* Peninsular War. A manuscript account of the Storming of the Ciudad Rodrigo, [by Lieutenant William Mackie, 88th Connaught Rangers], paper watermarked 1837, addressed to ‘Sir’ [Lt.-Col. Charles James Napier, 1782-1853], addressing the incorrect recollection of the surrender of the Storming of the Ciudad Rodrigo, on the 19 January 1812, by Colonel John Gurwood [1788-1845], which omitted Lieutenant Mackie’s key role in being the first to accept a sword from the French army in signal of their surrender: ‘Immediately on entering I was hailed by a French Officer, asking for an English General to who they might surrender. Pointing to my epaulets … a sword presented to me in token of surrender, which I accordingly received.’; ‘My chagrin and disappointment may be easily imagined, when Lord Wellington’s dispatches reached the army from England to find my name altogether omitted.’; ‘I do declare on the word of a man of honour, that, I was the first individual, who effected the descent from the main breach into the streets of the town. That I preceded the advance into the body of the place, that I was the first who entered the Citadel, and that the Enemy there assembled had surrendered to myself and party before Lieut Gurwood came up.’; ‘I need not say that this danger is only the more imminent from his statement appearing in a work which, as being published under the auspices of the Duke of Wellington as well as of the Horse Guards, has at least the appearance of coming in the guise of an official authority,’ 17 pages, 8vo, together with:Address to Britannia, on the anniversary of the Battle of Buçaco 27th Sept 1816, a handwritten book of mainly poetry and some prose, by William Mackie, a total of 129 pages, signed to verso of front free endpaper, half morocco over marbled boards, rubbed with some corner wear, 4to, plusLife of Field-Marshall His Grace The Duke of Wellington, by W. H. Maxwell, 3 volumes, 4th edition, London: Henry G. Bohn, 1845, including 3 volumes in defective bindings, 8vo, and Britannia Ingrata: A Tribute to the Peninsular Army, with an introduction and notes by Major William Mackie, London: T. & W.

This the first time they have been offered for sale. During the Peninsular War, the 88th ‘Devils Own’ Connaught Rangers established a reputation as one of the most fearsome battalions in Wellington’s army. The 88th was at the forefront of the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, which took place on 19 January 1812, when Lieutenant William Mackie, who volunteered to lead the 'forlorn hope', led the assault of the 3rd Division against the main breach, losing 63 officers and men. Mackie’s letter challenging Colonel Gurwood’s view of what happened seems to have had some effect on at least one subsequent publication. In The Duke of Wellington by W. H. Maxwell, volume 2, p. 439, it states that: ‘Mackie… reached the citadel; and his gallantry was rewarded by receiving there the submission of General Barrie and such of the garrison as it contained’. Maxwell also goes on to reference the letter: ‘Major Mackie addressed to Lieut.-Colonel Napier a modest but accurate statement of the part he had acted in storming Rodrigo, leaving the world - as I do - the task of deciding to whom, by right of conquest, the sword of General Barrie should have belonged’. Mackie's account has also influenced many modern historians including: Richard Holmes, Tim Saunders, William Grattan, etc.

oil on board, titled label verso mounted, framed and under glass image size 14cm x 18cm, overall size 28cm x 31cm Exhibition label verso: May 1973, Aitken Dott & Son, Edinburgh Note: Earl Haig (son of the Field Marshall) started painting as a prisoner of war. The paintings and drawings he made in Colditz Castle were exhibited at The Scottish Gallery in 1945 in an exhibition attended by HM The Queen. He went on to train under Victor Pasmore and Lawrence Gowing at Camberwell School of Art, London when fellow Scot William Johnstone was Principal. He had a distinguished exhibiting career primarily with The Scottish Gallery which spanned over six decades, concluding with his remarkable 90th birthday show in 2008. However, the same prestigious Edinburgh Gallery staged a Memorial show for Haig in 2011 and a major centenary show in 2018. In 2020 another solo show was staged (November - December 2020) by The Scottish Gallery focussing on examples from the Scottish Borders and Italy, where he spent an increasing amount of time from the mid-1970s. Earl Haig's work was shown widely elsewhere in Britain and on the continent, latterly including Clarges Gallery and Gallery 10, London. His work held in the collections of HM The Queen and other members of the Royal family, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and further public and notable corporate collections. Earl Haig was a member of the Scottish Arts Council and of the Royal Fine Art Commission for Scotland and a Trustee of the National Galleries of Scotland. As a landscape painter he was fond of simple, almost naïve images infused with a rich palette. Lived in Bemersyde, Melrose, Scotland.

