Particulars of the Claims of Sir Charles William Hockaday Dick, Baronet, on Her Majesty's Government... . with the Full History and Evidences of the Claims in the Three Cases.

Brighton: Printed by Fleet and Son, Printers, Herald-Office, 1864. 1864. - Octavo, printed self-wraps. 16 pages. There is foxing to the first 3 leaves & the last page with tiny black stains to the lower halves of pages 2-8. The edges of the title page & the bottom corner of the 2nd leaf are chipped. Good. First edition. Sir Charles was Custodian of the Brighton Museum for many years. When he lost that post he sunk into poverty. One of his ancestors, Sir William Dick, espoused the Royalist cause during the reign of Charles I, losing a fortune of about 200,000 pounds sterling, including a loan to the King of more than 50,000 pounds. An act was passed, making this a public debt. However, the debt was never paid. A 132-pound annual pension was granted to William's son, Sir Andrew Dick, during the reign of Charles II, but in 1845 the pension was removed from the list. The three claims here made on the government by Sir Charles and listed on the title page were 1) to have the public debt to the family repaid; 2) to have the family pension reinstated; and 3) to receive compensation as Baronet of Nova Scotia on the grounds that King Charles I created this Baronetcy for Sir William and granted him 16,000 acres of land together with Colonizing Rights in Nova Scotia, and that Sir William had subscribed 3,000 Scottish merks towards the plantation of this colony.

"..the account that is here published provides some unusually deep insights into the hitherto obscure formative stages of the revolutionary movement in South Vietnam, particularly the beginnings of the NLF in one of the key provinces there in 1959-60. Centering on the political and military role of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Dinh, a woman who became one of the NLF's most prominent leaders, this memoir also provides eloquent testimony to the important part played by women in Vietnam's post-war struggle for independence." - Quoted from George McT.

Dorfeuille, Antoine (1754-1795).

Discours de Dorfeuille, Aux Soldats de la Patrie, Au Mois de Novembre 1791. Nouvelle Edition.

[Bourg, France]: [1793]. [1793]. - Octavo, 8 inches high by 5-1/4 inches wide. Unbound self-wraps with the remnants of brown paper along the spine. 7 & [1] deckle-edged pages. The overlapping edges are slightly darkened and creased with a small chip torn from the bottom edge of the last leaf, not affecting the text. Good. An impassioned speech by Dorfeuille addressed to the soldiers of the French republic in the early days of the French Revolution inspiring them to confront the foreign enemies who have aligned themselves with the aristocracy and to seek to inspire the soldiers of other countries to join with them and recognize the people of France as their friends in opposition to the despots who command their regiments. According to Vingtrinier in the "Catalogue de la Bibliotheque Lyonnasie de M. Coste" (1853) this new edition was printed after the death of "Chalier, de Pelletier et de Marat". The date and place of publication were attributed to Bourg, 1793 by Sirand in the "Bibliographie de l"Ain" (1851). "Nouvelle Edition" with the lyrics to the "Chanson de Dubois-Crance". Athough the title attributes the song to Edmond Louis Alexis Dubois-Crance the lyrics are said by others to have been written by Adrien-Simon Boy, the chief surgeon for the Army of the Rhine. The first line reads "Veillons au salut de l'Empire" and the song became the unofficial French national anthem under Napoleon. A precursor to "La Marseillaise", the lyrics were sung to the melody "Vous qui d'amoureuse aventure, courez et plaisirs et dangers" which was sung in Nicolas Dalayrac's comic opera "Renaud d'Ast". The French actor, playwright and revolutionary Antoine Dorfeuille (1754-1795) performed in "boulevard" theaters after 2 unsuccessful attempts to join the Theatre-Francais. He performed as part of the Charles de Lorraine's troupe in 1775. In 1777, he became the first player in the company of Ghent where he had the opportunity to stage his own plays. Seduced by the Revolution, he penned numerous patriotic sketches from 1789 on. As a Jacobin missionary, Dorfeuille traveled throughout France's western region reading from his anti-clerical and anti-aristocratic works including "Miracle of the Holy Omelette", "The Magic Lantern patriotic or coup-de-grace to the aristocracy", etc. Joining the revolutionary forces he served in various capacities, fighting with the Montagnards in 1793. Serving in Corsica, he returns to the continent to join up with Dubois-Crance. Back in Paris, he is enthused by Marat & Hebert. As a journalist and propagandist, he writes under the pseudonym "Damane". Like many others, though a "sans culottes", he is accused by some of supporting the municipal officers of Bourg whom he vows to defend before the revolutionary tribunal. Following the fall of Robespierre, he is arrested despite support from many on the Committee of General Securiy and detained at the Roanne Prison. He is murdered during the May 4th, 1795 massacre. The French soldier and politician Edmond Louis Alexis Dubois-Crance (1747-1814) was a musketeer and subsequently a lieutenant of the Marchaux, the guardsmen of the Ancien Regime. Elected a deputy by the Third Estate of Vitry-le-Francois, he joined the National Assembly. Named Secretary in the Constituent Assembly, Dubois-Crance sought to replace the old military system which was based on the aristocratic system with an organization of National Guards formed by the citizenry and he supported conscription. He was elected to the French Republic's National Convention by the Ardennes department and sided with "The Mountain". Named president of the Convention in 1793, he was a member of both general defense committees before the Reign of Terror established the Committee of Public Safety. His report on the state of the Revolutionary Army recommended the rapid advancement of lower officers based on their success and the fusion of the volunteer troops with those of veterans. These measures contributed to the later success of the army. He participated in the Thermidor Coup that overthrew Robespierre in 1794 but did not join the Royalist faction and, as one of the Committee of Five, he opposed the October 1795 Royalist insurrection. A member of the Committee of Public Safety he was a member of the Council of Five Hundred. Dubois-Crance was appointed Inspector General of infantry and subsequently minister of war in 1799. He opposed Napoleon's coup d'etat and lived in retirement during the years of Napoleon's empire. RARE. Good .

