March 1641, fourth son of Robert Sidney, 2nd earl of Leicester (d. 1677), and his wife Lady Dorothy (d. 1659), daughter of Henry Percy, earl of Northumberland. In 1667 he was appointed captain of foot in the Holland regiment, and in the 1670s progressed through various public and court positions, including envoy to France and master of the robes. In 1679 he was sent as envoy to the states general, where he won the confidence of William of Orange. His activities earned him the displeasure of Charles II, and he was recalled in 1681. William's attempt to counteract the king's displeasure by getting Sidney appointed commander of the English regiments in the Dutch service was unsuccessful, while the accession of James II in 1685 further undermined Sidney's career. However, having remained out of view in Italy in 1686–7, he returned to England in 1688 in time to take a leading role in the conspiracy to bring William to England. In the summer of 1690 Sidney accompanied William to Ireland, and was present at the battle of the Boyne. Following William's departure (September), Sidney was appointed as one of the lords justices to govern Ireland. He served in that post till December 1690, when he returned to London to take up office as secretary of state for the northern department. During 1691 he was appointed warden of the Cinque ports, attended William in Flanders, and by the end of the year was being suggested as lord lieutenant of Ireland. In early 1692 he was appointed to that post, though his suitability for the position, and potential for a successful time in office, was called into question almost immediately when accusations were made that he had sold government places when a lord justice. William I Blathwayt was a diplomat and politician under the later Stuarts and William of Orange. He inherited Dyrham Park through his wife, Mary Wynter (1650–1694), whom he married in 1686.

Sidney (Algernon), Discourses concerning Government, London: J. Darby, 1704, folio, second edition, 18th century calf, portrait frontispiece, one page of publisher's advertisements, Inscribed for H. PulteneyOmbersley Court, WorcestershireA major text of republican theory, a significant influence on the American Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was one of many influenced by Sidney's ideas. In 1804, he wrote of the Discourses: "They are in truth a rich treasure of republican principles, supported by copious & cogent arguments, and adorned with the finest flowers of science. It is probably the best elementary book of the principles of government... which has ever been published in any language" (Sowerby III: J6). "Jefferson identified Sidney as one of four writers who provided the intellectual foundations of the Declaration of Independence" (A Covenanted People, 56). The work was first published in 1698, but was written between 1681 and 1683 and originally circulated as a manuscript. While still unpublished, the Discourses was used against Sidney in his trial.Inscribed for H. Pulteney, likely Harry Pulteney (1686-1767) the younger son of Colonel William Pulteney, of Misterton in Leicestershire.

Three years later he was listed in a trade directory as a horological maker and seller offering picture clocks as well as a supplier of concave glasses. In 1841 a magazine, 'La Presse', recommended 'La Maison Wurtel' to their readers informing them that they can buy watches, table clocks, picture clocks, music boxes, alarm clocks and 'objects of fantasy'. In 1856 they exhibited at the 'Exposition of Delepine of Paris' but unfortunately were positioned within the scientific instrument section to the bafflement of visitors. Maison Wurtel were known to have sourced their clock movements form Japy Freres and the musical mechanism within the present lot can be attributed to Auguste L'Epee of Saint-Suzanne, Doubs, France (who worked from 1839 until the end of the century). The Angelus mechanism is a particularly rare feature which traditionally served to accompany the recital of the Angelus prayer in Roman Catholicism. Condition Report: The clock, striking and angelus mechanisms are all in relatively clean original working condition with the various levers and detents present. The musical mechanism is also in relatively clean working condition with no visible losses to the teeth or noticeable corrosion issues. The clock was in use in the vendor's home when consigned however due to the nature of the item some adjustment may be required to ensure all the features operate as an when they should once the picture is hung securely on the wall. The canvas is in good condition with no visible tears or holes of noticeable repairs. The frame is in fine condition with good gilding throughout. The pine back box has some slight wear/bumps (most noticeable to the back corners) as well as other relatively minor age related faults - otherwise is in very good original condition.Clock is complete with pendulum and two winding keys. Condition Report Disclaimer

The latest date in the text is 1709 and one signature at the front bears the date 1732. In the final short piece on the office of messengers the author indicates that he is a member of the College of Justice, where he has apparently worked for some time. The College of Justice is a group of judges and lawyers who form the Court of Session. Established in 1532 it is the highest civil court in Scotland.While there are some published texts on a similar subject such as Ars Notariatus: Or, the Art and Office of a Notary-Publick, as the same is Practised in Scotland (Edinburgh, 1740), this work appears to be original and unpublished.

Since the royal decree requiring watermark dates in English paper was issued in 1794, it seemed reasonable to consider undated Portal & Bridges paper as pre-1794” from Watermarks and Musicology, Jan La Rue, The Journal of Musicology, page 319, Vol. 18, No. 2 (Spring 2001), University of California Press.This is an unusually early, contemporary manuscript copy possibly for home or rehearsal use. Given the paper manufacturer, this is evidently an early copy possibly made in London, only a few years after the opera was premiered.The keyboard reduction in this version is very similar - but not identical - to Carl Zulehner’s keyboard reduction in the edition published by B. Schott in 1791.
