[REYNOLDS, Joshua.] A lady and child. London, published May 10th; 1787 by W. Dickinson, engraver no. 158 Bond Street. Painted by Joshua Reynolds. Engraved by J. Grozer. Mezzotint (platemark 35.3 x 50.2cm, sheet approx. 37.1 x 52cm) small collector’s ink stamp to verso, a fine impression, very good condition. A fine example of this large mezzotint engraved by Joseph Grozer (c.1755-1798) after a painting by Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792). Published in 1787 by William Dickinson (1746-1823) it bears the address of his central London premises situated at 158 Bond Street. Titled “A lady and child”, the print displays a fashionably-dressed young mother seated with her laughing child, the pair depicted against a backdrop of manicured parkland. Reynolds’ own manuscript accounts record the sitter as “Mrs. Seaforth”, noting that the portrait was paid for by “Mr. Barwell.” One of the most wealthy nabobs of the East India Company, Richard Barwell (1741-1804) was known for his extravagant lifestyle both in India and after his return to England in 1780. “Mrs. Seaforth” here was used as an alias for his mistress Rebecca Lyne (b.1764?), mother of several of Barwell’s illegitimate children. Reynolds, known for his judicious choices in transposing his clients on to canvas depicted as appropriate characters drawn from classical antiquity, had already painted her in 1786 as the Roman Vestal Virgin Tuccia, perhaps with a deliberate brushful of irony.

A letter from Andrew Newton to the Right Honourable Henry Lord Apsley, lord high chancellor of Great Britain. In answer to a pamphlet published by his Lordship, intitled, The case of the unfortunate Martha Sophia Swordfeger. London, printed in the year 1771. First edition, large paper issue. 4to (21 x 25.75cm) [2], 83, [1]pp., very good, stab-sewn in the original marbled paper wraps, paper loss to spine but stitching sound, small stain to margin of last 2 leaves not affecting text, blindstamp of John Fowles to corner of flyleaf, wrapper with light wear to extremities. First edition, large paper issue, rare, of this lengthy narrative by Andrew Newton of the East India Company, recording his version of events in relation to the history of his relationship with Martha Sophia Swordfeger, one of two daughters of Charles Boyle, fourth earl of Orrery (1674-1731) and his mistress Margaret Swordfeger (d.1741). Newton was accused of entrapping Swordfeger into a pretended marriage, however in this account he paints Swordfeger herself as a calculating dissembler who made extraordinary efforts to entrap him in a web of lies and deception. Swordfeger, who seems to have concealed her background and aristocratic connections from Newton, managed to convince the lord chancellor Henry Bathurst second earl Bathurst (1714-1794) of her claims, his in - terest in the case being precipitated by Newton forming plans to marry Bathurst’s cousin. This present narrative, a response by Newton to accusations aired publicly by Henry Bathurst in The case of the unfortunate Martha Sophia Swordfeager (London, 1771), takes the story back to 1749, charting Swordfeger’s attempts in the 1750s in London to style herself as Mrs. Newton. In the capital she ran up sizeable debts in Newton’s name while he was abroad in India, then fleeing to Ghent, continuing to assert that she and Newton had been married. Including much detail concerning the finances of Newton and Swordfeger, this tangled tale of bitter recrimination catalogues false tes - timonies, broken promises, perjury, debt and defamation - themes that reverberate through the novels of the Geor - gian era.

