These associations went into decline beginning with the establishment of the Metropolitan Police in 1829, the passing of the 1839 Rural Police Act, and finally the County and Borough Police Act of 1856, which made it compulsory for all counties to have a police force.

On the magical qualities of the letters of the Arabic alphabet, their numerical values and their categorization into fire, air, water and earth letters, in Ottoman Turkish (folios1a-2a). 2. Talisman (folio 2a), in Arabic. The copyist (Tawakkulī Muṣṭafá) claims to have seen this talisman in the year 1162 Hijrī (1748/1749) and copied it in Jumād Thānī, 1175 Hijrī (1761/1762). 3. Miftāḥ Kitāb Sāmūr Hindī (Key to the book of the Indian Sāmūr" (folios 2b-22a), by Darwīsh Fatʹḥ Allāh Rūmī (could not be identified), in Ottoman Turkish, an elaborate work on numerology with magic squares.

The alleged Sharīf lived after that for fourteen years and died in Muḥarram 1185 Hijrī (April/May, 1771) before being able to finish the alchemy process. 8. Taswīdah (folio 33b), a short alchemy recipe copied on 22 Rajab, 1230 Hijrī (30 June, 1815) by ʻAbd Allāh Muḥammad Luṭfī.

- Abstract:
- "A plainly dressed man with lank hair falling on his shoulders, bends over a dog, placing his left hand on the head of the trustful animal. With a large brush he applies a smoking liquid to its side saying, "Come here poor Dog! Thee shalt not say I called thee names, or beat thee, for that would be cruel!! but I will anoint thee with Oil, and moisten thy sides with my pure Linnement." The scene is in a yard with a high paling, outside an open door leading to the dispensing-room of the Quaker, evidently an apothecary. Just within the room is a large smoking jar of 'Oil of Vitriol'; on the door-step is a dish of smoking vitriol. Above are the neatly ranged jars, bottles, and drawers of an apothecary, with a pestle and mortar. A woman in an upper window of an adjacent house looks down into the yard; she shouts: "Ah Obadiah, that decietfull whining Cant, to allure the poor Animal, in order to inflict the most Diabolical unheard of Cruelty on him, shall not go unpunished"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- ""The Lady's Death" (after the painting by Hogarth in the National Gallery); interior of a City merchant's house near London Bridge with the countess dying in a chair, an execution broadside at her feet indicates that Silvertongue has been hanged for killing her husband; her young child (wearing a leg brace as a result of congenital syphilis) is held up for a last kiss by an old woman, while her father removes her wedding ring; an apothecary berates a simple-minded servant for procuring the laudanum with which the suicide has been effected and a doctor leaves by a door to left; the sparsely decorated room contrasts in every detail with the grand interior of Plate II of the series - chairs are heavy, the floor is bare, the clock is a simple weight-driven wall-clock, the paintings are Dutch peasant subjects, and a set of ledgers indicates that accounts are kept up to date."--British Museum online catalogue
