Francis
Grose (1731 - 1791), was an
antiquary and lexicographer.GROSE, Francis, an eminent English
antiquary, was the son of Mr. Francis Grose, of Richmond, jeweller,
who died in 1769. He was born in 1731, and having a taste for
heraldry and antiquities, his father procured him a place in the
college of arms, which, however, he resigned in 1763. By his father
he was left an independent fortune, which he was not of a
disposition to add to or even to preserve. He early entered into
the Surrey militia, of which he became adjutant and paymaster; but
so much had dissipation taken possession of him, that in a
situation which above all others required attention, he was so
careless as to have for some time (as he used pleasantly to tell)
only two books of accounts, viz. his right and left pockets. In the
one he received, and from the other paid; and this too with a want
of circumspection which may be readily supposed from such a mode of
book-keeping. His losses on this occasion roused his latent
talents: with a good classical education he united a fine taste for
drawing, which he now began to cultivate; and encouraged by his
friends, he undertook the work from which he derived both profit
and reputation: his Views of Antiquities in England and Wales,
which he first began to publish in numbers in 1773, and finished in
1776.To this he was not excited by the hope of emolument ; for he
made a free gift to his printer, Mr. Samuel Hooper, of the drawings
for TA« Antiquities of England and Wales.But it should not be
forgotten, that the great success of this work enabled Mr. Hooper,
with unparalleled generosity, to present Mrs. Grose with a bank
note for £800. The next year he added two more volumes to his
English views, in which he included the islands of Guernsey and
Jersey, which were completed in 1787. ( 1779 Masstr Samuel Hooper
was at this time enrolled in the list of Bankrupts;but the natural
good temper of Captain Grose soon induced him to continue his
accustomed friendship, which ended only with life ). This work,
which was executed with accuracy and elegance, soon became a
favourite with the public at large, as well as with professed
antiquaries, from the neatness of the embellishments, and the
succinct manner in which he conveyed his information, and therefore
answered his most sanguine expectations; and, from the time he
began it to the end of his life, he continued without intermission
to publish various works, generally to th advantage of his literary
reputation, and almost always to the benefit of his finances. His
wit and good-humour were the abundant source of satisfaction to
himself and entertainment to his friends. He visited almost every
part of the kingdom, and was a welcome guest wherever he went. In
the summer of 1789 he set out on a tour in Scotland; the result of
which he began to communicate to the public in 1790, in numbers.
Before he had concluded this work, he proceeded to Ireland,
intending to furnish that kingdom with views and descriptions of
her antiquities, in the same manner he had executed those of Great
Britain; but soon after his arrival in Dublin, being at the house
of Mr. Hone there, he suddenly was seized at table with an
apoplectic fit, on the 6th May 1791, and died immediately. He was
interred in Dublin. (from "The General Biographical Dictionary" by
Alexander Chalmers, F.S.A., 1814)
. . . .
. ."Hope of profit, therefore, may
not have prompted the publication of Grose's The Antiquities of
England and Wales. This work published engravings, much smaller
than, but similar in character to, the Bucks' Views
(1726&endash;42), generally panoramas of medieval structures
intended to convey the maximum information, rather than interesting
compositions or illustrations of details. Grose's novelty was to
publish text with the views. His purpose, stated in the
introduction, was popular, 'for the use of such as are desirous of
having, without much trouble, a general knowledge of the subjects
treated in this publication', and a similar motive guided his
contributions to the periodical Antiquarian Repertory
(1775&endash;86). The first part of the Antiquities appeared in
February or March 1772, with each view and its descriptive text on
a separate page. Periodically a title-page and introduction were
issued to signal completion of a volume... Grose gave up the large
house in Wandsworth for lodgings at Clement's Inn, just west of the
City of London (first taken in 1771), and then nearby with his
publisher Samuel Hooper, now being a regular and genial participant
in the Society of Antiquaries, to which he had been elected in
1757. The sympathetic sketch by Nathaniel Dance engraved in 1787
shows the stocky, corpulent figure which Grose himself caricatured.
From 1783 he published in a torrent to make a living. The
Supplement to the Antiquities was resumed, with a greater
proportion of views from other artists, particularly S. H. Grimm,
and was completed with 309 plates in 1787. This and the main series
were reissued in a cheaper edition in 1783&endash;7... Grose
must have exhausted for publication the stock of sketches and notes
which he had accumulated over forty years. He returned to viewing
monuments of antiquity, even though (as he said in a volume of
satirical essays, The Grumbler, 1791) he was too fat to ride a
horse and too poor to keep a carriage. The Antiquities of Scotland
was compiled with tours in 1788, 1789, and 1790 and publication was
completed in April 1791. On his second tour, in summer 1789, he met
Robert Burns and the two became firm friends. He became the subject
of some witty verses by Burns, who was inspired by Grose to write
'Tam o' Shanter' to accompany a drawing of Alloway kirk printed in
The Antiquities of Scotland. Work began on The Antiquities of
Ireland in 1790, but on his next visit, on 12 May 1791, he died
suddenly of an apoplectic fit at Horace Hone's house in Dame
Street, Dublin, and was buried on 18 May 1791 at Drumcondra church,
co. Meath. His nephew Daniel and Dr Edward Ledwich completed the
project in 1796. His library and drawings were dispersed at
auction." Oxford DNB

1136 engraved plates and half-page county maps, London, Printed by

Southampton Street, Bloomsbury Square, M.DCC.LXXXIII
[1783]
There
are some 640 engraved views and
plans. These COPPER PLATE views were mostly engraved by Sparrow and
Godfrey. All were issued uncoloured.It was a HUGE work, containing
up to 57 MAPS of the English and Welsh Counties. The maps were
those of John SELLER who had died in 1697. The original John SELLER
maps are really quite scarce, although the GROSE/SELLER maps are
comparatively more common. The Grose/Seller maps had an interesting
historical notes and text added below the map & this text was
continued verso.
The
images were also issued as The
Antiquarian Repertory, volume (1776) the difference being the
title in larger type under the image and the written history to the
page. the ones from 'Antiquities' are on a single clear backed
page. The list is not complete purely a work in progress but if in
the list is a reasonably accurate portrayal of the place in mid
Georgian times. Ros King
