Abstract:: "Elderly men sit and stand, all smoking long pipes; large clouds of smoke issue from their mouths, but little or nothing comes from the bowls of their pipes. Most sit or stand silently morose; two standing men (left) appear to be puffing smoke in each other's faces. One leans back, apparently asleep, but smoking. An ugly man seated on the extreme right takes the hand of a pretty young woman who stands opposite him; he holds a large key. She slips a note into the hand of a fierce-looking military officer who stands with his back to her. On the wall (right) is a placard: 'At a general meeting of this Society, it was resolv'd by a Majority of Independent members, that any member may be Indulg'd with having the Key brought him, by his Servant or hand-maid, but on no pretence whatever be followd by that bane of good fellowship calld the White Sergeant.' Above the door are framed Rules: 'Ist No Gemman to be a member of this Society who cannot smoke three pipes at one sitting - NB no Spitting 2d No members pipe to be more than 14 Inches nor less than nine unless permitted so to do by the Landlady 3d Every member to find his own Stopper 4th Any member who puffs designedly in the face of another, to be find sixpence or be puff'd at in return by the whole company 5th All fines to be spent in Porter T. Twig Secy' On the back wall is a large print of Sir Walter Raleigh seated smoking (right) while a servant raises a bucket to fling at the smoke."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A man stands on a rostrum (left) reading nearsightedly from a book, with the expression and gesture (right fist clenched) of a ranting actor. The audience are much moved. Two men try to lift a fainting lady, resembling Mrs. Wells, from her chair (right). A man seated near her astride a bench inspects her through a quizzing-glass with amusement; his neighbour (? Topham), also astride, gapes at her with consternation. On the rostrum are two placards: 'Tomorrow | As you like it, with Select | Poems and To Night, First | Orlando Furioso, | Second | The Victim | with Part | of Mr Sheridans | Speech in | Westminster Hall' (see BMSat 7331). On the wall are three framed pictures or prints (left to right): a fox looking in at a window; an actress raising a dagger to stab herself; two cupids, one raising an axe to strike the other who lies prostrate."--British Museum online catalogue
