- Abstract
-
Charles Fox, with a helmet-like cover on his head, and a little demon standing on top of it, watches the House of Commons rise in the air after an explosion. Below the building float sheets of paper inscribed, "Pitt's India Bill" and "Mutiny Bill". A "train of false patriotism" leads from the House to Fox's feet. From his pocket hangs a letter from Louis XVI, a list of votes referring to the defeat of Pitt's India Bill and a "Satan Spe[ech]". He holds a flaming torch signed "oratory," in one hand, and the "cloak of deceit" in the other. In the center of the image a group of "conspirators" watches the explosion. Among them are Lord North, Burke dressed as a Jesuit, and Keppel with the flag with the date of the battle of Ushant on it.
