London Pub.d Sep.r 12th by Zach.h Sweet 38 Chancery Lane
Fine and rare mezzotint, platemark 360 x 255mm (14¼ x 10"). Large margins.
Sir John Leach (1760-1834), politician and lawyer. Beginning his career as a whig MP for Seaford in Sussex, Leach developed a close relationship with the prince regent, becoming his first legal officer (seen as a betrayal by whigs). Leach was instrumental in the divorce proceedings against queen Caroline following the scandal of her affair with Bergami, and was widely criticised in caricatures and poems (he was the 'leech' of Shelley's 'Oedipus Tyrannus') for his perceived deceit. Leach never achieved his great ambitions of becoming lord chancellor and obtaining a peerage.

Scott was educated at Newcastle Royal Grammar School and Corpus Christi College at Oxford University, where he gained a Durham scholarship in 1761. He graduated as doctor of civil law and commenced practice in the ecclesiastical courts. His professional success was rapid. In 1783 he became registrar of the court of faculties, and in 1788 judge of the consistory court and advocate-general, in that year too receiving the honor of knighthood. Upon the coronation of George IV in 1821 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Stowell, of Stowell Park in the County of Gloucester, taking his title from the name of his estate. After a life of judicial service Lord Stowell retired from the bench, from the consistory court in August 1821, and from the high court of admiralty in December 1827.

Daniel Wakefield Esq.r of Lincolns Inn, Barrister at Law.
Engraved by F.C. Lewis from a Drawing by A. Wivell.
London, October 1st 1824 Published by Geo. Lawford, Saville Passage.
Stipple on india with small margins, platemark 230 x 180mm (9 x 7").
Daniel Wakefield (1776-1846), barrister and writer on political economy. Wakefield's early career was undistinguished; as David J. Moss (DNB) writes: 'Various distractions, riotous living, and, according to his mother, unsuitable company prevented much headway. An ill-advised marriage on 3 June 1805 to Isabella Mackie, an adventuress and swindler, followed. It dragged him into a morass of debt and fraud that almost ended in bankruptcy and emigration. Remarkably, his legal career was not destroyed and he was called to the bar on 2 May 1807. A sullied reputation and an inadequate knowledge of the law, however, meant that clients were not plentiful and his financial dependence upon his parents and brother continued. Attempts to annul the marriage failed; then, in August 1813, Isabella committed suicide by taking poison.' Thereafter, however, Wakefield remarried, and his practice flourished. He was elected bencher of Lincolns Inn in 1835 and became known for his philanthropy in aiding clients in distress. After his death in 1846 he was buried in Lincoln's Inn chapel.