Gambetta, Leon (1838-1882). French statesman prominent during and after the Franco-Prussian War who, as an attorney, defended the journalist Delescluze and opposed the 1851 coup d'etat.

Leon Gambetta": A Richly Toned Woodburytype Oval Portrait of the French Statesman Leon Gambetta Who Opposed the 1851 Coup D'Etat and Played a Prominent Role During the Franco-Prussian War.

Lock and Whitfield, circa [1875]. [1875]. - A richly hued 4-1/2 inch high oval woodburytype portrait of Leon Gambetta mounted onto 11-1/4 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide stiff cream stock. A light gray printed decorative frame highlights the image. The subject's name is printed in the same light gray centered within the lower half of the sheet. "Lock and Whitfield" and "Woodbury Process" are printed at left and right along the lower edge. There is a light vertical crease in the mat and a tiny stain to it's right edge. Very good. The French statesman Leon Gambetta (1838-1882) was admitted to the bar in 1859 and the Conference Mole in 1861. In 1868, Gambetta was selected to defend the journalist Delescluze who was being prosecuted for promoting the erection of a monument to Baudin who'd been killed resisting the 1851 coup d'etat. Gambetta used the occasion to both attack the coup d'etat and the government. He was elected to the assembly by both a district in Paris and one in Marseille. Initially opposing the war with Prussia he gradually came to accept the patriotic line and called for strong measures following the disaster at Sedan. It was he who proclaimed the deposition of the emperor at the corps legislatif and the establishment of a republic at the Hotel de Ville. As one of the first members of the new Government of National defense, he became Minister of the Interior. When the delegation to organize resistance in the provinces failed, Gambetta set off in the "Armand-Barbes", a coal gas-filled balloon to take control as minister of the interior and of war in Tours. With his assistant secretary of war and the young officer of engineers Freycinet, Gambetta organized an army which might have successfully relieved Paris if Metz had not fallen. He later faded from politics after his republican party was defeated by the conservatives and monarchists. Both a printing process and the print which it produces, Woodburytype was invented and patented by Walter B. Woodbury in 1864. A photomechanical process, Woodbury type prints are made from exposing a dichromate-sensitized sheet of gelatin to UV light shining through a photographic negative. Each area of the gelatin hardens to a depth in proportion to the amount of exposure to the light before it is then soaked in warm water. The relief image is then pressed onto a sheet of lead to create an intaglio metal printing plate. Very good .
