The Spiritual Barometer A scale of the progress of Sin and Grace. Glory. Indifference. Perdition.
from Miss Rowling - Hampton Wick 4/3/[18]57
Ink mss., with pen and ink 'barometer' diagram to left, ink ruled border; sheet 225 x 150mm. 9 x 6". Fold creases.
A young lady appears to have copied one of the many popular morality prints of the time on the theme of degrees of progress of sin and piety. A note to the user at bottom advises 'The Reader must peruse this from the middle upwards or downwards until he perceive the degree at which he now stands, and let him be careful of the first advances of sin...' 'Family Worship only on Sunday Evenings' to 'Disease and Death' is but a few degrees of descent from Indifference.

Lith de Balathier, Rue Jacob, 48. [n.d. c.1833]
Rare lithograph, sheet 330 x 240mm (13 x 9½"). Repaired tears. Slight surface dirt.
A man ice skates rightward, with his hands tucked into his pockets, wearing Scottish plaid trousers, a scarf covering the lower portion of his face and he sports a hat pulled down over his ears. Another man, likewise skating and puffing on his pipe, is behind him on the left. Paul Gavarni (1804-66) was a lithographer, caricaturist, engraver, and wood draughtsman. studied mechanical drawing in 1818 at the Paris Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers. He started the "Journal des Gens du Monde" in 1833, but it failed and he was forced to enter prison because he was unable to pay his debtors. Following his release from prison, Gavarni began to sketch theatrical costumes as well as some drawings for wood engravings used in book illustrations. While employed by Philipon's "Le Charivari" in 1837, he designed the female equivalent of Daumier's "Robert Macaire." This prompted him to concentrate on observing the feminine aspects of Parisian society, which resulted in the hugely popular series "Les Lorettes."

A three-quarters length portrait of Andrew Spottiswoode (1787 - 1866), standing facing front, with arms folded, in front of a landscape, to the left. Spottiswoode was a member of Parliament for Saltash from 1826 to 1830 and then Colchester from 1830 to 1831. As a member of Parliament for Saltash, he presented a number of petitions, notably an Edinburgh petition for repeal of the corn laws, 20 Feb. 1827, and a Saltash petition for the abolition of slavery, 23 June 1828. Away from politics, Spottiswoode became a junior partner in the printing firm of Eyre & Spottiswoode, a name well known to collectors of 19th century books, and in January 1830, he received a 30-year patent as King's Printer, an office he held until 1855. Spottiswoode died in February 1866 at his London home at 12 James Street, Buckingham Gate.

John Spottiswoode (1565-1639), archbishop of St Andrews and historian. Made Lord Chancellor of Scotland by Charles I in 1634, Spottiswoode was subsequently forced to seek exile in England after attempting to implement controversial liturgical alterations in Scotland (these led to the Bishops' Wars of 1639-45). Frontispiece to the 1668 edition of Spottiswoode's 'The History of the Church of Scotland', completed shortly before his death but not published until 1655, during the Cromwellian interregnum. Largely focused on the reign of James I, who commissioned the work, the 'History' was unquestionably an apologia for the royalist and episcopal cause in Scotland. Etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England, and whose patron was Thomas Howard, earl of Arundel, who as one of Charles I's most trusted advisors led the king's forces against Scotland in 1639.

Rare mezzotint, sheet 260 x 180mm (10¼ x 7"). Trimmed; tipped into album sheet.
Sir Edward Spragge (c.1629-73), naval officer. In his early career Spragge is said to have spent time as a slave in Algiers, and after marrying the daughter of the governor of Dunkirk he commanded a French privateer, which was badly damaged by an English frigate. He then joined the navy and was knighted for his gallantry in the battle of Lowestoft in the Second Anglo-Dutch War. He was made a scapegoat for the 'division of the fleet' which precipitated the Four Days' Battle during the same conflict, but was exonerated following a parliamentary enquiry. Sprague subsequently served as ambassador to the Spanish Netherlands, and as admiral of a fleet fighting the Algerian corsairs (he won a spectacular victory over the Algerian fleet at Bugia Bay in 1671, which led to the signing of a peace treaty). In the Third Anglo-Dutch War he was made admiral of the blue after distinguishing himself in the battle of Sole Bay, but was drowned in the battle of Texel following a private battle with Cornelis Tromp. He was buried at Westminster Abbey.
