[Woodhead, Joseph]. Catalogue or Guide to the Liverpool Museum of Anatomy. Liverpool: Matthews Brothers, Printers, [c. 1870s]. 64-page pamphlet. Original light blue wrappers printed in black. Engraving depicting the museum on the lower wrapper, 1 engraving within the text. Wrappers rubbed, dulled, and spotted, minor crease to the upper corner slightly affecting the contents. Very good condition.The Liverpool Museum of Anatomy was one of a number of such museums in the UK and US that specialised in wax anatomical models and, unlike many of the museums of professional medical organisations, were open to the public. It offered a wide variety of exhibits on the human body, including most of the internal organs; the skeleton; digestion ("articles of human food, and what they are converted into"); common surgical procedures such as the removal of kidney stones; and the usual exhibits on STDs, obstetrics (including a caesarian section model and anatomical venuses), masturbation, circumcision, hermaphrodites, and "freaks of nature". The admittance of women into such museums was controversial, but defended by many proprietors as an important educational opportunity for women who cared for their families' health. This booklet advertises the Museum's hours of admission for ladies as being Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-5pm, and also offers a course of six lectures on midwifery (p. 26). One of the exhibits aimed specifically at women was on the "dreadful effects of tight lacing" (p. 52).This catalogue is rare. A search on WorldCat locates only four copies, at the Wellcome Library, Harvard, the University of Rochester, and the Getty Research Institute.

StaffSome 48 Medals issued to the Staff, 3 of these to Interpreters and all with clasp '1879'.'The Border Horse now began to fire at the distant snipers, and Wood waited to see what effect the shots might have. A Zulu suddenly popped up from a rock a scant fifty yards away and fired. Wood noted that the shot seemed low, but Lloyd fell back, exclaiming, "I'm hit - badly! My back is broken!" Wood and Campbell caught him and carried him down to the stone kraal. Wood then started back up, leading his horse, but a shot struck it and killed it, and when he regained the kraal he found that Lloyd had died. Wood now ordered Weatherley to take the Border Horse up to clear the trail, but the men balked again. Campbell then picked up Lysons and four privates from Wood's escort and started up the trail in single file, making for a cave from which several Zulus were firing. The narrow passage was only two feet wide between towering rock walls, and as Campbell plunged into the mouth of the cave, a Zulu fired a shot straight into his forehead, killing him instantly. Undaunted, Lysons and Private Edmun Fowler sprang over his body, driving the Zulus into the recesses of the mountain. Lysons then held the mouth of the cave while the others dragged Campbell's body back to the kraal…'High drama on Hlobane Mountain on 29 March 1879; The Washing of the Spears by Donald R. Morris, refersThe outstanding South Africa Medal awarded to Mr. L. Lloyd, Evelyn's Wood's interpreter, who - in one of the most contentious episodes of the conflict - was mortally wounded in the disastrous action at Hlobane on 29 March 1879South Africa 1877-79, 1 clasp, 1879 (L. Lloyd, Esq., Interpreter), suspension claw tightened, minor contact wear, very fineLlewelyn Lloyd was a prominent casualty in the disastrous action fought at Hlobane Mountain on 28 March 1879, his death being indelibly linked to that of Captain Hon. R. G. E. Campbell of the Coldstream Guards, as outlined in Colonel Evelyn Wood's much quoted despatch to Lord Chelmsford. It was an episode in which incompetence played its role, amidst charges of cowardice, and has accordingly remained the subject of ongoing debate.In fact, no history of the Zulu War would be complete without mention of this contentious chapter, some historians claiming that Wood (later Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood, V.C., G.C.B., G.C.M.G.) momentarily lost the plot.An excellent account of events may be found in John Young's Horror at the Devil's Pass - The Battle of Hlobane, 28 March 1879, from which the following extract has been taken:'…Dawn broke and a new horror became apparent. The Zulus were behind prepared barricades and concealed within caves that riddled the mountain, awaiting the assault. From behind their positions, the Zulus opened