(c.1822/23), being jenner's transcripts of contemporary scientific texts relating to meteorology. jenner's notes explore the various aspects of contemporary meteorology, including the observations and discoveries of leading academics including william falconer, luke howard and thomas forster and cover a wide variety of meteorological subjects from instrumentation ('a complete apparatus of meteorological instruments should include the barometer, thermometer, hydrometer, photometer, athrioscope, cynometer') through to the influence of flora and fauna ('animal effluvia as well as vegetable are capable of being mixed with the air, and suspended in it. these are now generally esteemed to be the cause or source of fevers of the malignant or contagious kind').  the comprehensive notebook includes texts from various publications, essays and papers, a few extracts of which include -  'the analysis of the atmosphere is one of the finest discoveries of modern chemistry. it appears to consist of two distinct expansible fluids contained in different proportions, a single portion of oxygen gas being united to three parts by weight, or four parts by bulk, of azote. there is also a very slight admixture of carbonic acid gas, accounting perhaps to a thousandth part of the whole', from the supplement to the encyclopaedia britannica written by sir john leslie between 1815-24, 'the degree of pressure of the atmosphere upon the human body has not been exactly estimated, it having been computed from 31,000 to 42,000 pounds' weight. in the different states of the atmosphere his varies, the effects of these variations are not ascertained', from the 'remarks on the influence of climate, situation, nature of country, population, nature of food, and way of life' by william falconer (london, 1781), 'it is the frequent observation of the countenance of the sky, and of its connection with the present and ensuing phaenomena, that constitutes the antient and popular meteorology. the want of this branch of knowledge renders the predictions of the philosopher, who is attending only to his instruments less generally successful than those of the weather-wise mariner or husbandman', from the philosophical magazine, (vol. xvi, london, 1803. article xviii), 'on the modifications of clouds, and on the principles of their production, suspension and destruction'; being the substance of an essay read before the askesian society in the session 1802-3, by luke howard, 'one of the principle uses of meteorology is, that it enables us to predict, in some measure, the ensuing changes of the weather. to do this accurately, a familiar acquaintance with the modification of the clouds, and indeed with all the operations which are going on above, appears necessary. when two or more contrary indications appear, the result must be deduced from those which ultimately prevail; & that when several agreeable signs appear, the event may be predicted with additional certainty\u0085some animals express signs of uneasiness previous to an alteration of the weather long before there are any visible signs of a change. dogs for instance become very drowsy & stupid before rain & their ears are sometimes found considerably inflamed\u0085.cats though in a less degree are affected in the same manner - and a leech, confined in a glass of water, has been found, by its rapid motions\u0085to indicate fair or wet weather. peculiarities in the electric state of the atmosphere may\u0085affect the constitution of animals in the same manner as they appear to do ours, & thereby excite pleasurable or uneasy sensations', from the 'researches about atmospheric phaenomena etc.' by thomas forster (london, 1813), 'in the formation of thunder storms i have noticed that when the rain actually begins to form and descend, the intensity of the blackness is not so great as where the cumulostratus is only going into a state of nimbus. if therefore the density is increased in the formation of drops of water, the blackness must depend on some other peculiarity of structure', from an article in 'the philosophical magazine' (vol. xli, london, 1813) written by thomas forster, 'to establish meteorology on a solid basis we should inquire into the extent and constitution of the medium we breathe and assist external observation by the different philosophical instruments which implicate at all times the exact condition and qualities of that mutable fluid', from the 'treatise on meteorology' by john leslie in the quarterly journal of science, literature, and the arts (vol. xiv, article x, london, 1823) 'white clouds on a grey ground, is one of the most certain indications of a mixture of two currents possessed of different constitutions. storms are more sudden from the west points, in their commencement and are preceded by greater indications of commotion in the atmosphere, are attended with greater variations of the barometer, are more squally in their progress, more partial in their extent and generally of less duration than those from an east point', from 'remarks upon meteorology; with a specimen of a new meteorological table' by dr.bostock, as it appeared in 'a journal of natural philosophy, chemistry and the arts' by william nicholson (vol. xxv, london, 1810),  'the limit, or boundary of the atmosphere terminates where the expansive force or power of the air, upwards, or from the earth's surface is completely overcome by the force or power of gravitation downwards, or towards the earth's surface, which is estimated at about 44 or 45 miles. it is computed that it would extend only to about 5 ½ miles in height if it were so compressed, that its density throughout should equal its degree of density near the surface of the earth', from an essay 'on the barometer' by richard walker of oxford, published in 'the philosophical magazine' by alexander tilloch (vol. xl, july -