Erste Ausgabe. - Enaudi 3064 - Posthume Sammlung von Aufsätzen, die sich hauptsächlich mit der Anwendung von Statistiken auf Fragen des Geldes, der Preise und der Schwankungen befassen. Die Aufsätze "zeigen, dass (Jevons) ein Pionier in der grafischen Darstellung von Wirtschafts- und Finanzstatistiken war, indem er die in seinen meteorologischen Studien verwendeten Methoden für die Darstellung des wirtschaftlichen "Wetters" anpasste. Wie Marshall und Pareto war Jevons einer der wenigen führenden neoklassischen Vertreter der deduktiven Grenzanalyse des späten neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, der auch wertvolle Beiträge zur statistischen und deskriptiven Ökonomie leistete, in einem "Versuch ..., exakte Untersuchungen und exakte numerische Berechnungen an die Stelle von Vermutungen und haltlosen Argumenten zu setzen". - Vereinzelt leicht gebräunt, insgesamt gutes Exemplar. Posthumous collection of essays dealing mainly with the application of statistics to questions of money, prices and fluctuations. The essays "show that (Jevons) was a pioneer in the graphical representation of economic and financial statistics, adapting the methods used in his meteorological studies to the representation of economic 'weather'. Like Marshall and Pareto, Jevons was one of the few leading neoclassical proponents of deductive frontier analysis of the late nineteenth century, who also made valuable contributions to statistical and descriptive economics in an 'attempt ... to substitute exact investigation and exact numerical calculations for conjecture and baseless argument'. - Slightly browned in places, a good copy overall.

Registration No: AUA 170 Chassis No: D10727 MOT: August 2025Re-bodied on the request of the then owner and aspiring trials driver Maurice Zwick when three years oldCampaigned before WW2 as the Zwick Rapier on the Land's End, Exeter and Edinburgh Trails etcRaced at Goodwood, Silverstone, and Great Auclum after WW2 by John Marshall, Margaret 'Peggy' Harman, and AC GriffithsSupplied with a history file with numerous period photographs of the Rapier in competitionIntroduced at the 1933 Olympia Motor Show, the Lagonda Rapier was intended to capitalise on the growing market for small capacity sports cars. Although based around a conventional ladder-frame chassis complete with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel Girling 13-inch drum brakes, the newcomer boasted a highly advanced engine. The work of consultant Thomas 'Tim' Ashcroft the 1104cc four-cylinder unit utilised twin overhead camshafts to produce a quoted 50bhp @ 5,400rpm. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its performance, refinement and agility, the model was supplied in bare chassis guise only and bodied via the likes of E.D. Abbott, John Charles, Maltby and E.J. Newns. Prohibitively expensive to manufacture, the Rapier was dropped when the Staines firm went into administration during 1935. Convinced that the reborn Lagonda (LG Motors Ltd) had made a mistake, Tim Ashcroft, William Oates and Nevil Brockelbank secured the rights to the small capacity sports car shortly thereafter. Operating as Rapier Cars Ltd of Hammersmith they contributed a further 46 cars to the total production tally of 470 before closing their doors in 1938.Beginning life as an Abbott-bodied Tourer, chassis D10727 was road registered as ‘AUA 170' on the 10th August 1934. Purchased by aspiring trials driver Maurice Zwick in 1936 (who would go on to contest five Monte Carlo rallies), the Lagonda soon proved a competitive mount. Buoyed by podiums on the Land's End, Exeter, and Edinburgh Trials during 1937, Zwick had the Rapier re-bodied (from the bulkhead back) and supercharged. With little to show for his endeavours in 1938, he side-lined ‘AUA 170' storing it at Thompson & Taylor's Brooklands premises during WWII. Purchased by Weybridge garage owner John Marshall, the Lagonda was converted into a circuit racer - complete with a lightweight body and strengthened engine internals - in time to enter the 1st BARC Goodwood Race Meeting in 1948. Campaigned by subsequent keeper Mrs Margaret `Peggy' Harman in 1949-1950 at Silverstone and Great Auclum etc, she entrusted its maintenance to Maurice Leo.Initially used by the next owner Joe Branson, as a daily commuter, he went on to win the Lagonda Club's prestigious Arthur Fox Trophy aboard `AUA 170' in 1958. Somewhat tired by the time Charles Hoskins of Market Rasen acquired it, restoration work began in the 1980s and had yet to be completed when the gentleman who completed the restoration acquired the Rapier in 2004. Purchased by the previous keeper in 2016 from H&H, the Rapier required recommissioning at this stage and was provided with over £5,000 worth of expenditure that comprised new rear axle seals, front brake overhaul, new exhaust system, and a service. Purchased by the vendor most recently, the Rapier was again not running, with the vendor recommissioning the car, and since ‘AUA 170’ has thankfully been in regular use. Running and driving excellently for the photography session, the Rapier will be driven to the sale. Supplied with a history file with in-depth history details of ‘D10727’, instruction book, previous MOTs, a current MOT until August 2025 with no advisories, numerous period competition photographs, and the V5C.
