Bibliography of the Gordons

A BIBLIOGRAPHY
Hake, Thomas Gordon. Memoirs of eighty years.
London : Richard Bentley & Son, 1892.
8vo. pp. xx + 304. Deals very tentatively with his Gordon ancestry,
notably on pp. 4-6, and with Chinese Gordon himself (pp. 137-
139). Hake was the son of Gordon's aunt, Augusta Maria
Gordon (1774-1860), and the father of Alfred Egmont Hake,
who has produced several books on Chinese Gordon.
Skelton, Constance Oliver. General Gordon's ancestry. A
letter in The Times, Jan. 26, 1912.
This letter, written apropos of the consecration of Khartoum
Cathedral (which is illustrated, as finished, in the same issue),
shows that the service of Gordon's great-grandfather may go
back to 1712. Mrs. Skelton summarised Chinese Gordon's
own military service in "Gordons under arms" (no. 363) and
that of all his kinsmen.
CRIMEA AND THE NEAR EAST, 1855-57, 1871-72, 1873.
Gordon, Charles George. Memorandum on the treaties of San
Stefano and Berlin ; printed for private circulation.
London: Edward Stanford, 1880.
8vo. pp. ii + 7 + (1) + two maps. Signed at the end " C. G.
Gordon, March 20, 1880". Printed in The Times, Sept. 24,
1885. Gordon says the treaty of Berlin "did no good to
Turkey, and infinite harm to Europe ". He advocates the
" complete purchase " of Cyprus, and making Constantinople
" a State under European guarantees". Boulger deals with
this document in his " Life of Gordon " (pp. 204-207).