i asked him whether the information was correct, he merely answered that he had heard of it, but did not know the extent of the injury and made no further comment - but passed on to some other subject of trifling importance\u0085..his indifference arose solely from the habit of attributing everything to fate\u0085..we often see individual turks here and have recently had a turkish ship of war with a seraskeen or admiral on board who with his squadron have been for some time cooperating with the army of the grand vizir in reducing the rebellious chiefs of albania, thessaly & epirus to subjection, indeed some of these subjects are yet within view on the opposite shores and they occasionally open fire on the inhabitants of the different towns along the coast', continuing 'you are aware the present sultan is a great reformist - he has introduced the european manner of exercise & fighting among his troops and\u0085..has also caused their dress to be changed - so that now instead of the graceful turban & flowing robe which distinguished the turkish soldier, you see his soldiers & sailors attired in military jackets like our men\u0085..it has even been reported that he has so far overcome old prejudices as to have taken his favourite sultana & her daughter to some evening party\u0085\u0085this is indeed the greatest innovation of all if true for you must have heard that the turkish women are kept enclosed in their houses or walled gardens not to be seen by men except they be closely veiled' and also reports of his immediate surroundings, 'the ionian islands contain among their inhabitants people from nearly all the neighbouring countries and therefore you may imagine that there is a great variety of dresses to be seen\u0085..they were originally venetians and\u0085\u0085afterwards became a greek colony & then venetian and subsequently have been under the rule of russia and france and last of all under the protection of england\u0085\u0085all of them are very picturesque and now that good roads have been formed in them they form pleasant places of residences except for the summer months when either the excessive heat or malaria they become often unhealthy. this year has been an exception and there have been few cases of fever. i have only visited corfu & zante. willy who tells me he likes raisins notwithstanding the manner in which they are messed by the women & children in preparing them, would be quite delighted with the currants of zante, the growth of which is their principal cultivation\u0085\u0085olives and the oil extracted from them are the principal articles of trade in corfu - but these are grapes grown in abundance and some tobacco\u0085..corfu is only separated from the opposite coast of albania by a channel of 6 or 7 miles in width but we cannot have any intercourse with that shore for fear of being put into quarantine\u0085..for these places being frequented by people that come & go direct to & from constantinople and other places where the plague is very frequent the people here are afraid of that pestilence being introduced into these islands. if we were not in this way prevented i should have enjoyed making a tour on the albanian shore\u0085..to see that parts where that monster ali pacha committed his dreadful atrocities\u0085..he was a very cruel bad man and richly deserved the death he afterwards met'. the final part of franklin's letter, as it exists here, continues 'i think willy has been misinformed about fine shells being procured at malta\u0085.however\u0085.i am delighted to find he turns his attention to this or any subject of natural history. your aunt has not yet joined me -

