Titus Oates, from a rare Print.
Publishd March 25 1810 by W.m Richardson Jun.r York House Strand.
Engraving. Plate: 205 x 135mm (8 x 5¼''). Foxing. Small margins.
A portrait of a man in pillory. Titus Oates (1649-1705) was an English perjurer who fabricated the 'Popish Plot', a supposed Catholic conspiracy to kill King Charles II. He began his career as an Anglican priest, but converted to Catholicism in 1677. This secured his admission to Jesuit college at St Omer, and this gave him enough information to give his story about a Catholic plot to murder Charles some plausibility. Oates swore his testimony to Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey in September 1678, and it was Godfrey's murder a few weeks later (a death that has never been explained) that overnight turned the plot in the public mind from allegation to certainty. Oates managed to retain a central role in the unfolding affair by continually inventing new accusations. In 1684, in the flood of the Tory reaction, he was prosecuted for perjury, and in 1685 sentenced to the pillory and public flogging. The Glorious Revolution saved him; he was pardoned, given a pension and married a wealthy widow.

A portrait of the adventurer and con man James George Semple Lisle (1759-1815) who travelled across the world and was often in prison for fraud. Having served in America in the American Revolutionary Wars Semple was taken prisoner in 1776 and while in America had a relationship with the writer Elizabeth Sarah Gooch. He travelled back to Europe in the 1780s and claimed to have met many members of European royalty. Semple returned to England in 1784 and was tried and sentenced to seven years' transportation for fraud. He was released on the promise that he leave England so he set off for France and while there he claimed to have witnessed the execution of Louis XVI. He returned to England in 1795 to escape trouble in France and was once again arrested and sentenced to transportation to Botany Bay, he tried to avoid this sentence by stabbing and starving himself but he recovered and was dispatched in the 'Lady Jane Shore' to Australia. However, during the voyage a mutiny broke out and Semple and some fellow sailors left the ship in a rowing boat and landed in South America. From South America Semple travelled to Tangier where he gave himself up and he was taken back to England and imprisoned in Tothill Fields Prison where he penned and published his memoir 'The Life of Major J. G. Semple Lisle'. He offered himself as a spy to the government, was once again sentenced to transportation in 1814 but was pardonned by the Prince Regent.
