- Abstract
-
Edmund Burke kneels holding a crucifix and rosary as protection from the two ghosts of Mirabeau and Price who stand before him drapped in sheets surrounded by clouds. They hold out to him copies of his Reflections on the French Revolution, damning him for the crime of writing such opinions. An old woman on the right holds a chamber-pot under her petticoats and sprinkles Burke, "old Loyola", with the water from a feathered aspergillum asserting that "this holy water' will protect him, an old accusation that he was a cancealed Roman Catholic