fire on the scaling troops. Two officers of the Frontier Light Horse, Lieutenants Otto von Stietencron and George Williams, fell dead, two troopers also fell to the fire.Wood and his escort rode to the sound of the firing. Just below the summit of the mountain plateau they chanced upon Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick Augustus Weatherley and his Border Lancers. Weatherley's unit should have been with Buller, but during the storm they had become separated and now lagged behind. Wood spied a Zulu rifleman level his gun in his direction and he expressed his contempt of the Zulu marksmanship. The Zulu fired, and his bullet found its mark, shattering the spine of Mr. Llewelyn Lloyd, Wood's Political Assistant and his interpreter, who was at Wood's side. Wood attempted to lift the mortally wounded man, but stumbled under the weight. Captain the Honourable Ronald Campbell, Coldstream Guards, Wood's chief staff officer, came to his aid and carried the dying Lloyd out of the line of fire. Again a Zulu fired at Wood, killing his lead mount. The horse fell against Wood, and caused him to stumble.A gasp went up from his men, fearing their commander wounded. Wood shouted a reassurance that he was not hit, and picking himself up, he made his way downhill to the troops' position. Angered at being pinned-down, Wood ordered Lieutenant-Colonel Weatherley to assault the position from where the fire was coming. Weatherley in turn, addressed his men, ordering them forward, but only Lieutenant J. Pool and Sub-Lieutenant H. W. Parminter responded to the command. The remainder of the Border Horse refused to assault the position, saying that it was unassailable. Captain Campbell was horrified; this was tantamount to mutiny - if not cowardice.Campbell was of ennobled birth, the son of the 2nd Earl Cawdor. Such behaviour was unheard of within the class to which he belonged. Uttering his contempt of the fainthearted volunteers, he sprang forward towards the foe, supported by Second-Lieutenant Henry Lysons, 90th Light Infantry and four mounted infantrymen of Wood's personal escort, also drawn from the 90th. The small party advanced in a determined manner, clambering over boulders and through crevices, which led to the Zulu position. The path was so narrow that the advance could only be made in single file. Campbell gained the mouth of the cave first, only to be shot in the head at point-blank. Undeterred, Lysons and Private Edmund Fowler carried the position, forcing the Zulus to withdraw into a series of subterranean passages and, with Lysons and Fowler in pursuit, they killed all those who offered resistance, and put the others to flight.With Lysons covering the cave mouth, Campbell's body was brought down and placed alongside Lloyd, who had succumbed to his wound. Fearful of the bodies being mutilated, Wood decided to bury them on the field. Being the son of a clergyman, he wished to conduct a proper burial service, only to realise that his service book was still in the wallets of his saddle on his dead mount. He ordered his bugler, Alexander Walkinshaw, to recover the prayer book. Walkinshaw, whom Wood described as "one of the bravest men in the Army," calmly strode up, under heavy fire and recovered not only the prayer book but also the entire saddle.Wood had the two bodies removed some three hundred yards downhill, to where the soil was less rocky and the Zulus of Wood's escort dug the grave with their spears, under the watchful eye of Prince Mthonga. Their task completed, Wood committed the two bodies to the ground, reading an abridged version of the burial service from a prayer book which belonged to Captain Campbell's wife, who was the daughter of the Bishop of Rochester, Kent…'Lieutenant Henry Lysons and Private Edmund Fowler, both of the 90th Regiment, were awarded the Victoria Cross.PostscriptOn 21 May 1880, Mrs. Campbell was taken to Hlobane where a headstone was placed on the grave of her husband and Llewelyn Lloyd. Some of the party, including Empress Eugenie, actually climbed up the Devil's Pass to the summit. Finally, they reached the site where the Prince Imperial was killed. Another memorial stone was laid and the empress planted cuttings of a tree she had brought from the family estate at Camden Place in Chislehurst. The grief-stricken party returned to England by the end of July.… 25001 SALEROOM NOTICE:Clasp an old tailors copy, naming details as described. The estimate is revised to £6,000-8,000.

'On Tuesday May 27th, the crew of the NC-4 was up before dawn. The engines and radio was checked out and on the signal from Read, Elmer Stone advanced the throttles and the big flying boat lifted off in the early morning for Lisbon Portugal. Another chain of destroyers extended between the Azores and Lisbon. The weather was good and as the NC-4 passed over each destroyer the ship radioed a message of her passage to the base ship Melville at Ponta Delagada and the cruiser Rochester in Lisbon who in turn reported to the Navy Department in Washington. At 19:30 the flashing light from the Coba da Roca lighthouse was spotted and the NC-4 passed over the coastline. The big aircraft turned southward toward the Tagus estuary and Lisbon. At 20:01 on May 27, 1919, the NC-4s keel sliced into the waters of the Tagus. The welcome was tumultuous. A transatlantic flight, the first one in the history of the world, was an accomplished fact!Early in the morning of 30 May the NC-4 departed Lisbon for Plymouth England. The NC-4 sat down in the Mondego River to investigate an overheating engine. The radiator had developed a leak and was repaired but because of a low tide condition it became too late in the day to take off and reach Plymouth before dark so Read proceeded to Ferrol in northern Spain to spend the night. They were back in the air the next morning and as they approached Plymouth a formation of Royal Air Force seaplanes escorted the NC-4 into the harbour. A British warship fired a 21 gun salute as the NC-4 circled. The Lord Mayor of Plymouth received Commander Read and his crew and from Plymouth they went to London where they were decorated by the King of England. President Wilson, who was at the Peace Conference in Paris, sent for them, congratulated them for their outstanding achievement and introduced them to all present…'The triumphant closing stages of the NC-4's pioneering trans-Atlantic flight in May 1919; the U.S. Coast Guard's 'Aviation History' website refers.The important Aero Club of America Aviation Medal of Merit, Artefacts and Archive appertaining to Walter T.

Hinton was born in Pleasant Township, Van Wert County, Ohio on 10 November 1888, where he was raised on a farmstead. An adventurous soul, he was motivated by a poster urging young men to 'Join the Navy and See the World' and did just that, entering the United States Navy in February 1908 and seeing action at the occupation of Veracruz in Mexico in 1914.But it was in naval aviation that he was to make his mark, having become one of the first enlisted men gain a place at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. He became an instructor on gaining his 'Wings', one of his pupil pilots being Richard E. Byrd, afterwards the famous polar aviator.Of his subsequent exploits as co-pilot with Elmer Stone of the Curtiss NC-4's trail blazing trans-Atlantic crossing in May 1919, much has been written, including The Flying Firsts of Walter Hinton, by Benjamin J. Burns. In addition, numerous website sources bear testament to the epic nature of the flight, a particularly detailed account appearing on the U.S. Coast Guard's 'Aviation History' site:https://cgaviationhistory.org/1919-nc-4-transatlantic-flight/Of the three flying boats that set out from Rockaway Beach, New York on 8 May 1919, only NC-4 made it safely to Lisbon, via ports of call in Nova Scotia and the Azores in a journey lasting 19 days. The subject of rapturous receptions over the coming weeks - not just in Lisbon, but in London and Paris too - Hinton and his crew enjoyed further accolades by way of reward, among them honours bestowed by the Portuguese and British governments, in addition to those presented them on returning to America; Hinton's Navy Cross was later surpassed by a Congressional Gold Medal awarded him in 1929.During the 1920s, he continued his pioneering work, exploring the Arctic by balloon, including a wayward flight in Navy Balloon A-5598 from Rockaway Naval Air Station to Moose Factory, Ontario, a winter trip which ended with a month-long hike back to civilisation. He also made the first flight from North America to South America, where he explored the Amazon forest by hydroplane; his first attempt at that feat nearly ended in disaster, when he was compelled to take to the wing of his aircraft in shark infested waters off Cuba.A noted speaker on aviation matters, Hinton was President and founder of the Aviation Institute of the U.S.A., and published a number of periodicals, including Pioneers in Aviation, Aviation Progress and Wings of Opportunity.Retiring to Pompano Beach, Florida - where he delighted in sharing his memories with all and sundry - his glittering career was crowned by a supersonic flight in Concorde, when, as a special guest, the Atlantic crossing took less than four hours. After his death in 1981, his ashes were interred at Arlington National Cemetery. SALE 25001 NOTICE:Gold match safe weighs 34g. Naming of the Aero Club of America Medal now added to the Lot.

