"Robson speaks in the House of Commons, with outstretched arms: "We're all ruinated, Sir! - all diddled, Sir!! - abus'd by Placemen, Sir!!! - Bankrupts all, Sir! - not worth Sixteen Pounds, Ten Shillings, Sir! - ". From his coat pocket project bundles of papers: 'Ignorance of ye Old Administration'; 'Stupidity of ye New Administration'; 'Charges against the Ministry'. In his hat, on the seat behind him, are other bundles: 'Ministerial Tricks', 'Plunders', 'Blunders', 'Collusion'; 'Impeach[ment]'; 'Punishm[ent]'.

"The fat and clumsy William Dickinson stands on gouty legs in profile to the right, outside the open door of the House of Commons, where Addington is speaking. He stoops, holding a cane in his gloved hand, and from his closed and protruding lips issues a cloud inscribed : - "let me see - 25 Millions! how are we Ruin'd? - 10 pr Cent for my Money! - income tax taken off! - well! - well! - well! - ". [further words have been erased], behind him is the hooded chair of the door-keeper. Addington, in profile to the right, makes his budget speech; in his hand is a paper: '25 Mill. Loan'. Behind him is a crowd of undistinguished-looking members, as in BMSat 9843. Hawkesbury sits next Addington's empty seat, holding the 'Treaty [of] Peace'; his fingers are to his face as in BMSat 9843, but to his nose in place of his lip. The corner of the table is on the extreme right."--British Museum online catalogue
