Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) >From the 'Oxford Magazine', vii, 70. During April the Lord Mayor received addresses from the three counties named and from the towns of Newcastle, Stratford, and Honiton, besides the freedom of the city of Worcester and of the town of Bedford. 'Ann. Reg.', 1771, 100. Wilkes of course was not in the Tower; he had refused to obey the summons of the House of Commons and they had been afraid to enforce it. Lewes, a Welshman, a City attorney and prominent City Whig, became an Alderman in 1772, and was knighted in Feb. 1773, when sheriff. Beaven, 'Aldermen of the City of London', 1913, ii. 135, 200, &c. For the imprisonment of Crosby and Oliver see BMSat 4853, &c. |

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. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only.
