Note: A beautifully handwritten manuscript copy by John Dray a pupil at Christ's Hospital. John Lucy Dray, who was born in 1742, was clothed (admitted) to Christ's Hospital in April 1751. On leaving, he was "taken & discharged from the charge of the Hospital forever by Captain John Bladen Tinker, Commander of His Majesties Ship Dover, with whom he is to serve seven years. Christ’s Hospital was founded in 1552. as a result of the vision of King Edward VI, assisted by Nicholas Ridley, Bishop of London, and Sir Richard Dobbs, Lord Mayor of London. Christ's Hospital was bestowed with its second Royal Charter by Charles II in 1673. This charter specifically created the Royal Mathematical School whose original purpose was to train mathematicians and navigators who would progress into careers as Naval officers or merchant seafarers. Samuel Pepys, Secretary to His Majesty's Navy and from 1699 Vice President of Christ's Hospital, featured strongly in his considerable contribution to Christ's Hospital. Isaac Newton, John Flamsteed, Edmund Halley and Jonas More contributed to plans for the course of study of the new school within the Foundation. One of the tasks set to pupils at the final stage of their time in the School was copying Robertson's book. The drawings are accomplished and excuted with considerable style. The School has about half a dozen surviving copies though mostly from the later half of the 18th century.

A VERY RARE 22-BORE FLINTLOCK BREECH-LOADING REPEATING CARBINE ON THE LORENZONI SYSTEM BY MARTINDALL, Circa 1665, with 20 1/2in. rebrowned two-stage sighted barrel rifled with eight grooves and with octagonal raised muzzle, action with rotating brass drum actuated by a lever on the left side, one outward movement of the drum closing the steel, rotating the brass priming-pan to charge from its magazine, pushing the cock into the half-cocked position, collecting a ball from the magazine in the butt, and receiving a charge of powder from the powder magazine, the return movement rotating the priming pan back to its ready position, and delivering the ball followed by the powder charge into the breech, rounded back-action lock engraved with foliage, a monster-mask and a putti bearing a ribbon signed 'MARTINDALL', walnut butt with brass butt-plate with pivoting trap-cover exposing a magazine for spare balls, and iron trigger-guard (some surface corrosion marks throughout, cocking-lever, cock and steel replacements, small crack in the butt behind the trigger-plate). Other Notes: William Martindall is recorded as being free of the Joiners Co. in 1654, became Gunsmith-in-Ordinary to Charles II in 1662, and died in 1666. This type of breech-loading magazine gun is thought to have been invented by the Florentine gunmaker Michele Lorenzoni. This type of gun is mentioned in Samuel Pepys diary entry of 3rd July 1662: "...a gun discharged seven times, the best of all devices I ever saw, and very serviceable, and not a bawble; for it is much approved of, and many thereof made.
