LOT CIVIL WAR CLIPS MARCH 1862 ENGLAND BRITAIN BLOCADE STEAMERS IRONCLADS & MORE

Description

This listing is for a group of civil war newspaper clippings dated March, 1862. Because of the number of clippings and the way they are organized, I couldn't easily get pictures of them in detail without mixing up the organization. But I will describe in detail as many of them as possible here:
-
The movements of steamers Etna, Queenstown, Hibernian;
-Speeches of Earl Carnarvon, Lord John Russell, Earl of Derby and Lord Donoughmore in Full (in Parliament) on the American Question; (these speeches discuss the detention of British citizens in the U.S. who were being held until pledged allegiance to the U.S.; the names of those prisoners and their physical conditions and their confinement conditions; the Union's blockade of southern ports).
-The Capture of Leesburg;
-The British Iron-Clad Fleet;
-The European News - Sir Robert Peel in Parliament; Napoleon in France;
-Description of first session of 37th Congress.
-Arrival of steamship Africa brings news from England and how Parlaiment feels about the southern blockade.  "Lord Lyons has written a letter to Earl Russell ... in which he says that Mr. Seward requested him to inform his Lordship that all the vessels laden with stone, prepared for obstructing the Southern harbors, had already been sunk, and that it is not likely any more will be used for that purpose."
-The English Press on Our Recent Victories (on the back of this one is an interesting partial article on "Scenes at Manasas - The Position as it was Left by the Rebels."
-Earl Russell's letter to Lord Lyons declaring the blockade to be effective;
-An article reprinted from the London Herald:  "The Derby Opposition Disappointed"
If you are a collector of Civil War memorabilia, this is a must-have for your collection!
These clippings were removed from a veeery old scrapbook.  They are in delicate condition, but can still be handled without crumbling.  Some of the clippings had been cut apart to fit within the pages of the scrapbook.  They have been reassembled (much like a jigsaw puzzle) and held together on the back by archival-quality mending tissue.
This is NOT Scotch tape!
It contains no acid or lignin and will not cause discoloring or any other damage over time.  It should not be removed.
ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES
