He also discovered McClintock Channel, but was unable to cross its rough ice. In 1860 he had command of the \u003ci\u003eFox\u003c\/i\u003e in the north Atlantic telegraph expedition, which surveyed a telegraph route between Europe and America via the Faeroes, Iceland, and Greenland. He visited the east coast of Greenland, but, believing it to be impracticable for a cable route, did not land. He sailed on for the west coast, landed with Rae (who was in charge of the land part of the expedition), and ascended to the ice cap near Julianehåb; but he returned on deciding that a telegraph line could not be carried across Greenland' (ODNB). Young later travelled to Baffin Bay in support of Sir George Nares' 1875-1876 Arctic expedition and returned the following year, when 'in spite of great difficulties [he] landed dispatches for Nares at Cape Isabella and Littleton Island' (\u003ci\u003eop\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003ecit\u003c\/i\u003e.); for his services to Nares' expedition, Young was knighted in 1877, shortly before this portrait was executed.

These officials collected the taxes that sustained the war effort, requisitioned horses and supplies for the army, and carried out Parliament’s decrees.

Bourgoing. The author Baron de Cormatin was a French officer and supporter of the Revolution who placed his manuscript in the library of the Duc de Chatelet, which led to confusion about the authorship. The work is a complete topography of the motherland and the Portuguese colonies on the other side of the Atlantic. Information on Portugal was much in demand in Britain, due to the Peninsular War (the decisive second battle of Porto ended with an Anglo-Portuguese victory in May 1809), trade relations and the settlement of the entire court of Lisbon in Brazil, which made Rio de Janeiro the capital of Portugal from 1808 until 1821, and opened up important trade for Britain with the largest country in Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eProvenance\u003c\/i\u003e: We believe that this copy belonged to a member of the family of the naval officer Sir Philip Carteret, second baronet  Silvester (1777–1828), who in 1812 was stationed in Lisbon onboard the 46-gun frigate Pomone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbbey, Travel, 220; See Borba De Moraes p. 179 for the French edition on 1797 only ('a classic work'); COPAC locates merely three copies in Britain, at the National Trust, King's College and in the BL.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: \u003c\/strong\u003e2101068\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sotherans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56178332500345,"sku":"2101068","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/2178\/7426\/products\/2101068_bbdb5233-8c51-4667-9bb6-d55331cf7521.jpg?v=1575445015"},{"product_id":"cottingham-lewis-nockalls-a-collection-of-architectural-ornaments-and-decorations-selected-from-the-best-authorities","title":"COTTINGHAM, Lewis Nockalls.

Scrope Davies’s leather trunk was identified, and as Davies being a close associate of both Byron and Shelley, the news was pronounced swoon worthy. The trunk’s contents were deposited on loan to the Department of Manuscripts at the British Library, and the papers were bound into twenty-three volumes, two of which consisted entirely of letters and bills from bankers and moneylenders and two of records of bets. Of course, the trunk also held an original manuscript of Canto 3 of Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage and two previously unknown sonnets (“Hymn to Intellectual Beauty” and “Mont Blanc”) by Shelley, the find was termed a major success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus was Scrope Davies, a man in the know in the Byron tempestuous circle. Davies was an inveterate gambler and a prodigal spender. According to tales of the time, he lost between £16,000 and £17,000 in one calendar year. He was known to drink heavily and to womanize freely.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBevis Hillier, as a distant relation, was given the chance to look at the trunk at an early stage.  Barclays also allowed him to write the front-page scoop in the London Times about the find.  In acknowledgement of his role in breaking the news to the nation and the family connection, Barclays gave Hillier this visting card from the trunk, which he then made pasted onto the sheet of \u003ci\u003eParisina\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sprightly foreword by Bevis Hillier to T.
