Sampson Towgood Roche (Irish 1759-1847) after Sir Peter Paul Rubens The Peasant Dance Signed Watercolour 20 x 30cm; 8 x 12in Roche was a portrait miniature painter, born in Carrick-on-Suir, Waterford. Born deaf and dumb he showed an aptitude for art at an early age so was sent to Dublin to study the masters and do copies. This work is possibly from that period. He later established a thriving portrait miniature practice in Bath.

WESLEY JOHN : (1703-1791) Anglican Clergyman, leader of the Methodist Movement. A fine, affectionate A.L.S., J Wesley, one page, 4to, near Chester, 5th April 1781, to Miss [Mary] Clarkson ('My Dear Miss Clarkson'). Wesley states 'Mr Floyde informs me, That you had sent me a Letter, & wonderd that I did not answer' and adds 'You might well wonder; for it is a Rule with me, to answer every Letter I receive. It would be particularly strange, if I had not answered you; because I have so peculiar a Regard for you', continuing to remark 'I love you, because I believe you are upright of heart, & because you are a Child of Affliction. I felt a near Union of [heart] with you when I saw you last. I love to hear of you, and to hear from you'. Wesley further writes that Mr. Floyde has informed him that Clarkson has finished the Six Letters ('if you have, I shou'd be glad to see them') and that he has also told him 'That you are attempting to turn the Death of Abel into verse. This will be a heavy work such as will require a deal of time & patience. Yet if you begin, I trust our Lord will give you resolution, to bring it to a conclusion'. He concludes his letter stating 'If I have to return to England, I shall hope for the pleasure of a further acquaintance with you. Wishing you an heart wholly to God…..' With integral address leaf (a portion neatly removed from the edge, and with minor traces of former mounting) in Wesley's hand, to Miss Clarkson 'at Mr. Francis Scot's In Wakefield, Yorkshire'. Together with an oval portrait of Clarkson, the oil on copper miniature portrait by an unknown artist depicting Clarkson wearing a white bonnet with a blue ribbon upon her head, annotated to the verso with Clarkson's name and age (26 years and five months) and the date of her death, 6th October 1781, in the same year as Wesley's letter. Also included is a printed 8vo pamphlet entitled Proceedings of The Wesley Historical Society, Volume IV, Part I, privately published and printed for the Society, 1903, in which Wesley's letter was first published. An editorial note to the letter states 'In possession (20 Aug., 1901) of Mrs. Noall, of St. Ives, Cornwall, who has also a portrait of Miss Clarkson (evidently the one included here) her great aunt. Mrs. Noall says that Miss. Clarkson married a Mr. Tapp, an Independent minister, but after a few months of married life died 6 Oct., 1781, aged only 26, “She was always delicate”…' Some light age wear to the letter and one small area of paper loss, caused by the breaking of the original seal, only slightly affecting a few words of text. About VG, 3 John Floyde (d. 1798/99) was admitted as a Preacher among the Methodists in 1770 and has been described as 'a sensible, pious man…possessed of considerable abilities for the work of the ministry…(and)….a very acceptable and useful Preacher' Floyde was active in Halifax, and later Leeds, and is recorded as having met Wesley in May 1782, whilst 'labouring under a serious illness', although the present letter shows that they were acquainted before this. (See A History of Wesleyan Methodism in Halifax and its Vicinity by J. U. Walker, 1836).  Francis Scot is mentioned in Wesley's Journal (Volume II, 1735-90) in his entry for 20th August 1748, 'At the earnest desire of the little society, I went to Wakefield. I knew the madness of the people there: But I knew also, they were in God's hand. At eight I would have preached in Francis Scot's yard; but the landlord would not suffer it, saying, the mob would do more hurt to his houses than ever we should do him good….' The Death of Abel ('Der Tod Abels') was a work by the Swiss Painter and Poet Salomon Gessner (1730-1788) which the writer himself described as 'a sort of idyllic prose pastoral'
