George Psalmanazar The Imposter.
[n.d.., c.1800.]
Etching. Sheet 135 x 95mm (5¼ x 3¾"). Trimmed and laid on album paper.
George Psalmanazar (c.1679-1763), a Frenchman, passed himself off as the first visitor to Europe from Taiwan, even speaking an invented language. He assumed the name of 'George Psalmanazar' when he 'converted' to Christianity in 1702. Coming to London, he switched to Anglicanism and wrote ''An Historical and Geographical Description of Formosa, an Island subject to the Emperor of Japan'' in 1704. After confessing the imposture in 1706 he went straight, learning Hebrew and co-authoring Samuel Palmer's 'A General History of Printing' (1732). He even contributed to A Complete System of Geography and wrote about the real conditions in Formosa, pointedly criticising the hoax he himself had perpetrated. In later life he became a friend of Samuel Johnson and wrote his autobiography, although even this did not reveal his real name.

Publius Lentulus, President In Judea In The Reign Of Tiberius Caesar, To The Senate Of Rome. Conscript Fathers, There appeared in these our days a man of great virtue, named Jesus Christ, who is yet living among us, and of the Gentiles is accepted for a Prophet of Truth; but his own Disciples call him the Son of God... [description of the deeds, countenance, and character of Jesus Christ follows].

Published by J. Eedes, No 2, Newgate Street [n.d., c.1810].
Letterpress broadside in wood engraved decorative frame, sheet c.490 x 380mm. Tatty extremities.
Publius Lentulus is a fictitious person, said to have been Governor of Judea before Pontius, and to have written a letter to the Roman Senate, concerning Jesus. The letter of Lentulus is certainly apocryphal for a number of reasons. There never was a Governor of Jerusalem; no Procurator of Judea is known to have been called Lentulus, and a Roman governor would not have addressed the Senate in the way represented. Lastly a Roman writer would not have employed the expressions, 'prophet of truth', 'sons of men' or 'Jesus Christ'. The former two are Hebrew idioms, the third is taken from the New Testament. The letter, therefore, gives a description of Jesus such as Christian piety conceived him. The letter was first printed in the 'Life of Christ' by Ludolph the Carthusian (Cologne, 1474), and in the 'Introduction to the works of St. Anselm' (Nuremberg, 1491). But it is neither the work of St. Anselm nor of Ludolph. According to the manuscript of Jena, a certain Giacomo Colonna found the letter in 1421 in an ancient Roman document sent to Rome from Constantinople. It must be of Greek origin, and translated into Latin during the thirteenth or fourteenth century, though it received its present form at the hands of a humanist of the fifteenth or sixteenth century.

Publius Lentulus is a fictitious person, said to have been Governor of Judea before Pontius, and to have written a letter to the Roman Senate, concerning Jesus. The letter of Lentulus is certainly apocryphal for a number of reasons. There never was a Governor of Jerusalem; no Procurator of Judea is known to have been called Lentulus, and a Roman governor would not have addressed the Senate in the way represented. Lastly a Roman writer would not have employed the expressions, 'prophet of truth', 'sons of men' or 'Jesus Christ'. The former two are Hebrew idioms, the third is taken from the New Testament. The letter, therefore, gives a description of Jesus such as Christian piety conceived him. The letter was first printed in the 'Life of Christ' by Ludolph the Carthusian (Cologne, 1474), and in the 'Introduction to the works of St. Anselm' (Nuremberg, 1491). But it is neither the work of St. Anselm nor of Ludolph. According to the manuscript of Jena, a certain Giacomo Colonna found the letter in 1421 in an ancient Roman document sent to Rome from Constantinople. It must be of Greek origin, and translated into Latin during the thirteenth or fourteenth century, though it received its present form at the hands of a humanist of the fifteenth or sixteenth century.

William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath (1684-1764), Statesman. Throughout the reign of Queen Anne (1702-14), Pulteney played a prominent part in the Whig struggle to regain power from the Tories. He became a Whig Member of Parliament in 1705 and held a number of government posts before falling out with Sir Robert Walpole, the Whig Prime Minister. From his opposition faction, Pulteney was in a position to take over the government on three occasions, but failed to do so. When Walpole fell from power in 1742, Pulteney declined two requests by George II to form a government, accepting instead the first Lordship of the Treasury in the 1st Earl of Wilmington's ministry (1742-3) and the earldom of Bath.

William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath (1684-1764), Statesman. Throughout the reign of Queen Anne (1702-14), Pulteney played a prominent part in the Whig struggle to regain power from the Tories. He became a Whig Member of Parliament in 1705 and held a number of government posts before falling out with Sir Robert Walpole, the Whig Prime Minister. From his opposition faction, Pulteney was in a position to take over the government on three occasions, but failed to do so. When Walpole fell from power in 1742, Pulteney declined two requests by George II to form a government, accepting instead the first Lordship of the Treasury in the 1st Earl of Wilmington's ministry (1742-3) and the earldom of Bath.

Hotwells takes its name from the hot springs which bubble up through the rocks of Avon Gorge. In 1692 the Society of Merchant Venturers leased the springs and a pump room was built. The pump room of 1696 was demolished and replaced by Hotewells House in 1816. In 1822 a new pump room was built, as seen here, but that too was eventually demolished in 1867 to allow for the widening of the River Avon.