R.F.C.); British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (Major A. T. Whitelock. R.F.C.); Coronation 1937, mounted as worn, very fine (4)Arthur Thomas Whitelock was born on 25 March 1888, was educated at Archbishop Holgate's School and Jesus College, Oxford. He was a Classical Master living at Oakdene, Mount Vernon Road, Barnsley at the outbreak of the Great War. He took Aero Certificate No. 1263 on a Farman biplane at Brooklands on 22 May 1915, being made 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps that same day. Whitelock served in France with No. 5 Squadron from 4 July 1915. On 23 September 1915, having joined No. 4 Squadron, he was pilot of Be2c 2035. That day formed part of the preparations for the Battle of Loos, Whitelock shot down a 'Fokker 2 seater' south-east of Douai and south of Arras, the enemy aircraft '...shot through prop'.Whitelock and Balmain had a lucky escape on 25 November 1915. While engaged on an artillery co-operation sortie between Bray and Albert in Be2c 2001, they were attacked by an enemy aircraft, of a type unknown to them. No sooner had they driven it off than they were attacked from above by an Albatros, which they also drove off. A third aircraft attacked from behind and Whitelock managed to disengage, having expended all their ammunition. Considering discretion to be the better part of valour, the mission was abandoned. On 14 December, his aircraft was damaged after being chased by Fokker on a special mission to Hervilly.Returned home, he returned to France in September 1916 to assume Command of No. 7 Squadron and was 'mentioned' (London Gazette 15 May 1917 refers).Made Wing Commander in January 1922, he went to RAF Halton on Staff Duties in April 1924 and was in command of No. 10 Squadron in 1929. Whilst with that unit he designed their Squadron Badge & motto - rem acu tangere ('to hit the mark!'), which was apparently conceived whilst watching archery practice in Oxford. He took over No. 2 Bomber Group at Andover in May 1935 and was District Commandant Rochester by 1939. He was retired in March 1943 and is buried in Bibury, with a new headstone being unveiled by the 10 Squadron Association in recent years.…

THREE RARE EARLY CENTRE-SHOT BOWS, 19TH CENTURY the first bow American, by W.H. Wright and G.L. Thorne, made of light wood, D-shaped section, iron grip painted black with circular opening for arrows, four blades within the circle to secure the arrow, faint painted scrollwork, stamped 'pat.Mar.11, 1879 No. 5', metallic nocks in the shape of longbow nocks (one cracked), 71.5 inches; the second of ovular section, swelling to an ovular grip pierced with a centre hole, reinforced with a brass plate on the belly secured by screws, hook-shaped brass nocks, with accompanying bowstring tipped with two leather tabs for securing to the hooks, 71.5 inches, the third similar, with flatbow section, two leather bands below the centre hole and a brass ring embedded below the bands (missing bowstring), 74 inchesWilliam H. Wright, of Rochester, and George L. Thorne, of Buffalo, New York, filed one of the earliest patents for a centre-shot bow. They describe their invention in the patent as follows:'The object of our present invention is the production of a bow which is capable of being readily bisected for transportation and other purposes, and put together when wanted for use. Its object is, furthermore, to provide for a convenient guide for the arrow; and, lastly, to improve the construction of said arrow.'The design was intended to be used alongside an arrow with hair or wire-cloth fletchings, which could better withstand being shot through the blades. The arrow was also weighted with an inner metallic rod near the point. For further information, see Patent US213083A (Wright and Thorne, 1879). According to the late Bill Terry, the other two bows in this lot were reportedly used to cast telephone lines over obstacles and up slopes during the early stages of the introduction of the telephone. This would make them a similar age to Wright and Thorne's bow, which is reinforced by their similar design.

