Louis Lazare Hoche ([lwi la.zaʁ ɔʃ]; 24 June 1768 – 19 September 1797) was a French soldier who served during the French Revolutionary Wars and rose to become a general of the Revolutionary Army. He won a victory over Royalist forces in Brittany. His surname is one of the names inscribed under the Arc de Triomphe, on Column 3. Richard Holmes says he was “quick-thinking, stern, and ruthless… a general of real talent whose early death was a loss to France.” A famous statement by general Hoche: “Facta, non verba” (“acts, no words”)

Benjamin Franklin Letter Signed to Scotsman Lord Kames
Very long and beautifully penned letter signed by Benjamin Franklin, written to Henry Home, Lord Kames, one of the principal figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, and mentor to both David Hume and Adam Smith. The American scientist and founding father writes to Kames from London on 21 October 1761 on a variety of topics, including effusive praise of Kames’ book, “Introduction to the Art of Thinking” and anticipation of Kames’ next book, “Elements of Criticism”. Franklin also mentions his own book “Art of Virtue”, which he never finished but seems inspired to complete after reading Kames’ work. Letter reads in part,
“My dear Lord, It is long since I have afforded myself the Pleasure of writing to you. As I grow in Years I find I grow more indolent, and more apt to procrastinate. I am indeed a bad Correspondent; but what avails Confession without Amendment!” Sold for $21,000.
Fantastic George Washington document signed as ”late Commander in Chief of the American Army” regarding his disgraced mentor, Jacob Vanbraham, a mercenary soldier who instructed Washington in the use of military weapons and then served under Washington in the French and Indian War before fighting against Washington and for the British during the Revolutionary War. In this document Washington acknowledges a payment he received from James Mercer to offset costs that Washington incurred lending money to Vanbraham; this money was used by Vanbraham to secure his claim to back pay and land due to him for fighting in the French and Indian War. The land was previously denied because Vanbraham notoriously mis-translated the word ”assassination” in describing the death of French officer Joseph Coulon de Villiers de Jumonville by Washington’s men at the Battle of Fort Necessity, which ignited the French and Indian War. Document is datelined Mount Vernon, 10 January 1786 and boldly signed Go. Washington, acknowledging the payment from Mercer to Washington of ”currency for the use of Jacob Vanbraham Esq late of Virginia formerly a Capt in the Virginia Regiment…for securing the said Vanbraham’s quota of lands…under the proclamation of the Honble. Robert Dinwiddie…” Verso of document contains letter by James Mercer to Vanbraham, dated 21 May 1786 requesting that Vanbraham repay him the amount owed plus interest. Document measures 7.25” x 8.75”, framed in dark green suede with a descriptive plaque and engraving of Washington to a total size of 42” x 24”. Light spotting and folds, with some tissue repair to verso over Mercer’s signature; though Washington’s signature is bold, it’s written over a fold which has an unrepaired split bisecting the signature and a small hole at fold. Overall very good condition. Previously sold at California Book Auctions on 18 November 1998, lot 5747, and referenced in the ”Writings of George Washington”, Volume 28. Sold for $12,500.

Winston Churchill Signed “The Second World War” — Volume I: “The Gathering Storm”
Winston Churchill signs a copy of Volume I of his memoir “The Second World War.” Cassell & Co. Ltd: London: 1948. The volume, entitled “The Gathering Storm,” is signed upon the half title page: “Inscribed for M. Jacques Robert by Winston S. Churchill / 1948”. The theme of the book, covering the years from WWI to 1940, is “how the English-speaking peoples through their unwisdom, carelessness and good nature allowed the wicked to rearm.” Churchill was no longer Prime Minister when he wrote his six volume memoir, and controversy erupted over his use of official records to write his book. He was, however, granted special access by Prime Minister Clement Attlee because of Churchill’s exceptional status.

A riveting signed account of WWII signed by England’s tireless guardian. Sold for $2,756.
