| Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) This illustrates "Memoirs of the Marquis of Dorchester [1606-80], one of the Ancestors of the duke of Kingston", the episode illustrated being a speech "to the trained band of Nottinghamshire a Newark, July 13, 1641" [sic i.e. 1642]. A panegyric on the virtue, political moderation, and learning of Dorchester, with an implied contrast to the character of modern peers. The format is identical to that of other illustrations to the 'Oxford Magazine'. |
