Unsigned, and with two emendations made at the end of the letter. The handwriting does not appear to be Cornwallis s. Begins: Sir, / I wrote to you for their Lordships information from Madeira, but the Anchorage there not being very safe at this season, and the weather threatening, I thought it most advisable to proceed to this Island to take in Wine and Water for the Ships, which is nearly completed, and I hope to sail to-morrow. He explains that as the sloop Ariel was put under his command, and sailed without a Commander , he has given Lieutenant Moorsom an order to command that Sloop, and Mr. Percy Fraser an order to be first Lieutenant of her . He proceeds to make suggestions to the Lords of the Admiralty of appointments to the ships the Crown and the Phoenix, and to the sloops Ariel and Atalanta, as he understands that it has been frequently the practicec to appoint additional Lieutenants to each ship soon after they have sailed for the East Indies , and as a number of very deserving Gentlemen have most readily undertaken this Voyage, who have been long qualified to be Officers, and who will, I dare believe if opportunities offer, in future do credit to that situation to the Service and their Country . He names Mr. William Cumberland , Lieutenant Thomas Le Marchant Gosselin , Mr. Edward Pierce , Lieutenant Edward Oliver Osborne and Mr. Henry Powlet . (Powlet went on to become a vice-admiral, Cumberland was the son of the dramatist, and Gosselin's naval career is described in the ODNB.).

4pp., 12mo. Very good, on lightly-aged paper with watermarked date 1848. Addressed to 'My dear Dean'. As the letter clearly concerns Pellew's life of his father-in-law Lord Sidmouth (1847), with Croker referring to his own review of the book in the Quarterly Review, the reason for the gap between the date of publication of the book and the writing of the letter is unclear. Croker writes that he has received Pellew's 'last livraison & kind letter which gives a very just idea of the correspondence'. He feels that Pellew hits 'one point which I had already hinted at in my review of your work - that the King's letters give a higher idea of his powers of mind than was perhaps strictly speaking the fact, as he very generally recapitulated the reasons propounded by his correspondent. If the King's papers should ever become accessible this would I think be found to be very largely the case - but, as we read them, his letters tho often deficient in grammar & sometimes odd by word are creditabe both to his head & heart.' After touching on the King's 'faults of style' Croker appeals for information regarding 'Col. Pringle, 'preparatory to my laying siege to him'. In a postscript Croker writes: 'All the letters about the high Bishoprick Lord Sidmouth showed me, the obnoxious candidate Geo. Beresford was a particular friend of my own.'.

Harington, Bart.', followed by his address 'Whitbourne Court, | Worcester' in manuscript. Seven numbered paragraphs, the first reading: 'Sir, | I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you that they regret that owing to a considerable reduction in the number of Officers required to meet the needs of the Royal Navy after the War, it has become necessary, and is in the best interests of the Cadets themselves, that the numbers due to pass out of the R. N. College, Dartmouth between August 1920 and August 1922, both dates inclusive, should be reduced by approximately 40%.' The third paragraph explains, under subheadings a and b, the way in which the number of cadets 'allowed to pass out of Dartmouth in August. 1920 will be limited to 57'. A 'withdrawal grant of £300' will be given to the parent or guardian of any boy withdrawn. The final paragraph explains that 'the number of Cadets withdrawn voluntarily will govern the number to be selected by the Admiralty for withdrawal at the July examination'. From the papers of Sir Richard Harington, 12th Baronet (1861-1931), Puisne Judge in India, and High Sheriff of Herefordshire.

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Signed letter,1pp., mailing folds, folio, Admiralty Office, 17th July 1817. A letter to J. H. Addinton, saying he has put his letter before the Commissioners of the Admiralty and has it in command to acquaint you that their Lordships having directed Commissioner Cunningham to furnish you for Lord Sidmouth s information with a list of the Articles taken from those placed at his Lordship s disposal for the sick men in the Batavier agreeably to your request. , signed John Barrow . The HMS Batavier was captured by the Royal Navy from the Batavian Navy on 30 August 1799. She functioned as a hospital ship from April 1809 until January 1817, after which she was moved to Blackwall to receive distressed seamen. Her final service was as a prison ship based at Sheerness from September 1817 until finally being broken up in March 1823. This letter was written in the short period when HMS Batavier was situated in Blackwall, London. Barrow was appointed Second Secretary to the Admiralty in 1804. In this capacity he promoted British exploration, most notably of West Africa and the North Polar Region, with attempts to find a north-west passage from east to west through the Canadian Arctic.
