View of the Royal Hospital at Greenwich, from the river Thames. This hospital was built in 1694 as a hospital, pension and centre of education for seamen and their families until 1869.

The Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure was published in London by Hinton, and later William Bent, on a monthly basis between 1747 and 1814. It collected together entries and numerous illustrations on a diverse range of topics, including history, geography, mathematics, philosophy, poetry, gardening, natural history, medicine, and biography.
