Henry Somerset, fifth Earl of Worcester was, by repute, the richest man in England, and Raglan Castle, furnished in the most lavish style, was the centre of a vast estate. He donated huge sums to the royalist cause, for which he was created first Marquess of Worcester in 1642. Charles I sought refuge at Raglan from June to September 1645 after the battle of Naseby, and the castle was the last important garrison to surrender at the end of the civil war – 'first fortified and last surrendered' - on 19 August 1646, when, despite heavy fortifications, part of its Great Tower was destroyed.

Geoffrey Rodd, together approximately 680 pages, detailing all flights (departure/arrival locations, list of crew/passengers, incidents), numerous additional photographs, press cuttings, ephemera, etc relating to Rodd, Puss Moth and their adventures pasted in, contemporary blue morocco by Truslove & Hanson of Sloane Street, gilt lettered 'G-AAYB. Journey Log Book. Vol. 1[-2] July, 1930 to July, 1931 [-To]' on upper covers, oblong 4to (190 x 240mm.), July 1930-July 1931[-1933] Footnotes: 'COMMANDER GEOFFREY RODD'S AEROPLANE AND EXPERT SERVICES AS A PILOT ARE IN MUCH REQUEST BY THE FAIR SEX' - the flight log books (enlivened with photographs, press cuttings and ephemera) of a playboy pilot's De Havilland aircraft Puss Moth, from the time of his learning to fly under the tutelage of ace pilot Maxwell Hutcheon Findlay, to flights with celebrated female pilots Amy Johnson and Peggy Salaman, aerial filming for the cinema, lending his plane to collect Hollywood actress Gloria Swanson from Paris, and his tragic death, aged only thirty-two, crashing during take-off from the glamorous holiday resort of St. Moritz. Born in Australia, Rodd (1901-1933) served in the Royal Navy during the First World War, then aboard the Royal Yacht. As evidenced from these evocative albums his trajectory from amateur pilot on the waterlogged airfields of Sussex and Kent, to success in competitions, blind flying with Amy Johnson, immersion in the world of celebrities and film stars, and airfields of glitzy Biarritz over a period of under two years was astonishing. His early flights were taken in the company of his teacher at Hanworth Aerodrome, Scottish flying ace Maxwell Hutcheon Findlay (including one resulting in an official report to the Accidents Investigation Committee concerning the 'Meopham Accident', 25 Sept. 1930); flights with associates from his naval days followed, including Admiral of the Fleet Reginald Tyrwhitt (who wrote that the flight 'had entirely changed my ideas as regards travelling by air!'); increasingly confident he was soon piloting successfully at the King's Cup with Peggy Salaman (a letter signed by Peggy to Rodd after her return to England having flown from Lympe in Kent to Cape Town, November 1931 is tipped-in). Other notable notices include a report relating to a dangerous driving charge against Rodd at Blackheath (he admitted guilt); a letter of chastisement from the Chief Constable of the Hastings Police for distributing handbills (relating to the 'Navy Week at Chatham', a copy of which tipped-in) from his aeroplane (15 Aug. 1930); correspondence with the Air Ministry concerning an 'Alleged flight over prohibited area' (14 Oct. 1930) with Rodd's reply admitting the offence and apologising for his late reply due 'to a serious accident in starting 'G-AAYB' involving amputation of my right thumb' [31 Oct. 'engine back fired and propeller cut off my right thumb at top joint... fainted a couple of times', but flown back by Max Findlay]; forced landings including one due to 'stick jambing... a nut which must have caused this' (Oct. 23 1930), and 'Smoke Bomb ignited in its release box in cabin: pretty nearly choked'; 'Shoreham aerodrome flooded, but landed in field alongside' (24 Jan. 1931), piloting Vice-Admiral Snagge to the Epsom Derby; achieving the fastest time ('982.5 miles at 127.56 m.p.h.') at the Kings Cup Air Race, 24 Aug. 1931, with pasted in letters and newspaper reports on the race ('... The lady pilots fared badly, as was to be expected'); 'Night landings by Bentley's headlights' at Hanworth, 31 Oct. 1931 (several newspaper reports show images of Rodd with his chauffer John Camp, who also acted on occasions as his co-pilot); 'House Party's flight in moonlight' at Lord Willougby de Broke's aerodrome at Kineton, '12000ft. taking cinema over the clouds' (8 Apr. 1932, beside a newspaper cutting reporting on actor John Loder telling Rodd a story about Gary Cooper); 19 Apr. 1932 'For Gloria Swanson' [flight from Lymphe to Paris and return, piloted by Maxwell Findlay], '...couldn't get permission to fly under Clifton Suspension Bridge. Flew over' (9 June 1932); August 1932 extensive public displays including at Burnham, and filming at Brooklands for the film 'The King's Cup'; 19 August starts a 'Blind Flying Course' (and includes aerial photo of 'The Rude Man of Cerne Abbas'); On 28 August flies to Le Toquet with Amy Johnson (during which time his £3000 car is stolen from Park Lane, and used 'in Wandsworth smash-and-grab raid'), and on the 31st takes her 'Night flying. Aerobatics'; aerial holiday to Biarritz (newspaper reporting that he 'has been offered £200 for one portion alone of his Biarritz film...'); 'Practice blind flying in clouds', flights to Cannes, Geneva, the Alps, and on 10 January 1933 landing on frozen lake at St. Moritz, where later in the month he was killed during a failed take off from the same lake.

