Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), the mathematician and first astronomer to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology, which displaced the Earth from the centre of the universe.

Copernicus's pioneering work 'The Revolutions of Celestial Spheres' (1543) describes his idea of a Sun-centred universe, in which the Earth is merely one of the planets revolving around the Sun and rotating on its axis.

Satire on Baron Lyndhurst's wavering stance over Catholic Emancipation, and his wife's notorious affair with the Earl of Dudley. Lyndhurst, Chancellor under three successive Prime Ministers, had spoken against Emancipation in 1827 but was speaking in favour of it in 1829. Here it suggested he buy a new coat- 'you know you turnd it only last year & it has been turned before that. so I much doubt if it will bear turning any more [..]' Lyndhurst receives his advice from 'Doodle' (Dudley), who suggests Lyndhurst could afford to buy a new coat as 'her Ladyship earns her own expenses. Doodle pays all her bills and gives her every thing she can wish for'. Lady Lyndhurst was involved in several affairs with the wealthy and powerful.
