John Locke (1632 - 1704) was an influential English philosopher and social contract theorist. He developed an alternative to the Hobbesian state of nature and argued a government could only be legitimate if it received the consent of the governed and protected the natural rights of life, liberty, and estate. If such consent was not given, argued Locke, citizens had a right of rebellion. Locke is one of the few major philosophers who became a minister of the government. Locke's ideas had an enormous influence on the development of political philosophy, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential Enlightenment thinkers and contributors to liberal theory. His writings influenced the American revolutionaries as reflected in the American Declaration of Independence.

Portrait of the philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) taken from a bust at the Royal Palace at Kew, now the Royal Botanic Gardens. In 1730 Queen Caroline commissioned a 'hermitage', decorated with a series of five marble busts by the English sculptor Michael Rysbrack to celebrate British philosphers: Locke, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Samuel Clarke and William Wollaston. Unfortunately the Hermitage no longer exists. Locke was a staunch supporter of the Williamite cause and the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which brought William III of Orange to the throne. Locke’s philosophy, particularly his ‘Two Treatises of Government’, provided the intellectual justification for the new constitutional order, asserting that government relies on the consent of the governed.

A group of villagers outside 'Sundial Cottage', George Stephenson's home at Killingworth Colliery, where he built his first steam locomotive, the 'Blücher', in 1814. A basic locomotive can be seen outside the cottage, and a more advanced model crosses the stone bridge in the far background, representing the North-Eastern Line to Scotland. The group is discussing Stephenson: one woman reads the 'London Journal', containing Stephenson's portrait and a man holds a 'Geordie' lamp, Stephenson's safety-lamp for miners. Derived from a diminutive form of the inventor's name, it is said that the name lead to Tyneside miners also being called Geordies.

The Celebrated Logan Rock near the Land's End in Cornwall.

Lithograph, sheet 345 x 470mm. 13½ x 18½". Horizontal crease.
The Logan Rock is an eighty ton granite boulder perched on the edge of a headland overlooking the Atlantic ocean one mile south of the Cornish village of Treen. It an example of a logan or rocking stone, being finely balanced due to the actions of weathering. The first plate from a set of six illustrating the events of 1824: in April Lieutenant Hugh Goldsmith (nephew of the famous poet Oliver Goldsmith) and ten or twelve of his crew of the cutter HMS Nimble rocked the huge granite boulder armed with bars and levers until it fell from its cliff-top perch. Goldsmith was apparently motivated to disprove the claim of Dr. Borlase, who wrote in 'Antiquities of Cornwall' in 1754 that "...the extremities of [the Rock's] base are at such a distance from each other, and so well secured by their nearness to the stone which it stretches itself upon, that it is morally impossible that any lever, or indeed force, however applied in a mechanical way, can remove it from its present situation". The displacement of the rock upset the local residents considerably, since Logan Rock had been used to draw tourists to the area. The Lords of the Admiralty were persuaded to lend Lieutenant Goldsmith the required apparatus for replacing it. The Admiralty sent thirteen capstans with blocks and chains from the dock yard at Plymouth, and contributed £25 towards expenses. After months of effort, at 4.20pm on Tuesday, the 2nd of November, 1824, in front of thousands of spectators and with the help of more than sixty men and block and tackle, the Logan Rock was finally repositioned and returned to "rocking condition". However, it apparently no longer vibrates or "logs" as easily as it did before the incident.

Plate 4 (numbered upper right) from a set of six illustrating the events of 1824: in April Lieutenant Hugh Goldsmith (nephew of the famous poet Oliver Goldsmith) and ten or twelve of his crew of the cutter HMS Nimble rocked the huge granite boulder armed with bars and levers until it fell from its cliff-top perch. Goldsmith was apparently motivated to disprove the claim of Dr. Borlase, who wrote in 'Antiquities of Cornwall' in 1754 that "...the extremities of [the Rock's] base are at such a distance from each other, and so well secured by their nearness to the stone which it stretches itself upon, that it is morally impossible that any lever, or indeed force, however applied in a mechanical way, can remove it from its present situation". The displacement of the rock upset the local residents considerably, since Logan Rock had been used to draw tourists to the area. The Lords of the Admiralty were persuaded to lend Lieutenant Goldsmith the required apparatus for replacing it. The Admiralty sent thirteen capstans with blocks and chains from the dock yard at Plymouth, and contributed £25 towards expenses. After months of effort, at 4.20pm on Tuesday, the 2nd of November, 1824, in front of thousands of spectators and with the help of more than sixty men and block and tackle, the Logan Rock was finally repositioned and returned to "rocking condition". However, it apparently no longer vibrates or "logs" as easily as it did before the incident.

Syllogistic disputants arguing over whether or not the Parisians are birds? It is a pun on Gallus a cock or a Frenchman? Two scholars in caps and gowns, leaning out dangerously from opposing lecturns, arguing angrily and gesturing to emphasise their points, their companions holding their collars to prevent them from falling out. Both companions hold bottles, one swigging from theirs.

Bouvier Lithog.
This Print forms one of the Series of Greek Portaits (4.th Part) now in course of publication in London, by A. Friedel & Sold by the principal Book & Printsellers in Town & Country. June 1826.
Coloured lithograph. Sheet 486 x 350mm.
Portrait of Ionnis Logothetis, who represented Eastern Mainland Greece at the First National Assembly of 1821 during the Greek War of Independence. Provenance: Bracebridge Archive. Selina Bracebridge, maiden-name Mills, was a pupil of Samuel Prout. Her husband was the Bracebridge celebrated in Washington Irving’s Bracebridge Hall. From the mid-1830s, they settled for some years in Athens. He owned large properties in Karea and Euboca, the latter of which he sold to the Noel family; and they both lived in a large house on Adrianou Street. 1850, saw the publication of Mr. Bracebridge’s 'Letter on the Affairs of Greece'. Bracebridge was Florence Nightingale’s uncle. Their time spent in Athens and the Levant is not clear; however it seems likely that they were settled in Athens from about 1835 to 1839, with frequent trips to England. Similarly, it is most likely that on their return back to the UK, they continued to own property in Greece. A painting by Selina is in the possession of the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

Though the Carthusians in their early centuries were known for their seclusion and asceticism and the plainness of their architecture, the Certosa is renowned for the exuberance of its architecture, in both the Gothic and Renaissance styles, and for its collection of artworks which are particularly representative of the region. After Philipe Benoist (1813-1880), with titles in French and Italian.
