The Last Outinian Lecture for this season, (Which will contain History of the Society.) Mr. Richardson, Who was recently at Weymouth, with a view to read these fashionable Lectures, which have now several Years retained, and still retain, their attraction in the Metropolis, has been unable to defer a return to Town, which unexpected business compelled. For this reason, and because of the attendance at some of his late Lectures here has been unequal to what he is accustomed to meet with, a superior Member of the Society has resolved to volunteer his Services, in hopes of preventing loss and inconvenience from a visit to this distant place. In consequence this Gentleman proposes to shew the style of these Lectures by reading at least One, which he will do at the Crown Inn, Weymouth, On Saturday next, the 1st of December, As soon as possible after 2 o'clock in the Afternoon.

A fashionable crowd is lined up outside the house to attend a lecture by the Outinian Society. Originally named the 'Matrimonial Society', the group was founded by John Penn in 1817 with the aim of improving the domestic lives of married individuals. Its creation followed the publication of Penn's poem Marriage in the Monthly Magazine during the summer of 1815. According to the inscription, the Outinian Society held lectures "every Saturday throughout the [summer] season" of 1818. Although the society was composed of men, "marriageable ladies" were invited to attend these lectures, where they had the chance to meet and socialize with bachelors over tea. Additional lectures were held at Penn's Stoke Park estate and on tour across the country, until the society dissolved in 1825.

Engraving, with large margins, rare. Plate 120 x 70mm. 4¾ x 2¾".
Portrait of Sir Thomas Overbury (1571-1613), courtier and author, aged 32, half-length, with lace ruff, in an oval. The image is taken from a portrait in oils attributed to Marcus Gheeraerts (Oxford, Bodleian Library). Overbury was close to Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset, and when the possibility of a marriage between Carr and Frances Howard arose, Overbury made clear his opposition to the match. Having acquired a reputation as a troublemaker Overbury was offered an ambassadorship overseas to remove him from court, which he declined against the king's wishes. As a result he was imprisoned in the Tower, where he died some months later. It has been thought, although not conclusively proven, that Frances Howard attempted to have him poisoned.

Overschie was a village in The Netherlands, and is now a neighbourhood of Rotterdam. In the foreground a ferry crosses the river, carrying a horse and three figures. By Paulus van Liender (1731 - 1797); this print was also published in Paris by Pierre François Basan, but this appears to be an Amsterdam issue. "Unlike many Dutch artists of the 1700s who remained attached to a style they developed at the outset of their career, Paulus van Liender's art continually evolved. His earliest works were traditional topographic views but by the 1780s he was producing distinctive forest interiors. " Getty.

George Perfect Harding (died 1853) was a portrait-painter specialising in miniatures, often copying old prints as here. The date of 1800 suggests this is an early work: he first exhibited at the Royal academy in 1802.

Anthony Wood (1632-95), an antiquary, first published this book, the first history of the University in 1674, as 'Hist. and Antiq. of the Universitie of Oxon', although the text was in Latin. The following year David Loggan's 'Oxonia Illustrata' was issued, designed to complement Wood's history, with instructions on where to insert the plates in his text. This edition was based on a revised manuscript that Wood was still working on when he died, which he left to the Bodleian Library. Gutch published an appendix in 1790 and 'The History and Antiquities of the University of Oxford, in two books' (actually three volumes) in 1792 & 1796. John Gutch (1746-1831) held the post of Chaplain of All Souls for over sixty years, and was also made college librarian (1771), chaplain of Corpus Christi College (1778) and Registrar of the University (1797).
