In England Bower converted to the Church of England and wrote about bibliographic history and ancient Rome. His 'History of the Popes', a violent attack on papal supremacy, was published between 1748 and the 1760s. During the publication of the work letters emerged purporting to show that despite his protestant zeal Bower was flirting with Catholicism, shattering his reputation.

[n.d. c.1682.]
Engraving. 188 x 140mm. 7½ x 5½".
Published in Isaac Bullart's 'Académie des Sciences et des Arts'. George Buchanan (1506-1582) was a Scottish historian and humanist scholar. He was part of the monarchomach movement, which consisted of Huguenot theorists who opposed absolute monarchy. Monarchomachs were people who opposed absolutism, believing that sovereignty belonged to the people, but the irony here was that "the people" for monarchomachs in fact only meant to refer to the bourgeoisie and nobility, never the popular masses. Buchanan was a key figure in developing the monarchomach theories in Scotland. Similar to Erasmus, Buchanan had the same ideas about the Catholic church, and was persecuted like all Lutherans in 1539, however he managed to effect his escape, and fled to London and then onto Paris. It was here where faced with further persecution, he accepted an invitation by Andre de Gouveia to take on the post of professor of Latin at the College of Guienne at Bordeaux.

Archibald Campbell, ninth Earl of Argyll (c. 1629 - 1685), Earl from 1663 following the restoration of the title two years after his father, the Marquess of Argyll, was executed for treason. Although he shared few of his father's political convictions, displaying little enthusiasm for the Covenants, he too was destined to be executed. A confederate of James Duke of Monmouth, for refusing to subscribe to the Test Act, was found guilty of High Treason in 1681 and sentenced to death. He escaped from Edinburgh castle under the disguise of a page, holding up the train of Lady Sophia Lindsay, his step daughter. He left the country but four years later was taken in a abortive attempt to invade Scotland and beheaded. A fine impression, with inscription set into decorative cartouche, by Adrian Haelwegh, Dutch printmaker (c.1637 - 1702). He worked in Amsterdam, primarily on portraits and book illustrations.

Archibald Campbell (1598-1661), 1st Marquess of Argyll, 8th Earl of Argyll, chief of Clan Campbell, the de facto head of government in Scotland during most of the conflict known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. He was the most influential figure in the Covenanter movement that fought for the Presbyterian religion and what they saw as Scottish interests during the English Civil War of the 1640s and 1650s. He was made a privy councillor in 1628. In 1638, the king summoned him, together with Traquair and Roxburgh, to London, but he refused to be won over, warned Charles against his despotic ecclesiastical policy, and showed great hostility towards William Laud. In consequence, a secret commission was given to the Earl of Antrim to invade Argyll and stir up the MacDonalds against him in January 1644, he accompanied the Scottish army into England as a member of the committee of both kingdoms and in command of a troop of horse, but was soon compelled, in March, to return to suppress royalists in the Scottish Civil War and to defend his own territories. At the Restoration, he presented himself at Whitehall, but was at once arrested by order of Charles and placed in the Tower (1660), being sent to Edinburgh to stand trial for high treason. He was acquitted of complicity in the death of Charles I, and his escape from the whole charge seemed imminent, but the arrival of a packet of letters written by Argyll to Monck showed conclusively his collaboration with Cromwell's government, particularly in the suppression of Glencairn's royalist rising in 1652. He was immediately sentenced to death, his execution by beheading taking place on 27 May 1661, before the death warrant had even been signed by the king. His head was placed on the same spike upon the west end of the Tolbooth as that of Montrose had previously been exposed, and his body was buried at the Holy Loch, where the head was also deposited in 1664.

A portrait of Scottish physician, chemist and agriculturalist, William Cullen (1710 - 1790). Cullen was one of the most important professors at the Edinburgh Medical School, as the leading center of medical education in the English-speaking world. He was President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (1746–7), President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (1773–1775) and First Physician to the King in Scotland (1773–1790).

