- Abstract
-
Lord North, Charles Fox, and Edmund Burke, holding hands, dance around a post surmounted by a bust with the face covered by a volume entitled, "Whole duty of man." A ribbon identifying the bust as "K. Wisdom 3rd," hangs around the post. An owl is perched on the bust's head. Burke, dressed in a monastic garb and a biretta holds a volume open to the title "Little Red Riding Hood", an allusion to one of his speeches. A demon, seated on a rock at the foot of the post, plays the dance tune on his fiddle
