Original - Hand Written Diary. Dated - 20 of October 1763 To 30th of June 1764 The Christian Experiences Of Elizabeth Kingsley (Later Mrs. Symonds.) Description : An Unusual Unique item . I have been told that Elizabeth Kingsley was a relative of the author "Charles Kingsley" who wrote the "Water Babies". Presumably a cousin (removed), or (Great) Aunt. Please let me know, if you know the relationship. (description continues after 1st scan) I have read through the book, and will attempt to provide a precis of it's contents. Elizabeth was a devoutly religious young woman, obviously of means, and still living at home with her parents in London. There is a great deal of insight into her "attempts" to follow her teachings from the Bible and her teachers. She writes of the sermons of such preachers of the Evangelical Revival as Madan, Romaine, Venn, Brittain, Langford, Hogg, Brewer (at Pinner's Hall)  and others. ("Such meetings were held regularly in the ministers’ houses and those of a growing number of Christian nobility, including Lady Francis Shirley, the Count and Countess of Huntingdon, Countess Delitz and Lord Dartmouth." ref. google.com ) Interestingly ,she also speaks of visits to "Wesley's" chapel, and attending a Methodist meeting, though not a "follower". There are some more general observations on life, including "The Lord Mayor's Parade", a few sections on their servants, including one who had died after leaving their service " a fallen woman ". Illnesses in the family, and more...   Though for me the most interesting thing is her outlook on life. A few quotes to illustrate - "I am at present slothful in religion, but I have no power to do anything: I can't help my self. My spiritual disease rages and gets head apace, and at the same I find my strength decay" "A very stupid frame I have been in today; but O yet blessed be the Lord, he has not left me for some weeks past, to those great terrors which sometimes I have....." "This has been a blessed day to my soul, my heart has been fill'd with the love of Jesus..........." Condition :   Softbound handstitched book with light blue covers which are a little dirty and worn. Internally the majority of the pages are clean. A couple of pages have tears with loss, though one was torn before the diary was written , a couple of closed small tears elsewhere. Signature of (Elizabeth Emery , Bedford or Bidford) on inside cover. Book Measures Area 8 x 6 1/2 inches -  20 cm x 16cm. Unpaginated - 144 pages. Overall GOOD + There were 4 images from this diary available on request.

DOTH GRANT BARGAIN SELL THE MANNOR MESSUAGES LANDS TENAMENTS. ALL THAT MANNOR OR LORDSHIP OF NATEBY WITH ALL ITS RIGHTS AND MANSION HOUSE - NATEBY HALL AND WINDMILL AND KILNE. INFORMATION FOR COLLECTORS: Nateby  Nateby township is said to have been the tenure of the family of Travers of Tulketh to as far back as the reign of Henry I. Laurence Travers, who lived soon after that reign, was succeeded by eleven generations. Nateby appears to be in the possesion of William Travers in 1524 and 1559, and Richard Travers is recorded as holding Nateby Hall in 1557. The greater part of the township was divided at the time of the duke of Hamiltons sale, the balance being sold to a number of people by Mr. Hand around 1800. At Nateby in the "Over Wyre" district between Garstang and the parish of Pilling, a large concerted research programme which involves several universities is being undertaken right now. This came about because of the discovery of a Roman road under a lawn in a private garden; it appears to point to a major site of ancient occupation which had previously only been guessed at. The archeologists are reported to have identified several woodhenges; a large fish pond, many underground chambers and several roads, both Roman and pre-Roman. GUARANTEED ORIGINAL AND IN GOOD CONDITION  - SOME WEAR TO FOLDS -  SIZE 23 INCHES BY 19 INCHES ON ONE SHEET OF FOLDED VELLUM WITH THREE BLUE PAPER EMBOSSED REVENUE STAMPS AND ONE RED WAX SEAL.

