A design in five compartments, each occupied by a figure in profile to the right. Above each is an inscription. On the extreme left is a parson preaching from a pulpit; the head of the precentor appears in his desk beneath. Inscribed: 'I pray for all'. Next an advocate in his gown, his right hand raised: 'I plead for all'. Next a corpulent well-dressed man, holding up a sickle in his right hand: 'I maintain all'. Next is a still more corpulent military officer with a drawn sword: 'I fight for all'. Next is the Devil, prancing among flames, his talons extended: 'I take all'.

The agitated George III, a trowel in his hand, watches Charles Fox, as a fox, with the "liberty" ribbon draped accross his back, leap over the "vanity pit" (William Pitt) in pursuit of a pack of hounds. In Fox's mouth is the judge's cloak that he pulled off the bewigged and snarling hound (Lord Thurlow). A column inscribed, "to Eastern tyranny," topples down upsetting the male figure of Injustice who holds a sword and a pair of scales. The fox urinates on one of the lanterns that symbolize conspiracy. Behind it, Boreas (Lord North) succeeds in blowing down the "Temple of secret influence" (Lord Temple).
