La Tentation de St. Antoine (The Temptation of St. Anthony) by Jacques-Philippe Le Bas (1707-1783), draughtsman, etcher, and engraver, after a painting by David Teniers, the younger, (1610-1690). St Anthony, praying in a cave before a crucifix and surrounded by monstrous creatures, is interrupted by a demon who points out at a courtesan to the right, with claws instead of feet, walking toward him, with a glass in her hand. She is urged forward by a creature that seems half-human and half-fowl. Other bizarre creatures fly through a doorway in the center or hover over the saint's head. An inscription in French below the image gives the provenance of the original painting; in the bottom right corner: '41e Teniers'.

Plan of the Intended Coast Road from near St. Austell to Torpoint through Fowey and Looe showing the present circuitous and hilly Road through Liskeard and Lostwithiel Surveyed under the directions of Ja.s M. Rendel Civil Engineer 1834
Hackett, lithog.d, 15, Paris Street, Exeter.
Scarce lithographic map with hand-colouring, backed onto linen, printed area approx. 715 x 2150mm (28¼ x 84¾")
Very large map showing the area between Plymouth and St. Austell in Cornwall on the south coast of England, and north as far as Liskeard. The map shows the proposed coastal road between St. Austell and Torpoint (across the river Tamar from Plymouth) and was surveyed under the direction of the renowned civil engineer James Meadow Rendel (1799-1856). Rendel was born near Okehampton in Devon and, after working for Thomas Telford, set up his own practice in Plymouth in 1822. Rendel's bridge across an estuary of the Plym within Plymouth harbour (completed 1827) established him as a leader of contemporary bridge design, and in the 1830s Rendel's reputation was such that he was involved in the improvement and development of practically every river and harbour in south-west England. In 1838 he moved to London and thereafter took on projects in the north of England and Scotland and, in the 1850s, countries including South Africa, India and Brazil.

St Davids head, a headland in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.

Nothing seems wanting but the thick impenetrable groves of oaks which have been thought concomitant to places of Druidical worship and which, from the exposed nature of this situation, would never, I think, have existed here even in former days."

St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics was founded in London in 1751 for the treatment of incurable lunatics. It was the second public institution in London created to look after mentally ill people, after the Hospital of St. Mary of Bethlem (Bedlam, founded in 1246). The hospital was originally housed in a converted foundry in Windmill Street, Upper Moorfields, close to Bedlam. It moved to purpose-built premises on Old Street, on the north-west corner of Providence Row, in 1786. Behind the main building were two gardens for the exercise of the less disturbed inmates, one for men and another for women. The patients were transferred to other institutions in 1916, and the buildings were acquired by the Bank of England to become the St Luke's Printing Works, used for printing bank notes until the early 1950s. Plate to Volume III of Rudolph Ackermann's 'Microcosm of London', 3 vols., 1808-10. Numbered 'Plate 77.' upper right.

The Theatre was never really a success and was closed and demolished in 1879.
