SCOTT WALTER: (1771-1832) Scottish historical novelist, poet, playwright and historian. Autograph Manuscript, unsigned, two pages, small oblong 4to, n.p., n.d. (c.1825). Scott has written a series of manuscript notes on various topics, including a play about Queen Elizabeth I (´If You Know Not Me, You Know Nobody; or The Troubles of Queen Elizabeth´ by Thomas Heywood), inventions, universal corruption, and historical events, being extracts taken from Samuel Pepys's famous diaries, in part, ' They cannot for example but be delighted to learn that the account of the new play Queen Elizabeth's troubles and the history of Eighty Eight which is very curious as it seems to have consisted almost entirely in scenery.....The Queens Elizabeth and Mary appeared dressed in the costumes of their age and stood on the stage and explained the meaning of the action to the audience. Pepys was much affected with the sad story of Queen Elizabeth which he had sucked in from his cradle but fully as much as to see Krupp dance among the milkmaids and come out in the night-gown with no locks on but her bare face and hair only tied up in a knot.....The play as well as the very peculiar mode of representation seem to have escaped the industry of Isaac Rush......As a member of the useful arts may also remark that the introduction of the most successful inventions are not always successful in the commencement. Such was the case with the sort of carriages now most commonly in use and called at their first introduction glass coaches. Lady Ashly debated upon their bad qualities to Mr. Pepys......There were several men killed on the side of the French, one or two on that of the Spaniards & an Englishman by a bullet.....a similar commotion during the protectorate Cromwell brought to trial and cut of[f] the head of Don Pantaleon for the brother of the Portuguese ambassador. Corruption was universal. All offices were made subject to open traffick.....The slightest promise of service required such an acknowledgement and which round sums of money, silver porringers, gold cups and so forth were.....among the rich and noble, the ´smallest donation´ accepted and expected from those who had no more to give. Upon a bare civil speech from....Sir George Downing, Pepys dispatched a porter for his best fur cap that he might bestow it on Sir George as in duty bound. But the porter tarried so long on the way that the principal had sailed before his arrival and so the cap returned its place in Mr. Pepys wardrobe......What should we now think of the courtesy of a clerk who in return for some favourable speech of his master made his willing principal in the abundance of his gratitude a present of his best beaver hat.....Such were ´Good King Charles´s golden days´. However such great Scourges upon the land to punish as it served their enormous wickedness. War, pestilence and conflagration ravaged England by turns. Of these.....calamaties many and highly curious particulars are preserved in the Memoirs, Pepys having been called upon by situation to exert himself actively during them all and having uniformly displayed both sagacity and firmness. If quitting the broad path of history we seek for.....information causes may account manners & customs the progress of arts and sciences and the various branches of antiquity we have never seen a source so rich as the volumes before us absolutely resemble the general cauldrons at the wielding of Camacho....´. Rare in this form. Some light age wear and minor staining, and a small strip of former mounting to the upper left edge, otherwise about VGSamuel Pepys (1633-1703) English writer and politician, most remembered today for the diary he kept for almost a decade.In July 1825 Scott had acquired a copy of the Diary of Samuel Pepys, which had just been published for the first time. Scott´s son-in-law John Gibson Lockhart declared that he had not seen Scott ´more delighted with any book whatsoever´. Inspired by Pepys´s diaries, and an 1821 journal by Lord Byron, Scott began his own new diary on 20th November 1825 and, with a few breaks, continued to make entries in it until April 1832. Since its first complete publication in 1890, The Journal of Sir Walter Scott has attracted high praise, being considered by many critics one of the finest diaries in the English language.

Jacob Huysmans,  Flemish c.1633-1696- Portrait of Lady Anne Home, Countess of Lauderdale, three-quarter length, seated, wearing a black dress and embroidered shawl, holding a lemon; oil on canvas, 124.6 x 102.5 cm. Provenance:  Peter Morris Esq. of Yester House sale, Sotheby's, London, 28 November 1973, lot 11 (as 'Sir Peter Lely').  Property of the late Hugo Morley-Fletcher, MA FSA (1940-2022). Exhibited:  Edinburgh, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, 'Women in Scotland 1660-1780', 1979, no.38 (as 'Sir Peter Lely'). Note:  The present work was painted in c.1665. A second autograph version was in the Duke of Rothes's collection at Leslie House in Fife, and Huysmans repeated the composition for a portrait of another sitter, now in the National Gallery of Ireland (NGI.550) (there incorrectly identified as by the landscape painter Cornelius Huysmans). In 1632 Anne Home (1612-1671) married John Maitland, 1st Duke of Lauderdale (1616-1682), who was later raised by Charles II to the rank of Duke and given what amounted to vice-regal powers in Scotland. Lady Anne married Lauderdale at the age of fifteen and together they had one child, a daughter. 'During the Commonwealth period, when Lauderdale was imprisoned in the Tower of London, his wife visited him faithfully and when it was decided that he should be moved to even stricter confinement in Warwick Castle he was able to report, ‘I bless God my wife prevailed to get the order recalled.' After the Restoration they lived together at Highgate House in London, which Lady Anna had inherited from her mother. When Pepys visited them there in 1666, he found Lauderdale at supper with 'his Lady and some Scotch people'' (Scottish National Portrait Gallery, ‘Women in Scotland 1660-1780' exhibition catalogue, pp.34-35).Huysmans was a Flemish portrait painter who, after training in his native Antwerp, immigrated to England before the Restoration. He became a feted court painter and attracted the patronage of the Portuguese born queen Catherine of Braganza, wife of King Charles II and a Catholic like himself, of whom he painted several portraits. With his exuberant style, he was during his lifetime regarded as an important rival of the court painter Sir Peter Lely (1618-1680) who favoured a more sober treatment of his sitters.

She died suddenly on 17th June 1800 “after a few hours illness only” (Milton Church, Cambridge). Knight was one of Thomas Lawrence's earliest patrons. In 1777, when Lawrence was only eight years old, he drew a miniature of Knight's neighbour Charles Pepys, and the drawing remains in the Knight family collection (see Garlick, 1964, p.240). Garlick records that Lawrence's portrait of Elizabeth was unfinished, and the present work was clearly completed by a later hand.
