Seleucus giving up his wife for his son: classic interior with prince Antiochus I Soter lying ill on a canopied bed at right, his father Seleucus I pointing in despair at the crown and sceptre on a table at centre, his father's wife Stratonice standing by, the doctor Eristratos seen standing behind. Antiochus I Soter (c. 324/3 – 261 BC) was struck down by a mysterious illness. Erasistratus (c. 304 – c. 250 BC), Greek anatomist and royal physician under Seleucus I Nicator of Syria, realised that the illness of Antiochus was lovesickness for his stepmother Stratonice (c. 320 BC - 254 BC), by observing that Antiochus's pulse rate rises when ever he sees her. Seleucus I Nicator (c. 358 – 281 BC) gave up his young wife to save his son and in 294 BC Antiochus married his stepmother.

[Apocrypha Combatants. Being a Series of Twelve Caricatures, Illustrative of that Controversy.]
[Published by Thomas Sinclair, West Regester Street Edinburgh, n.d., 1828.]
Oblong quarto, original card covers, stitched, ink mss. title, rubbed; 16 lithographs (5 with old colour) from the two 'Apocrypha Combatants' series (1-5, 8-12 of the First Series, 1-6 of the second series; and six further lithographs in the same style. Lacking title sheets. Scarce collection. Some wear, one of the extra plates with a tear into image.
A scarce series of caricatures satirising the controversy over which of the Apocrypha should be included in the bible. Andrew Mitchell Thomson (1779–1831) resigned from the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1824, on the grounds that they had bound up the Apocrypha with the Bible. He used his ‘Christian Instructor’ to condemn them, creating this controversy, lasting until 1836. Apocrypha means 'hidden things' in Greek. The Apocryphical books of the Bible fall into two categories: texts which were included in some canonical version of the Bible at some point, and other texts of a Biblical nature which have never been canonical. Thomas Sinclair (1805-81), born in the Orkney Isles, studied lithography in Edinburgh. He had emigrated to Philadelphia by 1833, where he worked for Kennedy & Lucas before setting up his own firm in 1838. He was one of the first printers in Philadelphia to experiment with colour lithography.
See BM Satire: 15573, etc. As the BM only has 1-6 of the second series it is unlikely more were published (they have only a photostat of plate 2.)

An Appeal to the Common Sense of the Electors of Great Britain. Fellow Countrymen, A Great crisis is arrived, which demands all your energy, and all your wisdom. In the very midst of the Session, before the Ways and Means have been voted to carry on the expenses of the Government, after the Chancellor of the Exchequer has failed in all his financial measures...Are you prepared to enter upon the evils of perpetual change,-to heave no security against the excesses of popular violence or military despotism-against private or public oppression-against the malice of the powerful, or the reckless fury of the multitude? For, be assured, that the tempest which shakes the Throne, leaves no tenement, however humble, secure!! Be Wise In Time!!
