A third son, Louis, remained in the business.

The Merchant Ships made the best of their way with one of the Frigates, whilst the Florissaux of 74 Guns, 700 men, with two Frigates carrying 60 Guns and 600 men lay to in the line of Battle ahead. The Buckingham alone bore down upon the Three, attached and (after an obstinate engagement) defeated them on the 3rd of November, 1758. Captain Tyrell afterwards became an Admiral.' Etching by Thomas Worlidge (1700-66), known as 'the English Rembrandt'. Worlidge was a pupil of Alessandro Maria Grimaldi, whose daughter Arabella he married.

Ticket for a concert conducted by Alberto Randegger (1832-1911), conductor, teacher and composer of German and Italian descent, to be held at the Royal Academy of Music under the auspices of the music society of University College London. Randegger did much to encourage a following for Wagner's early operas, and those of Verdi (whom he had known in Italy). His greatest influence, however, was as a singing teacher, through his teaching at the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music, and his 1893 textbook 'Singing'.

[19 plates illustrating Alexander Murdoch Mackay's expedition to Uganda.]
Thomas O'Neill del.t. Vincent Brooks, Day & Son, Lith.
[n.d, c.1880.]
19 Lithographic plates, rare including one double-size. Largest sheet 145 x 445mm, 6 x 17½"; the rest c. 145 x 220mm, 6 x 8½". Tears and slight toning to a few plates.
Illustrations to a journey of the Presbyterian missionary Alexander Murdoch Mackay (1849-90) to Zanzibar and Buganda in southern Uganda from 1876. Having heard from Henry Morton Stanley that Muteesa I, the Kabaka of Buganda was willing to receive missionaries, the Church Missionary Society sponsored the expedition. However Muteesa was playing a diplomatic game: by feigning interest and winning the support of the missionaries he managed to avoid colonisation of Uganda, getting protectorate status instead. In the preface of 'Alexander MacKay: Hero of Uganda', the Rev. T.C. Wilson wrote that two members of the expedition 'Lieutenant Smith and Mr. O'Neill had been murdered in December 1877'; whether it was Thomas O'Neill, the artist of these prints, is unclear.
