120 ff., irregularly paginated: some ff. apparently cut out, some added.Fascinating album amicorum of the German Captain Carl Gottlieb Heinrich (b. 1771) from Bischofswerda, east of Dresden in Saxony. Heinrich chose a military career and went - as so many other Germans - to the Netherlands in 1802 to enter into the service of the Batavian, later French Imperial, army. His career can be traced in the "Stamboek" (military registration book) held in the National Archives in The Hague: he was born 2 April 1771 in Bischofswerda. His father was Johan Christopf Heinrich (b. 1706); his mother Johanna Elizabeth (d. 1771) who died probably in childbirth (in the present album Johanna Magdalena signs as his (step-?) mother on p. 2). He had brown eyes, his nose and mouth were normal and he could speak German and Dutch. In 1804, he was a 1st Lieutenant Light Infantry, in 1805 he was with 2nd Regiment Jagers, in 1808 with the Garde Jagers, and in 1809 he was made Captain. Heinrich had been in the service of the French army since 1792, during which he was stationed in Flanders and Brabant.The stories of Heinrich's adventures in later life are told in the 91 entries in the present album, including 22 entries written in Dutch. The first entry on p. 6 was written by his brother F.C. Adolph Heinrich (Bautzen, 29 January 1802). Apparently he travelled the following months in the surroundings of Bischofswerda to pay ca. 25 farewell visits to family and friends in Bautzen, Dresden, Kamenz, Seeligstadt, Stolpen, and Struppen, before he left for the Netherlands, via Leipzig (19 May 1802) and Zwolle (29 May). He arrived in Kampen at the end June that same year and was garrisoned there until the spring of 1803 (entries from 26 June 1802 till 13 February 1803). Between 1804 and 1810, we find him in Harlingen (May-June 1804), Alkmaar (December 1804), The Hague (April 1806), Breda (July 1806), Overveen (July 1807), Haarlem (August 1807), Amsterdam (October 1807). In July 1810, Heinrich visited members of the Van Oldenbarnevelt (named Tullingh) family at their house Overheijde in Monster. At the end of 1810, he is in Nantes from where he would sail for Batavia in the Dutch East Indies, where he would arrive in June 1811. Once there, he is - together with his regiment - stationed in Weltevreden, just outside Batavia, and he arrived just in time to be ready to defend Java under the new Governor-General Janssen against the English. After the English easily defeated the Dutch, who subsequently lost their colony to England, Heinrich escaped via Surabaya to Bengal in January 1812 and from there he sailed to Europe. The interesting drawing of Jamestown on St. Helena is by J.D. van Schelle in memory of their journey back (Reading, 7 November 1813). In 1814, Heinrich is garrisoned back in the Netherlands, in Steenbergen, Zwolle, and The Hague. The last entry in the present album was written in Maastricht and dated 12 August 1818.Among the contributors - often very difficult to read in the German script (the so-called Fraktur Schrift) - are: F. Krager, G.F. Arentz, J.F. Geisler, Kerkhoff, E. Nieuwenhuis, H.P. de Wolf van Westerode, A.J. Heshuysen, Kruseman, H.M. Eekhout, F.J. Beckmen, Fr. Alberti, J. N.Dibbetz, Schilling, J. van Duynen, O.W. Ross.With an additional manuscript note (or extra entry) written in German on a separate sheet mounted on the back pastedown. The binding has been professionally restored along the spine, the boards are slightly scratched. Overall in very good condition.

[HORSES - MILITARY].

Anecdoten van paarde kenners, paarde liefhebbers, ruijters en ross-kammers. Naar waarheid en eijge ondervinding opgesteld. Door een gepensioneerd cavallerie officier.[The Netherlands, ca. 1815]. Folio (38 x 24 cm). Manuscript on paper written in brown ink in a readable Latin hand, with the title on p. 72, illustrated with 30 small watercolour drawings of horses mounted on the leaves (mostly about 8.5 x 11 cm), and a washed pen drawing with 5 caricature figures before a monument (9.5 x 16 cm), mounted above the dedication. Half vellum (1930s?), gold-tooled spine.

