Scipio refused this and returned her to them, asking only that they be friends to Rome. When they offered the ransom as a present, he accepted it, only to return it immediately as a wedding gift from himself. Allucius then brought over his tribe to support the Roman armies in gratitude.

[Scole Inn, Diss.] Schoale Inn.
Joshua Kirby Delin.t. Jn.o Fessey Sculp.
Publish'd by H. Martin according to act of Parliament May 1. 1740.
Rare engraving. Sheet 355 x 475mm (14 x 18¾"). Trimmed within plate, tear through publication line, laid on card.
The exterior of Scole Inn, with its massive sign spanning the road outside. Once called the White Hart, it was built in 1655 to serve this coaching traffic. Both Charles II and Admiral Nelson slept there, and highwayman John Belcher is said to have ridden his horse up the stairs at the inn to evade the law. The hunting-themed sign was also constructed in 1655, costing £1057 to make and erect, with over twenty-five carved figures, including Diana and Cerberus, Neptune and a deer-headed man. It was removed in the early 19th century, as it cost too much to maintain.

Rev.d W.m Scoresby.
J.S. Colman del.t 1824.
Rare lithograph. Printed area 170 x 170mm (6¾ x 6¾"), wide margins.
A portrait in profile of English Arctic explorer, scientist and clergyman, William Scoresby (1789-1857). Working for his father's whaling business, Scoresby began the study of the meteorology and natural history of the polar regions, publishing sixty papers in the Royal Society list, including 'On the Anomaly in the Variation of the Magnetic Needle'. In 1822 Scoresby surveyed and charted with remarkable accuracy 400 miles of the east coast of Greenland. He left whaling in 1823, aged 33, to train for the ministry, but continued to study aspects of science, including optics. In 1850 he published a work calling for a search for the Franklin expedition.

William Scoresby Jun.r Esq.r. F.R.S.E. &c.
A. Mosses del. E. Smith sculp.
[Published by Henry Fisher, Caxton Liverpool, 1821.]
Engraving. Sheet size: 163 x 100mm (6½ x 4"). Trimmed inside platemark.
A half length portrait of English Arctic explorer, scientist and clergyman, William Scoresby (1789 - 1857). His father, William Scoresby Senior (1760-1829), made a fortune in the Arctic whale fishery and was also the inventor of the barrel crow's nest. In his voyage of 1807, Scoresby Jnr. began the study of the meteorology and natural history of the polar regions and in 1811, his father resigned to him the command of the 'Resolution'. Scoresby gained election as a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and of his sixty papers published in the Royal Society list, many were on the study of magnetism, which he used to improve the accuracy of the ship's compass. However his observations extended into other departments, including researches on optics and, with James Joule, comparing electromagnetic, thermal, and organic power sources. William junior finished whaling in 1823, aged 33, to train for the ministry.

Scotch Amusements.
[Oxford Magazine] [n.d. c.1768]
Engraving, plate 110 x 180mm (4½ x 7"), with large margins. Time stained.
Satire on the Scots and their purported pleasures, focusing on John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713-1792), his supposed relationship with Augusta, Princess of Wales (1719-1772), and his suggested influence on behalf of his compatriots. At the top, a Scotsman playing "Through the Wood Laddy through the Wood Laddy" on his bagpipes is heard as Bute and the Princess share an embrace on a bench in a park in Kew Gardens, which can be recognized by the pagoda in the distance. His foot is resting on the neck of a prone Britannia. A large man sitting in an armchair in the foreground, wearing a tartan waistcoat and a Scots bonnet, is reading a large book that is open to "History of ye Wars of 1715 & 1745" (i.e., the Jacobite risings). He quotes Thucydides as saying, "History is Philosophy teaching by Example." Standing next to him on a pedestal with the words "Pride" and "Ingratitude" written on it, a Scotsman rubs his back and scratches his hand against a post topped with a satyr's head that has the words "This is one of the many Posts erected for the benefit of the Thanes friends" hanging from it. Standing on the pedestal's step, a second Scot—possibly meant to be William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield (1705-1793)-says, "awa to the deel with this feulish bauble of Liberty I'll stick my Dirk in his Wem," while stabbing a picture of the liberty staff and cap. Beside him, a woman dressed in tartan blows on the fire beneath a large cauldron bearing the letters "Scots Haggis Kettle," which is filled with simmering sheep heads. A Scot is seen spooning broth from a bowl behind the cauldron and remarks, "These are brae Sheepsheads & make Muckle gued broth." "And they were all English Mens heads I woud no grudge a louse," remarks a second Scot who is seated next to the cauldron and scratches his head. An allusion to the shooting of William Allen (c.1750-1768) by Scottish guards during the St. George's Fields riots on May 10, 1768, can be seen in the background on the right, where two soldiers fire at a man who is falling back.
