Légende

'Frontispiece to the Terrae Filius', 1808, (1827). The terræ filius, (son of the soil), was a satirical orator who spoke at public ceremonies at the University of Oxford. Here, poet and political writer Nicholas Amhurst, prevented from ascending the lectern, is stripped of his wig and robes before an ecclesiastical court. A cleric tears in two a copy of Amhurst's "Terrae filius". The scene is probably the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford. Engraving after Hogarth's of 1726. Frontispiece to "Terrae filius; Or, The Secret History of the University of Oxford" by Nicholas Amhurst, [1726]. [Longman, Hurst, Rees & Orme, London, 1808]. From "The Works of Wiliam Hogarth", Volume II, by The Rev. John Trusler. [J. Goodwin, London, 1827]
