EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an extract of a letter from Lord Orrery to Dr Birch, dated 1746. Created by John Boyle, Earl of Corke and Orrery, this illustration is part of the book "Historical and Literary Curiosities" by Charles John Smith, published in London in 1840. The image showcases the handwritten manuscript of Lord Orrery's letter, providing a glimpse into the character of the English nation during the 18th century. The intricate handwriting adds a touch of authenticity to this historical document. Lord Orrery's correspondence with Dr Birch sheds light on various aspects of Britishness and Englishness that were prevalent at that time. It offers valuable insights into the country's culture, values, and identity during both the 18th and 19th centuries. Notable figures mentioned in this letter include Francois-Marie Arouet (Voltaire), Thomas Birch himself, as well as John Boyle (Earl of Corke and Orrery).

As we gaze upon this monochrome print, we are transported back in time to witness an exchange between influential minds discussing matters close to their hearts.
