Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of Eighty, commonly known as Barnaby Rudge, is an historical novel by Charles Dickens. Barnaby Rudge was one of two novels that Dickens published in his short-lived weekly serial Master Humphrey's Clock, which lasted from 1840 to 1841, when the book was published. It was Dickens' first attempt at an historical novel, his only other being A Tale of Two Cities.

Joseph Yeager (1792-1859) was a Philadelphia based American engraver active in the first half of the 19th century. His first engravings are dated 1808-1809. In 1816-1849, he maintained his own engraving company in Philadelphia. Yeager specialized on maps, painting reproductions and book illustrations. His most notable works are engraving depicting the Battle of New Orleans - two years after the event, maps for the American Atlas (Carey & Lea); and John Marshall's "Life of Washington."
