Statue of the Late James Watt.
F. Chantrey RA. Drawn by Permission, on Stone from the Marble Statue, by I. Zeitter.
[n.d., c.1820s.]
Lithograph on india paper, scarce, india 320 x 165mm. 12½ x 6½".
James Watt Memorial: In 1825 a very large white marble statue was erected in St Paul’s chapel in Westminster Abbey in memory of James Watt, civil engineer. It was made by Sir Francis Chantrey and cost over £6,000. The introduction of this colossal monument into the little chapel meant that the pedestal had to be divided into three pieces and was dragged in over the medieval tomb of Sir Lewis Robessart, destroying the ancient coffin lid. The statue only just went through the door and the floor gave way under its weight and disclosed “rows upon rows of gilded coffins” beneath. Had the area not been planked over the workmen and the statue would have fallen in. The epitaph was by Lord Brougham and read: “Not to perpetuate a name which must endure while the peaceful arts flourish, but to shew that mankind have learned to know those who best deserve their gratitude. The King, His Ministers, and many of the Nobles and Commoners of the Realm raised this monument to JAMES WATT who, directing the force of an original Genius, early exercised in philosophic research, to the improvement of the Steam Engine, enlarged the resources of his Country, increased the power of Man, and rose to an eminent place among the most illustrious followers of science and the real benefactors of the World. Born at Greenock MDCCXXXVI Died at Heathfield in Staffordshire MDCCCXIX.” In 1960 the statue was removed from the Abbey and a bronzed plaster bust was given in its place by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. The bust stands on the window ledge in the north choir aisle and a memorial stone was inserted in the floor of St Paul’s chapel to mark the site of the statue, with the same inscription as above carved on it. The Chantrey statue is now at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

The success of Watts' hymns and psalms was partly due to the Methodists, as John Wesley included many of them (with modifications) in his first hymnbook, in 1737.

Georgius Rodolphus Weckherlin. Natus 14 Sept: 1584 Denatus 13 Feb: 1653 AEt 69 Ano AEt. 50.
Mytins Pinxit. W. Faithorne fec.
Engraving, sheet 145 x 95mm (5¾ x 3¾"). Trimmed and glued to backing sheet.
George Rudolph Weckerlin (1584-1653), Latin Secretary to Charles I, after a portrait by Daniel Mijtens I (1590-1647), leading artist at the court of Charles I for much of the 1620s and 1630s. Engraving by William Faithorne (c.1620-91), printmaker who was apprenticed to the printseller William Peake, with whom he served in the royalist army during the civil war. At the Restoration Faithorne was appointed engraver in copper to the king, doubtless as reward for his devotion to the Stuart cause. The finest native British engraver born before the eighteenth century, Faithorne was highly esteemed by Pepys (who recorded many visits to his shop) while enthusiasts such as Horace Walpole ensured his posthumous reputation, which led to fine proofs of his work fetching extraordinary prices in the late Georgian period.

[Alexander Wedderburn] Lord Loughborough. Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain.
Dighton del.
London: Printed for Bowles & Carver / No. 69 St Paul's Church Yard [n.d., c.1780]
Mezzotint with small margins, rare, platemark 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"). Glued to backing sheet at corners.
Alexander Wedderburn, first Earl of Rosslyn (1733-1805), lord chancellor. Born in Scotland, Wedderburn struggled to establish himself in the 1750s (a time of English mistrust of ambitious Scots), but by 1764 he was made king's counsel. In 1780, around the time this print was made, he became chief justice of the court of common pleas and a peer as Baron Loughborough, going on to become lord chancellor in 1793 where he opposed catholic emancipation. While Wedderburn has not been viewed kindly by many historians, he was a valued public speaker and competent judge.
