Portrait of Field Marshal Henry Seymour Conway (1721 - 1795) was a British general and statesman. A brother of the 1st Marquess of Hertford, and cousin of Horace Walpole, he began his military career in the War of the Austrian Succession. He held various political offices including Chief Secretary for Ireland, Secretary of State for the Southern Department, Leader of the House of Commons and Secretary of State for the Northern Department. He eventually rose to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Forces. Conway sought to urge a moderate policy towards the American colonies, being the principal supporter of the repeal of the Stamp Act, and opposing the taxation policies of Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles Townshend.

Portrait of Eliza Cook (1818-89), poet and journalist, seated in a seaside cave, bonnet and dog at her feet. It was the cover illustration to sheet music for her 'Song of the Dog'. She began to write verses before she was fifteen; indeed, some of her most popular poems, such as ‘I'm afloat' and the ‘Star of Glengarry,' were composed in her girlhood. Her first volume, ‘Lays of a Wild Harp,' appeared as early as 1835, when she was but seventeen. In May 1849 Eliza Cook brought out a publication upon somewhat similar lines to ‘Chambers's Journal,' which she called ‘Eliza Cook's Journal.' Great part of its contents reappeared in ‘Jottings from my Journal,' 1860. They consisted of essays and sketches written in a simple, clear, and unpretending style, and generally conveyed some moral lesson. Some of them are mild satires on the social failings of her contemporaries, and exhibit good sense and some humour. Prominent chartist and a proponent of political freedom for women.

Eliza Cook (1818-89), poet and journalist. She began to write verses before she was fifteen; indeed, some of her most popular poems, such as ‘I'm afloat' and the ‘Star of Glengarry,' were composed in her girlhood. Her first volume, ‘Lays of a Wild Harp,' appeared as early as 1835, when she was but seventeen. Encouraged by its favourable reception, she began to send verses without revealing her name to the ‘Weekly Dispatch,' the ‘Metropolitan Magazine,' and the ‘New Monthly Magazine;' and Jerdan sang her praises in the ‘Literary Gazette.' After a time she confined herself to the ‘Weekly Dispatch,' where her first contribution had appeared under the signature ‘C.' on 27 Nov. 1836. In May of the following year that paper printed the ‘Old Arm Chair' with her initials. This, by far the most popular of Eliza Cook's poems, was inspired by affection for her dead mother. Its success and that of other verses from the same pen induced the proprietor of the ‘Dispatch' (Alderman Harmer of Ingress Abbey in Kent) to have a notice inserted in his paper requesting that the writer would reveal her name. Eliza Cook, who was now living in the neighbourhood of St. George's Road, Walworth, complied with the request. The result was a handsome pecuniary acknowledgment, and a regular engagement to contribute to the paper. Her second volume, entitled ‘Melaia and other Poems,' was published in London in 1838 (reissued in 1840 and 1845), and met with great success both in England and America, where an edition was issued at New York in 1844. The poem which gave its title to the volume is an eastern tale, the theme being the attachment of a dog to his master. In May 1849 Eliza Cook brought out a publication upon somewhat similar lines to ‘Chambers's Journal,' which she called ‘Eliza Cook's Journal.' Great part of its contents reappeared in ‘Jottings from my Journal,' 1860. They consisted of essays and sketches written in a simple, clear, and unpretending style, and generally conveyed some moral lesson. Some of them are mild satires on the social failings of her contemporaries, and exhibit good sense and some humour.

Etching. Sheet 265 x 165mm (10½ x 6½"). Trimmed within plate, notched in top left edge.
A full-length portrait of murderer James Cook (1811-32), standing looking down with a horrified expression, holding a hat with both hands, wearing short open double-breasted jacket, waistcoat and neckerchief tied in a bow. Cook, a 21-year old bookbinder, owed John Pass (originally Paas), an engraver and bookbinders' toolmaker, money. When Pass called to collect, Cook killed him and attempted to hide the crime by dismembering Pass and trying to burn the limbs. Cook was hung and gibbetted in Leicester: so many visitors came to view the body that the Home Office intervened, ordering it removed. This was the last recorded gibbeting in England.

[The Cook Family Coat of Arms] Capt. Cook.
[n.d., c.1850, but later.]
Stipple engraving on steel. 130 x 95mm (5 x 3¾"), with very wide margins.
The coat of arms presented to the Cook family in 1785, six years after James Cook's death on Hawaii. Beaglehole writes: ''The shield azure bears between its two golden 'polar stars' no heraldic symbol but a map of the Pacific hemisphere, with every tenth degree of latitude marked and every fifteenth of longitude; superimposed are Cook's tracks in red, ending precisely at Hawaii. 'And for a crest, on a wreath of the colours, is an arm imbowed, vested in the uniform of a captain of the Royal Navy. In the hand is the Union Jack on a staff proper. The arm is encircled by a wreath of palm and laurel.' Two mottos, an unusual distinction, accompany these bearings: above the crest the words Circa orbem, below the shield another adaptation from the Royal Society, the biographical statement Nil intentatum reliquit.''. Cook's widow never seems to have used it, nor was it added to any of Cook's memorials.
