From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

Thesis submitted for Philosophy Doctor degree The University of Saint Andrews Maritime Studies 1996 EC A UNI L/ rJ ý t\ jxý DF, ÄNý Jorge Ortiz-Sotelo Peru and the British Naval Station ABSTRACT The protection of British interests in the Pacific was the basic reason to detach a number of Royal Navy's vessels to that Ocean during the Nineteenth Century. There were several British interests in the area, and an assorted number of Britons established in Spanish America since the beginning of the struggle for Independence. Amongst them, merchants was perhaps the most important and influential group, pressing on their government for protection to their trade. As soon as independence reached the western coast of America, a new space was created for British presence. First Valparaiso and afterwards Callao, British merchants were soon firmly established in that part of South America. As had happened in the Atlantic coast, their claims for protection were attended by the British government through the Pacific Squadron, under the flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the South American Station, until 1837, when it was raised to a separate Station.

COMPILED BY Lieut.-Colonel Sir ARTHUR LEETHAM, F.S.A. (Curator). FOURTH EDITION. Printed for the Council of THE ROYAL UNITED SERVICE INSTITUTION by J. J. KELIHER & Co., LIMITED, Craven House, Kingsway, and Marshalsea Works, Southwark. 1914 PRICE ONE SHILLING. to Ufa PREFACE.131* In the Compilation of this Catalogue I have endeavoured to provide, in as concise a form as possible, a book which will be of general historical interest to the many thousands of Visitors who annually come to see the Museum. Having regard to the nature of the Museum (especially the vast field of Naval and Military History which it covers), the limited space, and the consequent necessity of having at times to' remove certain objects in order to exhibit others, it was found quite impos- sible to classify the numerous exhibits under groups or collections : but the index, which has been added, is of an exhaustive nature and will assist the Visitor in readily finding the objects of special interest. I would point out that the value of a work of this kind lies in its accuracy, and should any mistakes have crept into its pages in the course of compilation and printing, I hope they will be pointed out to me, that they may be rectified in future editions. In the first edition of this Catalogue I was greatly indebted to the assistance which I received from Mr.

Captured by Anglo-Dutch forces in 1704, Britain formally acquired this Mediterranean possession in 1713. Shortly after its acquisition, Britons embraced the territory as their own, proclaiming it to be a “bulwark” of Great Britain and “bastion” of Britishness. However, the reality on the ground belied such rhetoric. British Gibraltar was in actuality a Mediterranean meeting ground, bringing together peoples, ideas, and goods from across the region. The vast majority of the town’s population was comprised of foreign migrants who settled in Gibraltar seeking the many opportunities that the British garrison offered. These individuals brought with them a variety of cultural, religious, and political identities that impacted the growth and development of the territory, creating a multi-cultural space that was both produced by and participated in the Mediterranean world. These foreign bodies and their foreign mores also impacted the governance of the territory.