[COOKERY.] Catherine H. Jackson’s Receipt Book. [West of England.] 1814. Manuscript, ink on paper. 8vo (12 x 18.5cm) [4], 88, [89-138]pp., a few blank leaves at the end, flyleaves with some negligible foxing, autograph inscription to front flyleaf “Cath.e H. Jackson’s Receipt Book. 1814”, marbled pastedowns, contemporary red morocco, rubbed but sound. Dating from 1814, this carefully-penned manuscript records over 200 recipes written by Catherine H. Jackson in her “receipt book.” The majority relate to cookery, including meat dishes, soups, jellies, preserves, baking and pud - dings, however there are also some medical and household recipes. Examples include: “Calves feet jelly ... Hare soup ... Puddings without a name ... To make blancmange ... Custard pancakes ... German puffs ... A baked quince pudding ... Mock turtle ... Beef a la mode ... Ginger bread nuts ... Green sweetmeats ... To fricassee lobster ... Italian cream ... To wash gloves ... For chillblains ... To dye linen yellow ... Barberry Losenges ... Mustard whey ... Sheep feet jelly ... Brain cakes.” Several recipes show the growing taste for Asian and oriental flavours: “Lilla pickle ... To make curry powder ... A common curry ... To make yeast the Turkish manner ... To make Mulgatanny ... Indian arrow root blancmange.” The sources of a number of the recipes are identified: “Mr. Turton’s white soup ... Mr. Turton’s mince pies ... Mr. Quin’s sauce ... Mrs. Morgan’s lemon ketchup ... ” That the compiler Catherine Jackson resided in the West of England is suggested by the places of residence cited for several sources, indicating connections with fashionable Bath, Lancashire, Cheshire and Derbyshire: “Mrs. R. Hibbert of Birtles Hall [Cheshire]” supplied a recipe for an “Orange drink”; “Mrs Willis, Halsnead Hall [Lancashire] supplied instructions for “Goosberry vinegar”; “Mrs. Phillipson of Bath” supplied instructions for “Liquid pounce”; “Mrs Gould of Bath” supplied a method “to preserve strawberries whole.” This is an appealing example of a middle-class English cookery manuscript dating from the era of Jane Austen. £2500 Samuel Gedge Rare books, manuscripts, prints & drawings 6 BATH PASTEL PORTRAIT OF PROSPEROUS GEORGIAN DOWAGER 4. VASLET, Lewis. [Maria Heathcote.] [Bath, 1787.] Pastel, on vellum over wooden stretcher, oval (sheet approx. 25 x 30cm) in the original oval giltwood frame, verso signed and dated on paper backing at head in ink “L. Vaslet fecit Bath 1787” with additional nineteenth century manuscript notes recording presentation/provenance penned by witness “R[ichar]d Meade King”on “183[7?] Oct.r 23d”, two negligible wormholes at lower margin of sheet, frame with some light wear to extremities. Drawn in Bath in 1787 by Lewis Vaslet (1742-1808), this fine pastel portrait depicts Maria Heathcote (1706-1792) of Southbroom House in Devizes, Wiltshire. The half-length portrait records her dignified appearance at the age of eighty, clad in a black lace shawl, with details including two white silk bows and a brooch. Born Maria Eyles, in 1724 she married the prosperous London merchant George Heathcote (d.1768), thrice MP for Devizes and Lord Mayor of London in 1742. A large oil portrait by John Vanderbank (1694-1739) depicting a youthful Maria Heath - cote at the time of her marriage in 1724 remains at Southbroom House, today the principal building of Devizes School. In addition to Vaslet’s signature, “L. Vaslet fecit Bath 1787”, the paper backing here bears an early nineteenth century ink inscription identifying the sitter as “Mrs Heathcote of Southbroom House & mother to Mrs Walley Mendip Lodge.” This is a reference to Maria Heathcote’s daughter Augusta Utica Whalley (1742-1807), wife of the poet and traveller Thomas Sedwick Whalley (1746-1848). A further ink note records a later provenance: ““183[7?] Oct.r 23d Mrs Rickards this day gave this picture to her nephew John Wetherston Rickards and delivered it to Miss Mary Theodosia Rickards to take care of it for him in my presence R[ichar]d Meade King.” Lewis Vaslet was born in York, where his father Andrew ran a boarding school for girls.

  • John the Painter
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY VOLUME LXIII JANUARY, 1939 NUMBER ONE John the Painter HIS is the tale of an aberrated Scotsman who stepped momen- tarily into the spotlight of history during the American Revo- Tlution, and, for a brief, fantastic space, sent shivers rippling along the spines of Lord North's cabinet, and spread consternation throughout the length and breadth of merry England. He was born plain James Aitken, an unprepossessing infant in the brood of an indigent Edinburgh blacksmith. Dangling from a gibbet in Ports- mouth town, he departed this life, in 1777, famous or infamous, as John the Painter. Twice James Aitken's crimes flared red on the British horizon—an incendiary whose distorted mind interpreted the torch of liberty as literal rather than allegoric -y who set himself, single-handed, to destroy the might of the king's navy. Boasting him- self an agent of the American Congress, this insignificant little Scottish zealot, ere his destructive path ended, had burned to the ground his majesty's rope house in the Portsmouth navy yard, and had started two alarming, if not serious, fires in busy Bristol. Harken, then, to the tale of James Aitken, alias James Hill, other- wise James Hinde, commonly called, as the old court record set forth, John the Painter. Silas Deane's French servant probably eyed with repugnance the shabby little man, who, for the third time, was insisting upon an 2 WILLIAM BELL CLARK January audience with his employer. Twice before the devoted servant, who regarded any Englishman as inimical to his patron's welfare, had dismissed him summarily.