The artist is not listed in Fielding, Bénézit etc. One of the laid-in items announces a solo exhibition for him with Frans Buffa & Zonen in 1929.An excellent biography of Castle from Mary Ran Gallery in Cincinnati is appended below, for which we are most grateful:Walter Castle Keith (1863-1927) was born in Penfield near Rochester N.Y. on February 18, 1863. His father was a railroad engineer, and as a young man Keith worked as a fireman for his father on Engine #573 between Syracuse N. Y. and Niagara Falls. In 1889, Keith began his art career by studying drawing at the Paul Nauen School in Munich, which was then regarded to be one of the most prominent schools for art in that famous old city. In addition, he studied in London, Paris, and sketched for a summer in Italy. These European experiences were fruitful as one of his paintings won a gold medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1895.In 1896 Keith returned to America establishing a studio in Syracuse N.Y., becoming president of the Syracuse Art Club and starting the Syracuse Sketch Art Club. After multiple trips to Europe, Keith in 1901 decided to reside in the Netherlands. He spent some years in Amsterdam, where two of his paintings were acquired by the Stedelijk Museum. He also painted in The Hague at Laren an North Brabant. He always had a special affinity for Brabant where he lived and painted in a small peasant village of Heeze until 1921. After that time, he returned to America living in Toledo, Ohio which was one of his favorite towns, and his work was greatly appreciated there.According to several obituaries Keith died in Detroit (some biographies have reputed Detroit to be his birth place).

Bronze Medal awarded. Ward was in charge of the Military Pumping Station at Dover, on 25th September, 1907. He, with a man named Voller and two others, were working near the bottom of a well 300 feet deep. An unexpected layer of foul air descending the well rendered Voller unconscious. Ward climbed up the scaffolding into the foul air, lowered Voller into the remaining layer of safe air, supported him near the fresh inlet pipe, guided the air current to him, and practised artificial respiration for four and a half hours in total darkness until they were hauled up. The safe air was gradually getting less, and no light would burn in it. No assistance was possible during this time, as no one could pass down through the layer of foul air until it had sufficiently dispersed. When Ward and Voller reached the surface they were much exhausted,’ Francis Ward was born in the Parish of Hinckley, Leicestershire, and was enlisted into the Royal Engineers at Rochester on 6 June 1884, aged 20 years 9 months, a turner and fitter by trade. He served in Egypt from December 1885 to April 1894, was appointed Lance-Corporal in August 1888, and served with 24th Company R.E. in the operations at Gemaizah, 20 December 1888, and on the Nile 1889. The 17 men shown on the 24th Company roll for these operations, including 2 officers, were the only Royal Engineer recipients of the clasp for Gemaizah 1888. Ward was promoted C.S.M., Military Mechanist in June 1897, and to Mechanist Qr. Mr. Sergeant in June 1903. He was discharged on 5 June 1905, and died in Kent on 30 January 1944. Sold with copied discharge papers which confirm all four awards, and other research together with a named silver Odd Fellows badge.