BETWEEN SIR WILLIAM PALLISER OF EARLS COURT SQUARE IN THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX AND CHARLES HUNT OF LANGBRIDGE ROAD KENSINGTON. LEASE FOR DWELLING HOUSE. SIGNED BY SIR WILLIAM PALLISER. Converted guns When rifled artillery first came into the service there were a great many smooth bore guns in store. For the sake of economy it was advisable to find a means of utilising these guns as rifled muzzle loaders. The material was weak however and it was necessary to find a method of strengthening them. A successful system was finally adopted in 1863. This was proposed by Sir William Palliser.1 To distinguish these converted guns from the the newly produced guns they were classified as follows:- All reworked and converted guns = R.M.L. All new guns = M.L.R. Over 2,000 of these converted guns were made.There are are two patterns of 64 pr. converted guns, both converted from smooth bore cast iron guns. These are the 64 pr. of 71 cwt. (converted from the 8-inch shell gun) and the 64 pr. of 58 cwt. (converted from the 32 pr. of 58 cwt.) Some 80 pr. 5 ton guns were also converted on the same system. The Palliser System The system of conversion to rifled, (R.M.L.) was the Palliser one, which consisted of boring out the cast iron gun to form a casing, and then inserting a coiled wrought iron barrel, kept in position by an iron collar and a screw plug under the trunnions.

It measures 30" x 26" and it's weight is approximately 192 grammes. For its age it is in good condition. The back sheet is a little stained, due to storage and it is slightly thin on one or two of its folds. It has been stored in the same Safe for over 20 years. An ideal piece of English history for collectors of old hand written documents. The signatures and the 4 wax seals appear to be in the near same condition as when they were first impressed upon the document nearly 215 years ago. The 4 original Revenue stamps (sealed and impressed on the front of the pages with the original black stamps on the back) are again in good to fair condition.

On old original 1827 rent agreement document between The Govenors of St. Bartholomews Hospital London and Thomas and Jacob Parker for the lease of Swan Yard Livery, stables and houses in Hosier Lane. Document states that the rent shall be £55 per year for 61 years with a land tax of £6.16. This is a really interesting two page document with a map of the site. Each page measures approx. 30" by 23" and comes folded with some staining which doesn't in anyway effect the excellent clarity of the written text or of the map. The document must contain a couple of thousand words, has 3 signatures and 2 blue seals attatched to the document and one large wax seal (crumbling) which comes with the plans. This really is an interesting piece of history concerning the world famous St. Bartholomews Hospital which tells of many things including the planning restrictions for example, '....and shall not at any time during the said term hereby granted alter changes or vary the elevation or front of the said tenement...' This would make an excellent addition to any collection and in addition would provide excellent historical and research information.

Rare and fairly unique scroll document detailing the Coat of Arms and heraldic devices entitled to be worn by the family of one John Nightingale. This being the response by the Royal Order to the gentleman in question (at least I think this is the case - being a serf its all a bit above my head!) - John Nightingale of the parish of St Clement Danes in the County of Middlesex. The document is dated 1824 and signed by Sir George Naylor Principal King of Arms and Ralph Bigland and Edmund Lodge both Kings of Arms. Details of the devices are given both in words and in the beautifully hand painted Coat of Arms at the top left (apart from the seal to the left this document is all hand done). The scroll came in a leather covered wood box which has seen better days though still retains the Royal Arms to the lid. The scroll itself is in good condition tho' it has suffered some water/moisture damage at some time in its history - particularly to the right edge and top corner. The text is unsmudged and the Coats of Arms and Royal badges /warrants (?) are in good condition. No holes or tears to the document. The ribbons at the bottom are a bit stained and one is nearly in half but still hanging in there! Scroll measures approx 20 inches square and is I think made of parchment.

The signatures and 5 wax seals are exceptional taking account of the age of the document. The 3 original Revenue stamps (sealed and impressed on the front of the 3 pages with the original black stamps on the reverse) are near perfect.

