Thomas Frye [1710-1762] was born in Edenderry, 

King's Country, Ireland. His grandfather was a 

dragoon officer who had fought at the battle of the 

Boyne on the side of William III. It is not known what 

education he had or when he came to London. He 

married around 1735 and had five children. Frye is 

typical of many of the artists who painted portrait 

miniatures in the early 18th century - he would not 

have identified himself primarily as a miniature 

painter, and did not learn the art as an apprentice under 

a master. Miniature painting, working in watercolour 

on ivory, was an established genteel pastime, and many 

artists felt able to teach themselves, and have it as 

simply as another string to their bow. Frye was 

involved in a wide variety of artistic activities, 

including oils, mezzotint prints, crayons (also called 

pastels), 'plumbago' portraits (small drawings in 

graphite on vellum), miniatures in watercolour on 

ivory, enamels and even oil 'miniatures' painted on 

metal. He was also a founder partner and first manager 

of the bow porcelain 'manufactory' in London. He 

devoted so much time to the factory that he became ill 

in 1759 and had to go to Wales for his health; 

unfortunately the factory did not survive his absence.

As a result of this activity miniatures on ivory by Frye 

are rare. Frye had some important commissions as a 

portrait painter in oil - Frederick , Prince of Wales sat 

to Frye for an oil portrait for the Saddlers' Company. 

He was also particularly famous for his striking 

mezzotints. Frye died of consumption in 1762.

A catechist is one who engages in such religious 

instruction. Typically, it is a lay minister trained in the 

art of catechesis. It might also be a pastor or priest, 

religious teacher, or other individuals in church roles 

(including a deacon, religious brother or sister, or nun). 

The primary catechists for children are their parent. 

Poem by Charles Lamb (London, 10 February 1775 – 

Edmonton, 27 December 1834), who was an English 

essayist of Welsh heritage, best known for his Essays 

of Elia and for the children's book Tales from 

Shakespeare, which he produced with his sister, Mary 

Lamb (1764–1847).

Henry Vincent (born 10 May 1813) was active in the 

formation in Britain of early Working Men's 

Associations, a popular Chartist leader, brilliant and 

gifted public orator, prospective but ultimately 

unsuccessful Victorian MP, and later an anti-slavery 

campaigner. By 1828 Henry was a young apprentice 

boy in the growing printing trade. Once his 

apprenticeship was completed he moved to London to 

pursue his printing career. At this time he was very 

interested in the views of Tom Paine and especially 

Paine's views on universal suffrage (which included 

votes for women, of course) and state welfare benefits.

Richard I (8 September 1157 – 6 April 1199) was King 

of England from 6 July 1189 until his death. He was 

known as Richard the Lionheart, or Cœur de Lion, 

even before his accession, because of his reputation as 

a great military leader and warrior. Saladin in medieval 

Europe, was a Sultan of Egypt and Syria. He led 

Muslim resistance to the European Crusaders and 

eventually recaptured Palestine from the Crusader 

Kingdom of Jerusalem. The Battle of Ascalon took 

place on August 12, 1099, and is often considered the 

last action of the First Crusade.

seek that fortune slipped from his personal grasp, 

however, when he was shanghaied, shipped off to the 

West Indies and sold into indentured status in 

Barbados. He escaped in 1654 after Oliver Cromwell 

sent a large invasion force to the West Indies, which 

Morgan joined. By 1666 Morgan had his own ship, and 

soon assembled a fleet which triumphed against 

Spanish galleons in Maracaibo lagoon (in modern 

Venezuela) before in 1670 he led over two thousand 

British and French privateers in the sack of Panama, 

then considered the wealthiest city in the New World. 

However, since the Spanish were aware of Morgan's 

approach, takings were less than anticipated and 

Morgan left with his share of the loot, rather than 

trying to allay the For political, religious and especially 

economic reasons, however, the favourite targets were 

Spanish. The sack led the Spanish to threaten war 

against England, so Charles II arrested Morgan and 

placed him in the Tower of London. However, once the 

furore died down, Charles II knighted Morgan for his 

exploits and sent him back to Jamaica as lieutenantgovernor, 

where he lived until 1688.

broken up in 1851, and was commanded by Lord 

Clarence Paget. The hand-written dedication at the 

bottom of the page reads: 'Presented to H. Earlsfield by

patrol as an anti-slaver, she took the slaver Diligente as 

part of England's part of her treaty with Spain for the 

suppression of the slave trade. Extremely rare.

