Execution Broadside.- Senegal.- very Last Dying Words, (The) of Governor Wall, Who was executed before the Debtors' Door at Newgate, London, on Thursday, January 28, 1802, for the Wilful Murder of Benjamin Armstrong, In the Island of Goree, in Africa, in the Year 1782, by causing him to be flogged to death by Black Slaves in the presence of himself and the rest of a Regiment, printed broadside, small marginal loss, scattered staining, obscuring odd letter, laid onto paper, ex-Nottingham library with neat ink-stamp to verso, c.375 x 170 mm., Burbage and Stretton, [1802]. *** Rare. Seemingly unrecorded. Joseph Wall (1737-1802) was the notorious Colonial Governor of the island of Gorée, near Dakar, Senegal, between 1779 and 1782. Gorée had been a part of the Atlantic Slave trade until the 1770's when the trade declined. He was already known for his cruelty, however it was his reaction to a deputation from the African Corps, led by Sergeant Benjamin Armstrong, asking for settlement on their pay and back-pay, before Wall left the country, that led to his notoriety. Without calling for the necessary court-martial, an apparently drunken Wall charged the deputation with mutiny and insisted on them being flogged for 800 lashes each, with a "rope one inch in diameter" by black slaves. Three of the deputation, including Sergeant Ben Armstrong, died as a result. Due to difficulties providing witnesses, and Wall absconding arrest it was not until 1802 that he was finally tried and executed.

They lost all their provisions, and after 16 days of dehydration and starvation the Captain proposed "one should suffer for all, and that lot lots should be drawn between the four boys, as they had no families, and could not be considered so great a loss to their friends as those who had wives and children depending on them."

FIRST EDITION. RARE. "The work on asthma is ... very noteworthy, not only as containing excellent clinical observations, but as giving the first account, derived from dissection, of the change in the lungs now called emphysema, which is found in one of the forms of asthma as then understood. This observation, which has been often quoted in modern text-books, was made not on the human subject, but on a broken-winded mare. Floyer clearly distinguishes spasmodic asthma (from which he himself suffered), and assigns for it the same cause as do most modern authorities, viz. : 'contraction of the muscular fibres of the bronchia'. His other medical writings are less important" (DNB). Garrison & Morton 3166: "Floyer himself suffered from asthma for over 30 years. He recognised the influence of heredity in asthma. The above [work] includes (p.239) an important early account of emphysema."

Ticking and striking. 39 cms (15.5ins) high. Footnotes:Frederick Gustav Adolph Horstmann (1828-1893) was born in Oesterweg, Westphalia in Prussia. He began an apprenticeship, at the age of fourteen, as a jeweler and watchmaker in Geneva. In the wake of the Revolutions of 1848 , he had emigrated to Britain taking up a position with the clockmakers Dwerrihouse & Co., London. He moved to Bath around 1856 where he established a successful business as a jeweler and watchmaker. He married Louisa, a girl from the Somerset Knotts family. There were four sons by this marriage and all eventually joined the family clockmaking business, which lasted as a retail business until 1925.An advertisement for the business in 1881 also referred to Horstmann as 'the inventor and patentee of...clocks wound by the year' of which the present lot is presumably an example. 'Gustav Horstmann invented many ingenious mechanisms, such as self-winding clocks, the first of which relied on the change between day and night temperature, but later ones on the expansion of liquids, metals and gases. He was a pioneer of thermostatic control, which he employed to operate flue dampers to obtain an even room temperature and even to open and close the windows of his house. Another of his inventions was a screw micrometer capable of measuring to one ten-thousands of an inch, which pre-dated Whitworth's more convenient micrometer of 1858 by two years.' After the death of Gustav, the sons eventually founded the Horstmann Gear Company which today is known as the Horstman Group 'comprising businesses units in the UK, US and Canada...providing... product development manufacture and defense project management in heavy armored and tracked vehicle suspension systems.'References:Stuart Burroughs.

