The ruins of Baskerville House, belonging to John Ryland Esq. The crowd destroyed the home and drank the supplies of liquor which they found in the cellar. The Priestley Riots, the Birmingham Riots of 1791, targeted religious Dissenters, most notably the politically and theologically controversial Joseph Priestley. From "Views of the Ruins of the Principal Houses destroyed during the Riots at Birmingham. 1791." On the 14th of July, 1791, a party having met at an hotel to celebrate the anniversary of the French revolution, collected together as a mob, and proceeded for several days their devastations, setting fire to several meeting-houses and private mansions, but on the arrival of the military from Oxford and Hounslow, order was restored: at the ensuing assizes four of the ring-leaders were convicted, two of whom suffered the penalty of the law. Shortly after this occurrence barracks were erected on the Vauxhall-road, near the town, consisting of a range of handsome buildings, enclosing a spacious area for the exercise of cavalry, and a smaller for parades, a riding-school, a magazine, and an hospital.

[John Bastwick.] Dr Bastwick for writing a Booke against Popish Bishops was first fined 1000 and Committed Closs-prisoner in the Gatehouse [...]
W. Hollar fecit [1640s].
Etching, laid on album sheet; sheet 130 x 75mm (5 x 3"). Loss top right.
John Bastwick (1595?-1654), Puritan religious controversialist and pamphleteer. One of five bust portraits etched by Wenceslaus Hollar of writers punished for their opinions on the High Church policy of Laud. As recounted in the text here, in 1637 they were fined impossibly large sums, lost their ears, and sentenced to life imprisonment (although Bastwick, after a spell in Star Castle in the Isles of Scilly, was released in 1644). It was etched on the same plate as two of the other portraits; the copperplate, now cut, is in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Hollar (1607-77) was a Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England, from a Protestant background (although he later converted to Catholicism). Hollar's technical skill has ensured that his prints have always been keenly collected, and comprehensive collections of his work are institutions in London, Berlin and Prague.

John Bastwick (1593-1654) was an English Puritan physician and controversial writer. He left Emmanuel College, Cambridge by left the universiety without a degree. He travelled and served for a time as a soldier, probably in the Dutch army. He then studied medicine abroad, and took the degree of M.D. at Padua. In 1623 he returned to England, and settled in Colchester where he practises as a physician. As a writer he was a Latin stylist and began a career as controversial with Latin works. In 1634 he published in the Netherlands two anti-Catholic Latin treatises 'Elenchus Religionis Papisticae'. In 1637 he produced in English the four parts of his 'Letanie of Dr. John Bastwicke', in which bishops were denounced as the enemies of God and the tail of The Beast; he was summoned before the Star Chamber for his publication. He then was imprisoned until his release was ordered in 1640 by the Long Parliament. In 1642, as the First English Civil War broke out, Bastwick was a captain of the Leicester trained bands, and was taken prisoner by the royalists and sent prisoner to York.