The Right Hon.ble John Earl of Stair Viscount Dalrymple Lord Glenluce & Stranraer Lt. General of his maj.ties Forces [...]
[Anon., c.1740]
Engraving, very rare; sheet 335 x 270mm (13¼ x 10½"). Trimmed.
John Dalrymple, second earl of Stair (1673-1747), diplomat and army officer. Dalrymple's early career was characterized by military service during the Nine Years' War; the duke of Marlborough became Dalrymple's mentor and patron. After succeeding his father as Earl of Stair he became ambassador to Paris, attempting to combat the threat of Jacobitism and contributing to the eventual removal of the Jacobite court to Italy (Sir Winston Churchill considered him 'one of the most capable ambassadors...ever sent to Paris'). Stair withdrew from politics in the 1720s, dedicating himself to agricultural reform, before rehabilitating himself after the fall of Robert Walpole, when he became (non-resident) governor of Minorca.

George Dempster Esq. [European Magazine]
Published 1 Aug 1793 by J. Sewell 32 Cornhill
Engraving, 160 x 110mm (6 x 4"). Trimmed inside platemark, losing 'European Magazine' text; false margins added.
George Dempster (1732-1818), agriculturist and politician. Dempster studied law but turned his back on the legal profession to go into politics. Having inherited family estates of some 6000 acres, he was able to finance a campaign as candidate for the (notoriously corrupt) Perthshire district of burghs, which he won against the odds, but at crippling costs. Dempster strengthened his position in subsequent elections (he was MP for 28 years), but had to sell around 2500 acres of land to cover his costs. Dempster was known for his independence, voting against the Stamp Act and opposing government attempts to oppress the colonists in America. He retired from politics in 1789. Dempster also developed an interest in India, becoming director of the East India Company in 1769 and 1772. He defended Warren Hastings against the Edmund Burke's campaign of impeachment. Dempster was also famous for his efforts to advance Scottish commerce and manufactures, promoting the textile industry, founding the first bank in Dundee (having noticed that the lack of proper banking facilities hampered trade), leading improvements to fisheries and promoting road building. He also carried out significant agricultural improvements on his own land and encouraged other landowners to follow his example. Plate from the 'European Magazine'.

[The Honble. Arch.d Douglas.]
G. Willison pinxit. Val. Green fecit.
Publish'd Octr. 22nd 1770, by G. Willison Greek Street, Soho, London.
Proof mezzotint, scratched letters and publication line, 422 x 605mm 16½ x 23¾ inches. Minor rubbing, minor printing imperfection in the plate in Justice's robes, stains lower left. In the final state the engraving carries a dedication, "To his Grace Charles Duke of Queensberry and Dover, This plate is most humbly Dedicated by His Grace's most obedient and obliged humble Servant. George Willison".
Allegorical portrait, bust-length to front within oval, held by figure of Justice, resting the image on carved pedestal and trampling Calumny beneath her feet; proof. Archibald Douglas, 1st Baron Douglas [1748–1827] litigant and politician. The relief medallions of Camden and Mansfield are references to the final decision in one of the eighteenth century's most famous legal battles. The Douglas Cause, was the challenge to Archibald's inheritance by the Hamiltons, who argued that he and his brother were supposititious. The Hamilton lawyers put together a plausible circumstantial argument that Archibald was actually Jacques Louis Mignon, the son of a Parisian glassworker, who had disappeared in July 1748. The case was litigated at great length and expense (the two sides spent £54,000 between them). It attracted tremendous interest, especially in Scotland. Not only was a large estate at stake, but many felt that requiring Archibald Douglas to in effect prove his identity raised a question that could endanger the security of inheritance in general. In Scotland the Douglas side enjoyed broad popular support, with James Boswell an especially eager partisan, though many of the literati favoured the Hamilton side. In 1767 the court of session decided by the casting vote of the lord president against Douglas. Douglas appealed to the House of Lords which, following the opinions of law lords Mansfield and Camden, reversed the decision without a division.