  • DATES of TRIALS Until October 1775, and Again from December 1816
    DATES OF TRIALS Until October 1775, and again from December 1816, the printed Proceedings provide both the start and the end dates of each sessions. Until the 1750s, both the Gentleman’s and (especially) the London Magazine scrupulously noted the end dates of sessions, dates of subsequent Recorder’s Reports, and days of execution. From December 1775 to October 1816, I have derived the end dates of each sessions from newspaper accounts of the trials. Trials at the Old Bailey usually began on a Wednesday. And, of course, no trials were held on Sundays. ***** NAMES & ALIASES I have silently corrected obvious misspellings in the Proceedings (as will be apparent to users who hyper-link through to the trial account at the OBPO), particularly where those misspellings are confirmed in supporting documents. I have also regularized spellings where there may be inconsistencies at different appearances points in the OBPO. In instances where I have made a more radical change in the convict’s name, I have provided a documentary reference to justify the more marked discrepancy between the name used here and that which appears in the Proceedings. ***** AGE The printed Proceedings almost invariably provide the age of each Old Bailey convict from December 1790 onwards. From 1791 onwards, the Home Office’s “Criminal Registers” for London and Middlesex (HO 26) do so as well. However, no volumes in this series exist for 1799 and 1800, and those for 1828-33 inclusive (HO 26/35-39) omit the ages of the convicts. I have not comprehensively compared the ages reported in HO 26 with those given in the Proceedings, and it is not impossible that there are discrepancies between the two.

  • DUTCH and ENGLISH PAINTINGS Seascape Gallery 1600 – 1850
    DUTCH AND ENGLISH PAINTINGS Seascape Gallery 1600 – 1850 The art and ship models in this station are devoted to the early Dutch and English seascape painters. The historical emphasis here explains the importance of the sea to these nations. Historical Overview: The Dutch: During the 17th century, the Netherlands emerged as one of the great maritime oriented empires. The Dutch Republic was born in 1579 with the signing of the Union of Utrecht by the seven northern provinces of the Netherlands. Two years later the United Provinces of the Netherlands declared their independence from the Spain. They formed a loose confederation as a representative body that met in The Hague where they decided on issues of taxation and defense. During their heyday, the Dutch enjoyed a worldwide empire, dominated international trade and built the strongest economy in Europe on the foundation of a powerful merchant class and a republican form of government. The Dutch economy was based on a mutually supportive industry of agriculture, fishing and international cargo trading. At their command was a huge navy and merchant fleet of fluyts, cargo ships specially designed to sail through the world, which controlled a large percentage of the international trade. In 1595 the first Dutch ships sailed for the East Indies. The Dutch East Indies Company (the VOC as it was known) was established in 1602 and competed directly with Spain and Portugal for the spices of the Far East and the Indian subcontinent. The success of the VOC encouraged the Dutch to expand to the Americas where they established colonies in Brazil, Curacao and the Virgin Islands.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

Thesis submitted for Philosophy Doctor degree The University of Saint Andrews Maritime Studies 1996 EC A UNI L/ rJ ý t\ jxý DF, ÄNý Jorge Ortiz-Sotelo Peru and the British Naval Station ABSTRACT The protection of British interests in the Pacific was the basic reason to detach a number of Royal Navy's vessels to that Ocean during the Nineteenth Century. There were several British interests in the area, and an assorted number of Britons established in Spanish America since the beginning of the struggle for Independence. Amongst them, merchants was perhaps the most important and influential group, pressing on their government for protection to their trade. As soon as independence reached the western coast of America, a new space was created for British presence. First Valparaiso and afterwards Callao, British merchants were soon firmly established in that part of South America. As had happened in the Atlantic coast, their claims for protection were attended by the British government through the Pacific Squadron, under the flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the South American Station, until 1837, when it was raised to a separate Station.
