[John Knox's Home. Edinburgh.] 71. [John Knox's house is an interesting old house projecting into the High Street of Edinburgh. Knox's 'manse' is known to have been further up the street, but it is believed that he lived here for some time, towards the end of his life. Over part of the front of the ground floor is an inscription "Lufe God abufe al, and thi nychtbour as thi-self." The house, which stands near the old lower gate of the City, was purchased by the Free Church. The interior is well preserved and many relics of Knox are stored there. Perhaps the most interesting is the study where the great reformer is traditionally believed to have worked until a fortnight before his death.]

View of the New Bridge over the River Tweed at Kelso, Scotland. Inscribed to John Rennie Esq.r Civil Engineer & F.R. A.S.S. &c. &c. by his obliged and obedient servant, William Daniell.
Painted, Engraved & Published by W.m Daniell No 9 Cleveland Street, Fitzroy Square, London, July 25 1804.
Fine coloured aquatint. Sheet 460 x 665mm (18 x 26½"). Trimmed within plate on three sides, laid on archival paper.
In 1797 the old bridge over the Tweed was washed away by floods, and the Scottish engineer John Rennie (1761-1821) was called in to build this bridge. He used the new technique of combining cast iron with stone to create wide arches previously unheard of in bridge construction. The Kelso Bridge was so impressive that he won contracts to build three major London bridges, Waterloo (a larger version of this bridge), Southwark & London Bridge (completed from his design after his death). In 1854 the Kelso population had to be read the Riot Act when they protested against the bridge tolls, fifty years after completion, and long after the construction had been paid for. Three years later the tolls were abolished. This plate attests to the skill of Daniell as an aquatinter: whereas most aquatints have lines added by engraving or etching, this image is pure aquatint, even the boatman's pole and the black border.

J. Richardson pinxt 1723. J. Faber fecit 1741.
Mezzotint with very large margins, fine; platemark 355 x 260mm (14 x 10¼").
John Ker, first duke of Roxburghe (c.1680-1741), politician prominent in Scottish politics from 1702 onwards. Roxburghe (as he was created in 1707) was part of the Scottish administration, known as the 'squadrone' which supported the Scottish government in the votes that led to the Union of 1707. He continued to play a role in the politics of the newly created British state, but backed John Carteret rather than the rising star, Sir Robert Walpole. Walpole dimissed Roxburghe from his office of (Scottish) secretary of state in 1725. Thereafter he lived largely in political retirement, and died in 1741 at Floors Castle, which had been built for him by Vanbrugh. Engraved after the 1723 portrait by Jonathan Richardson the elder, which hangs at Floors Castle.
