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.).

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

Tegg's Caricatures N.o32 Military tactics for Continental service, a hint to corpulent officers.
[William Heath]
[Pub'd Sept 1810 by Thos Tegg 111 Cheapside]
Hand-coloured etching, 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"), with margins. Paper slightly toned. Tears to edges of margins.
A satirical depiction of the British army in Spain shows overweight soldiers, exhausted after retreating from the French. Wellington (1769-1852) remarks to a particularly portly officer, “All Pod,” surprised at his survival. The officer, echoing Falstaff from Henry IV, replies that discretion is the better part of valour, and he preserved his life by taking “an Hour’s Law”, a head start like that granted to game in a hunt.
