Watson's quick rise through the ranks is thought to be attributed from his uncle, Sir Charles Wager, who was first lord of the admiralty. Three-quarter length standing to the left, Watson is wearing naval uniform with large, decorated cuffs and a wig tied at the nape. He is seen holding a telescope diagonally before him with his right hand, with his left on his sword-hilt. The sea and a battery are in the background.

Sr. Wm. Watson, M.D.
Abbott pinx.t Thornthwaite sculp.
[n.d. c.1780.]
Engraving. 140 x 101mm. 5½ x 4".
Sir William Watson (1715-1787) was a British physician, botanist and natural scientist, best remembered for his work on electricty. He did much to introduce Linnaeus' system of classification into Britain and was one of the earliest experimenters on electricity, being to investigate the passage of electricity through a rarefied gas. His experiments in 1747 to determine the velocity of electricity are of particular interest. The general belief at that time was that electricity was faster than sound, but no accurate test had as yet been devised to measure the velocity of a current. Watson eventually decided not to pursue his electrical experiments concentrating instead upon his medical career, but he continued to support others in presenting evidence to the Royal Society and became a champion of Benajmin Franklin.

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.

Isaac Watts D.D.
[Anon, pub. W. Richardson 1803]
Mixed-method, sheet 145 x 100mm (5¾ x 4"). Trimmed inside platemark; laid on backing sheet.
Isaac Watts (1674-1748), Independent minister and writer. Watt's most lasting impact was as a poet (in which capacity his abilities were recognized by Samuel Johnson) and hymn-writer. 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. Watts' 'Divine Songs' were imitated and parodied by, amongst others, William Blake (''Songs of Innocence', 1789) and Lewis Carroll ('Alice in Wonderland', 1865).
