware of my visit to you, because there were many curious paper men in the hotel where i was staying, so they knew my arrival in sardinia\u2026..' (6 th november 1952), 'my beloved, you are my dream and i shall always be yours\u2026.i have a single track mind and it all leads to you. each night before i snap off the lamp i throw you a warm kiss and bid you goodnight. then i go to my bed and hold the pillow and again say - goodnight my dearest love - i miss you and want you\u2026.' (14 th december 1952), 'sweetheart, when i read your words i feel very warm as if i am holding you between my arms impressing you very close to me and whispering how much i do love you\u2026.love means so very much to me, but being apart makes me unhappy. we must be patient until dreams are fulfilled\u2026.' (13 th april 1953), '\u2026..we talked about my departure to transjordan, lebanon, syria, egypt and then to the french reveira. i asked you to meet there according to the promis between us. but you answered that you have two things that forbid you to come\u2026.the first thing is of my future\u2026.the second is your trip to the states. infact the first cause is not true, as there are many things that i should explain to you in order to make you contented\u2026\u2026anyhow, in case you will not leave to the states, i ask you to promis me to come to the reveira, to meet each other\u2026..' (19 th april 1953), 'the latest orally connection after a long absence has affected me very much, i hope our relation will be more strong in the future\u2026..regarding my marriage, i descrip it to you as follows: you know very well that since a long time i was thinking to marry. before a year & few months i was in lebanon, and accidentally i met a lebanease lady, egyptian origin, immediately i was in love with her, therefore, i decided to marry her, and when she accepted, we have done the necessary wedding formalities just after few months of our first meeting. indeed i am very pleased with her and always we are anxious to have children\u2026..i donot expect that my marriage will be invincible of standing a relation between both of us, this is in my mind\u2026\u2026in case of your agree to continue our relation, i request you to please do that by a very secret ways, i mean not to let anybody whatever he is, to know, for the apprehension of my wife to know, otherwise, perhaps unpraiseworthy will happen\u2026..if i know that you are agree of my above stated suggestions, i will continue and i will be as you know me before' (3 rd february 1956), the final letter, sending a typescript copy of the 3 rd february 1956 letter, appears to end the relationship, 'so, till that time nothing i can say, except, god bye and million kisses' (20 th may 1956). many of the letters are on attractive personal printed stationery and most are accompanied by the original envelopes. together with two telegrams (received copies) from the prince to maria marras, an a.l.s. by saad abdul-aziz al saud, the prince's cousin, in arabic (accompanied by an italian translation) and also including seventeen photographs of various sizes (the largest 9 x 14), most featuring prince talal in various poses (some showing him hunting with hawks), nine of which are either signed by him, sometimes to the verso, or annotated in his hand, and several signed photographs of other family members including abdullah bin abdulaziz al saud (1924-2015) king and prime minister of saudi arabia 2005-15. further including a group of newspaper clippings relating to the romance between the prince and maria marras, the majority from italian journals, reporting on the prince presenting her with a gold plated radio antenna etc. some light overall age wear, a few minor tears and some light creasing to the photographs, g to generally vg, qty."},"estimateMax":300,"lotNumber":"1199","title":{"es":"[saudi arabia]: talal bin abdulaziz al saud (1931-2018) saudi arabian prince, politician, dissident,..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/21827/lot/121965/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":200,"soldPrice":2800,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:12:27.744Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac200 -

that a neapolitan brig of war here has received orders to proceed & join the others at tangier\u2026\u2026.the large quantity of british capital in foreign ports & consequently of shipments on british account, distributed in the ships of all nations expose british interests to be affected indirectly by any depredations committed on cargoes under the hanseatic or neapolitan flag & indeed under almost every flag. it is true that the british property would be restored but the damage - the loss of market & additional charges absorb the profit on the adventure, if they do not produce a loss. the only security for british as well as foreign commerce in the mediterranean & on the european coasts bordering on the atlantic is by the dismantling of the piratical vessels which it is hoped will be inforced & immediately follow the settlement of the neapolitan question' (29 th may 1834) \n \n 'the senate of hamburgh is\u2026..of opinion that as experience has shewn that it is as yet difficult, perhaps impossible to abolish the piratical system and as morocco in particular will probably not be brought for some time to alter her system, the hanseatic negociation must be persevered in, with a view to a final settlement. in what way this can be best done, you are the most competent judge, in the first instance of course abstaining from doing anything unless it shall seem that some concealed intention is about to be realized to molest our hanseatic commerce or in case of threatening from the emperor's ministers to express the desire of the senates to renew the negociation with a view to bring it to a satisfactory termination\u2026\u2026they [the hanseatic towns] cannot but confidently rely on your experienced judgment & diplomatic tact still to shield them from any hostile measures and trust that the piratical vessels in question will be dismantled forthwith as the best earnest of security' (1 st june 1834) \n \n 'i trust that the appearance of the neapolitan fleet off tangier & the seeming support given to it by a french force will set the question of the risk of the morocco flotilla putting to sea at rest -
