Abstract:
"A soldier, apparently on sentry duty on a castle rampart, embraces a pretty young woman, holding his cloak round her. He has whiskers and a moustache and wears a busby with aigrette and bag, indicating an hussar regiment. He wears a sword but his bayonetted musket leans against the wall behind him. The girl wears a curiously shaped cap, with two tails hanging down her back. An officer walking past stops to stare and snigger; behind him is a cannon in an embrasure. In the foreground (left) is a pile of cannon-balls."--British Museum online catalogue

"A lady wearing an enormous hooped petticoat, long pointed stomacher, a calash hood (see British Museum Satires No. 5434, &c.) over a large plain cap, stands with a small nosegay in her left hand, and with a closed fan held to her cheek.

The congregation eagerly hasten to contribute handsomely, making various remarks (e.g.) 'Ecod thats a capital manœuvre it's worth a pound note already.'

Abstract:
"A fat lady, much décolletée, whose hair is blazing, in her frantic gestures has overturned a chair; tea- and coffee-things lie on the ground. Screaming servants rush in from the right, headed by two footmen; one holds up a table-cloth to fling over her head, but is hampered by his companion, a negro, who flings the liquid contents of a (?) large flowerpot in her face, but stands on the cloth. A fat cook follows; a pretty young woman kneels on the ground throwing up her arms, a dog howls. Four older servants look through the doorway. Two candles, the cause of the disaster, blaze on the chimneypiece where a clock shows that it is 2.25."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

A copy of the companion print to BMSat 8656. "Grenville stands on a hearth-rug, his back to a blazing fire (right), holding up to his face an open book inscribed: 'Fundamental Principles of Government for 1795', at which he looks sideways and near-sightedly. He raises his coat-tails to warm his bulky posteriors, his left hand in his breeches pocket. On the chimney-piece lie two books: 'Court Cookery' and 'Locke on Human Understanding'. Hanging above it is a 'Map of British Victories on the Continent' on which confused scrawls are depicted. On the back wall (left) is a bracket supporting a bowl of gold-fish, above which is a picture of the 'Treasury Bench': three Ministers seated as if in Parliament, in back view with their coats drawn aside to show their bulky posteriors; the wall of the Treasury forms a background. Beneath the title is etched in two columns: '"Lord-Pogy boasts no common share of head; "What plenteous stores of knowledge may contain "The spacious tenement of Pogy's brain! "Nature in all her dispensations wise, "Who form'd his head-piece of so vast a size, Hath not, 'tis true, neglected to bestow Its due proportion on the part below; And hence we reason, that to serve the state His top & bottom, may have equal weight."'"--British Museum online catalogue, original version published by Hannah Humphrey
