 John Toland was one of the 18th Century Commonwealthmen who agitated for limited constitutional government between the Glorious Revolution in 1688 and the American Revolution. In the edition of James Harrington's collected works which he edited he included a lengthy biographical introduction and this engraving (scroll to bottom of the page). It shows a seated figure with a sceptre under pictures of important law givers and defenders of liberty (from top left to right): Moses, Solon, Confucius, Lycurgus, Numa, Brutus and Gulielmus.