London Gazette 31st July 1919: ‘For services in action with enemy submarines.’ Note: Award delayed as destruction of submarine not confirmed until May 1919. Jesse Henry Crumpton was born in Rochester, Kent on 25 June 1883, and enrolled in the Royal Naval Reserve in November 1915. He saw no seagoing service until the following year, when he served in H.M. Trawlers Moray and Lorna Doone, following which, in May 1917, he joined the Sea King (Ex-Q-ship Remexo) under Lieutenant-Commander Godfrey Herbert, D.S.O., R.N.; the latter had already gained notoriety for his uncompromising command of the Q-ship Baralong, not least in her close encounter with the U-27 in August 1915. Of Sea King’s subsequent action against the UC-66 in the Channel on 12 June 1917, Keeble Chatterton’s Amazing Adventure takes up the story: ‘Admiral Luard, the Senior Naval Officer at Falmouth, had received a report that night of a submarine's presence somewhere near the Lizard and ordered Herbert's flotilla off to sea. This sudden alteration of routine, after coming into port and stand-off, was something of a surprise. Men were below taking their well-earned rest and looking forward to a walk ashore in the morning. “I immediately sent a signal to prepare for sea,” Herbert still remembers, “but had some difficulty getting the orders to my friend Buchanan in the Sea Sweeper. After several attempts failed, I fired my revolver at his waterline, which quickly did the trick and we sailed on time.” Through the dark and still summer’s night they all four steamed out past old Pendennis Castle, Helford River’s mouth, the Manacles, and so to the Gaunt Lizard. “We spent a gorgeous middle-watch in perfect weather, and at sunrise I thought to myself how many City workers would have given £10 a minute to be yachting with us.” The dark hours passed, and the dawn of a beautiful day revealed the channel in its kinder mood with shipping going up and down on its lawful occasions. No submarine, however, in sight! Perhaps just one more of those numerous yarns which never came to anything? None the less, you could never be sure, and it was generally supposed that somewhere between the Lizard and Kynance Cove U-boats were fond of going to rest on the bottom. So long as she was down below with engines stopped these four Trawlers would only waste their hours. Besides, the sun had risen, it was time the enemy rose likewise and did something. So Herbert decided to wake him up. “At 4.30 a.m.,” he relates, “I dropped a baby depth charge on a known submarine resting ground not far from Kynance Cove, with the objective of stirring to life any somnolent Hun and incidentally, desiring some fresh fish for breakfast.” During the forenoon, all four trawlers were keeping watch south of the Lizard, listening keenly with their hydrophones. So far nothing had been seen, nothing heard. The Sea King and her sisters seemed to have been brought on a fool’s errand. But at 11.30 a.m. when 2½ miles south east of the headland, “I spotted about 400 yards away, two or three points off my port bow, the periscope, stanchion, and jumper stay of a submarine travelling westward at about 4 or 5 knots. Having seen that stay, I could judge her course much more easily than if only her periscope had been visible. I concluded that her captain had probably just been taking a bearing from the Lizard, and as I turned towards him he dived. At once I hoisted in the Sea King a signal to turn eight points, though this was not taken by all the flotilla. But we all wasted not a second letting-go 16 large depth charges and 64 smaller ones. “It was an exciting moment whilst these were exploding. There was very little time for any signals, and the manner in which the whole flotilla dropped their bombs was admirable. No one could tell exactly where the enemy existed: all I knew was that she lay very near, and it was a barrage which did the trick. Every charge detonated perfectly, all explosions were very heavy, and one sent up water three times the height of any others.” As the tide off the Lizard has, at its maximum, a velocity of 3 knots, a fresh breeze blowing against this soon kicks up a nasty sea. For most of the year there will be found off here a rough tumble of waves and unpleasant jobble: the worst conditions for hydrophone operations. This forenoon, however, the tide was running at about 2 knots to the eastward, and everything remained calm under the favourable weather. To leeward of the enemy there rose up a quantity of oil. The depth charges had beyond all questioning, burst the submarine, set off her mines and torpedoes. Not one German body came to the surface. “The Admiralty instructions,” adds Herbert facetiously, “were very carefully designed to prevent more than one large depth charge being ready at any given moment. Whilst each of us had four, the official orders were that one of these big types was to be ready on deck, but the remainder below unprimed. However, I realized that such levels of precaution were not warranted and, consequently, we all kept our big charges primed and ready “in case”. During the general melee which followed my signal ordering a turn to port, we somehow managed to have one collision, through a helmsman’s misunderstanding, but the damage was very slight. After the sea had regained its calm from the underwater disturbance, we stopped our engines and listened on our hydrophones. It was ideal for hearing any movement, but nothing came through, not a sound reached us. Had she survived, our expert listeners would certainly have detected her under way. The depth at this spot was 40 fathoms, so she could not have rested on the bottom voluntarily. Finally, after hanging about the locality during several hours, we returned to Falmouth, were I reported the affair to Admiral Luard.” Months passed, the Armistice came and went, and at the end of May 1919 - almost two years since the event - an official letter reached Herbert from the Lords of the Admiralty “that it is now known that the submarine in question, UC-66, commanded by Herbert Pustkuchen, was destroyed with the loss of all hands.” This announcement set every doubt at rest, although as a submarine officer himself he had been convinced all the while that the German perished utterly. During the year 1917, Herbert had been at last promoted to Commander, and now for his Lizard victory received a Bar to his Baralong D.S.O. Lieutenant Buchanan was awarded the D.S.C. and two of the crew the D.S.M.’ And one of them was Crumpton, who was demobilised in March 1919.

