Engraving. 120 x 90mm (4¾ x 3½"). Trimmed. Backed onto album paper. Very small mark on upper centre.
Portrait of General John Burgoyne (1722 - 1792) was a British general, dramatist and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1761 to 1792. He first saw action during the Seven Years' War when he participated in several battles, most notably during the Portugal campaign of 1762. Burgoyne is best known for his role in the American Revolutionary War. He designed an invasion scheme and was appointed to command a force moving south from Canada to split away New England and end the rebellion. Burgoyne advanced from Canada but his slow movement allowed the Americans to concentrate their forces. Instead of coming to his aid according to the overall plan, the British Army in New York City moved south to capture Philadelphia.

London Published as the Act directs, Dec.r 15. 1798, by J. Wilkes.
Stipple, with large margins. Plate 165 x 114mm. 6½ x 4½". Very fine.
Edmund Burke (1729-1797) was an Anglo-Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist and philosopher who served for many years in the House of Commons as a member of the Whig party. In the words of Winston Churchill he was 'perhaps the greatest man that Ireland has produced'. He is remembered for his support of the cause of the American Revolutionaries and for his later opposition to the French Revolution. He was thus seen as a leading figure within the conservative faction of the Whig parts, which he dubbed the "Old Whigs", in opposition to the pro-French-Revolution "New Whigs", led by Charles James Fox. best remembered for "A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful" (1757) and "Reflections on the Revolution in France" (1790), a founding text for modern political conservatism; its reference to "the swinish multitude" was frequently quoted in radical contexts.

One of several satires by Sayers targeting Burke’s rhetorical exageration. Burke (1729-97), depicted as a showman, operates a magic lantern projecting exaggerated images symbolizing the Benares and Begums charges (trial of Warren Hastings): a chained elephant labeled "A Benares Flea," stacked mountains called "A Begum Wart," floating weeping eyes as "Begums Tears," and a spouting whale dubbed "An Ouzle."

Burkeing the Constitution of E-g-d!!!!!
Pub.d. by J.Field 65 Quadrant.
Rare hand-coloued etching. 315 x 230mm, (12½ x 9"). Trimmed. Laid on album sheet.
Robert Peel and Wellington are depicted as murderers William Hare and William Burke smothering the allegorical figure of the British Constitution who lies upon a wooden bed. A Catholic priest linked arm-in-arm with a devil can be seen through a window. Burke and Hare commited several murders in Edinburgh in 1828 by smothering their victims, it is from their actions that the verb 'burking' came into use. The English constitution established in 1688 after the glorious Revolution and the overthrow of James II, had ended any chance of Catholicism being re-established in England, however, the introduction of the Catholic emancipation by Wellington is seen as destoying this.

Traduites de l'Anglais avec des Notes, par J. Castéra.
Paris, Chez F.Buisson, Imprimeur-Libraire, rue Hauteseille, no. 20. An IX (1800).
Book. 3 text vols, 8vo, original half calf with morocco gilt title labels, marbled boards, and Atlas. With marbled boards. Vol I pp. (ii)+viii+380; vol II pp. (ii)+396; vol III pp. (ii)+381; Atlas pp. 4, 2 folding maps and 28 plates, as called for, uncut. Damp staining to edge of plate volume.
The first French edition of the official account of Captain Michael Symes's embassy to Burma in 1795. Sent by the Governor General of India, Sir John Shore, Symes was to negotiate with the Burmese king, not only to bring stability to the eastern borders of India but also to get the Burmese ports closed to French warships. Symes was only partially successful, winning the right for a Company's agent to reside in Rangoon. Thirty years later the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824-6) was a long and very costly campaign. Symes's account of his expedition was Europe's first realistic account of Burma, with illustrations of costumes, temples, the Burmese alphabet, boats and plants including an orchid.

Young Burns at the Grave of his Father. If my Son should happen to be a man of feeling, sentiment and taste, I shall thus add largely to his enjoyments. Let me flatter myself that this sweet little fellow, who is just now running about my desk, will be a man of a melting, ardent, glowing heart, and an immagination delighted with the painter, and rapt with the poet. Let my figure him wandering out in a sweet evening to inhale the balmy gales and enjoy the growing luxuriance of the spring, himself the while in the blooming youth of Life. He looks abroad on all nature,and through nature up to nature's God! Burns Letters.
