- Abstract
-
"Hibernia lies on the ground with her harp broken. On a table (left) are two money bags, one full and labelled "Exchequer", the other decorated with the Irish harp and almost empty. Into this Lord North is plunging his hand while an African with outstretched hand says: "Don't forget poor Mungo my good Ld N------h". A man in hat and laced coat is trampling on Hibernia, saying to a bystander: "Sr George we must keep her down". Sir George [Macartney] answers: "Ay my Ld T------d. [Townshend] and exert ourselves or she will be too Strong for us"."--British Museum online catalogue