(headquarters s), october 1944 - january 1945, some stamped as top secret, in german. the documents include test reports containing various technical data relating to trials of vertical launches to 65 km in clear skies ('for observation and filming of possible in-flight break-up during ascent phase), trials of accelerometers, pyrotechnic ignition, generator batteries and fibreglass protection, further detailing results and observations including the application of new non-flammable yellow paint to aid visual tracking, satisfactory control and radio systems etc., concluding that the 'device cleared for firing' and in another test stating that the rocket had insufficient thrust and after 155 seconds of flight it was 'seen to fall into a transverse altitude' and at 210 seconds (approximately 52 km altitude) the rocket oscillated severely, turning 'into a narrow corkscrew-like twisting motion' and that, at about the same time, 'the yellow paint began to turn a sludgy brown' and at 271 seconds the rocket was 'no longer behaving abnormally' and 'exploded in bright flames'; a summary of a rocket school's training stating, in part, 'there being no experience in deployment of the a4 [the technical name of the v-2, i.e. aggregat 4] and the technology being highly advanced, the training was at first purely technical in conception. at hap 11 [heimat artillery park 11, karlshagen, pomerania] it was done in such a way that the engineers working there also acted as teachers on a first course that trained specialists for the first launch batteries' further stating that the original plan could not be implemented because a concentration of specialist rocket force manpower at hap 11 was undesirable on account of the possibility of aerial attack and therefore the headquarters were moved to koszalin, providing a table of organisation to include administrative staff, specialists including a counterespionage officer, guard platoon troops, armourers, orderlies, cooks and instructors etc., and concluding 'the staffing envisaged is necessary for the provision of the courses\u2026..special importance is accorded to training the rising generation as officers, ncos and men for the rocket forces. any reduction in the establishment here proposed would endanger the success of the planned training'; a map exercise prepared by education staff in preparation for the deployment of a long-range rocket and detailing the enemy's situation as having 'assembled strong land forces in southern sweden with numerous warships and transports off the south coast, in preparation for landing on german baltic coast' and the enemy's air situation as growing in superiority with heavy bomb attacks on kolberg and koszalin and 'many low-flying planes which\u2026.have attacked two of our supply trucks'; and a field report statement by specialist officer metzler, dated 20th january 1945 and stating, in part, 'the undersigned was posted on attachment to techn. combat unit, commissioner for special assignment (army) at the start of the deployment of the v-2 weapon in early september 1944\u2026.where he provided engineering services until the termination of the attachment in mid-january 1945\u2026..the undersigned joined the battery at haarzuilens\u2026..the firing position was located in a suburb of den haag, where the battery executed the double launch that fired the first two rockets on london. the battery was withdrawn from holland in mid-september on account of the english airborne landing at arnhem, moving to a firing position\u2026..of westphalia to bombard targets liege and antwerp\u2026..firing suffered at first from the well-known teething problems. supply left much to be desired\u2026\u2026as a result, firing operations were at first very slow\u2026..night operations were particularly inefficient\u2026..with systematic training, manning changes and exercises, firing operations have now been brought to a very high level of competence\u2026..the normal time to prepare a device for firing, from the start to launch, is on average around 90 minutes\u2026\u2026firing was in general hardly affected by enemy action, though some delays to work and firing on account of the presence of enemy aircraft had to be accepted. during deployment in holland, the firing position only once suffered a daylight attack by low flying planes using on-board armament\u2026.changes of position were thus frequently ordered while deployed in holland. in westphalia, whose landscape is dotted with many wooded copses, no change of position proved necessary. the battery fired for two months from the same position without ever being discovered by the frequent spotter planes', continuing to detail various problems and difficulties in the launches of v-2 rockets including the failure of the volkswagen motor in starting, inadequate power supply, loose fitting valves and pumps, leaks, incorrect or incomplete wiring systems, faulty circuits, combustion chamber explosions etc., and also commenting on training 'observation of a well-functioning firing platoon reveals that the steps of the launch operation follow each other like clockwork\u2026..the whole platoon being fused together into a single working unit in which each individual does what is necessary for the rapid execution of the operation, either on his own initiative or at most in response to a codeword\u2026..' some of the documents bear pencil and ink annotations and corrections. some extensive age wear, including tears, areas of paper loss, staining

