![[Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke]](jpegs/42098.jpg)
[Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke] H.S.L.B. Nil Admirari
[Jonathan Richardson Senior] 1738
Etching, sheet 155 x 125mm (6 x 5"). Trimmed; glued to backing sheet, slight foxing
Henry St John, styled first Viscount Bolingbroke (1678-1851), politician, diplomatist and author. St John first entered parliament in 1701 and was appointed secretary at war in 1704 before resigning in 1708. He was subsequently secretary of state (1710-14) and aligned himself with the Jacobite cause to secure power for himself and the tories (spending several years in exile in France from 1716-23 as a result). Pardoned in 1723 Bolingbroke returned to England and tried to rally tory opposition in parliament, but was mostly active as a writer in later years. Portrait by Jonathan Richardson published as frontispiece to a volume of Bolingbroke's works in 1753 which attracted little critical attention.

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.

1719.
Engraving. Plate 375 x 274mm. 14¾ x 10¾". Tearing and staining around the edges.
Matthew Prior (1664-1721) was an English poet and diplomat. On his father's death, he left school, and was cared for by his uncle, a vintner in Channel Row. Here Lord Dorset found him reading Horace, and set him to translate an ode. He did so well that the earl offered to contribute to the continuation of his education at Westminster. One of his schoolfellows and friends was Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax. It was to avoid being separated from Montagu and his brother James that Prior accepted, against his patron's wish, a scholarship recently founded at St John's College, Cambridge. He took his B.A. degree in 1686, and two years later became a fellow. In collaboration with Montagu he wrote in 1687 the City Mouse and Country Mouse, in ridicule of John Dryden's The Hind and the Panther.
