- Abstract
-
"Melville and Trotter, both in Highland dress, rush into each other's arms. Trotter waves his bonnet, that of Melville falls off. Behind Trotter (left) John Bull, an obese carbuncled 'cit', with a bludgeon under his arm, and wearing a hat, watches them in sour disapproval, saying: "I say Nothing." Trotter, his eyes turned toward John, says: "Ill trot for you - Ill gallop for you all over the globe - Oh happy day for Scotland - and see how pleas'd John Bull looks - ah Johny, Johny, this is indeed a glorious triumph!" Melville says ecstatically: "What is life without a Friend". In his exuberance he kicks over an enormous tankard inscribed with the Royal Arms and 'Whitbreads Intire Butt' ... which stood on a low table. Its contents pour to the ground: 'Impeachment', 'High Crimes', 'Misdemeanors', 'Peculation'."--British Museum online catalogue.
