Seated portrait of William Richard Hamilton (1777-1859), diplomat and antiquarian. As chief private secretary to Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin, he was in Egypt for the evacuation of Napoleon's defeated army in 1801: with an escort of soldiers he boarded a French ship and recovered the Rosetta Stone, which the French were taking away contrary to the treaty. The following year he collected the Parthenon marbles for removal to England, and organised the recovery of all the pieces that sank at Cerigo. After a voyage up the Nile, he wrote a well-known work of Egyptology, 'Ægyptiaca', which contained an important transcript of the 'Greek copy of the decree on the Rosetta stone', with a translation in English. In 1830 he succeeded Sir Thomas Lawrence as Secretary of the Society of Dilettanti; in 1833 he was one of the founders of the Royal Geographical Society; and he was a trustee of the British Museum from 1838-58.

Frontispiece to the Middlesex Petition. The Humble Petition of the Freeholders of the County of Middlesex.
[Oxford Magazine 1769.]
Etching with letterpress, sheet 345 x 210 (13¾ x 8¼"). Creased where previously folded.
A broadside on the electorate of John Wilkes (1726-97), presenting a petition signed by 1565 freeholders to King George III (1738-1820) on 24 May 1769; with an etching showing the King seated on his throne, attended by two courtiers, in front of him a man presents a scroll, on the left a group of six men stand; with engraved title, and letterpress title and text in three columns. Wilkes had been re-elected MP for Middlesex in February, March and April 1769, but on all three occasions the election was overturned by Parliament. After the last election his opponent Henry Lawes Luttrell (1743–1821) was declared elected. Supporters of Wilkes formed the Bill of Rights Society, which tried to force Parliament to accept the will of the Middlesex electorate (the society aimed also at parliamentary reforms). According to BM Satires, an impression of this print faces p.209 of the Oxford Magazine (1769). The print was published with the June number of the Magazine.

The Conference.
[Oxford Mag. Feb. 1769.]
Etching with letterpress, 18th century watermark, sheet 315 x 205mm (12½ x 8¼"). Creased where previously folded. Some time staining.
Satire from the Oxford Magazine 1769 concerning the clash of political interest between Thomas Harley (1730-1804) and William Beckford (1709-70), both MPs for the City of London. Standing on the left, Beckford, dressed in a mayor's robe, facing Harley and saying “Receive Instruction & not Silver” he holds a paper lettered “They have a Right to give us Instructions”. Harley, a Merchant Taylor, holds a tailor’s goose, a soldier’s coat and shears, and responds “Teach us our Lesson! Are we then School Boys? Rather cut asunder my Thread of Life”. The figures are enclosed by a frame with pillars surmounted by the heads of putti. On the side by Beckford is a small English rose; on Harley’s side is a Scottish thistle to indicate his support for Bute. Below that are instructions given to Sir Robert Ladbroke (1713-73), Beckford, Harley and Barlow Trecothick (1718-75) Representatives of the City of London: By their Constituents. And two columns of fourteen articles largely designed to oppose current government policy and alleged practices. These are signed Charles Clavey (fl. 1769) Chairman of the Common Hall. Guildhall, Feb. 10, 1769. On 10th February 1769, the Common Council of the City of London met, elected Clavier as leader, and drew up these instructions for members of Parliament. Harley is said to have received a lucrative uniform commission as a reward for his role in quelling anti-government riots in the city during his tenure as mayor in 1767-68. Beckford was an ardent supporter of William Pitt, Lord Chatham, against the Duke of Grafton's government; he was mayor in 1762-63 and would become mayor again in 1769-70.
