Dey, William Duthie, Lance Corporal 92nd Gordon Highlanders [2nd Batallion] Manuscript book of poems dated 14th April 1897-c.1930?, 8vo, 161 hand-written pages, many poems apparently composed by Dey, with others being copies, subjects include the 1881 Battle of Majuba Hill, a tribute to ‘George Stewart [George Stewart McLennan?] (late Pipe Major)’, love, reminiscences of schooldays and other works concerning the regiment’s history Note: The title-page of the book reads: “Lance Corpl William Duthie Dey, “H.” coy. 92nd Gordon Highlanders. Aldershot 14th April 1897”. However, the text seems to have been written over many years, hence the poem dedicated to George McLennan, who died in 1929. William Duthie Dey possibly died in Johannesburg in 1936, having reached the rank of sergeant - this would have made him a man in his late fifties at least at his time of death, if he were an adult when the journal was begun.

Glencoe Massacre interest Robert Campbell of Glenlyon Letter, c.20x16.5cm, dated 1692, with address and seal to verso, on one side of folded paper, from Captain Robert Campbell of Glenlyon addressed to Colin Campbell of Carquhen, asking him to pay John Christhom 5 dolars and writing that he has given him £3 to pay his 'booty', Campbell states that he has missed Lord Argyll and must be away Note: The massacre of Glencoe took place on 13th February 1692. The Secretary of State in Scotland, The Earl of Stair desired to discourage the Highland clans from their
£300-400
traditional support for the now deposed Jacobite king. To that end he obliged each clan chieftain to swear allegiance to the new king, William of Orange. When Alastair MacIain, the chief of the MacDonald clan in Glencoe was delayed in signing this oath, The Earl of Stair saw an opportunity to demonstrate the authority and power of the King by eradicating this small clan. In order to execute his plan, Stair employed Robert Campbell of Glenlyon and his Earl of Argyll's Regiment of Foot to perform the ghastly deed and the regiment was billeted amongst the Glencoe families. Campbell had joined the regiment following the destruction of his property by the MacIains of Glencoe and their Glengarry cousins. However, crucially he never directly blamed the MacIains of Glencoe for this. Despite some suspicion, the MacDonalds’ tradition for highland hospitality prevailed and they welcomed the soldiers into their homes for several days before the order for the massacre was delivered. Following the massacre, an inquiry was conducted. However, due to the king's involvement, the waters were muddied by claims of interclan rivalry between Campbells and MacDonalds. Despite never directly blaming the MacIains of Glencoe during the inquiry into the destruction of his property, Robert Campbell's involvement in the massacre was used as a vehicle for this claim. The letter for sale shows Robert Campbell trying to make contact with Lord Argyll and settling soldiers' payments whilst hurrying away following the massacre. £300-500

Napier escaped Linlithgow Castle and joined his brother-in-law, the Marquess of Montrose, at the Battle of Philiphaugh. After losing the battle, Montrose and Napier escaped to the Highlands.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and others - Cookery A collection of 5 letters written to a Mrs Taylor, thanking her for cooking and asking advice on possible cooks to employ, including: two letters from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, dated 1924 and 1928 respectively asking Mrs Taylor to advise on a good cook, each signed ‘Elizabeth’; letter from 11 Downing Street, dated 7th December 1927, stating that Mrs Churchill was “very much pleased with the delicious dinner...”, in a secretarial hand; and 2 others from Beatrice Lascelles and V. Clark; [AND] Manuscript list of ingredients for a meal or event on Holland House note paper, including “12 live lobsters”; [AND] Manuscript recipe book entitled “Cooking Notes” with the inscription “Alice M. Bond ? ? Training College” and “Miss Griggs” to the upper cover, 41pp. manuscript recipes, c.25x19cm; [AND] 46 menu cards, 1920s1930s, from meals at the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Dudley House, Wentworth Woodhouse and other locations (quantity) Note: This collection appears to relate to a cook called Mrs Taylor, whose address is given as “White Lodge, Richmond Park” in a letter of 1924 from the Duchess of York (later to become Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother). At the time, the White Lodge, now the Royal Ballet School, was inhabited by Queen Mary, mother of George VI, and it would seem reasonable to assume that Mrs Taylor was the household’s cook. Subsequent letters reveal that Mrs Taylor’s skills became highly respected and sought after in London society in the 1920s and 1930s.

Scottish Antarctic Expedition - Robert C. Mossman, meteorologist Scrapbook, c.32x26cm, containing a record of the experiences of Robert C. Mossman, meteorologist on board the Antarctic Ship “Scotia”, comprising: 17 letters written by Robert Mossman to his father and another relation, Isabella, charting his journey and experiences on board the ship, visiting destinations on his journey South such as Kingstown in Ireland, Madeira, the Cape Verde Islands, Port Stanley, the South Orkneys and Buenos Aires, written between 1902 and 1905, many mentioning other crew members, wildlife, living conditions and his meteorological work; also a letter from expedition leader William Bruce to Mossman’s father, from Port Stanley on 9th February 1904, relating to Robert’s work; also 7 faded photographs, between c.12 x 16 and 16 x 20cm, taken at Port Stanley and sent home by Robert Mossman, showing penguins, a ‘sea elephant’, and views of Port Stanley - the images were engraved and reproduced in the ‘Edinburgh Evening Dispatch’; also 3 smaller very faded photographs showing men on board a ship; also many newspaper clippings and magazine offprints relating to the expedition, such as: Bruce, W.S. The Scottish Antarctic expedition [offprint from?] The Scottish Geographical Magazine, June 1990, blue wrappers, map; [AND] Illuminated calligraphic manuscript produced [in Buenos Aires?] for Mossman on the occasion of his retirement in 1938, comprising 12 vellum leaves with a full-page illustration of the South Orkneys, signed G. Siniscalchi, A.R. Politi and C.A. Navarro to final page, album c.21 x 30cm, red calf gilt; [AND] Album containing at least 19 photographs of Buenos Aires and Argentina and one of Brazilian women (3) Note: The Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, led by William Speirs Bruce, officially lasted from 1902-1904. Notable achievements include the establishment of a manned meteorological station in Antarctic territory: the Orcades weather station was set up in 1903 on Laurie Island in the South Orkneys and was named “Ormond House”. The “Antarctic Ship Scotia”, in which the expedition members sailed, was a refurbished Norwegian whaling ship. It was transformed into an Antarctic research vessel under Bruce’s supervision. Robert Mossman was one of the six scientific personnel on board the ship and was the appointed meteorologist and expert in magnetics. Educated at the Edinburgh Royal High School, Mossman became involved with meteorological work on Ben Nevis before embarking on the Scottish Antarctic Expedition. His letters to his father and Isabella give an excellent impression of his journey: he describes flying fish landing on deck near the Cape Verde Islands, shark infested waters before reaching Port Stanley, Christmas dinner on board the ship, catching a sunfish with a harpoon and being “frozen in” at Laurie Island for “nearly eight months”. The letters also reference his meteorological work after being left on Laurie Island by Bruce and the “Scotia” to continue work at Ormond House. He writes: “The geographical position of the South Orkneys renders meteorological observations there of immense value.” The final six letters in the book are sent in February and March 1905, as Mossman was writing meteorological papers in Buenos Aires and preparing to return home. The album would seem to have been compiled by Robert Mossman’s father or Isabella, whose ownership signature appears to the half-title of lot 340. £2,000-3,000
