In April 1809 Charles Stewart was made Adjutant General to Sir Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington) with the British forces fighting in the Peninsular War, a post in which he distinguished himself, particularly at the battles of Busaco and Talavera. He received the thanks of Parliament in 1810, and on 20 November 1813 was made Colonel of the 25th Light Dragoons, becoming a Knight of the Bath that same year. Until the end of the war he was Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Berlin, and was also Military Commissioner with the allied armies, being wounded at the Battle of Kulm. Through his daughter Lady Frances, Lord Londonderry was the great-grandfather of Winston Churchill. SIGNED by Charles Stewart to the verso of the title page 'For the use of the Brigade Major attached to the 1st Brigade of Cavalry, Charles Stewart, August 1809.' Ron McGuigan: 'I have never come across the numbering of the cavalry brigades before, only by commanders's names. The following three officers were Brigade-Majors to the cavalry in 1809 including August: Captain John Mahony 14th Light Dragoons, B-M to S. Cotton (Challis lists as 2nd Brigade?), Captain George Holmes 3rd Dragoon Guards, B-M to H. Fane (Challis lists as 1st Brigade?), Captain William Serle 24th Foot, B-M to J. Erskine (no number)'. A special thank you to author Ron McGuigan, [co-author of 'Inside Wellington's Peninsular Army 1808-1814'], for supplying and helping with the above information. Member of the P.B.F.A.

Octavo - Quarto. The Letters are housed in a beautiful, bespoke Solander-Chemise. The original books are either bound in Morocco ("Two Duchesses"), original cloth with dustjacket ("Jeffersonian America") or in the publisher's original interim-wrappers (the rare 1812-printing of "Three messages, from the President of the United States, to Congress, in November 1811, together with Documents accompanying the same"). Very good condition with some minor signs of wear only. The letters contain both personal and diplomatic news about a wide variety of subjects but some are of particular interest for understanding hitherto unknown diplomatic developments on historic events or military campaigns. Letters include for example: I. In a letter from May 7th,1815, only 5 weeks before Waterloo, in which Foster, in his function as "Her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark", poses the question to Sir Charles Stuart, if Wellington wants Danish troops: "Castlereagh [Lord Castlereagh] said he did not know if the D[uke] of Wellington would want any Danish Troops, so pray enquire & let me know how many 1000nds I shall send you"] / II. Excellent Letter between Sir Augustus Foster and Sir Charles Stuart, from January 12th, 1828: Foster talks in this letter about being offered a Baronetry "in 1811 to fit me out for America & I refused it from not being rich enough" Foster also mentions in this letter, which was written 9 days before then Prime Minister, Viscount Goderich, resigned, about his inclination that "Goderich is, I believe, very disposed on the subject but scrupulous & I fear [he] will not be long in, he seems so sick of the worry of Buckinghsh. [Robert Hobart, 4th Earl of Buckinghamshire, the father of Viscount Goderich's wife, Lady Sarah Albinia Louisa Hobart, who had mental problems] / [Frederick John Robinson, 1st Earl of Ripon] who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1827 to 1828] Foster continues: "Your Letters are just as short & to the Point as if you were the responsible Person. Lets hope like La Ferronnays, [Pierre-Louis-Auguste Ferron, comte de La Ferronnays (Ministre des Affaires étrangères)] you will head the Foreign Affairs: When I see him [La Ferronnays] then I think it a very Natural thing that Diplomacy Should do as much for our Side of the Water". III. Further correspondence for example includes a letter from November 26 in the year 1830, in which Foster elaborates on a contact he had with Thomas Medwin [Percy Bysshe Shelley-biographer and Lord Byron-friend. In this letter to Stuart, Foster reports: "?] Medwin / Has been sent away from Genoa as suspected of being an agent of some of the Revolutionary Societies which are seeking to Blow up the world for their own Profit - He came here & wrote Me a Letter of Complaint, & before I could answer it, wrote me a Second complaining of my not Answering him, said he was confined to his Room by Illness & .not receive Mr. Legh who called twice to try & fend him. He set off the same evening to Geneva & London & lay his case before the Public as he Said in his Letters & I suppose I may be accused of having turned a Deaf Ear to his Complaints" [Wikipedia informs us: "Genoa, however, turned out to be only an interlude, as Medwin was expelled for writing a tragedy called The Conspiracy of the Fieschi, which alarmed the Genoese authorities, believing it to be anti-government propaganda. By January 1831 Medwin, without his family, was back in London, still hoping to earn a living as a writer."] / IV. Other letters contain information about the July Revolution; olive wood cups; his frustration at not being able to obtain a baronetcy; his efforts through his step-father, the Duke of Devonshire, his uncle, Lord Liverpool, and the prime minister (the Duke of Wellington) to obtain a baronetcy; Catholics; diplomacy with the Kingdom of Sardinia; putting up truffles; acknowledging King Louis Philippe; Austrian troops in Lombardy; medical quarantine; a poor purchase of a painting; diplomatic changes, and much more. [Transcriptions of these letters are in progress - Please enquire]. _________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________ Sir Augustus John Foster, 1st Baronet, GCH PC (1 or 4 December 1780 1 August 1848) was a British diplomat and politician. Born into a notable British family, Foster served in a variety of diplomatic functions in continental Europe and the United States, interrupted by a short stint as a Member of Parliament. He wrote about his American experiences in Notes on the United States of America. Foster was born in 1780, possibly in Ireland, and went on to study at Drogheda Grammar School and Christ Church, Oxford. He enjoyed a comfortable social situation; his father was the Irish MP for Ennis, John Thomas Foster (d. 1796), first cousin of John Foster and William Foster, and his mother Elizabeth Hervey, who would later go on to marry William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire, was herself the daughter of Frederick Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol. Augustus had one older brother, Frederick (1777 1853) and an elder sister Elizabeth (b. 1778), who died several days after birth, as well as two illegitimate half-siblings. Augustus's parents separated in 1781, at which time he and his brother remained in the care of his father. On 18 March 1815, one year after his arrival in Denmark, he married Albina Jane Hobart. (b. 2 May 1788 - d. 28 May 1867) daughter of Hon. George Vere Hobart (b. 1761 d. 5 December 1802), second son of George Hobart, 3rd Earl of Buckinghamshire, having previously courted Anne Isabella Milbanke. They would go on to have three sons: Frederick George (2nd Bt) (b. 3 January 1816 d. unm. 25 December 1857), Cavendish Harvey (Rev'd) (3rd Bt) (b. 7 May 1817 d. 27 Nov 1890) and Vere Henry Louis (the philanthropist and educationalist) (b. 25 April 1819 d. 21 December 1900). Between roughly 1802 and 1804 Foster served as the Secretary to British legation, N.
