Published for the first edition of Sir Henry Chauncy's (1632 - 1719) Historical Antiquities of Hertfordshire 1700. Berkhamsted Place was erected c.1580 by Sir Edward Carey, the keeper of the Jewels to Queen Elizabeth I, using stones removed from Berkhamsted Castle. It was bought by Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales (1594 - 1612) in 1612 and when he died later that year was passed to his brother Charles later crowned Charles I (1600 -1649). The house then changed hands a few times in the turbulent times of the English Civil War and its aftermath inluding the Murray family. In 1660 the lease of Berkhamsted was taken on by the Lord Treasurer, Jerome Weston, 2nd Earl of Portland (1605-1663) however a fire broke out and parts of the house were completely destroyed. Reconstruction was hastily commenced, probably financed by John Sayer who took ownership of the house shortly after it was rebuilt. The Sayer family remained in residence at Berkhamsted Place until 1716, when they sold the lease to William Atwell. The House was demolished in 1967

Reverend Albert Barnes (1798-1870) was born in New York and attended Hamilton College and graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1823. Two years later he was ordained paster of the Presbyterian church in Morristown, New Jersey. However from 1830 until 1867 he was pastor of the first Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia where he later resigned and was made pastor emeritus. He advocated the abolition of slavery and worked actively to promote Sunday-school. He later faced trial and was acquitted, but his acusers had him suspended from the ministry, but he was again acquitted in 1836. He was accused of preaching that man had free will to accept or deny the Gospel, and thus broke from strict Calvinism.

A Barouche with Ackermann's Patent Moveable Axles.
Drawn by C. Blunt. Engraved by S. Mita[missing].
Published Jany. 1 1820 at R. Ackermann's, 101 Strand, London.
Hand coloured engraving, sheet 145 x 240mm. 5¾ x 9½". Sheet trimmed.
A barouche was a four-wheeled, shallow carriage with two double seats inside, arranged vis-à-vis, so that the sitters on the front seat faced those on the back seat. It had a soft collapsible half-hood folding like a bellows over the back seat and a high outside box seat in front for the driver. It was used principally for leisure driving in the summer. Numbered 'Plate 3, Vol. IX' upper right, for Rudolph Ackermann's 'Repository of Arts' periodical, published from 1809-1829. The formal title of the publication was "Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufactures, Fashions, and Politics", and it discussed and illustrated day to day life, and influenced English taste in fashion, architecture and literature. Ackermann's ingenuity and enterprise were not directed to fine art matters alone. His father had been a coach-builder and harness-maker in Germany and his early years in London were engaged in making designs for many of the principal coach-builders. The preparation of Lord Nelson's funeral car (1805) was entrusted to his skill. Between 1818 and 1820 he was occupied with a patent for movable carriage axles.
