Uaunton BARNICOTT &- PEARCE, ATHEN^UM PRESS 1907 BARNICOTT AND PEARCE PRINTERS Preface. T is usual to write something as a preface, and this generally appears to be to make some excuse for having written at all. In a pre- face to Tom Toole and his Friends — a very interesting book published a few years ago, by Mrs. Henry Sandford, in which the poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, together with the Wedgwoods and many other eminent men of that day figure,—the author says, on one occasion, when surrounded by old letters, note books, etc., an old and faithful servant remon- " " strated with her thus : And what for ? she " demanded very emphatically. There's many a hundred dozen books already as nobody ever reads." Her hook certainly justified her efforts, and needed no excuse. But what shall I say of this } What for do 1 launch this little book, which only refers to the parish ot Mylor ^ vi Preface. The great majority of us are convinced that the county of our birth is the best part of Eng- land, and if we are folk country-born, that our parish is the most favoured spot in it. With something of this idea prompting me, I have en- deavoured to look up all available information and documents, and elaborate such by personal recollections and by reference to authorities.

    Richard Elmore’s Letters to the Earl of Darnley Edited and with an introduction by Caoimhín de Bhailís Richard Elmore M.D. M.R.C.S. Attributed to Alfred Elmore, R.A. (Private collection) 1 John Bligh, 4th Earl of Darnley Attributed to Thomas Phillips, National Trust Mount Stewart, Scotland. 2 Introduction Richard John Elmore is one of the many nineteenth century political campaigners who have fallen out of view and hence consideration when we discuss the history of the period. Elmore was an activist who made valuable contributions to the debate on Catholic Emancipation and also a campaigner that sought improvements in the economic relationships that existed between Ireland and the rest of the then United Kingdom, as Ireland was a part of the Empire at the time. He was a close friend of Daniel O‘Connell and a director of the National Irish Bank; he was a defender of his Catholic business associates and, for a period, a major employer of linen workers at his factory n Clonakilty, Co. Cork. Richard as born in around 1785 and took his first appointment as a hospital assistant with the 1st Garrison Battalion in January 1807.1 According to Elmore he had moved to Clonakilty around 1807 with the intention of practicing as a physician, however he could ill afford to continue to practice as he often had to provide his services without charging a fee due to the poverty amongst the peasantry and he was ‗obliged frequently to put my hand into my own pocket; no man could possibly avoid it that possessed one spark of humanity in his 1 WO 25/75/92.

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.

This family legend has led me on two quests, to search for my roots and to find Admiral Benbow. William A. Benbow Victoria, B.C. June 1988. ADMIRAL JOHN BENBOW Benbow! On the roll of fame Thine stands forth a honoured name; Britain mourned her gallant son, Wilst recounting trophies won; England’s Queen with pity moved Mourned the hero England loved. Many a year has passed since then, Many a race of gifted men: Heroes, statesmen, princes, kings, Borne on Time’s relentless wings In their turn have passed away, Mingling with their kindred clay. Yet the memory of the brave Dies not with the opening grave, But like some sweet perfume cast Lives, all fragrant, to the last.

  • Captains of Hms Ajax 1 John Carter Allen
    CAPTAINS OF HMS AJAX 1 JOHN CARTER ALLEN: CAPTAIN OF HMS AJAX from 27 MAY 1770 to 6 JUNE 1771 and from JUNE to 23 AUGUST 1779 John Carter Allen was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 14 June 1745 and to that of Commander on 15 April 1757. He was appointed to the Grampus sloop in command, and towards the end of the same year captured a large privateer. He was soon after posted to a large 6th-rate on the Mediterranean station. He was promoted to the rank of Post Captain on 21 March 1758, and appointed to the Experiment, but in August 1760, he was transferred to the Repulse frigate on the Halifax station, and took part, under Mr Byron, in the attack and destruction of three French frigates and a considerable number of small craft in Chalem Bay. The Repulse then joined the West India fleet, and continued on that station until the end of hostilities. In 1763 the Repulse was laid-up. John Allen did not hold any further commissions until May 1770, when he was appointed to the Ajax, 74. This was the ship's first commission, and she, together with the Ramillies, Defence, Centaur, and Rippon, 74's, embarked the 30th Regiment of Foot at Cork and transported them to Gibraltar. Soon after the Ajax was laid-up, and it was not until 1777 that Captain Allen was appointed to the Albion, and in the following year to the Egmont. When the Channel Fleet returned from Ushant, he once more assumed command of the Ajax, refitting at Portsmouth.