[4 blank], 248, 251-254, 257-267, [9 blank] pp.Very beautifully illustrated manuscript by a retired Dutch cavalry officer who had been in Prussian service against Napoleon Bonaparte in the years 1806 to 1813, giving his personal account of the horses he kept and traded during his career. The fine watercolours, executed with great care and refined draughtsmanship, show portraits of all 31 horses the author once owned. The text of the manuscript is also of considerable interest. The author relates many entertaining stories and includes many personal details his lifelong schooling in horsemanship, displaying a profound knowledge of horses. He also gives accounts of his daily life in the Prussian army. The manuscript provides insight into the life of the Silesian and Saxon noblemen, proceedings at the horse market in Leipzig, the situation of the army before the Battle of Jena, etc. Moreover, it gives a detailed descriptions of the terrible plundering of the French Wurtenberger Light Cavalry in Silesia, in 1806, and of the Russian invasion of Wohlau in 1813. Separate treatises devoted to these incidents precede the main part of the manuscript (the anecdotes and other information concerning horses) and serve as a sort of preface to them. The author also gives an account of his stay at the camp of the Count van Salm near Bergen-op-Zoom, Netherlands, of a horseback trip from Vianen to Utrecht, during which his horse fell and died, and another trip, from The Hague to Zutphen, on a tireless Zeeland horse. The manuscript explicitly refers to events from 1806 to June 1813 and was probably written soon after the latter date.In 1917 the manuscript apparently belonged to Nicolaas Gerhard van Huffel (1869-1936), physicist, amateur painter, collector of graphic art and teacher at the school of graphic arts in Utrecht. The ink borders drawn around the mounted drawings have sometimes bled through the paper and on two leaves the stiffness of the mounted drawing has caused the manuscript leaf to tear along that border, a small and mostly marginal tear affects one word of the text, and there is a marginal stain in the foot margin of a couple leaves and occasional minor foxing, but the manuscript is still in very good condition, most of the watercolour drawings fine. A remarkable horse manuscript, providing insight into horse trading & keeping, and army life in the period 1806 to 1813 and with 30 beautiful watercolour drawings of horses.l Nicolaas Gerard van Huffel, in: Oude Kunst II (1917), pp. 248-252.

[6], 174 pp. including some blanks.Highly interesting military manuscript, showing the daily military life, standards, regulations, orders and rules and administration of the Dutch army in the second and third quarters of the 18th-century. It was written in four parts, each with its own part-title, discussing several relevant aspects of military life. The first part contains many lists and models, with the names of several officers and their ranks in the military hierarchy, including a model for administering to those who were sick or injured, on personal leave or who lost their lives. It further explains the financial administration of the army, including the income and expenditures for the captain, officers, Swiss guards and many others. The second part contains regulations and prescriptions for the Dutch army, all copied from the Prince of Orange and Nassau’s official decrees, drawn up by his secretary in the second and third quarters of the 18th century, at least mostly by Willem IV (1711-1751). It includes regulations to end his displeasure about the envy and disharmony of the different regimental officers in the Dutch army and the fact that orders from higher military ranks were sometimes neglected by the lower ones. This part also includes prescriptions for the uniforms and many concept or model letters that were commonly used in military service, including one to record the amount of money a soldier obtained, a license to marry someone, a small letter to bring someone to the hospital or sanitarium and a redundancy notice. Also included is a short protocol for when someone died and a small list of the several goods and weapons used in the army. The third part opens with a copy of a letter from Anne, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange (1709-1759), the wife of Willem IV, Prince of Orange and first heriditary stadtholder of the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands. It continues with some very strict orders concerning the daily military matters in The Hague, such as the duties of sentries, guards and patrols, arrests, visitations, emergencies, fires, etc. The last part contains detailed tables and plans, 3 of them showing battle formations, including those for the battles of Muhlberg (1730) and Oosterhout (1732). The other 2 folding plans are model plans for military camps of the infantry and cavalry.The title-page bears the name of Johan Friederich Liernur, a sergeant in the Dutch army.Binding slightly worn around the edges, especially around the spine, head and foot of spine slightly damaged. Some small spots on the first and last blanks, front hinge very slighty loose, a minor tear along the fold of the folding plan for the cavalry camp (barely affecting the content), but otherwise in very good condition. A highly interesting military manuscript and handbook, dealing with all aspects of conducting an army and therefore providing good insights into daily military life in the 18th-century Dutch army.
