CRIMEAN WAR. Lieutenant James Hornby Buller, 57th (West Middlesex) Regiment. Autograph letter signed, to his father. October 21st 1854, the Heights above Sebastopol. This letter is written shortly before Buller was listed as severely wounded whilst on duty in the trenches before Sebastopol on 24th October 1854 and again while being carried back to the camp. Four sides, 18cm x 11cm, with external envelope. Excerpts include:21st October, Heights above Sebastopol "On the 22nd of September we disembarked from the Mauritius—but as I told you, were embarked again the same evening. On the 23rd we disembarked at the Katchka River & marched 4 miles & joined our division which is the 4th commanded by Sir Geo. Cathcart. On the 24th we went to Balbec. The Russian Army or rather part passed within two miles on the night of the 23rd retreating, but they did not attack us or we might have suffered.""On the 26th we had a long hot march without water as the Russians had cut it off and the men suffered awfully. On the 27th we marched to the Heights above Sebastopol and found we were the only division arrived. Up to the present time we have been waiting here, the Russians occasionally amusing themselves by throwing a shot in amongst us, which so far has not touched one of us, altho' a few yards more or less would...""We have lost as yet but few men, all from Cholera which the experience of the cold renders more fatal. We get a little biscuit, salt pork, a wine glass of Rum, a little coffee & sugar for the Day, but nothing more we can get. £5 has been offered for a Bottle of Brandy.""It was first exciting, hearing the shot whistling by right & left of you, but now unless very near it passes unheeded. The cause of our delay is that the Siege Train has not arrived & if we were to begin without it, no one can say the amount of lives that would be lost. For every night the Russians are putting up fresh Batteries & putting their ships' Guns into them." Footnote:James Hornby Buller (1831-1895) retired on half-pay with the rank of Captain on 10th November 1856. He later became a Lieutenant-Colonel by purchase on 28th May 1870.

A PAIR OF FLAT-CUT URNS AND COVERS CIRCA 1790, probably Irish, the domed covers with knobbed finials, the bodies with fluting of large diamonds on circular facet-cut stems and on square stepped bases, each 29cm highWhilst there was glass manufacture in Waterford before the 18th century, the county’s production took on its infamous name with the establishment of the Waterford Glasshouse in 1783. The company was founded by George and William Penrose, two businessmen who wished to take advantage of Ireland’s free trade agreement with Britain. They poured £10,000 pounds into the venture and hired master craftsmen from England to produce a glass known for its absolute clarity.Sadly, the economic benefits could not last and in 1788 an act was passed that forbade the export of glass from Ireland. However, the local Irish market was strong enough to keep the glasshouse afloat until 1851 when high tax rates on flint glass forced Waterford Glass to close, joining the many that had already folded before it. The glasshouse was offered for sale but, viewed as a hopeless investment, there were no takers. Condition Report: Example 1: Two nicks to the inside rim and to flute of cover A number of very small nicks to the rim of the urn and to the stepped base Overall very presentable Example 2: Cover is very good, very small chip to base of finial (hard to capture on camera) Some small chips to urn rum Small chips and scratching to base Overall good and attractiveSee additional images
