[n.d, c.1805.]
Engraving. Sheet 210 x 125mm (8¼ x 5"). Small margins.
A frontispiece depicting the executions of the Temeraire mutineers in 1802 shows the punishment of the ringleaders following the suppression of the brief but serious uprising at sea. On 3 December, sailors aboard Temeraire refused orders and demanded the ship return to England. They briefly dispersed but soon renewed the protest, barricading themselves below deck and refusing commands. The next day, Rear Admiral Campbell intervened, but disorder led to clashes with officers and the arrest of ringleaders, after which the mutiny collapsed. The ship returned to England, where fourteen ringleaders were court-martialled in 1802; twelve were executed, and the others received flogging or life imprisonment.

Engraving. Sheet 260 x 170mm (15 x 10½"). Trimmed into image, losing part of title, laid on album paper at edges.
Sir Roger L'Estrange (1616-1704), a Royalist pamphleteer, best known for 'An Account of the Growth of Knavery', which ruthlessly attacked the parliamentary opposition, placing them as "dissenting fanatics". During the Civil War he was sentenced to death as a spy, but after four years' imprisonment in Newgate he escaped to Holland. Pardoned by Cromwell in 1653 he returned to England, and, after a few years of living quietly, he started printed pamphlets calling for the return of Charles II. After the Restoration he turned from poacher to gamekeeper: as 'Surveyor of the Imprimery' he was tasked with the prevention of the publication of dissenting writings, with the right to search the premises of printers and booksellers on the mere suspicion. In the 1660s he returned to journalism; he wrote questioning the truthfulness of Titus Oates during the Popish Plot of 1678; and in 1681 he started the 'Observator', a paper written in the form of a dialogue between a Whig and a Tory (biased to Toryism), which lasted six years. Knighted by James II in 1685, he served as MP for Winchester 1685-89); however he lost all his offices with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and, having been arrested for suspected plots, turned to more academic writing, including acclaimed translations of Æsop's Fables and the works of Flavius Josephus.

[Drawn & engraved by John Faber.]
Printed for Ca: Bowles in St Pauls Church Yard, London [n.d., c.1760.]
Mezzotint, 18th century watermark. 355 x 255mm (14 x 9¾").
Portrait of the philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) taken from a bust at the Royal Palace at Kew, now the Royal Botanic Gardens. In 1730 Queen Caroline commissioned a 'hermitage', decorated with a series of five marble busts by the English sculptor Michael Rysbrack to celebrate British philosphers: Locke, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Samuel Clarke and William Wollaston. Unfortunately the Hermitage no longer exists. Locke was a staunch supporter of the Williamite cause and the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which brought William III of Orange to the throne. Locke’s philosophy, particularly his ‘Two Treatises of Government’, provided the intellectual justification for the new constitutional order, asserting that government relies on the consent of the governed.

Portrait of Maurice Margarot (1745-1815), a founding member of the London Corresponding Society, was a leading advocate of parliamentary reform.

After defending himself in a speech deemed seditious, he was convicted and transported to New South Wales with other radicals known as the Scottish Martyrs. During the voyage, allegations of a planned mutiny led to several prisoners being confined, though Margarot was not; claims of his involvement were made but never formally examined on arrival.

When Conrad von Rosen, commander of the Jacobite army, herded the local Protestants under the city walls to dispirit the defenders, Michelburne's answer was to erect a gallows on the Royal Bastion, and threaten to hang all the Jacobite prisoners. James II saw what a public relations disaster this was and overruled Rosen.
