Thomas Frye [<strong>17</strong>10-<strong>17</strong>62] was born in Edenderry,<br />
King's Country, Ireland. His grandfather was a<br />
dragoon officer who had fought at the battle of the<br />
Boyne on the side of William III. It is not known what<br />
education he had or when he came to London. He<br />
married around <strong>17</strong>35 and had five children. Frye is<br />
typical of many of the artists who painted portrait<br />
miniatures in the early 18th century - he would not<br />
have identified himself primarily as a miniature<br />
painter, and did not learn the art as an apprentice under<br />
a master. Miniature painting, working in watercolour<br />
on ivory, was an established genteel pastime, and many<br />
artists felt able to teach themselves, and have it as<br />
simply as another string to their bow. Frye was<br />
involved in a wide variety of artistic activities,<br />
including oils, mezzotint prints, crayons (also called<br />
pastels), 'plumbago' portraits (small drawings in<br />
graphite on vellum), miniatures in watercolour on<br />
ivory, enamels and even oil 'miniatures' painted on<br />
metal. He was also a founder partner and first manager<br />
of the bow porcelain 'manufactory' in London. He<br />
devoted so much time to the factory that he became ill<br />
in <strong>17</strong>59 and had to go to Wales for his health;<br />
unfortunately the factory did not survive his absence.
As a result of this activity miniatures on ivory by Frye<br />
are rare. Frye had some important commissions as a<br />
portrait painter in oil - Frederick , Prince of Wales sat<br />
to Frye for an oil portrait for the Saddlers' Company.<br />
He was also particularly famous for his striking<br />
mezzotints. Frye died of consumption in <strong>17</strong>62.<br />

A catechist is one who engages in such religious<br />
instruction. Typically, it is a lay minister trained in the<br />
art of catechesis. It might also be a pastor or priest,<br />
religious teacher, or other individuals in church roles<br />
(including a deacon, religious brother or sister, or nun).<br />
The primary catechists for children are their parent.<br />
Poem by Charles Lamb (London, 10 February <strong>17</strong>75 –<br />
Edmonton, 27 December 1834), who was an English<br />
essayist of Welsh heritage, best known for his Essays<br />
of Elia and for the children's book Tales from<br />
Shakespeare, which he produced with his sister, Mary<br />

Joseph Sturge (<strong>17</strong>93 - May 14, 1859), son of a farmer<br />
in Gloucestershire, was an English Quaker and founder<br />
of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, now<br />
Anti-Slavery International, who spent his life engaged<br />
in Radical political actions supporting pacifism,<br />
working class rights, and the universal emancipation of<br />
slaves. In Jamaica, Joseph Sturge helped to found Free<br />
Villages with the Baptists, one of which was named<br />
Sturge Town in his memory. Very scarce.<br />

Henry Vincent (born 10 May 1813) was active in the<br />
formation in Britain of early Working Men's<br />
Associations, a popular Chartist leader, brilliant and<br />
gifted public orator, prospective but ultimately<br />
unsuccessful Victorian MP, and later an anti-slavery<br />
campaigner. By 1828 Henry was a young apprentice<br />
boy in the growing printing trade. Once his<br />
apprenticeship was completed he moved to London to<br />
pursue his printing career. At this time he was very<br />
interested in the views of Tom Paine and especially<br />
Paine's views on universal suffrage (which included<br />
votes for women, of course) and state welfare benefits.<br />

Richard I (8 September 1157 – 6 April 1199) was King<br />
of England from 6 July 1189 until his death. He was<br />
known as Richard the Lionheart, or Cœur de Lion,<br />
even before his accession, because of his reputation as<br />
a great military leader and warrior. Saladin in medieval<br />
Europe, was a Sultan of Egypt and Syria. He led<br />
Muslim resistance to the European Crusaders and<br />
eventually recaptured Palestine from the Crusader<br />
Kingdom of Jerusalem. The Battle of Ascalon took<br />
place on August 12, 1099, and is often considered the<br />
last action of the First Crusade.<br />

