Smitton/27 June 1832”, slight staining and a little fragile. William Smitten is recorded on the crew list of the whaler “John & Edward” as being of 23 years of age and born in Waterford. A very rare early item from the period prior to the reassertion of British Crown authority. Photo also on inside front cover. £4,000-£5,000

†430 ✉ 1839 (Nov.) printed prices current from Rio de Janeiro to Robert Crowgey (Accountant to the Legation of H.M. the Emperor of Brazils in London and author of “Crowgey’s Universal Calculator and General International Accountant”) in Liverpool with framed “SHIP LETTER/COWES”, containing a fascinating handwritten detailed proposal for colonisation of the Falkland Islands in which East Falkland would belong to a Commission or Company “to remain a noble island to which neither convict, or one that ever had been one, shall ever be allowed admittance”, West Falkland “to be a Military and Naval Station” whilst “All the small islands shall be reserved for Penal Establishments exclusively”. “I write you this so hurriedly because I am just informed that Mr. Lowray the late Land Governor down at Falklands is going suddenly home tomorrow” the sender urges Crowgey to hasten publication of the proposal as, among other advantages, the plan would certainly “overawe the French”. Ten days before the arrival of the letter on Jan. 24 1840 the Colonial Land and Emigration Commission was created and in August produced a report in which the advanced development of the islands as a colony was advocated - including a penal colony.
