He then joined William of Orange in the Williamite War in Ireland, before returning to the Austrian army, in which he was promoted to major-general in 1692, aged only 23. After the Nine Years' War he became the Austrian viceroy in Catalonia, being replaced when Philip V became king of Spain, the spark that started the War of the Spanish Succession. It was his suggestion that, while passing through the Straits to Lisbon after a failed attack on Barcelona with Admiral Rooke, the marines should be used to capture Gibraltar, leading to Britain's continued possession of the Rock.

T. Murray pinx. 1712. John Faber Fecit 1722.
Printed for Bowles & Carver, No 69 St Paul's Church Yard London. [n.d., but watermarked 1817.]
Mezzotint with very large margins. 350 x 250mm (13¾ x 9¾").
Edmond Halley (1656-1742), astronomer, the first to calculate a comet's orbit. At the University of Oxford his studies of the theories of Sir Isaac Newton inspired him to write his own 'Principles', which he published with his own money in 1687. In 1721 he was made Astronomer Royal and began an 18 year study of the moon's complete revolution through its ascending and descending nodes. He also wrote another important treatise called Astronomiae Cometicae Synopsis (Synopsis on Cometary Astronomy), which he started in 1682 and published in 1705. In this he mathematically demonstrated that comets move in a elliptic orbits around the sun and how over time they would pass the same point. His accurate prediction of the return of what is now Halley's Comet in 1758 validated his theory.

Edmond Halley (1656-1742), astronomer. He went to the University of Oxford, where he studied the theories of Sir Isaac Newton. Because he was so intrigued with these theories, it inspired him to write the Principle which he published with his own money in 1687. In 1721 he was made Astronomer Royal and began an 18 year study of the moon's complete revolution through its ascending and descending nodes.

He had such an accurate prediction that when the comet (now Halley's Comet) returned in 1758, it validated his theory. Engraved from a portrait by Thomas Murray (Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford). Murray's painting shows Halley pointing to a globe with buildings behind him, although the composition has been reduced and the background removed here.

T Murrey pinx: J. Smith fc: & ex: [c.1690]
Mezzotint, platemark 325 x 235mm (12¾ x 8¾") small margins.
Portrait after Thomas Murray (1663-1735), a popular portrait painter whose sitters included Queen Ann. Engraved by John Smith (1652-1743), a first-class mezzotint engraver who made the mezzotint portrait a serious rival to the traditional engraved portrait (in which the French specialised). In the first half of the 18th century no serious print collection, whether in Britain or abroad, was without examples of Smith's work.
