New York. 1970. [8]pp. Large folio. Previously folded. Tanned. About very good. A newspaper published by the Committee to Defend the Panther 21 that broadly states the goals of the Black Panther movement and prints a long letter on the unfairness of the charges against the Panthers, addressed to the judge in charge, John Murtagh. The Panther 21 were accused of conspiring to kill police officers and bomb a number of buildings in New York City in 1970. Although at the time the trial was the longest and the costliest in the history of the state of New York, the twenty-one accused were acquitted on all charges. The newspaper was also printed in the context of the Black Panther trials that were occurring at the same time in New Haven, Ct., where nine Panthers were charged with involvement in the murder of one of their members, Alex Rackley, who had been suspected of being an FBI informant. The back page of the paper publicizes a three-day event for the beginning of May to protest the trial, with a headline that reads: “The People Charge Yale with Complicity in the Frame-up of the New Haven 9.” The program from the boasted speeches from Artie Seale, wife of Black Panthers president Bobby Seale (who was one of the accused on trial), and French writer Jean Genet, and music performed by Santana. These events led directly to the May Day riots in New Haven on May 1, 1970, the height of student unrest at Yale in the period, famously alluded to by the Doors in their song, “Peace Frog”: “Blood in the streets of the town of New Haven....” $750.

Bright and clean internally. Very good. Byng was assigned to command a squadron of ten British ships sent to defend Gibraltar and Minorca from the French. He was charged with cowardice, allegedly having delayed his departure from St. Helen’s to Gibraltar, thereby arriving after the French had taken Minorca, and failing to wage a proper offense against their fleet. This publication prints his orders, his account of his actions, testimony at the trial, Byng’s defense, and the findings of the court on each charge. Byng was found guilty and sentenced to be shot to death. After some efforts to repeal the sentence, it was finally carried out. The case was a cause célèbre in England, where many thought the Admiral was railroaded for political reasons. It was so famous that there were Boston and New York editions published the same year.

The remainder of the printed caption tells the story: “John Jenkins, a Sidney [sic] man entered the store of Mr. V on long Wharf in the evening of 10th of June & carried off a sale. After he was captured he was brought to the corner of Sansome & Bush Sts. where he was tried by a jury of the highest respect- ability, and condemned to be hung. The execu- tion took place on the Plaza on the same night at 2 o’clock. Immediately after sentence of death was passed upon him, he was asked if he had anything to say. He replied: No, I have nothing to say, only I should wish to have a cigar & brandy & water, which was given him.” This moody lithographic illustration is done in an almost impressionistic style, with dark clouds obscuring the moonlit night, crowds Vigilance Committee Letter Sheet of shadowy, cheering on-lookers, and Jenkins’ body hanging from a rafter that forms part of a large cross at one end of the Custom House. “No series of events 4.

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.

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.