LENIN VLADIMIR: (1870-1924) Russian revolutionary and politician who served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia 1917-24 and of the Soviet Union 1922-24 & TSIURUPA ALEXANDER (1870-1928) Bolshevik leader and Soviet politician who served as People's Commissar for Food of the RSFSR 1918-21. A rare D.S. by both Lenin ('V Ulyanov (Lenin)') and Tsiurupa ('A Tsyurupa') individually, one page, folio, Kremlin, Moscow, 20th June 1919, with the stamped heading of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic Workers and Peasants Defence Council, in Cyrillic. The typed document is addressed to Narkomprod (People's Commissariat for Food Supplies) of Crimea and states, in part, 'Considering the severity of the food situation in Russia, and the enormous shortages of food for children, especially for sick children, I suggest that all canned fruits available in Crimea, as well as cheese, should be earmarked solely for feeding sick children in Northern Russia. Products should be sent to Komprod's address'. Signed at the conclusion by Lenin in his capacity as Chairman of the Defence Council and by Tsiurupa in his capacity as People's Commissar for Food Supplies, alongside an official circular purple ink stamp. Some very light, extremely minimal age wear, VGThe People's Commissariat for Food Supplies (also known by it's abbreviation Narkomprod) was originally founded in 1917 and was the ministry of the Russian SFSR in charge of food supplies and industrial goods.Lenin and Tsiurupa signed the present document at a significant time during the Russian Civil War (1917-23) throughout which Crimea changed hands numerous times. Whilst it was governed by the Bolsheviks in June 1919, it would not be long before it became the stronghold of the anti-Bolshevik White Army under the command of General Anton Denikin. It is therefore possible that Lenin and Tsiurupa, aware of the situation facing Crimea, were attempting to get as much food as they could out of the area before it was too late.

Ramolino has signed the manuscript letter at the base, beneath three handwritten lines in the hand of her brother Cardinal Fesch. The document relates to a credit that Letizia Ramolino endorses to her brother. The document states ´A nome della Republica francese una ed indivisibile. Il citaddino Domenico Salini di questa cittá, cognito constituito & alla presenza di me notaio, e dei testimoni sottoscritti, sponte & ed in ogni miglior modo & per se i suoi eredi, e successori, ha confessato, e dichiarato, siccome dichiara, e confessa di essere vero, liquido, e real debitore della cittadina Maria Lettizia vedova Bonaparte presente, ed accetante me notaio & della somma e partita di lire due mila, e cento al corso di francia da esso prima d´ora avute e ricevute in tanti grossi scudi di francia, piastre, o siano pezze dure di Spagna, francesconi ed altre buone monete... giurando in forma e quindi detto cittadino Salini si obliga e promette rendere e restituire alla detta cittadina Lettizia Bonaparte...´ (Translation: "On behalf of the one and indivisible French Republic. The citizen Domenico Salini of this city, constituted and in the presence of me, the notary, and of the undersigned witnesses, spontaneously and in every best way and for himself his heirs and successors, has confessed and declared, as he declares and confesses to be true, liquid, and real debtor of the citizen Maria Lettizia widow Bonaparte present, and accepting me notary & of the sum and amount of two thousand lire, and one hundred at the French rate received from it before now and received in many large coins of France, or whether they are hard pieces of Spain, Franciscans and other good coins... by swearing in form and therefore said citizen Salini undertakes and promises to return to the said citizen Lettizia Bonaparte....") Signed at the base by the Notary Jean Joseph Pozzo di Borgo. Before Ramolino´s signature, her brother the Cardinal Fesch adds three lines in his hand, and on behalf of his siter states `Io cedo il presente credito tanto per i frutti che per il capitale a mio fratello Fesch che me le ha rimborsati´ (Translation: "I assign the present credit both for the fruits and for the capital to my brother Fesch who has reimbursed it to me") Paper with watermark. Bearing to the bottom left corner a collection stamp of the former and prestigeous Lindesiana collection. Overall age wear, small staining, with small professional repair to the edges and fold. G
