2. Snelling, xxvii. 2.
MB* JR. Hunter, jit. Very rare.
Also cast, like the preceding. The subject of this medal
is probably Richard Nevill, who resided at Bilingbeare in
Berkshire, and was a neighbour of Sir William Rich. He
mairied the only daughter of Lord Grey of Werke, and represented
his county in Parliament. He died in 1714. The sun
enters the sign Libra at the autumnal equinox: the type of
the reverse may therefore be symbolical of Nevill, who was
alieady somewhat advanced in years; while the motto may
refer to the uprightness of his conduct.
Yeitue (Add. MSS. Brit. Mus. 23,073, p. 43) mentions
medals in silver -of other members of this Club—Tanfield
Vachet, Christopher Lyon Cross, and Johannes Ariot: but
these have not been met with.

No specimen of this medal has been met with. Rudolphi
(Recentioris Aevi Numis. Virorum de Rebus Med., Berlin, 1829)
describes the piece, and adds that he had seen it in the Gotz
collection. It is cast, and was made at Florence.
John Inglis united the different occupations of physician in
ordinary and first marshal to William III. and Anne, and
afterwards Assistant Master of the Ceremonies in the reigns of
the latter Sovereign, George I., and George II. He died at his
house in Soho, 8 May, 1740, and was buried at Lewisham in
Kent, of which place his son John had been for several years
incumbent. Inglis was a member of the Royal Society, but
does not appear to have contributed to the Transactions of that
body. No record has been 'met with of his visit to Italy in
1703, but he must have gone there, as Soldani only worked at
Florence.

When the Allies resolved to place Charles, the second son of
the Emperor, Leopold I., upon the throne of Spain, that Prince
came to England, and was conveyed by the combined English
and Dutch fleets to Portugal, where he. was to have espoused
the Infanta; but she died before his arrival. Being detained
by contrary winds, he did not leave England till February :
he reached Lisbon 1704. The Imperial eagle is represented
as the Deliverer of Spain, and the Avenger of the
usurpations of France.
