Notes |
Notes to No. 16274: For Ferdinand VII as the embroiderer of a petticoat for an image of the Virgin, his supposed occupation while at Valençay 1808-14, see No. 12508. Disturbance in Spain as a result of the French Revolution of July was feared but did not occur: quasi-liberalism was temporarily in the ascendant (owing to Carlist hostility to Queen Cristina), and there was a Carlist outburst on 24 Sept., followed in October by a futile invasion from France by liberal émigrés. See No. 16300. The throne of skulls probably derives from No. 13009. Notes for No. 16279: On 25 Aug. the editor was burnt in effigy before the office of the Brighton Guardian in North Street for a supposed libel on the King. The Times, 31 Aug., comments: 'We suspect this time-serving will disgust the manly and illustrious person whom it is intended to flatter.' On 3 Sept. The Times quotes from an article in the Brighton paper professing loyalty to the King 'as the first magistrate of a free people'. Cf. No. 16193. Notes to No. 16524: Dando, notorious for bilking, was 'the ravenous oyster eater, incessantly swallowing his ten or twelve dozen bivalves without a thought of paying for them' till he died in prison through semi-starvation. Vizetelly, Glances Back, i. 117 f. Hence a dando = one who frequents eating-houses, satisfies his appetite, and departs without payment. Brewer, Diet, of Phrase and Fable. For the title cf. No. 15731, &c. Notes to No. 16525: On 24 Aug. Wakley (see No. 15571, &c), founder and editor of the Lancet, presented himself as the first medical candidate for the post of Coroner (for East Middlesex); he was narrowly defeated at the freeholders' poll, 9-20 Sept., by William Baker, a solicitor (but in 1839 was elected Coroner for West Middlesex). He was given a public dinner at the Crown and Anchor on 28 Sept. Lancet, 1830-1, pp. 41 ff.; Sprigge, Life and Times of Thomas Wakley, 1897, pp. 353 ff. Bound in a volume ("The Looking Glass, Vol. I") containing nos. 1 to 12 for 1830. Vols. I to VII (1830 to 1836) are kept at 298.d.12 to 18. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