Henry Morgan (1635-1688). Born the son of a farmer<br />
in Llanrhymney, Wales, Henry Morgan had no<br />
inclination to follow in the father’s muddy footsteps<br />
and left home to seek his fortune. Control over how to<br />
seek that fortune slipped from his personal grasp,<br />
however, when he was shanghaied, shipped off to the<br />
West Indies and sold into indentured status in<br />
Barbados. He escaped in 1654 after Oliver Cromwell<br />
sent a large invasion force to the West Indies, which<br />
Morgan joined. By 1666 Morgan had his own ship, and<br />
soon assembled a fleet which triumphed against<br />
Spanish galleons in Maracaibo lagoon (in modern<br />
Venezuela) before in 1670 he led over two thousand<br />
British and French privateers in the sack of Panama,<br />
then considered the wealthiest city in the New World.<br />
However, since the Spanish were aware of Morgan's<br />
approach, takings were less than anticipated and<br />
Morgan left with his share of the loot, rather than<br />
trying to allay the For political, religious and especially<br />
economic reasons, however, the favourite targets were<br />
Spanish. The sack led the Spanish to threaten war<br />
against England, so Charles II arrested Morgan and<br />
placed him in the Tower of London. However, once the<br />
furore died down, Charles II knighted Morgan for his<br />
exploits and sent him back to Jamaica as lieutenantgovernor,<br />
where he lived until 1688.<br />

Thomas Erskine, 1st Baron Erskine (10 January <strong>17</strong>50 –<br />
<strong>17</strong> November 1823), Lord Chancellor of the United<br />
Kingdom, was the third and youngest son of Henry<br />
David Erskine, 10th Earl of Buchan, and was born in<br />
Edinburgh. Erskine was a lawyer and Whig politician<br />
who rose to prominence defending political radicals<br />
during the <strong>17</strong>90s. He was Lord Chancellor in<br />
Grenville's coalition 'Ministry of All the Talents'.<br />
Erskine stood for free speech and a free press and is<br />
remembered primarily as one of the great advocates in<br />
English legal history. He rose to prominence defending<br />
political radicals in the <strong>17</strong>90s, winning a notable<br />
victory against the State during the infamous Treason<br />
Trials of <strong>17</strong>94. His best known client was Thomas<br />
Paine whom he defended unsuccessfully against a<br />
charge of seditious libel after the publication of his<br />
Rights of Man (<strong>17</strong>91). Erskine's last notable case was<br />
his defence of Queen Caroline at her divorce 'trial' in<br />
1820.<br />

Thomas Paine (January 29, <strong>17</strong>37 – June 8, 1809) was<br />
an English pamphleteer, revolutionary, radical,<br />
inventor, and intellectual. He lived and worked in<br />
Britain until age 37, when he emigrated to the British<br />
American colonies, in time to participate in the<br />
American Revolution. His principal contribution was<br />
the powerful, widely-read pamphlet Common Sense<br />
(<strong>17</strong>76), advocating colonial America's independence<br />
from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and of The<br />
American Crisis (<strong>17</strong>76–<strong>17</strong>83), a pro-revolutionary<br />
pamphlet series. He became notorious because of The<br />
Age of Reason (<strong>17</strong>93–94), the book advocating deism<br />
and arguing against Christian doctrines. In France, he<br />
also wrote the pamphlet Agrarian Justice (<strong>17</strong>95),<br />
discussing the origins of property, and introduced the<br />
concept of a guaranteed minimum income.<br />

A satire on British efforts to recover after major naval<br />

to Lanmon, it is based on Thomas Rowlandson's <strong>17</strong>98<br />

to Their last Shift." In the center, King George III feeds<br />
a tray of small ships into a bread-oven, as two other<br />
men stand by with additional trays of ships and cannon.<br />
A Frenchman stands to the left, holding a trough of<br />
"French Dough." King George: "Ay! What . . . Brother<br />
Jonathan taken another whole fleet on the Lakes --<br />
Must work away -- Work away & send some more or<br />
He'll have Canada next." Frenchman: "Begar Mounseer<br />

his drawing. Awarded a scholarship in 1905 to study at<br />
the Royal College of Art, London. He received prizes<br />

The burnt-out hull of Zeppelin L33 in a field near<br />
Brentford, Essex. Having bombed Bromley & Bow,<br />
East London, it was attacked by a squadron of night<br />
fighters that caused enough damage for the<br />
commander, Kapitan-Leutnant Alois Bocker, to make a<br />
forced landing rather than attempt the return across the<br />
North Sea. Landing at Little Wigborough, 6 miles from<br />
Colchester, with no fatalities, the crew set fire to the<br />
hull, then surrendered to a single special constable! It is<br />
said that these were the only armed German personnel<br />
to set foot in England during the war. Enough remained<br />
of the zeppelin to help British engineers design the R33<br />
airship.<br />
Of the four zeppelins on that raid (L31, 32, 33 & 34,<br />
commissioned July-September 1916), none survived<br />
