The Morning Visit DEAN. My Lord I hope your goodness will excuse / This early Visit, since my only views / Are center'd in the glory of your House, / And now have brought a trifle --- for your Spouse / Of which I beg her kind acceptance ------- then Rank me my Lord, amongst the happiest men. / LORD. My rev'rend Dean, I'm glad to see you now, / Early or late; or any time, I vow: / What news abroad, my rev'rend Dean, what news? / Somethings behind - have you no trifling views In which my Int'rest can the least avail-------? / DEAN. Indeed, my Lord, there is a flying tale / That my good Lord of B------h [Bath] declines so fast With Age, and Gout, this fit will be his last. / LORD. I know he 's old and cannot long be here: / But, revd Dean, you know -- what 'tis a Year: / 'Twill gain me Friends----------- / DEAN.-------My Lord I know that's true, / And all the Int'rest in my pow'rs your due / In future times the same shall me control / My Friends------Estate-------my Body, and my-------[soul], / LORD. 'Tis well my rev'rend Dean - all's very right; / On these conditions you're put down to night, / You shall succeed------- / DEAN.-------All grateful thanks are due; / My gratitude shall shine, my Lord -: my Lord adieu /

Etching, 345 x 225mm. 13½ x 9". Laid on conservation backing, with repaired tears.
'42' inscribed upper right, apparently in some series. It illustrates a dialogue in verse engraved below the design between 'Lord' and 'Dean'. The 'lord , writing at a table, receives the visit of a dean, who bows, hat in hand, and proffers a money-bag, asking for a bishopric.. On the floor in the foreground are documents partly cut and destroyed: "CHARTER COMMUNIUM Johannes del Gratia" and "LIBERTATUM give [?sive] MAGNA CHARTA". From a nearly closed box hang other documents also in bad repair: "HABE . . CORPUS Rex Magna B" ; "Bill of Rights"; "nilla [sic] Ransom". In an open chest are neatly rolled documents, evidently recent patent rolls, or grants, one of which shows the words "and Grant beloved". The document on which the Minister is writing is inscribed "List of persons proper for Pensions Rever[si]ons and Places for life &c. for his M-----y's private inspection", the first name on the list being John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute. The Dean here depicted who is promised the 'first bishoprick', is Josiah Tucker, dean of Gloucester. He was reputed a ministerial propagandist. The peer resembles portraits of Lord Rochford, one of the Secretaries of State.

[Mortimer's Etchings of Figures] To Jos.a Reynolds President of the Royal Academy, these Etchings are dedicated by his humble Serv.t J.H. Mortimer.
Published Dec.r 8th 1778 by J. Mortimer Norfolk Street Strand [but Thomas Palser, 1812?].
Folio, 370 x 275mm (14½ x 10¾"), original boards with printed title label; etched title and 16 plates, some watermarked '1811'. A little wear to covers, plates generally clean.
A posthumous edition of Mortimer's 'Fifteen Etchings', a collection of romantic scenes inspired by Mortimer's hero, the painter Salvador Rosa (a portrait of whom is one of the plates); the subjects include banditti, allegorical figures of Comedy and Tragedy, a portrait of painter Gerard Lairesse and six fantastical plates of sea-monsters. Two of the monsters are additional plates, by Mortimer but dated 1780, added to the work by Mortimer's widow Jane. The series was dedicated to the President of the Royal Academy the year that Mortimer first exhibited there (rather than at the Society of Artists) and, shortly after, elected A.R.A. Mortimer died in 1779, aged only 38. His widow republished the plates in 1780, with the addition of two more plates of sea-monsters ('Revengeful' and 'Sleeping', dated 1780 but both drawn and engraved by Mortimer). Christie's held a sale of Jane Mortimer's property in 1808, at which Thomas Palser presumably bought the printing plates: he published 'Mortimer's works: a collection of fifty historical designs' (including this series) in 1812, with a second edition in 1816

Thomas Mortimer (1730-1810) was a voluminous writer, chiefly of biographies and economic subjects. He was educated at Harrow and mastered French and Italian to improve his studies of modern history. In 1762 he was made English vice-counsul for the Austrian Netherlands, a post he retained for six years. Mortimer's largest work was The British Plutarch, also owned in a first edition by Belmont Abbey, which details in six volumes the lives of eminent Britons from the time of Henry VIII to George II. He also authoured a General Commercial Dictionary and translated Gautier's Life and Exploits of Pyrrhus from the French. This three volume History seems likely to have been his proudest project, given his known preference for the subject and the ambitious title-page dedication to Queen Charlotte.

Dr Richard Morton (1637-1698) was an English physician; frontispiece to Morton's "Pyretologia, seu Exercitationes de morbis universalibus". He was the first to state that tubercles were always present in the tuberculosis disease of the lungs. The paper, to which this portrait acts as frontis to, is significant partly due to the fact that the disease received little study by other doctors of the time despite it being a major cause of death, accounting for over 18% of all deaths in the City of London in 1700; it was is significant in that it contains the first recognised medical descriptions of the wasting condition now known as Anorexia Nervosa.

A view of the largest bell in the world, with a diameter of 6.6 metres (22 ft), although it has never been rung. The bell was cast in the Kremlin in 1735, with ornaments added after it has been raised from the 10-metre casting pit. However a fire broke out in the Kremlin, and the supports of the bell caught alight. Guards threw cold water over the bell causing eleven cracks, and a huge slab broke off, before the supports collapsed and the bell fell back into its pit, where it reamined until 1837. That year a French engineer, Auguste de Montferrand, raised it again, placing it on a stone pedestal, as depicted here.
