http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34931260

Correspondence of A. S. Hamond with Hans Stanley, governor of the Isle of Wight discusses a naval appointment, a land settlement scheme on the Ohio opposed by Lord Hillsborough, the Gaspée affair, Bunkers Hill, naval operations in Virginia and on the Delaware (Lord Dunmore's retreat), the Staten Island Peace Conference, Saratoga, General Burgoyne, the burning of New York, Hessians, consequences of the American-French alliance, British foreign and economic affairs, and the guardianship of Felix Viret. Memoirs of A.S. Hamond, ca. 1815, cover his career as an active sea officer to 1794 and include a hand drawn map of the Brandywine campaign. Complementing these are Hamond's memoir, 1783-1785, of his part in the American Revolution, 1775-1777; his account, 1771-1773, of his command of the Arethusa; and a journal, 1779, of the Roebuck's second voyage to America. There are brief comments on the French Revolution and court-martial proceedings against the Bounty mutineers. Complementing these are Hamond's memoir, 1783-1785, of his part in the American Revolution, 1775-1777, mentioning the blockade of the mid-Atlantic colonies, the landing of William Howe's troops, and expedition to Antigua and the Leeward Islands and the capture of Philadelphia, with observations and anecdotes mentioning Lord Howe, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Also a logbook, 1771-1773, of his command of the Arethusa containing descriptions of ports visited including Norfolk, Boston, New York, Williamsburg, Va., where he was entertained by Lord Dunmore and the Council gave permission to impress sailors, Philadelphia, Newport, Providence, Halifax and St. Johns; and a journal, 1779, of the Roebuck's second voyage to America. There are brief comments on the French Revolution and court-martial proceedings against the Bounty mutineers. The collection also contains bound volumes of letters and orders, 1771-1783, pertaining to A.S. Hamond's commands of HMS Arethusa, Barfleur, Roebuck and Champion, and service as Lieutenant-governor of Nova Scotia, Commissioner of the Navy, and Commander-in-Chief of H.M. Ships at Halifax, August 1781 to January 1783, including methods of naval signaling as adapted for service during the American Revolution, a copy of the resolution of the Pennsylvania Council of Safety, 1776 December 21, and a letter from Lord Howe. The collection also contains photographs of portraits of Sir Andrew Snape Hamond from originals in the possession of Sir Egerton Hamond Graeme. Papers of Admiral Graham Eden Hamond are primarily concerned with the Mediterranean theater during the Napoleonic Wars as well as a cruise to Rio de Janeiro, and consist of his annotated copy of "A chronological list of the captains of His Majesty's Royal Navy...1673-1783"; and letters and orders from his commands of HMS Champion, Plantagenet, Lively, Victorious, Rivoli, Wellesley, and Spartiate; plus some remarks on Courts Marital, some general orders, "exercises for great guns," and an incomplete table of arrivals and sailings at Malta, 1805. Of interest are Admiral Hamond's papers from his service as senior officer at Malta, 1805-1806, describing the abortive invasion of the Kingdom of Naples and subsequent establishment on Sicily.
