Murray Delin.t. Junto fec.t.
Publish'd according of act Dec.r 6. 1779. for J. Almon in Piccadilly London.
Etching, sheet 250 x 335mm (10 x 13¼"). Trimmed within plate.
A satire on the state of the country that year. The names of the artists indicate that the creator believed this to be the fault of John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713-92) (Stuart), carried on by William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield (1705-93) (Murray) and executed by the Junto (Whigs). A bull representing John Bull is being lured on the other side of a creek that is marked "Rubicon - Flu -". Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford (1732-92) sits on his back, heavily fat and dozing off, ; at his back is a large square pack, inscribed "Taxes". The bull is restrained by a rope that is looped around a post bearing the inscription "The Last Stake," with a Scotsman in Highland attire intended for Bute and Mansfield in judge's robes and a wig holding the end of the rope. A pole and a club are being used by two other members of "the Junto" to prod the bull. Spain and France are using spears and swords to assault the bull. Spain wears a cut doublet, ruff, and cloak, while France dons a coat, hat, and bag-wig in French fashion. Behind them George III, who is idly observing the conflict with his hands in his pockets as they stand in front of an inn entrance gets a chamber pot emptied on his head by a woman's arm out the window. The signboard with the crown above the door is falling off and is only hanging by one hook. On the nearer side of the "Rubicon" a Dutchman stands facing the wall of a building, urinating on a paper inscribed "British Memorial".

ex Autographis penes Ric. Rawlinson L.L.D. R.S.S & AT socii Anno 1753. [British, c.1750s.]
Engraved facsimile of a Latin legal document, probably an adjudication. A much shorter, four-line Latin text, lettered to a scroll, below. Two documents printed from a single folding plate, depicted with their official wax seals. 400 x 220mm. 15¾ x 8¾". Watermarked laid paper. Fold splitting; some soiling and staining. Trace of pen annotations to verso.
The original documents are from the collection of Richard Rawlinson (1690 - 1755), a clergyman and antiquarian who bequeathed a huge collection of books and manuscripts to the Bodleian Library, Oxford. In 1716 he was ordained, but as he was a nonjuror and Jacobite, the ceremony was performed by a nonjuring bishop, Jeremy Collier. In 1728 he became a bishop, but seems to have preferred to pass his time in collecting books and manuscripts, pictures and curiosities, rather than in discharging his episcopal functions. At his death Rawlinson left to the Library 5,205 manuscripts bound in volumes that include many rare broadsides and other printed ephemera, his curiosities, and some other property that endowed a professorship of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford. The Rawlinsonian Professor of Anglo-Saxon was first appointed in 1795. He was also a benefactor to St John's College, Oxford.

The land at Bolton, as well as other resources, were given to the order by Lady Alice de Romille of Skipton Castle in 1154. The original document is from the collection of Richard Rawlinson (1690 - 1755), a clergyman and antiquarian who bequeathed a huge collection of books and manuscripts to the Bodleian Library, Oxford. In 1716 he was ordained, but as he was a nonjuror and Jacobite, the ceremony was performed by a nonjuring bishop, Jeremy Collier. In 1728 he became a bishop, but seems to have preferred to pass his time in collecting books and manuscripts, pictures and curiosities, rather than in discharging his episcopal functions. At his death Rawlinson left to the Library 5,205 manuscripts bound in volumes that include many rare broadsides and other printed ephemera, his curiosities, and some other property that endowed a professorship of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford. The Rawlinsonian Professor of Anglo-Saxon was first appointed in 1795. He was also a benefactor to St John's College, Oxford.

A frankalmoigne: a tenure by which a religious corporation holds lands given to them and their successors forever, usually on condition of praying for the soul of the donor and his heirs - called also tenure by free alms. The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, commonly known as the Knights Templar (or simply Templars) were among the most famous of the Western Christian military orders. Officially endorsed by the Catholic Church around 1129, the Order became a favoured charity throughout Christendom, and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades.

The London Charterhouse was the fourth house of the order of Carthusians founded in England. It flourished for nearly three centuries in prosperity, its brethren retaining a good character for severe discipline and holy life, when the storm of the dissolution broke upon them. Charterhouse School was founded by Thomas Sutton in 1611 on the site of the old monastery in Charterhouse Square, Smithfield.

Bertram de Verdun of Alton Castle made a grant of land in 1176 at a place called Chotes to the Cistercian monks of Aunay-sur-Odon in Normandy, as the site for a new abbey. "Chotes" has been identified as Cotton, close to Alton, Staffordshire. The monks of "Chotes" moved to Croxden in 1179. The monastery was styled as the Abbey of the Vale of St Mary of Croxden and was dedicated in 1181. Wax seal to lower part.

Latona, daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe, gave birth to Artemis and Apollo, children of Zeus, on Delos. Fleeing the wrath of Hera, Latona passed through Lycia. When she tried to drink from a well the local peasants stirred up mud to make the water undrinkable, so Latona turned them all into frogs, as shown here. Engraving after 'Latona and the Peasants of Lycia' by Jean Jouvenet (1649-1717), one of the most important painters of religious works in France in the late 17th and early 18th century. The painting was a royal commission for the château of Fontainebleau, executed c.1700-1.
