"An elaborate symbolical clock has a dial on which the hands are represented by the arms of the Queen, who kneels within it. Canning stands within the smaller disk of the pendulum. The dial and pendulum hang from a curved bar supported on two uprights, one (left) representing the forces of the Army and Navy, the Crown and the Church, and the other the Radicals and their pikes. A fat and carbuncled John Bull, much larger in scale than the other figures, and wearing a huge judge's wig, sits astride the dial where it is surmounted by a crown; he holds a paper: 'Chief justice Bull--Jurisdiction--ad Infinitum'. On the rim of the dial: (left) 'King', 'Lords', (right) 'Commons'. The Queen kneels in profile to the right, her left arm pointing to the crown, her right towards the 'Commons'. The supports of the dial are (left) a cornucopia filled with sovereigns, and (right) a giant cap of Liberty, shaped like the cornucopia, from which project the heads of men wearing bonnets-rouges. On the cornucopia are Liverpool, holding out the 'Green Bag', see British Museum Satires No. 13735, Eldon, Sidmouth with his clyster-pipe, and a fourth Minister. On the bonnet rouge stand four of the Queen's supporters, one (apparently Wood) holding out to her a cap of Liberty. A small scene is inset below the dial, flanked by cornucopia and cap of Liberty. The Green Bag lies on a table, across which Castlereagh (left) and Brougham (right), both wearing boxing-gloves, are fighting, the former on the defensive. Each has a second, Brougham's is a second barrister (? Denman). Below this appear seven vertical rods to which the disk of the pendulum is attached. The centre one is 'Unhappy Medium'. On the left, held by cross-bands inscribed 'Golden Argument' and 'Valuable ties', are 'Royal Sunshine', 'Sinecure', and 'Tangible etcetrias'. On the right, held by 'Magnanimity' [tricolour], are 'Quixotism', 'Public Champion', and 'Radical Celebrity'. Canning stands within the disk of the pendulum, both hands held up, looking in gloomy perplexity to the left. He hesitates between the contrasted lures of the pendulum bars. He is standing between a crown and a cap of Liberty. On the left a winged infant flies off with a money-bag, inscribed '1000', saying, "Adieu!" A similar infant (right) proffers a cap of Liberty, saying, "See here Glory waits thee." Above the disk: 'The Uncertainty of all Sublunary Honors'. The design is bordered, left and right, by the two supports of the beam. On the left a jovial sailor and a handsome soldier stand on a base formed of a 'Treasury Iron Chest'. The corresponding figures on the right are two ragged ruffians with linked arms, each holding a spiked bludgeon and a dagger, who stand on a similar chest: 'Pandora's Box'. Flags are draped above the heads of both: the Royal Arms and Union Jack with a crown (left), and a tricolour flag and a (piratical) black flag (right). Above these are (left) a mitre resting on a Bible, crossed swords, and bayonets, supporting a block on which is a crown. On the opposite side are three caps of Liberty, crossed bludgeon and dagger, and pikes, supporting a block on which is yet another cap of Liberty."--British Museum online catalogue

"The King, in Chinese costume and seated on a cushion, among the chinoiseries of the Pavilion (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12749), throws up his arms in terror at the entry (right) of the Queen, closely followed by Alderman Wood. Her demure dress contrasts with that of a woman, who, much alarmed, runs off to the left from beside the King. Sidmouth (left) and Castlereagh (right), both in Chinese dress, are equally terrified, and Lord Eldon peeps anxiously from behind a little pagoda. Both visitors extend an arm towards the King in an authoritative gesture. Words float from them towards the King: 'Nothing extenuate nor set down aught in Malice [Othello, v. ii] men sleeping with her at Black Heath 1808 v. call Hoods [sic].'"--British Museum online catalogue
