"Members of the Opposition in a row, talk in couples, except for the arch-egotist Erskine (see British Museum satires no. 9246) on the extreme left, who exclaims: "Peace - and I not consulted 'tis very strange, by Gad". Sheridan (left), seated in profile to the right, reads the 'Gazzette Extraordina[ry] Peace! Peace!' with an expression of dismay. He says: "It is here, sure enough, I can scarcely believe my eyes, then all my fine speeches respecting the continuance of the War is dish'd, its no farce." Burdett stands with legs astride looking down at him; he says: "O it can't be true depend upon it." The centre pair, Fox and Bedford, face each other in profile. Fox says: "This is a curious kind of business. I heard of it at the Crown and Anchor." Bedford, in top-boots, and a riding whip under his arm, answers: "I heard of it in Bedfordshire." On the right little Lord Derby turns to Tierney, asking, "Pray who is this Peace Maker - this Mr A- Ad, Ad, what's his name, I never can think of it dam my Wig" [he is almost bald, with a tiny pigtail]. Tierney, looking down morosely, his arms folded, answers: "I really cannot immediately recollect, but I know he is not one of us - however we can find it in the Red Book"."--British Museum online catalogue
