The Battle of Rosbach, in Saxony, fought on the 5th of November 1757, between the Prussian Army, commanded by the King, and the combined Army of Imperialists and French, commanded by the Prince of Saxe Hilburghausen and the Prince of Soubise. His Prussian Majesty marched against the comfined Army on the 27th of October, and the two Armies met near the Village of Rosbach, between Mersebury and Freyburg, on the 5th November, The combined Army consisted of 60,000 men and the Pussians were only 25,000. The Prussians gained the rising Grounds, and began the Attack about half an Hour after Two in the Afternoon. The Prussian Cavalry soon entirely routed that of the Enemy whose Infantry was then attacked and defeated by that of the Purssians. The Battle lasted about an Hour and half, and the combined Army fled on all sides before five, The Fugitives were favoured by the Night, which gave them an Opportunity of retiring towards Freyburg, and afterwards over the Unstrut to Erfert, where they were pursued till the 9th The combined Army had 3000 Men killed on the Field of Battle, and upwards of 6000 were taken Prisoners, amoung whom were 8 French generals and 250 Officers of Different Ranks: they also lost 63 Cannon, 15 Standards, 7 Paiof Colours, and 300 Baggage Waggons. The Prussians had only 100 Men killed, and 300 wounded.~Posterity will scarce credit this Victory, whereby Savony was continued in the Possession of his Prussian Majesty, who then marched into Silesia and defeated Prince Charles of Lorrain at Neumark, on the 5th of December, which gave the King the entire Possession of Silesia.

The Battle of Rossbach (November 5, 1757) took place during the Seven Years' War (1756 - 1763) near the village of Rossbach, then in Prussian Saxony. Frederick the Great defeated the allied armies of France and the Holy Roman/Austrian Empire. This battle is considered one of his greatest masterpieces due to his element of complete surprise and destroying an enemy army with negligible casualties.

A follow on from the riot that began at temple bar; numerous merchants, bankers, and others, set out from the City, to present an address, opposing Wilkes, to the King at St James's, but on arriving they were confronted by a threatening mob who closed the gates by force, and thus prevented the deputation from proceeding. Some more determined opponents to Wilkes managed to get through to the Palace and present their address, but not without difficulty and it was with this that the palace had to call out the troops.

The Battle of the Nile (or Aboukir Bay), fought between the British and French navies on the Mediterranean Coast off Egypt from 1-3 August 1798, which resulted in a decisive victory for the British under the command of Lord Nelson. This print shows the decisive moment when the French flagship 'Orient' (in the centre of the image) caught fire. The British, observing this, directed their cannon fire into the blaze, spreading the flames and preventing French efforts to extinguish the fire. The other ships seen here, both French and British, then moved away from the 'Orient' in anticipation of the huge explosion which took place once the fire reached the ship's magazines. Not in Parker.

Henry Edward Kendall junior (1805-85) was a pupil of his father of the same name, who designed hospitals and workhouses and lived to be 98. Before the son went into independent practice, the two worked together and both were founder-members of what became the RIBA. He designed some large country houses, including one for the exiled Empress Eugénie at Farnborough, Hampshire, as well as parsonages, schools (on which he produced a book of designs) and churches. Among these was the chapel of the County Lunatic Asylum, later St Francis Mental Hospital, near Haywards Heath. He was District Surveyor for Hampstead from 1844 and in his final years was assisted by his nephew, Frederick Mew.
