'A Military Camp in St. James' Park During the Gordon Riots, 1780', c1783, (1944). Troops were stationed in St James's Park, Westminster, London, as a response to the Gordon Riots, several days of unrest based on anti-Catholic feeling. There was widespread rioting and looting, including attacks on Newgate Prison and the Bank of England. The army moved in and started shooting, resulting in an estimated 300-700 deaths. From "British Soldiers', by S. H. F. Johnston. [Collins, London, 1944]
