[Forth & Clyde Navigation] By Virtue of several Acts of Parliament, passed in the Reign of His present Majesty,
[Forth & Clyde Navigation] By Virtue of several Acts of Parliament, passed in the Reign of His present Majesty, The Governor and Council of the Company of Proprietors of the Forth and Clyde Navigation have ordered the following Rates and Duties on all Vessels, Goods, Commodities, navigated or conveyed on the said Navigation and Collateral Cut to the West End of the Monkland Canal, and lying in the Harbours and Basins, and on the Quays, Wharfs, and Landing Places belonging thereto, to be levied agreeably to the Rules and Regulations herein-after mentioned; and to commence from the 31st Day of March 1818, and continue in force till altered by the said Governor and Council.
[c.1818.]
4pp. letterpress, scarce. 445 x 270mm (17½ x 10¾"). With three a.l.s. from the company secretary, David Caldwell to Graham Hamond. Creasing.
A list of tolls and dues for the Forth & Clyde canal, including fines for not returning ice-fenders. The letters are addressed to Sir Graham Hamond (1779-1862) (mis-spelt Hammond), a Royal Naval officer who appears in Mather Brown's painting of the Battle of the Glorious First of June (1794), at which he served as a young midshipman. He continued to serve throughout the Napoleonic wars, including the Battle of Copenhagen and the siege of French-held Malta. These letters, giving details taking his yacht through the Forth & Clyde Navigation, are dated 1818, three years before he was made a Deputy Lieutenant of the Isle of Wight. The address is Norton Lodge (now Norton Grange), where Hamond died in 1862, less than a month after being promoted full admiral.

Garrick in the Green Room.
Garrick in the Green Room. From the original of the same size Painted by Hogarth in the Possession of the Publisher, J.W. Southgate, 22 Fleet Street.
Painted by W.m Hogarth [but Pietro Longhi]. Engraved by William Ward, Engraver to H.R.H. The Duke of Clarence. Printed by J. Lahee.
[n.d., c.1829.]
Scarce mezzotint. Sheet 560 x 740mm (22 x 29"). Trimmed within plate on three sides. Few minor repairs. Repaired tear top centre.
David Garrick lounging in a chair, arm raised to an informal audience. Behind the actor is the winged figure of Fame. According to a key in G. Daniel's "A Biographical and Critical Analysis of a Picture' (published in 1829, probably to coincide with the publication of this print), the audience consists of other English actors and Garrick's family, with William Hogarth at the front, back to the audience, head turned, gesturing at Garrick. These attributions were made by the owner of the painting and publisher of the print, James Webb Southgate, who, as an auctioneer and art dealer, had a vested interest in improving the attribution. The BM now attributes the painting to Pietro Longhi (1701-85) and describes the scene as Garrick in a Venetian salon in front of the Duke of Parma; The Lady Lever Art Gallery, where the painting currently resides, titles it merely 'A Poet Declaiming His Verses', despite the masks of comedy and tragedy under the seat suggesting a more theatrical theme.

As a painter he specialised in landscapes, but he also engraved mezzotints and etched, including the animals and birds of Francis Barlow.
