  • The Death of Captain Cook in Theatre 224
    The Many Deaths of Captain Cook A Study in Metropolitan Mass Culture, 1780-1810 Ruth Scobie PhD University of York Department of English April 2013 i Ruth Scobie The Many Deaths of Captain Cook Abstract This thesis traces metropolitan representations, between 1780 and 1810, of the violent death of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to these representations, in order to show how the interlinked texts of a nascent commercial culture initiated the creation of a colonial character, identified by Epeli Hau’ofa as the looming “ghost of Captain Cook.” The introduction sets out the circumstances of Cook’s death and existing metropolitan reputation in 1779. It situates the figure of Cook within contemporary mechanisms of ‘celebrity,’ related to notions of mass metropolitan culture. It argues that previous accounts of Cook’s fame have tended to overemphasise the immediacy and unanimity with which the dead Cook was adopted as an imperialist hero; with the result that the role of the scene within colonialist histories can appear inevitable, even natural. In response, I show that a contested mythology around Cook’s death was gradually constructed over the three decades after the incident took place, and was the contingent product of a range of texts, places, events, and individuals. The first section examines responses to the news of Cook’s death in January 1780, focusing on the way that the story was mediated by, first, its status as ‘news,’ created by newspapers; and second, the effects on Londoners of the Gordon riots in June of the same year.

  • TA22 Catalog Session Vb Medals.Indd
    e Admiral Vernon Medals of 1739 and 1741 by Daniel Frank Sedwick If the heart of collecting is visual and intellectual stimulation mixed with historical study, then the “Admiral Vernon” medals crafted in England in the period 1739-1741 are the perfect collectibles. e sheer number of di erent varieties of these medals makes collecting them both challenging and feasible. Fascination with these historic pieces has spawned more than a dozen studies over the past 180+ years, culminating in the book Medallic Portraits of Admiral Vernon (2010), by John Adams and Fernando Chao (the “AC” reference we quote in our lot descriptions). With this well-illustrated book alone, one can spend many enjoyable hours attributing each piece down to exact die details. e biggest challenge with these medals is condition, as they were heavily used and abused, which makes the present o ering comprising the collection of Richard Stuart an exceptional opportunity. e con! ict began with the capture and torture of the British merchant ship captain Robert Jenkins by the Spanish o Havana, Cuba, in 1731. His alleged punishment for smuggling was the removal of one of his ears, which he physically produced for British Parliament in 1739, setting o what became known as the “War of Jenkins’ Ear” starting that year, e ectively “Great Britain’s " rst protracted naval war in the Americas.” 1 In a burst of vengeful braggadocio, the experienced British admiral Edward Vernon reportedly said he could take the Spanish port of Portobelo, Panama, “with six ships only,” the larger goal being to disrupt the ! ow of Spanish shipping of treasure from the New World.

  • Bookfare No 1
    BookFare The Newsletter of the Australian & New Zealand Association of Antiquarian Booksellers April 2011 / #1 This is the first issue of our new electronic newsletter BookFare. Over the last few months ANZAAB members have been very busy participating in and visiting many book fairs in Australia and overseas. In this newsletter you will find several reports on these fairs, a calendar of upcoming fairs and auctions, notices of recent catalogues by our members and news on members‟ activities. The lead articles in this issue are about a new book by one ANZAAB member about another! This is what Californian bookseller John Windle had to say about the book: “I just finished reading "Rare: A Life among Antiquarian Books" by Stuart Kells. It is a remarkable, and very enjoyable, chronicle of the emergence of a woman in our trade, and an Australian at that. The obstacles that Kay and her family dealt with to create, grow, and sustain a viable business on an international scale were enormous; the book tells of her perseverance, courage, and sense of humour especially in dealing with the "old-school" dealers who were less than accepting of a woman in their world. How she rose not only to local, national, and international prominence, but to be President of the ILAB is a tale well worth reading and a shining example of how a lot of hard work and a bit of luck lead to results that are as well deserved as they are extraordinary.” John Windle, Antiquarian Bookseller, San Francisco, CA.

January 2014 An ear, a man from Gipuzkoa in the Basque Country and 190 boats. We all know that military interests are tightly bound to economic interests. We are equally aware that Spain has a military past in which defeats stand out and the victories are relatively few. Here is a story that allowed the push that the colonies gave to the Spanish economy to be maintained and which facilitated the independence of the United States. In 1738, with the War of the Spanish Succession at an end, it was now obvious that the Spanish Empire was fi nding it increasingly diffi cult to jointly maintain trade and defend the Latin American strongholds, especially in the Caribbean. Bouts of piracy and smuggling were becoming more frequent and were urged by the King of England, who looked at it as an undeclared war of attrition against the Bourbons, his main enemies who now occupied both the French and Spanish throne. However, given the Spanish weakness in the area was more and more evident, the feeling in the Caribbean was ripe with pre-war tension with pirates and English corsairs placing increasing pressure on the merchants fl ying the Spanish fl ag.

  • Naval Documents of the American Revolution, Volume 1, Part 8

EUROPEAN THEATRE From June 29, 1775, to Aug. 9, 1775 EUROPEAN THEATRE From June 29, 1775, to August 9, 1775 SUMMARY Even the news of Lexington had not aroused George I11 or his Ministers to the seriousness of the revolt in the American colonies. Were not three major generals and three more regiments of infantry already on the high seas to rein- force Thomas Gage's force? And had not the Admiralty been ordered to aug- ment Samuel Graves's squadron by such a number of frigates as would suffice to secure obedience to the Restrictive Acts recently enacted, and prevent succour from the southern colonies reaching New England? Hhere seemed little doubt in the British mind that with "One tolerable Drubbing," rebel resistance would collapse. Warnings from Whig leaders that conquest would not be so simple, and that possible loss of the American colonies would leave the Empire an easy prey to revengeful France, were discounted as political clap-trap. France was in no position to capitalize upon the American troubles, and her partner, Spain, engrossed in the Mediterranean, could be discounted entirely. So thought the Ministry. As far as concerned Spain, this conclusion was justified.

  • Freedom by Reaching the Wooden World: American Slaves and the British Navy During the War of 1812
    Freedom by Reaching the Wooden World: American Slaves and the British Navy during the War of 1812. Thomas Malcomson Les noirs américains qui ont échappé à l'esclavage pendant la guerre de 1812 l'ont fait en fuyant vers les navires de la marine britannique. Les historiens ont débattu de l'origine causale au sein de cette histoire, en la plaçant soit entièrement dans les mains des esclaves fugitifs ou les Britanniques. L'historiographie a mis l'accent sur l'expérience des réfugiés dans leur lieu de réinstallation définitive. Cet article réexamine la question des causes et se concentre sur la période comprise entre le premier contact des noirs américains qui ont fuit l'esclavage et la marine britannique, et le départ définitif des ex-esclaves avec les Britanniques à la fin de la guerre. L'utilisation des anciens esclaves par les Britanniques contre les Américains en tant que guides, espions, troupes armées et marins est examinée. Les variations locales en l'interaction entre les esclaves fugitifs et les Britanniques à travers le théâtre de la guerre, de la Chesapeake à la Nouvelle-Orléans, sont mises en évidence. As HMS Victorious lay at anchor in Lynnhaven Bay, off Norfolk, in the early morning hours of 10 March 1813, a boat approached from the Chesapeake shore.1 Its occupants, nine American Black men drew the attention of the sailors in the guard boat circling the 74 gun ship. The men were runaway slaves. After a cautious inspection, the guard boat’s crew towed them to the Victorious where the nine Black men climbed up the ship’s side and entered freedom.
