In 1762 Robert Adam began work on a house on the south side of Berkeley Square for the 3rd Earl of Bute. Three years later Bute sold the unfinished shell to William Petty, Earl of Shelburne and 1st Marquis Lansdowne. Adam continued to work on the house (his plans and services were included in the purchase price) which was largely complete by 1768. Bonomi`s unexecuted design for fitting up the gallery as a library was the fifth to be commissioned by Lansdowne who had already rejected proposals for the gallery from Adam himself (c.1764, drawing in Sir John Soane`s Museum), Pannini (1772), Clerisseau (1774) and Belanger (1779). George Dance`s designs of 1788-91 were eventually realised as a sculpture gallery in 1816-19 by Robert Smirke..

James Nasmyth, who when a young man worked with Maudslay, wrote of his slide rest lathe, "its influence in improving and extending the use of machinery has been as great as that produced by the improvement of the steam engine in respect to perfecting manufactures and extending commerce".
