Title: Hugh Elliot, British Diplomat To Naples, Writes To Sir John Stuart, British Lieutenant General During Napoleonic Wars, During The Siege Of Sicily: The Surrender Of The Castle Of Scylla Is Without Doubt An Object Of The Greatest Importance To The Future Security Of Sicily And The Freedom Of The Navigation Of The Freights Of Messina
Author: (NAPOLEONIC WARS)
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: HUGH ELLIOT (1752-1830). Eliot was a career diplomat for the British Empire. His postings included as ambassador to Prussia from 1777-1782, Denmark from 1782-1791, Saxony from 1792-1803, and Naples from 1803-1806, and as Governor of the Leeward Islands from 1809-1814 and Madras from 1814-1820. He also was a noted abolitionist whose arrest and execution of Arthur Hodge for murdering a slave in the Virgin Islands was a major impetus for Britain abolishing the slave trade in 1807SIR JOHN STUART (1759-1815). The American-born son of a British loyalist, Stuart fought at the siege of Charleston, the battles of Camden and Guilford Court-House, and the surrender of Yorktown, as well as throughout the conquering of Egypt and the Napoleonic Wars. LS. 4 pg. 8 x 10. July 27, 1806. Palermo. A letter signed H Elliot to Sir John. After some brief platitudes, Elliot writes: The surrender of the Castle of Scylla is without doubt an object of the greatest importance to the future security of Sicily and the freedom of the navigation of the Freights of Messina Sincerely I congratulate you upon this addition to the long list of advantages derived from the brilliant victory of Maida. The fall of Gaeta was always, in my opinion, inevitable, except a sufficient force could have been brought against the besiegers to have driven them from the peninsula upon which they had erected their works. I do not apprehend that our numbers were sufficient to have admitted of a detachment equal to the undertaking. I am not competent to judge how far the promise given by Sir Sidney Smith, to drive away the French from their batteries by Naval means could have been effected [sic]. Certain it is, that this government counted upon the experiments being made when it consented at the joint demand of the Prince of Hesse and Sr Sidney Smith to send an increased garrison to Gaeta. I am not yet informed whether the troops now returned from Gaeta are to be considered as bound not to act against the French or their allies for a year and a day, according to one of the articles of the capitulation. A doubt has risen here upon this point, in consequence of the French having themselves infringed the articles of that capitulation and a Council of War is summoned in order to take this delicate subject into their consideration. From the summer of 1805 until January 1806, British and Russian troops were jointly stationed in Naples to defend it from the French troops under the Duke of Rivoli. Though Elliot advocated against retreating, both armies pulled out of Italy altogether and France conquered Naples by February 8th, 1806. A stalemate was reached when the British invaded Italy at the Battle of Maida on July 4th, referenced in the letter, and subsequently re-established control over Sicily under Ferdinand IV after the Siege of Scylla, also referenced in the letter. Nonetheless, Elliot, perhaps because of his criticism, was recalled as Ambassador and blackballed from a diplomatic posting for the next several years. The French never took Sicily, in part because the French took Gaeta, referenced in the letter, but Italian monarchical control over Naples was not restored until the formal union of the Kingdom of Naples with the Kingdom of Sicily into the new Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in 1816. This letter is an excellent first-hand account of the military and political dynamics at play in the Italian theater of the Napoleonic Wars, and is in very good condition.

Title: SOUTHERN SLAVERY CONSIDERED ON GENERAL PRINCIPLES; OR, A GRAPPLE WITH ABSTRACTIONISTS. BY A NORTH CAROLINIAN
Author: [North Carolina]
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: New York: Rudd & Carleton, Publishers, 1861. Disbound without wrappers. Persistent upper area stain in inner corners, with occasional pencil marginalia, else a clean text. Good+. "Abstractionists," the author says, also known as "one-idea people, at all times are the bane of society." On the divisive issue of slavery, "Remember, that it is one thing to answer this question in the quiet security of his domestic circle at the North, and quite another to live at the South, surrounded by the dear members of his family, and run the risk of having it answered for him, in a way that would appal his heart, however brave and noble its instincts. The peace of those beloved ones, if not the good of his country, and of the ignorant blacks themselves, would make him pause and ponder well, before removing from them the least restraint, which maddened abstractionists might dictate."
