[n.d., c.1800.]

Profile portrait in oval of Scottish physicist and mathematician John Robison (1739-1805). Although Robison worked with James Watt on an early steam car, he did not contribute to the successful Watt steam engine of 1776. He did invent the siren and was a member of the Board of Longitude, testing John Harrison's marine chronometer on a voyage to Jamaica. Later in life he became a conspiracy theorist, publishing ''Proofs of a Conspiracy against all the Religions and Governments of Europe, carried on in the secret meetings of Freemasons, Illuminati and Reading Societies''.
