39424London 1791. This letter from the Catholic Committee to the Bishop of Centuria dated February 1791 was issued prior to passage of the bill brought by Charles Butler and the Catholic Committee. They attempt to explain and defend the actions and resolutions of the Catholic Committee to the Vicars Apostolic and to argue a case for the condemned oath. With errata notice tipped to inside of front wrapper; with page 33 numbered correctly. Dated at end: Feb 2 1791 and signed: Charles Berington. Jos. Wilks and six others for the Committee of English Catholics. Clean text throughout corners creased and lightly soiled. Original paper wraps creased and sunned. VG. Referenced by: ESTC T051371 In 1789 when the action of the "Catholic Committee" threatened seriously to compromise the English Catholics Walmesley called a synod of his colleagues and a decree was issued that the bishops of England "unanimously condemned the new form of oath intended for the Catholics and declared it unlawful to be taken". The issue was over the form of an oath of loyalty to George III necessary for Catholics to engage with the official world. The previous oath had been defined in the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1778. On 15 August 1790 Walmesley consecrated Dr. John Carroll the first Catholic Bishop in the United States of America at Lulworth Castle Dorset. Eventually however a form of words was agreed and The Roman Catholic Relief Act 1791 was passed in 1791 31 George III. c. 32 relieving Catholics of certain political educational and economic disabilities. It admitted Catholics to the practise of law permitted the exercise of their religion and the existence of their schools. On the other hand chapels schools officiating priests and teachers were to be registered assemblies with locked doors as well as steeples and bells to chapels were forbidden; priests were not to wear their robes or to hold service in the open air; children of Protestants were not to be admitted to the schools; monastic orders and endowments of schools and colleges were prohibited. - See Wikipedia [London?, 1791] paperback

Michael English b. 5th September1941 – d. 25th September 2009 was a British artist known for poster designs he created in the 1960s for musicians such as Jimi Hendrix in collaboration with Nigel Waymouth and the design company they established Hapshash and the Coloured Coatand later for several series of hyper realist paintings in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1962 he enolled at Ealing College of Artwhere he took Roy Ascott's radical Groundcourse which had a major impact on his thinking.His work included commissioned paintings for both private individuals and public organisationsadvertising art for companies such as Porsche and stamp series for the Royal Mail such as the 'British Buses' or 'British Motorcycles'. His career was launched in London during 1966when he began to work with Nigel Waymouthwho owned the shop Granny Takes a Trip in the King's Roadwhich was a burgeoning counter-culture and bohemian centre of Swinging London. English was hired by Waymouth to create a mural for the shopwhich was rapidly gaining international cult status. English incorporated "fairground murals vernacular imagery and hand-crafted Victorian letter forms" into the muraland during the same periodhe also completed a mural for the Cale Street shop Hung On You in the trendy Chelsea areaowned by Michael Rainey. During this period he produced what he considered his 'best poster' for the underground club UFO established by John Hopkinsco-founder of the International Times. He contributed artworkincluding two covers issues 4 and 13 for the radical 'OZ' magazine as part of Hapshasha collaboration which continued for two years.Throughout this timehe produced posters for leading performers such as Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. He also created posters for the 1968 Liverpool Love Festivaland Love Me Film Productions. Michael English has been credited with creating "an English form of psychedelic poster art". English's works used contemporary Op Art techniques to create a visually jarring effect for the viewer and had a boldcarnivalesque style similar to Pop Art. He also used evocative references to the decadent spirit of the 1890s 'Art Nouveau' influencessuch as Alphonse Mucha's postersand the works of Aubrey Beardsley. In the 1970sEnglish moved away from psychedelic imagery towards Hyper Realist work employing airbrush techniques. He produced several different series of paintings'The Food Paintings' 1969– 70including 'Fried Egg' and 'Ketchup' The Rubbish Posters 1970with the iconic 'Coke'an airbrush image of a used Coca-Cola bottle capand the Strikes Water Prints 1971 with images such as Ball Strikes Water. English's posters from this period sold in the millions. English also experimented with environmentalist happenings and oil lamp projections.In the mid to late 1970s and the 1980s he focused more keenly on two seemingly contrasting themesthe 'Machine Paintings' which are highly detailed sections of trains planes and trucks and the 'Nature Paintings'which provided close-up fragments of nature images such as ivy leaves often juxtaposed with hard man-made surfaces.His interest in both these themes continued to play a major part in his subsequent career resulting in several large scale paintings.

'I might even take Sheffield before Manchester if that would be more convenient to you only that perhaps the holidays hanging over me would be bad for the engagement.' She apologises for refusing him again but the inconvenience would be such that 'any remuneration Sheffield could be likely to give would not compensate me'. 42 Albany Street, Edinburgh. 20 February [no year]. unknown