Cholera epidemic, 1849. Trainee doctor's diary and journal, kept by Edward Ross Prance (born c. 1830) of Stonehouse, Devon, between 1848 and 1852, detailing daily commonplaces such as surgery times, the weather, etc., interjected with a lengthy essay on happiness, and continuing more interestingly with a move to London to observe at the London Hospital in Mile End, followed by diary details of post mortems and operations, with much mention of the cholera, an epidemic of which swept London in 1849, then return to Ivy Bridge in Devon, before returning to London for medical exams, plus touristic mentions of the opening of the Great Exhibition of 1851, visits to Greenwich and the Tower, etc., then obtaining his M.R.C.P.E. and the diary finishing on 2 May 1852 with his appointment as Assistant Surgeon on board H.M.S. Impregnable at Devonport, some medical student notes, partial index, in all approx. 160pp. in a legible hand, orig. limp morocco, worn with sellotape repairs and lower board det., 8vo The diary is interesting for showing the details of a young doctor working in London during the cholera outbreak which began in 1848 and which reached epidemic proportions the following year; between July and October of 1849 the disease claimed 14,000 victims in the metropolis alone. While the diary is sporadic with some long gaps, it gives an insightful picture into the routines of a young doctor in Victorian Devon and London.

A note book in a full leather binding, with faded tooled pattern on front and back cover. There are small punch marks where ribbon or cord would have tied front and back covers together. Some rubbing and bumping to corners and spine but overall in excellent condition for age. Pages hand cut. This book has very obviously been lovingly stored for most of its life. I believe this item to be an extremely rare and important item of Quaker (and British history) it consists of over 240 hand written pages, in ink, which I estimate from content, the style of binding and the quality of the paper to date from the late 1690’s or the very early 1700s. There is no obvious inscription to identify the writer but the name M and M Lucas appears at the top of the first page, in a different hand. The book begins “The work of Grace begins where sin began” and continues in sermon form for 18 pages. The writer then describes George Fox, as he knew him in the following terms, “George Fox was an instrument in the hand of the Lord in this present age which he made use of to send forth into the world” and “I knew him well, conversed with him often, observed him much, loved him dearly, and honoured him truly” This praise continues for several pages. Finally the writer states “In White Hart Court by Grace Street? London on the 11th day of the 11th month 1690 he was in his testimony as a fixed star in the firm of Gods” and “On the 13th instant between the 9th and 20th hour in the night he quietly departed this life in peace” He describes Fox’s funeral near Burnhill Fields. Most of the rest of this work records particular events in George Fox’s life in Fox’s own words. These appear to come from George Fox’s own writings, and are written as Fox would have written them. It describes his birth in 1624 at Drayton in the Clay, Leicestershire. It describes Foxes conversion of a witch. It details Fox’s imprisonment all over Britain, “ I being thrust into Carlisle dungeon a filthy nasty place it was where men and women were put together and the prisons so lousy and one woman was almost eaten to death with lice” It describes how they were supporters of the King and because of this his followers were persecuted, beaten and killed for their beliefs, many examples of which are quoted. He makes many references to Cromwell and specific soldiers in Cromwell’s army. It describes Fox’s trip to America and his attempts to convert the Indians. I could go on and on. At first I believed this to be a diary written by a follower of Fox, as much of it is in a form of shorthand, however after some research I now believe this was written shortly after Fox’s death by either a follower or student of Fox who obviously knew him personally and well. For some reason, possibly because Fox’s writings were banned or hard to get, our author chose to write out the most important parts of Fox’s life and mission adding his own text and anecdotes throughout, possibly as an act of penance or in respect for a man he or she obviously cared for. Because of the nature of this item and the difficulty I have describing the contents I will gladly answer any questions you may have. I am also happy to scan any pages on request. However, as this book has been carefully looked after and is in excellent condition, I do not feel inclined to manhandle it too much. From the image a Tho: Ellwood is named in the text.
