George Legge, 3rd Earl of Dartmouth KG, PC, FRS (1755-1810), styled Viscount Lewisham until 1801, was a British politician. Dartmouth was returned to Parliament for Plymouth in 1778, a seat he held until 1780. The latter year he was returned for both Horsham and Staffordshire 1784, but chose to represent the latter. He continued to represent this constituency until 1784. From 1783 to 1798 he served as Lord Warden of the Stannaries. He remained out of Parliament for the next 17 years, but in 1801 he was summoned to the House of Lords through a writ of acceleration in his father's junior title of Baron Dartmouth. He succeeded his father in the earldom later the same year. Dartmouth served under Henry Addington as President of the Board of Control between 1801 and 1802 and as Lord Steward between 1802 and 1804. From 1804 to 1810 he was Lord Chamberlain under successively Pitt the Younger, Lord Grenville, the Duke of Portland and Spencer Perceval. He was sworn of the Privy Council in 1801 and appointed a Knight of the Garter in 1805. He was also admitted a Fellow of the Royal Society on 3 May 1781. Engraved after the portrait by Thomas Phillips (1770-1845), whose over 700 portraits record the leading personalities of his time

Georgiana Maria, youngest daughter of Lieutenant-colonel Cottin [1794-1859], wife of John Fleming Leicester, 1st Baron de Tabley, of Tabley house in Cheshire. Her beauty was captured by Sir Thomas Lawrence in the famous portrait of her in the character of Hope. This is a rare engraving after the painting by William Owen R.A. (1769-1825) that hangs at Tabley. The engraver is uncertain: it is possibly the suppressed plate by Charles Turner (1773-1857). William Owen worked as an apprentice to Charles Catton, R.A., for seven years, starting in 1786. He entered the Royal Academy as a student in 1791, receiving encouragement from, among others, Sir Joshua Reynolds. He was elected R.A. in 1806, became portrait painter to the Prince of Wales in 1810, and was appointed principal painter to the Prince Regent in 1813.

North Leicestershire Election. A New Song To An Old Tune. Dedicated to all gentlemen of Fox-killing tendencies.
[Leicestershire, c.1874.]
Satirical song in six letterpress verses, broadside with woodcut title. Thin rag paper, sheet 315 x 165mm, 12½ x 6½". Folds, as normal.
An extremely scarce locally-printed broadside celebrating the defeat at the polls of a parliamentary candidate for Leicestershire. The author is a hunt supporter who accuses the candidate of threatening to kill foxes and put and end to fox hunting in the district should he not be returned. He cites at top a quotation from White's History of Leicestershire in support of his stance. The final verse calls for two Tory candidates to be elected, one being Lord John James Robert Manners, seventh Duke of Rutland (1818 - 1906). Manners was first returned for North Leicestershire in 1857, and he represented that constituency until 1885; after the Redistribution Act, he sat for the Melton Division of the county until he succeeded his brother in the dukedom in 1888. The duke himself was not deeply interested in sport, but he held for a time the hereditary mastership of the Belvoir hounds, the private pack of the dukes of Rutland which was instituted in 1720, and has since been in their ownership.

Leifchild, John 1780-1862, independent minister, John Linnel was an English painter who made a good living as a fashionable portraitist, but preferred to paint landscapes.

These paintings were highly desired and caused Linnel to amass a great deal of wealth. However, he was not favored among his colleagues and was denied membership to the Royal Academy.

Mezzotint, proof signed by the engraver, ltd to 275. 310 x 490mm.
'Little Fatima' has an added interest because of its Orientalism. Leighton first showed an Oriental subject, a `Reminiscence of Algiers' at the Society of British Artists in 1858. Ten years later, in 1868, he made a journey to Egypt and in the autumn of 1873 he worked in Damascus where he made many studies and where he probably gained the inspiration for the present work.

New Edinburgh and Leith Water Company. President. The Right Honourable the Earl of Morlay. Vice-Presidents. The Right Honourable Lord Gray, Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, Baronet. Extraordinary Directors... Robert Dundas, Esq. of Arniston, General Maxwell, Alexander Munro, Esq. Prince's Street... Ordinary Directors. Sir John Connell, Judge of the High Court of Admiralty, John Cockburn, Esq. Wine Merchant... Alexander Burn, Esq. Senior Magistrate of Leith. The Directors of the proposed New Edinburgh and Leith Water Company having been appointed at a late General Meeting of the Subscribers, they think it proper to cause this General Notice to be given to the Public, in order to apprise them of the nature of the intended establishment... The Directors cannot conclude, without calling the attention of the Public to the fact, that if the proposed Bill shall be lost in Parliament from a want of support on their part, they will lose, in all likelihood, for ever, that benefit which would immediately accrue by the Bill being passed. Be order of the Directors, Alex. Goldie, Clerk. [On adjacent page:] Edinburgh, 19, Duke Street, 11th January 1826. Sir, I am desired, by the Directors of the Edinburgh and Leith Water Company, to send you the accompanying Statement, and to request, that you will fill, into the enclosed Note, the number of Shares which you wish to take, and return the same to me. I am, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, Alex. Goldie, Clerk. [&] At a General Meeting of the Subscribers to the Edinburgh and Leith Water Company, held at Edinburgh, on the 29th June 1825, it was moved by Thomas Kinnear, Esq. Bank, and seconded by Roger Aytoun, Esq. W.S. that a Remit be made to the Directors to prepare a Report of their proceedings, for the purpose of being circulated, and taken into consideration at an adjourned Meeting of the Company; and which motion was unanimously agreed to, and a Report was directed to be prepared accordingly. [A seven page report follows.]
[1825.]
2 Items: A three-sided statement detailing the Bill. 228 x 184mm. 9 x 7¼"; [&] a seven-sided report of notes taking at the meeting. 342 x 215mm. 13½ x 8½".
A report and bill for the interim Edinburgh and Leith Water Company proposing the construction of a water supply. In 1846, several years after this proposal, the council unanimously agreed to petition Parliament for the formation of a public water supply company in order to ensure an adequate supply of water to the inhabitants. The situation was so bad that people were talking about water famine. During 1850 the first water pipes were laid not by a new water company as the council had initially wanted, but by the Edinburgh Water Company. The first water began to flow in January of 1847.

Jérome Lelande (1732-1807) a French astronomer who spent his life working on planetary theory. In 1795 his staff recorded the position of Neptune but failed to recognise it as a planet. When this was discovered in his papers in 1847 (the year after the planet was first noted) the observations were used to calculate the planet's orbit. In 1801 he endowed the Lalande Prize, administered by the French Academy of Sciences, for advances in astronomy. The portrait was published in 'Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden' (Universal Geographical Ephemerides (i.e. encyclopedia)) by Friedrich Bertuch et al.
