- Abstract
-
A lawyer wearing spectacles and with a feather pen in his mouth sits at a tall desk in his study while country bumkins solicit him with payment in dead animals and produce -- e.g., rabbits, fowl, and piglets. His clerk (behind him at the desk) smiles as he also writes with a feather pen. On the wall (right) hangs a map of Great Britain and above it on a bookshelves large folios with titles 'Strange reports' and 'Burn's justice'.
