Reedsdale and Sidmouth both gave their last speeches earlier in 1829. Lithograph by John Doyle (1797-1868), cartoonist and painter who went by the pseudonym 'H.B.' Doyle began making political prints in 1827 and over a period of 22 years usually issued one a month during parliamentary seasons. While his prosperity enabled Doyle to move to a fashionable address overlooking Hyde Park which drew him into a circle of prestigious writers and artists including Wordsworth, Dickens and Coleridge, Doyle preserved his anonymity as 'H.B.' until 1843, when he revealed himself to Sir Robert Peel in a seventeen page letter justifying his motives and principles as a cartoonist.

From Johan Nieuhof's 'Dutch Embassy to the khan of Tartary Shunzhi, the present Emperor of China', 1668, which documented Dutch trade missions sponsored by the VOC or Dutch East India Company.

Niehof's books were highly popular and swiftly translated into several foreign-language editions, including an English publication by John Ogilby.

Teaching the Unknown Tongue. A Scene in King Street St James's_
CJG [Grant.]
Pubd by Tregear 123 Cheapside April 1st 1832.
Lithograph, foreground outline excised for pasting into scrapbook. 305 x 210mm. 12 x 8¼". Very cut.
Satirical print with at its centre an evangelical preacher, probably Edward Irving (1792 - 1834), and a Mrs. Hall on the dais embracing, with other unlikely couples also canoodling below. Characters include a black man in servant's livery kissing a fat lady, and a gentleman with spectacles balanced on a bulbous nose sharing his order of service lovingly with another woman, who rests her head on his shoulder. A fantastic image. Irving was a popular preacher whose success is evidence of the general revival of religious feeling which began in the wake of the French Revolution. He started his career as a Church of Scotland Minister in Edinburgh but moved to London in 1822. He became minister at the Caledonian Church in Covent Garden and soon began to draw large crowds - including members of fashionable society - to his three hour sermons. Numerous satirical attacks on his charismatic preaching and extravagant theories appeared, but they only served to advance his reputation. He was prosecuted for heresy in 1832 and excommunicated from the Church of Scotland in 1833. By Charles Jameson Grant (1830 - 1852; fl.).

[Charles Williams.]
Pubd Jun 11th 1798 by SW Fores 50 Piccadilly. Folios of Caracatures lent out for the Evening.
Hand-coloured etching. 248 x 400mm (9¾ x 15¾"). Repaired hole in centre of image. Cut.
Lord Edward Fitzgerald (Fox's first cousin), a leader of the United Irishmen, remained in hiding after the arrest of the other members of the 'Directory' on 12 Mar. Lord Clare at least was anxious for his escape, but he remained in or near Dublin continuing preparations for a rising on 23 May. £1,000 reward was therefore offered and he was arrested on 19 May, after a desperate struggle, in which he was wounded, dying of wounds on 4 June. Fitzpatrick, 'Secret Service under Pitt'; Erskine, noted for his egotism, mourns that he shall not defend him in a treason trial. Fox and other members of the Opposition had given evidence at Maidstone on 22 May in favour of Arthur O'Connor. Foxites surround an oblong table, the left end of which is cut off by the margin of the design. Fox only is standing, the central figure on the farther side of the table. All weep copiously, tears splash to the table and stream from it to the ground, where empty bottles float. On the table are decanters of 'French Wine'. Fox, with Erskine on his right, Bedford on his left, gazes mournfully to the right, his hands clasped. Erskine, his hands also clasped; Bedford holds a handkerchief to his eye and looks up at Fox. Sheridan sits at the end of the table (right), on which his elbows rest, gazing up at Fox. On the extreme right Grey (?) stands in the water, stooping to bale it with a bucket. On the nearer side of the table (left) are Norfolk and Tierney. The former turns in profile to the right towards Tierney, both fists clenched; Tierney turns his back on the table on which his left arm rests; he clenches his right fist. From his pocket projects a newspaper: 'Courier Good News from Ir[eland] the Kings Forces defeated in three different Actions'. Behind and between them sits Lauderdale in profile to the right