Thomas Erskine, 1st Baron Erskine (10 January 1750 – 

17 November 1823), Lord Chancellor of the United 

Kingdom, was the third and youngest son of Henry 

David Erskine, 10th Earl of Buchan, and was born in 

Edinburgh. Erskine was a lawyer and Whig politician 

who rose to prominence defending political radicals 

during the 1790s. He was Lord Chancellor in 

Grenville's coalition 'Ministry of All the Talents'. 

Erskine stood for free speech and a free press and is 

remembered primarily as one of the great advocates in 

English legal history. He rose to prominence defending 

political radicals in the 1790s, winning a notable 

victory against the State during the infamous Treason 

Trials of 1794. His best known client was Thomas 

Paine whom he defended unsuccessfully against a 

charge of seditious libel after the publication of his 

Rights of Man (1791). Erskine's last notable case was 

his defence of Queen Caroline at her divorce 'trial' in 

1820.

Dr. Samuel Johnson (18 September 1709 - 13 

December 1784) was an English author. Beginning as a 

Grub Street journalist, he made lasting contributions to 

English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, novelist, 

literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. 

Johnson was a devout Anglican and political 

conservative, and has been described as "arguably the

Thomas Paine (January 29, 1737 – June 8, 1809) was 

an English pamphleteer, revolutionary, radical, 

inventor, and intellectual. He lived and worked in 

Britain until age 37, when he emigrated to the British 

American colonies, in time to participate in the 

American Revolution. His principal contribution was 

the powerful, widely-read pamphlet Common Sense 

(1776), advocating colonial America's independence 

from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and of The 

American Crisis (1776–1783), a pro-revolutionary 

pamphlet series. He became notorious because of The 

Age of Reason (1793–94), the book advocating deism 

and arguing against Christian doctrines. In France, he 

also wrote the pamphlet Agrarian Justice (1795), 

discussing the origins of property, and introduced the 

concept of a guaranteed minimum income.

A satire on British efforts to recover after major naval

to Lanmon, it is based on Thomas Rowlandson's 1798 

satire "High Fun for John Bull or the Republicans Put 

to Their last Shift." In the center, King George III feeds 

a tray of small ships into a bread-oven, as two other 

men stand by with additional trays of ships and cannon. 

A Frenchman stands to the left, holding a trough of 

"French Dough." King George: "Ay! What . . . Brother 

Jonathan taken another whole fleet on the Lakes -- 

Must work away -- Work away & send some more or 

He'll have Canada next." Frenchman: "Begar Mounseer 

Bull. Me no like dis new Alliance -- Dere be one 

Yankey Man da call "Mac Do-enough" Take your 

Ships by de whole Fleet -- You better try get him for I 

never get Do-enough made at dis rate!!!" Englishman: 

"Here are more Guns for the Lake service. If ever they 

do but get there -- I hear the last you sent were waylaid 

by a sly Yankey "Fox" and the ship being a "Stranger," 

he has taken her in." Second Englishman: "I tell you 

what Master Bull -- You had better keep both your 

Ships and Guns at home -- If you send all you've got to 

the Lakes, it will only make fun for the Yankeys to 

take them."'

John Law was a charismatic Scottish Econimist with a 

flair for finance who wielded extraordinary influence 

in France and Holland in the early 1700's. He 

introduced investors to both paper currency and to the 

stock-market form of trading. 

The objective was a banking and investment 

conglomerate that was supposed to enrich its 

shareholders by colonizing French territory in the vast 

Mississippi River basin. Frenzied speculation in the 

company's shares, a Gallic parallel of the South Sea 

Bubble that puffed up the British market over the same 

period, generated so much paper wealth in Paris that 

the French coined a word for the newly rich hordes: 

''millionaire.'' This venture failed spectacluarly in 

1720.

Sketching equestrian subjects in his spare time, 

Herring’s talent was quickly noticed and he soon found

The burnt-out hull of Zeppelin L33 in a field near 

Brentford, Essex. Having bombed Bromley & Bow, 

East London, it was attacked by a squadron of night 

fighters that caused enough damage for the 

commander, Kapitan-Leutnant Alois Bocker, to make a 

forced landing rather than attempt the return across the 

North Sea. Landing at Little Wigborough, 6 miles from 

Colchester, with no fatalities, the crew set fire to the 

hull, then surrendered to a single special constable! It is 

said that these were the only armed German personnel 

to set foot in England during the war. Enough remained 

of the zeppelin to help British engineers design the R33 

airship. 

Of the four zeppelins on that raid (L31, 32, 33 & 34, 

commissioned July-September 1916), none survived 

past November.
