Commissioned White Sea Squadron in 1854. Senior Officer in the Gulf of Riga in 1855' then in pencil in a different hand 'Arctic Explorer in 1850 was the first to discover items from Sir John Franklin's expedition to find the North-West passage'; along with another but later full length portrait Carte de Visite, A Debenham Southsea, photographers to the Admiralty 69 Palmerston Road, Southsea, written in manuscript to the back '1814-1904 Admiral Sir Erasmus Ommanney Arctic Explorer HMS Assistance, 1850 search for Franklin, First person to discover Franklins expedition items on Beechy Island 25 August 1850, Awarded the Arctic medal for his scientific reasearches. Ommanney entered the Royal Navy aged 12 under his uncle Captain John Ommanney Lieutenant in 1855. Service in Baffin Bay and undertook a dangerous mission to rescue Whalers trapped in ice. He had a distinguished career in the Royal Navy' Sir Erasmus Ommanney, 1814–1904, was a British naval officer and Arctic explorer, most noted for his part in the searches for the lost Franklin Expedition. His career spanned both naval warfare and scientific exploration, and his contributions to Arctic exploration are particularly significant. Eventual to what arguably is highlighted as a milestone in Ommanney's life happened in 1850 when he joined the British Admiralty's search mission in locating Sir John Franklin and his lost crew in the search for the Northwest Passage. In command of HMS Assistance, Ommanney presided over a squadron mounting an extensive search of the Arctic-on August 23, 1850, specifically at Cape Riley on Beechey Island. His team discovered the first physical evidence of Franklin's doomed expedition: evidence of camps and the graves of three crew. The discovery, although it did not find any direct evidence of Franklin's ships, marked the first tangible evidence to prove that the expedition survived at least some time after entering the Arctic, and it significantly influenced future searches. Besides taking part in the Franklin search, Ommanney had prepared numerous contributions to Arctic exploration. Local surveys and observations he was able to carry out in the Arctic, particularly in Baffin Bay, had served to plot the unknown coastlines and gave very vital meteorological and oceanographic data. His merit and skill as a commander and scientific rigor earned him wide respect both in the naval and scientific circles. Service of Ommanney extended beyond exploration. He was a decorated officer active in the Mediterranean and participant in the Crimean War. For his services to the Navy and polar exploration, he was knighted in 1867. In his old age, he published accounts of his Arctic experiences thereby shedding light on the travails of polar exploration. Erasmus Ommanney's legacy is firmly tied to his part in the Franklin search, but, in its broader setting of his work for naval exploration and to science, underlines his emergent continuing impact on the field of Arctic discovery and British naval history.

Muir, an innovative engineer, gained early experience in Scotland working in the cotton spinning machinery industry before moving to England in 1830. He honed his engineering skills under renowned figures like Henry Maudslay in London, where he worked alongside James Nasmyth, then a draughtsman, and Joseph Whitworth, both of whom would later become famous engineers. In 1842, Muir established his own business in Manchester, beginning modestly but quickly growing. By 1851, his company employed over 30 workers, including apprentices and his own sons. The firm produced a wide array of products, ranging from machine tools to more specialized inventions like screw embossing presses, t and oil-testing machines. Muir collaborated with Joseph Whitworth in developing the world’s first standardized threading system, which became widely influential in mechanical engineering. Over time, the company expanded, manufacturing large-scale machinery such as precision rifle sights and cotton winding equipment. In 1937, the company changed its name to Muir Machine Tools and, in 1944, was absorbed into the machine tool division of David Brown and Sons Group.

The work is noteworthy on several counts: it contains the first fully developed atomistic system of the seventeenth century, the first important defence in English of Harvey's theory of the circulation, important discussions of reflex action and embryological development, an account of the first recorded patch test for allergy, the fullest early account in English of teaching the deaf to lip-read, and material on behavioural conditioning that anticipates the work of Pavlov. Digby's introduction of Gassendian and Cartesian atomism into England provided Boyle and Newton with the foundation for their achievements in chemistry and physics. (Norman).
