The Apparition, or Low C----h Ghost |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A broadside satirising the Low Church. An etching showing, on the left, the ghost of Oliver Cromwell saying, "All that Rebell/With me must Dwell", returning from Hell to frighten a Puritan Lay Teacher ("That to Prevent/I will Repent); other Low Churchmen run out of the room to right: Bishop Burnet ("The Executor", saying, "I'll resign my Place"), Daniel Burgess ("I'll be good in deed"), Benjamin Hoadly ("I'll Change my Principles") dropping one of his crutches, and another, unidentified, who is already partly through the door crying, "Needs must when the Devil drives". On the wall behind, between two windows, is a bookcase labelled "The Low C-h Library" containing, "The judgement of whole kingdoms and nations" (attributed to Lord Somers), Hobbes' "Leviathan", "Familism" (evidently a book related to the 16th-century religious sect founded by Hendrik Niclaes), "Against the Trinity", a volume of the journal, "The Observator", Milton's Works, "Reviews" and "Atheism". On either side of the bookcase is an escutcheon, one bearing a calf's head ("Property") and the other an ax ("Liberty"); in front is a table on which is a a quill pen and inkwell and a copy of the Test Act. At lower left, the mouth of hell is represented by the a head of a beast with flames emerging from its mouth, addressing Cromwell: "Return with speed". On the floor lie a spade and pick, a book lettered "Life of O.C.", a candlestick, a broken candle, and an hour-glass. Verses below in the form of a dialogue between Cromwell and the Lay Teacher. (London; 1711) |

editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
