* Eddystone Lighthouse. Winstanley (Henry), Edystone Light-House, This draught was made & engraven by Henry Winstanley of Littlebury, Gent. and is sold at his Waterworks; where also is to be seen at any time ye Modle of ye said Building & principal Roomes for six pence a peice, circa 1700, large uncoloured engraving on three conjoined sheets, old folds, occasional short closed tears along old folds, 990 x 690 mmQty: (1)NOTESThis first incarnation of the Eddystone ligthhouse was designed by Henry Winstanley (1644-1703) in 1696 and completed in 1699. It was a timber building and the first to be built on the Eddystone Rocks. The rocks were a major hazard to shipping and are some nine miles off Rame Head at the approach to Plymouth Sound. Winstanley - a successful businessman and ship owner - had lost two ships on the Eddystone and this undoubtedly encouraged him to find a solution. A violent storm on the night of 26 November 1703 destroyed the lighthouse, killing the light-keepers, the workmen and Winstanley himself. It was replaced in 1709 by an oak and iron lighthouse designed by John Rudyerd, which survived until 1755 when was destroyed in a fire. The third attempt, also known as Smeaton's Tower stood until 1877 and its upper portion now stands on Plymouth Hoe as a monument. The current, fourth, lighthouse was designed by James Douglas, using Robert Stevenson's developments of Smeaton's techniques and opened in 1882.

The Goding family brewery, headed by Thomas Goding, was very successful during the nineteenth century. The site was particularly desirable as there was a waterworks nearby, which the Godings bought and incorporated into the brewery in 1853. The water used for brewing was sourced from the five wells inside the building. The brewery was taken over in 1924 by the brewers Hoare and Co., of Wapping, and was badly damaged by fire in 1931. It remained derelict until it was demolished in 1949. The Royal Festival Hall stands in its place today and the only evidence of the original brewery is the large lion visible on the top of the building, made of artificial Coade stone and is known as the South Bank Lion.Amendment: This item is no longer framed and glazed, however the frame is still with the lot.

Hugh Broughton (1549-1612) was one of the outstanding Hebrew scholars of his generation, and immensely learned not only in biblical Hebrew but also in the Talmud and other Rabbinic writings; he knew many Jewish scholars during his residence abroad. For many years he advocated a new translation of the Bible into English but in fact it was John Rainolds, an old adversary, who in 1604 put in motion the efforts which led to the Authorised Version of 1611. Educated at Cambridge, he studied Hebrew under Chevallier or Cevallerius and became a fellow of St John's College. He was appointed to a prebendal stall at Durham in 1578, which he later resigned, coming to settle in London where he worked as a private tutor for some years before going to Germany in 1589. Essentially he remained abroad for the rest of his life, returning to England only to die.

Millar ordered William Strahan to print the work on two of his printing presses in order to produce a total of 5,000 copies for the first run of the work. Rothschild claims that there were two impressions, one in December 1751, the second in January 1752, but this seems to be confused with the second edition of 3,000 copies which Millar ordered to follow the first but subsequently cancelled. "Fielding's Amelia was the most pleasing heroine of all the romances...but that vile broken nose never cured, ruined the sale of perhaps the only book, which being printed off betimes one morning, a new edition was called for before night" Samuel Johnson, pp.221-222 in Anecdotes of the late Samuel Johnson, 1786.
