Preferred Citation [Identification of item], Historical caricatures from 1760-90, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Purchased from Zeitlin & Ver Brugge, May 1965. Scope and Content This volume contains 146 British satirical prints, dating from 1760-1790, which are either etched or engraved and pasted onto pages in general chronological order. Many of the prints are annotated with handwritten identifications, descriptions, dates, and reference numbers from the British Museum Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires (BM numbers) in an unidentified hand. Ten of the prints have hand coloring (see pp. 16, 49, 57, 61, 67, 69, 76, 84, 110, and 116). The prints reflect a variety of political topics including the influence of Lord Bute (John Stuart); the 1763 Peace of Paris at the end of the Seven Years' War (French and Indian War); the American Stamp Act; the 1783 Fox-North Coalition; the 1784 Westminster election; and the Warren Hastings trial. Some of the depicted individuals include King George III; Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland; Princess Augusta; Charles James Fox; Warren Hastings; William Murray, Earl of Mansfield; Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford; Fletcher Norton; William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham; John Russell, Duke of Bedford; John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute; John Wilkes; and Cecil Wray. Many artists, engravers, and printers are represented including artists Thomas Rowlandson and William Hogarth and publishers E. Darchery, S. W. Fores, H. Humphrey, and W. Humphrey. One print, "A Foreign Tree" (page 116), is dated as 1789, but appears to be from 1793-4 during the French "Reign of Terror." There are also two pages containing handwritten descriptions of events (pp. 8a, 87). With handwritten title page: "Historical caricatures from 1762 [i.e. 1760]-90. This collection includes no caricatures by Gillray, Sayer, or I. Cruikshank" and spine title: "Historical Caricatures, 1762-90." The front inside cover has the bookplate of James Banks Stanhope with the motto "A Deo et rege," and label, "A gift of the Friends of the Huntington Library"; the flyleaf has the bookplate of Justin G. Turner; and there are two copies of a leather bookplate affixed to back inside cover with motto "Honi soit qui mal y pense." Title based on handwritten title page.

  • City of London Liveryman Franchise
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 3.3 THE ELECTORAL FRANCHISE IN THE CITY OF LONDON The right of voting in London varied according to the office contested. Such variations had arisen over time and were accepted as historical legacies, even if they were sometimes confusing to contemporaries. The following sections explain the variant elec- toral franchises for: 3.3.1 Common Hall 3.3.2 Wardmote (ward meeting) 3.3.3 London liveryman franchise 3.3.4 London parliamentary elections 3.3.5 Elections for lord mayor of London 3.3.6 Elections for chamberlain of London 3.3.7 Elections for sheriff of London and Middlesex 3.3.1 Common Hall The Common Hall, presided over by the sheriff, had the right of election for Members of Parliament and also for the offices of sheriff, lord mayor, chamberlain, bridge masters, auditors, and aleconners. This franchise, vested in the liverymen of the City’s several livery companies, had no residential qualification. As a result, duly qualified people from outside the municipal area were entitled to return in order to vote. The lord mayor sent a summons to the master of each livery company requiring him to notify the liverymen to attend Guildhall, wearing their livery gowns. The beadle of each company was supposed to prevent anyone not of the livery from attending. 2 LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY Those not eligible to vote were required to withdraw from Guildhall. That proviso was, however, difficult to enforce absolutely strictly. Indeed, the laughter said to have followed this order provides some evidence that implementation on some occasions was a problem, according to a report in 1837.1 In fact, between 1700 and 1850 all parliamentary general elections for London except those of 1830 and 1831 went to a poll, at which more rigorous criteria were applied.

Description Addiscombe Recreation Ground is a small recreation ground dating from 1911 largely laid to grass and completely surrounded by houses. The land was acquired in 1905 by Croydon Board of Health under the 1875 Public Health Act and was previously farmland, like much of Croydon, until development for housing changed the landscape dramatically from the early twentieth century. The site is shown on Thomas Bainbridge's Map of Croydon of 1800 as two fields belonging to A Adair Esq. It was at one time part of the Ashburton Estate, the country home of the Barings, who were heirs of the Barony of Ashburton. The estate mansion had been situated at the corner of Addiscombe Road and Northampton Road, and the estate farmhouse was also on Addiscombe Road with a farmtrack alongside it known as Love Lane.
