- Abstract
-
Dr. Price, seated in a armchair at a writing desk strewn with papers and quill pens, turns his head, a startled look on his face, as he confronts the enormous spectacled face of Edmund Burke peering at him, his long nose resting on the back of Price's chair. Burke holds in his hands a crucifix and crown and balances on his head a copy of his book "Reflections on the revolution in France". Two books lay on the floor-- "Treatise on the ill effects of Order & governance in Society" and "Sermon preached Novr. 4, 1789 ... before the Revolution Society."