a letter also docketed. william pitt the younger (1759-1806) british statesman, one of the most prominent politicians of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. he held the post of prime minister for close to twenty years, 1783-1801 & 1804-1806. the youngest prime minister of great britain in 1783 at the age of 24, and the first prime minister of the united kingdom.  \n to the 2nd october 1785 letter, downing street, at the time of wilberforce´s angelical conversion, an extremely important and exceptional content letter, referred to by william hague in his biography william pitt the younger (2005), pitt states in part `..i am indeed too deeply interested in whatever concerns you, not to be very sensibly affected by what has the appearance of a new era in your life, and so important in its consequences... i will not disguise to you that few things could go nearer my heart than to find myself differing from you essentially on any great principle. i trust and believe that it is a circumstance which can hardly occur.. they are sentiments engraved in my heart, and will never be effaced or weakened\u2026´ further writing `..you will not suspect me of thinking lightly of any moral or religious motives which guide you.. but forgive me if i cannot help expressing my fears that you are nevertheless deluding yourself into principles which have but too much tendency to counteract your own object, and to render your virtues and your talents useless both to yourself and mankind\u2026 but why then this preparation of solitude, which can hardly avoid tincturing the mind either with melancholy or superstition? if a christian may act in the several relations of life, must he seclude himself from them all to become so..´, further again writing `..you do not explain either the degree or the duration of the retirement which you have prescribed to yourself\u2026 and if you will open to me fairly the whole state of your mind on these subjects, tho´i shall venture to state to you fairly the points where i fear we may differ, and to desire you to re-examine your own ideas, where i think you mistaken..´  \n to the 19th december 1785, pitt states in part `.. as much as i wish you to bask on, under an italian sun, i am perhaps likely to be the instrument of snatching you from your present paradise, and hurrying you back to \"the rank vapours of this sin-worn world\".´  \n to the 8th april and 28th june 1788 letters, and referring to the slave trade cause motions, pitt states in part `..as to the slave trade, i wish on every account it should come forward in your hands rather than any other. but that in the present year is impracticable; and i only hope you will resolve to dismiss it as much as possible from your mind. it is both the rightest and wisest thing you can do. if it will contribute to setting you at ease, that i should personally bring it forward (supposing circumstances will admit of it being brought forward this session) your wish will decide\u2026 in one word however be assured, that i will continue to give the business constant attention, and do every thing to forward it..´, further in june saying `..the business respecting the slave trade meets just now with some rub in the house of lords.. i wonder how any human being can resist... there seems not a shadow of doubt as to the conduct of the house of commons next year, and i think with good management the difficulties in the other house may be got over..´ further again in spring 1789, `..to have the day for the slave trade postponed.. grenville and i have formed a project, of reducing the case.. into a string of resolutions.. the more we consider the case, the more irresistible it is in all its parts.´  \n to the 8th august 1792, referring to king george iii, `..i must be at windsor on sunday.. immediately on lord guildford´s death the king has written to me in the most gracious terms to say that he cannot let the wardenship of the cinque ports go to any one but myself.. in the manner in which the offer came, i have had no hesitation in accepting, and i believe you will think i have done right.´  \n to the 7th september 1796, referring to continental europe and war, pitt states in part `..the message of the directory confessing in such strong terms their distress, and the archduke´s recent victory on the 22nd give some chance that our overtures may be successful. in the meantime it will be indispensable to take very strong measures indeed both of finance and military defence; and if the spirit of the country is equal to the exigency, i am confident all will yet end well. an immediate spanish war is i think nearly certain. the only motive to it is the fear of france preponderating over their fear of us; and the pretexts as futile as could be wished.´   \n small overall minor age wear, otherwise g, 24 £15000-20000   \n  \n william wilberforce (1759-1833) british politician, member of parliament for 45 years, from 1780 to 1825. philanthropist and leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade. one of the leading english abolitionists who headed the parliamentary campaign against the british slave trade for twenty years until the passage of the slave trade act of 1807.  \n his first campaign proved to be the world's first grassroots human rights campaign. on 2 april 1792, wilberforce brought again a bill calling for abolition. the memorable debate that followed drew well-remembered contributions from the greatest orators in the house, william pitt the younger and charles james fox, as well as from wilberforce himself. lord melville as home secretary, proposed a compromise solution of so-called \"gradual abolition\" over a number of years. the bill was passed.  \n in 1785 wilberforce underwent an evangelical conversion, resolving to commit his future life and work to the service of god. at that time, religious enthusiasm was generally regarded as a social transgression and was stigmatised in polite society. wilberforce's conversion led him to question whether he should remain in public life. both john newton, a leading evangelical anglican and pitt counselled him to remain in politics, and he resolved to do so with \"increased diligence and conscientiousness\".  \n wilberforce also championed causes such as the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. his campaigns led to the slavery abolition act 1833 which abolished slavery in most of the british empire. wilberforce died just three days after hearing that the passage of the act through parliament was assured. the leading members of both houses of parliament urged that he be honoured with a burial in westminster abbey, and while tributes were paid, both houses of parliament suspended their business as a mark of respect. he was buried in westminster abbey, close to his friend william pitt the younger..  \n william wilberforce said of william pitt, \"for personal purity, disinterestedness and love of this country, i have never known his equal.\"  \n  \n william grenville (1759-1834) british prime minister 1806-07. he succeeded pitt who died being still in office. home secretary 1789-91 & secretary of

i could make purchases and load the ship in much less time. besides, the load would look like it is destined to be shipped to russia, which they do in that area now and again. this pretext would hide the destination all the more since i have known the merchants of the said islands for several years; they know i was conducting business in the black sea when i was settled in bucharest', continuing to inform napoleon that 'i could also load dry fruits, such as figs and various types of raisins. i will arrive just as the shipments to russia begin, and very certainly nobody will assume that what i bought was to be shipped to egypt. it will, moreover, be up to me to take all the precautions, for a swift and fortunate return, the season we are about to enter being the most favourable for such venture' also adding various reasons why he is 'convinced that i would easily escape our enemies' vigilance' and recommending a sailing ship and captain named hadgi ourea dipsara based in alexandria, whom he has known for a long time, adding 'it would be his decision to choose a suitable night to slip away without being seen' and concluding 'he would certainly succeed thanks to his vessel being in a superior running order, and well-found since he has 25 men, then would go to the harbour to find the 250 barrels, which is more than adequate for the goods referred to above. they will be loaded in appearance for various greek and turkish recipients, and branded as such. to add more credibility to the operation, each part will have an accompanying letter written in the oriental style.' at the conclusion of the report appears a statement in another hand, reading, in full, 'desirous of favouring the said commercial undertaking, as much as to have news of what is happening on the archipelago as to procure wine for egypt, citizen poussielque will draw up a report for me concerning the means at our disposal for procuring the above mentioned cargo'. the instruction is signed by napoleon at the conclusion. a document of fascinating content. some very light, extremely minor age wear and one very small, neat tear to the upper right corner of the final page, only very slightly running through two lines of text, vg £2000-3000 in 1798 bonaparte led a military expedition to egypt which was to serve as a springboard to his goal of achieving political power (a coup was orchestrated by bonaparte in november 1799 with the result of him becoming first consul of the republic).  in august 1798, the month before the present document was signed, the british fleet commanded by horatio nelson had captured or destroyed all but two french vessels in the battle of the nile which had severely damaged napoleon's desire to strengthen the french position in the mediterranean. his army had succeeded in a temporary increase of french power in egypt, although it faced repeated uprisings.  citizen poussielque served as the chief administrator of the french army."},"estimateMax":3600,"lotNumber":"999","title":{"es":"napoleon i: (1769-1821) french military and political leader, emperor of france 1804-14, 1815. a ver..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/9332/lot/116458/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_booksmagazinespaper","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":2400,"soldPrice":2200,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T04:59:48.033Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac2,400 -