Pair: Sergeant J. T. Hipwell, 31st Regiment of Foot, who was severely wounded at the Battle of Sobraon, the ‘Indian Waterloo’, on 10 February 1846 Cabul 1842 (No. 1428 James Hipwell, Pt. HMs. 31st Regt.) correctly engraved in the regimental style with additional eight-point stars before and after the naming, fitted with original steel clip and wide bar suspension; Sutlej 1845-46, for Moodkee 1845, 3 clasps, Ferozeshuhur, Aliwal, Sobraon (Serjt.

James Townsend Hipwell was born in the Parish of Pankhurst, London, and attested for the 31st Regiment of Foot at Rochester on 17 February 1840, aged 19 years, for a bounty of three pounds seventeen shillings and sixpence. ‘He served in the Campaign in Afghanistan in 1842 and was present in the actions of Mazeena and Tazene for which he wears a medal. He also served the Campaign on the Sutlej and was present in the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshah, Buddiwal, Aliwal and Sobraon for which he is entitled to a medal and clasps. He received a severe wound in the left hand at Sobraon.’ (Recipient’s discharge papers refer) Although Hipwell rose to the rank of Sergeant in January 1845, he was tried by a Regimental Court Martial in December 1846 and reduced to Private, in which rank he was discharged to Out-Pension at Chatham on 28 December 1847. In June 1895, now totally blind and 74 years of age, Hipwell was admitted to In-Pension at Chelsea Hospital. Sold with copied service papers and other research.

Fair to good fine with consistent hoard patination; none of the coins complete, but most quite identifiable and some recognisable in Grueber’s 1886 listing; a most interesting study group which serves to revise our understanding of this academically important hoard; very rare as a group to commerce £1,000-£1,500 --- Provenance: Found as part of the Isleworth Hoard of Anglo Saxon Pennies in 1886, and recorded (in part) at the time by H.A. Grueber of the British Museum. On the 11th March 1886 labourers sinking foundations in the grounds of coach-builder on Twickenham Road came across an antique earthen ware jar. As they struggled to retrieve it, the vessel cracked and a stream of silver sprang forth. The coins were quickly gathered up, and distributed amongst those present. A ‘sample’ of twenty eight coins appeared before the Treasury, and these are those recorded in Herbert Grueber’s note in the Numismatic Chronicle for 1886. The parcel set before Grueber, which informs all later accounts of the hoard, comprised coins of the third, fourth and fifth types issued in the reign of Æthelred II - that is Second Hand to CRVX - with the hoard weighted significantly towards the latter. In its mints the hoard shows a strong regional bias, with a preponderance of coins of London followed by smaller representations from numerous mints in Greater Wessex. Grueber listed each mint/moneyer reading for the parcel he saw and, when damage to the coins obscured readings, noted this as well. It is possible to positively identify the nos. 2, 5 and 10 from the present parcel in Grueber’s list; it is also possible that no. 6 is to be found described by Grueber, but the matter is left obscure by the author’s neglecting to give the full reading for the noted ‘broken’ specimen of this mint/moneyer combination. Several of the coins in Grueber’s listing do not appear in the current parcel. More excitingly, the current parcel provides several additions to the known listings of the Isleworth Hoard. Barnstaple (no. 1) and Cambridge (no. 4) are two such new additions; the former agreeing with the previously observed pattern of geographical distribution, whilst the latter does not, and sits alongside the CRVX penny of Thetford seen by Grueber but absent here.
