Rimorsi e Confessione.
[n.d. c.1848.]
Letterpress., 3 sheets, 387 x 247mm. 15¼ x 9¾". Some staining.
Rimorsi e Confessione, a conversation between the Church and the Italian public, following the riots of 1848. The church criticizes the way that the country allowed such riots to take place and the lack of compassion and lack of judgement and sense from the State. Particular criticism is against Francesco Saverio del Carretto (1777-1861) who was a minister of police for King Ferdinand II, but following the start of the Revolution in 1848, he saw no other choice than to escape, and he fled to France. The riots began following a fierce outbreak of cholera in Sicily; del Carretto authorised the arrest of 750 people, of which hundreds were sentenced to death. His escape also meant that he was banished from the courts and any ministerial business.

[French, c.1870.]
Steel engraving, image 155 x 250mm. 6 x 9¾". Chipped lower left.
French ships entering the harbour of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Battle of Rio de Janeiro was a raid in September 1711 on the port during the War of Spanish Succession by a French squadron under buccaneer René Duguay-Trouin. The Portuguese defenders, including the city's governor and an admiral of the fleet anchored there, were unable to put up effective resistance in spite of numerical advantages. Four Portuguese ships of the line were lost, and the city had to pay a ransom to avoid the destruction of its defences. For the 'Galerie historique de Versailles', numbered '346' above image.

[Illustrated music sheet] The Riot Night occasion'd by the Burning of the Meeting Houses.
[Anon., British, n.d., c.1740.]
Music sheet, hand-coloured etching above engraved lettering and music, watermarked laid paper; four watchmen surrounding a drunken man on the street at night. 320 x 195mm, 12½ x 7¾". Some slight creasing; left margin slightly tatty and chipped.
'XXIII' inscribed above image. Music and four verses beginning, "As tipling John was jogging on...", four other verses and a line of music 'for the flute' at bottom. The reference appears to be to the burning of Daniel Burgess's Presbyterian meeting house in Carey Street, Lincolns Inn, on 1 March 1710, and the song was first published at about that time. The BM attribute this version to George Bickham the Younger (c.1706 - 1771) on stylistic grounds.

Capt. Edw.d Riou.
From the Miniature by Shelley. Engraved by Ja.s Heath A.R.A.
[n.d., c.1800.]
Stipple, open letter proof. Sheet: 190 x 150mm (7½ x 6''). Trimmed. Crease in bottom left border.
A portrait of naval officer Edward Riou (1762-1801) who served as midshipman of Capt. James Cook's Third Voyage to Australia and received his command of the former frigate HMS Guardian transporting convicts to Australia. Attempting to replenish their fresh water supplies the ship Riou ordered the Guardian be sailed close to an iceberg, boats were sent out to gather the ice but when all had returned a fog descended hiding the iceberg from view. After careful sailing, using lookouts it seemed the ship had managed to avoid hitting the iceberg, however the ship was caught in a gust of wind and was driven into the wall of ice nearly sinking outright. After several attempts to stop the flooding into the damaged hull, most of the crew abandoned ship. Despite fully anticipating his death, Riou refused to leave his ship, and he and a few others were left to attempt the nearly impossible task of navigating the sinking ship several hundred leagues towards the Cape of Good Hope. After nine weeks at sea, and with continued labour and endurance, Riou successfully navigated his half-sunk ship back to port, saving the lives of those who had elected to remain with him. Riou negotiated the pardon of the few remaining convicts left on board.

Coloured etching. 225 x 150mm (8¾ x 6"), with large margins watermarked 'J Whatman 1824'. Spotting and soiling.
A gentle caricature portrait of a stout elderly man standing in profile to the left, holding a wallet and pencil. The BM suggests two identifications: 'Mr Ripley'; and Levy Barent Cohen (1740-1808, father-in-law of N. M. Rothschild), based on the title 'Mr Cohen' added for the Maclean edition of 1824. As Levy Barent Cohen died when Dighton was 13, this seems unlikely.

A uncaricatured Napoleon, holding three cannon balls in his hand, replies ''I deny that Doctor, my Pills are far more certain in thier operation & much quicker in their effect...''.
