Printmaker James Caulfield (1764–1826) spent much of his career publishing books about 'remarkable persons'. This collection, done in collaboration with Henry Wilson (fl. 1820–3), was reprinted in 1869. It includes vignettes describing a wide-ranging and eccentric cast of characters and is accompanied by engravings of each person.
