English antiquary and collector. He began collecting while at Rugby School and Oxford. On inheriting his father's estate at Middle Hill in Worcestershire, Phillipps embarked on a career of collecting manuscripts and books. His collection of manuscripts eventually numbered over 60,000 items. During Continental trips in the 1820s Phillipps bought heavily, and back in England he continued to do so, often buying up entire estate libraries at auction. He collected Eastern, Greek and Lat...

James I, King of England, 1566-1625

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6kf2p12 (person)

James VI was born in Edinburgh Castle in 1566, the only son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her second husband, Lord Darnley. As Mary was forced to abdicate shortly after his birth, he acceded to the Scottish throne as an infant and was brought up to be distanced from his mother.

He married Anne of Denmark in 1590, though ...

William Thomas Beckford, English writer and art collector. In 1782 he published his best known literary work, Vathek, first in French. His budding political career was derailed in 1784 by scandal surrounding his relationship with William Courtenay (1768-1835). He is perhaps best remembered for his biggest failure -- his lavish but hastily built home, Fonthill Abbey -- which collapsed twice, earning it the nickname "Beckford's Folly."

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6f18xcb (person)

John Pinkerton(1758-1826), was a writer of numerous works including Scottish ballads and poems, although he was found to have forged some of the "ancient" pieces, which earned him notoriety as a literary impostor. He also wrote on geography, early Scottish history, as well as numismatics and medals which brought him to the attention of Horace Walpole, with whom Pinkerton corresponded until Walpole's death (1797).
