18092120802<i>Folio 4pp. with docket on fourth page "George Harrison Gent. Not stamped. Mr. Solicitor declines at present signing the Bill for this patent. S.G. Wyatt"; </i><i>folded and unbound as issued in very good state of preservation.</i><br /><br />A fascinating document which seems however not after all to have ended in a grant for a patent. George Harrison claims that "he is in possession of an invention communicated to him by an ingenious individual of a new method or methods of conveying information from one apartment of a house to another by means of an apparatus which he calls a "Domestic Telegraph" which invention he conceives will be of great public utility. That the same is entirely new and has never been practised or used in this country by any other person or persons to the best of his knowledge & belief". George Harrison not only does not disclose the name of the inventor he also petitions for the patent to be in his own name. No such patent in Harrison's name is included in Woodcroft's definitive Alphabetical Index. It is possibly that Harrison was trying to be a bit too clever as the award of a patent was conditional on Harrison producing "a particular description of the nature of the said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed".<br /><br />George III's signature here seems in some way to illustrate both his mental illness and his approaching blindness. Little more than a year after signing this document he became dangerously ill and finally accepted the need for the 1811 Regency Act. In 1809 Lord Liverpool was Home Secretary in the Duke of Portland's government.

560232 hand-coloured woodcuts copied from the illustrations in The Universal Magazine for October and November 1761 the first taken as the Archbishop of Canterbury places the Crown on the King's head is lettered with explanations of the crowded scene including at h 'The Dukes of Normandie and Acquitain and other great officers' the second similarly explained shows the King's Champion flanked by the Earl Marshal and Lord High Constable riding up the centre between the long tables watched by the diners and the others present in the galleries printed within a 'Greek Key' border both referring to 22nd September 1761 laid down on two separate album leaves 10" x 7¾" with other items on the versos the two prints no date circa edges worn and border trimmed in places without loss to text or image The original articles of 1761 explain the role at the Dinner of the King's Champion who challenged any one to assert that George III was not their lawful sovereign and the 'Dukes of Normandy and Aquitaine' at the Coronation. The French King had anciently a council of twelve great Peers 6 lay and 6 ecclesiastic. Long after the council ceased to function the ecclesiastics attended at Reims but the lay peerages had became vested in the crown. So the King appointed people to represent his lay peerages. Henry II liked this idea which was last used in 1761 given that in 1801 Great Britain renounced all claims to France and the use of the lilies on her coat of arms. On the versos are 1 a pleasing engraving of Bouverie Hall Chart next Sutton Valence Kent and 2 a number of cuttings including temperance verses and the monument to Captain Charles Colby of the 98th Dragoons killed by a tiger at 'Rawal Pinde' 27th March 1852. unknown