NELSON (HORATIO) Autograph letter signed ('Horatio Nelson') written with his right hand, to the Navy agents Marsh & Creed ('Gentlemen'), asking them to '...send the enclosed instantly to the Duke of Clarence, I have only to say we must again beat the French fleet they have got reinforcements...', address panel on verso, remains of red wax seal, docketed as received on 20 May 1795, ownership inscription 'R.W. Hinxman', one page, cut away at foot with slight loss to address on verso, light dust-staining, creased, seal tear, note of provenance tipped on, 171 x 204mm., [no place but St. Fiorenzo, Corsica], 16 April 1795 Footnotes: 'SEND THE ENCLOSED INSTANTLY TO THE DUKE OF CLARENCE': NELSON URGENTLY SEEKS REINFORCEMENTS AS THE FRENCH FLEET POSE A THREAT AFTER THE BATTLE OF GENOA. Whilst our covering letter is not published in Nicolas, it may be safely assumed that the letter to which it refers is Nelson's letter to the Duke of Clarence of the same date (Nicolas, Dispatches and Letters, Vol.2, p.30). In it, Nelson reiterates that the French have received reinforcements from Brest and that the outnumbered English fleet have been kept there by 'contrary winds'. He goes on to say that with just three further ships he is confident that: '...we shall prevent this Fleet of the Enemy from doing further service in the Mediterranean, notwithstanding the red-hot shot and combustibles, of which they have had a fair trial, and found them useless...'. Provenance: R. W. Hinxman; presented to the Ware family of Tilford, Surrey in 1847; thence by descent to the present owner, with note of provenance. Saleroom notices: The letter was presented to the Ware family by Rowley Willes Hinxman (1831-1906) who inherited it on the death of his father, the navy agent, entrepreneur and art collector John Hinxman (b.1794) in 1847. Further details available from the department. We are grateful to Richard Hinxman, the Hinxman family historian, for supplying this information.

AMERICA - SLAVERY Plan of the slave ship 'Brooks', large double-page engraving, some light foxing, 300 x 485mm., Philadelphia, J.P. Parke, 1808; together with a hand-coloured version of the plan below a view of Africans being taken away for slavery, from a work in German (2) Footnotes: Larger version of this well-known depiction of the manner in which slaves could be legally packed onto the infamous Liverpool slaver the Brooks, extracted from the 1808 Philadelphia edition of Thomas Clarkson's The History of the Rise, Progress & Accomplishment of the Abolition of the African Slave-Trade. Recent reassessments suggest that the plan may have underestimated the horrendous situation: 'An analysis of numerous illustrations of slave vessels created by then-contemporary artists, in conjunction with new data, demonstrates that the 1789 diagram of the British slave ship Brooks—the most iconic of these illustrations—fails to capture the degree to which enslaved people were crowded on the Brooks, as well as on most other British slaving vessels of the eighteenth century.... The most accurate representation of ship-board conditions in the eighteenth-century slave trade is in the paintings of the French slave ship Marie-Séraphique' (Nicholas Radburn, David Eltis, 'Visualizing the Middle Passage: The Brooks and the Reality of Ship Crowding in the Transatlantic Slave Trade', in The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, vol. 49, issue 4, 2019).
