- Abstract
-
"Brougham, in Chancellor's wig and gown, takes an enormous flying leap from 'York' (right), through a wide Gothic archway, over the heads of seated lawyers, and over the Table where the mace is lying, and is about to land on the Woolsack (left). The Minster and houses of York are seen through the archway; before them stand Yorkshire freeholders who watch the stride, saying, 'A pretty fellow to leave his Constituents!' Brougham, looking complacently down at the heads of those over whom he leaps, says: 'Whatever Ministry his Majesty may choose will not affect me!!! Sic itur ad Astra [Virgil Æn. ix. 601] and leave the world beneath'. Scarlett looks up, saying, 'Did you ever see such a Jump?' There are other bewigged upturned heads, including that of Eldon (left)."--British Museum online catalogue, viewed on August 6, 2025
