Thomas Hollis (1720 - 1774), libertarian, writer, bibliophile and patron of the arts, his medallion bust on an inscribed obelisk. Hollis was trained in public service and spent the years 1740 to 1748 practicing law. Hollis toured Europe twice, in 1748-9 and again from 1750 to 1753 mixing with French philosophers and Italian painters such as Canaletto and Piranesi. Hollis's main contribution to public service was to protect and advance English liberty by circulating books on government. From 1754 he reprinted and distributed literature from the seventeenth century, including works such as Toland's Life of Milton, tracts by Marchmont Nedham, Henry Neville, and Philip Sidney, and John Locke's Two Treatises of Government.

Sir John Holt (1642-1710) was Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales from 17 April 1689 to his death. He purchased Redgrave Manor in Suffolk, which had been the seat of the Bacon family in 1702, when debts forced the fifth baronet, Sir Robert Bacon, to sell the estate. A letter in the Bodleian Library reads: "The celebrated Dr Radcliffe, the physician ... took special pains to preserve the life of LCJ Holt's wife, whom he attended out of spite to her husband, who wished her dead." Sir John Holt's sister Susan was married to Francis Levett, Esq., tobacco merchant and brother of Sir Richard Levett, Lord Mayor of London.

Satire, presumably on the 1822 Congress of Verona, in which representatives of the Quintuple Alliance (Russia, Austria, Prussia, France and the United Kingdom) debated, amongst other matters, the 'Spanish Question'. This concerned the proposed French intervention in Spain to restore Ferdinand VII to his throne and bring an end to the 'Trienio Liberal' of 1820-3, three years of liberal democracy following a popular uprising against the king. Those assembled are in favour of restoring the king with the exception of Wellington, on the right, who denounces this 'Unholy Alliance' and insists 'I will have no hand in it'.

[Holyrood Palace, Scotland.] 72. [Holyrood Palace is the chief royal palace in Scotland, and the residence of Mary, Queen of Scots, for the six tragic years. The buildings are in an unimposing French style forming a quadrangle, with the historical apartments on one side the state apartments on the other. The Palace was begun in 1500 by James IV. Since the departure of James VI (1603) to ascend the English throne, Holyrood has seldom been visited, and never occupied for any length of time, by any crowned head. Queen Victoria occassionally used the Palace, and George V. and Queen Mary were in residence for some days n 1927.]
