- Abstract:
- "Men seated round a table, drinking, smoking, and reading newspapers. On the right. an artisan, wearing a flat cap and apron, drinks from a tankard while he reads 'The Morning Post'. Next him a man in back view reads 'The Daily Adver[tiser]', a monkey sitting on his shoulder, pulls the string-like queue of his ill-made wig. Next (l.), an elderly man in an arm-chair, wearing spectacles and a cap, holds up his hand as if to demand attention; he reads 'The London Chronicle', on which is inscribed "It is reputed that nixt [sic] sessions of Parliament, there will be a tax laid upon horn'd Cattle"; his neighbours listen to the news with expressions of consternation. The farther side of the table is crowded; one man reads 'The Evening Post', another the 'London Gazette', on which is inscribed "Extract of a Letter from America". Beneath the design is engraved: "With staring Eye, & Open Ear, Each Cobling, Horned, City seer, Swallow's down Politics with Beer. Neglects his Family & Calling. To enter into Party Brawling. Gets Drunk & Swears - the Nation's falling."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A scene of disorder; men sitting and standing round a circular table; they are smoking, gesticulating and drinking. A very fat man, seated on the farther side of the table, wearing a hat and smoking, his hands folded, says,"we want men of Activity". His neighbour, also smoking, adds "To destroy all their Looms". The next man (left), clenching his fists, says, "Blood & Guts, what are we all about - our Armys are grazing in Idleness, like a Flock of Sheep till they die of the Rot - I'd send them to Slaughter all the Cattle on the Enemy's Coast & make the Papist Scoundrells keep a long Lent of it". A man (right) holding up a foaming tankard, says "Old England will never be conquer'd while we can Brew such Drink as this". A barber, a comb stuck in his hair, an implement for curling hair protruding from his pocket, leans back in his chair, saying, "We're all in the Suds - I could shew them a way to lower their French Toupees". On his right stands the figure of 'Prattle' (Atkinson of Pall Mall), as in BMSat 5603 but in reverse. He is saying, "Beg your Pardon my Dr Sir, meant no Offence my Dr Mr Tallow - too much Love & Respect - your Perfectly in the Right - of the same Opinion of my Led & I - they'll never Invade us as you say & my Lud Chatter observed to me the other Night at Lady Carbuncles". He is addressing a stout man standing on the left of the table, who flourishes a stick in his right hand while with a blow from his fist he overturns a punch-bowl, having upset a tankard, a lemon, and a number of wineglasses which are falling to the ground. He says "Dont Talk to me of your Dukes & your Lords, I'm a True Born Englishman, & dont care for Nobody not I - they dare not invade us - Damme they dare not - you Glister Pipe, you pitiful Plaister Spreader You------". A dog barks at him. A thin and rather ragged-looking man on his right, his hands in his breeches pockets, says "Invade us - Damme, what can Soup Meager do against Beef & Plumb Pudding"; a pair of scissors projecting from his coat-pocket shows that he is a tailor; his stockings are ungartered and his shoes are unbuckled. On the extreme left an elderly man with a tie-wig and wearing a hat and pince-nez, sits in a chair reading a newspaper; he holds up a hand in dismay saying, "All's lost". Behind stands a waiter, his napkin under his arm, saying "Dr Prattle says right - I'll go over to the Opposition and never drink another Pot with my Lords Footman". Hats are hung up on the wall, and a bracket-clock shows that it is one o'clock."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A procession of bishops and clergy march from left to right. headed by a prelate, evidently Archbishop Markham, on a prancing horse, holding a drawn sword. After him walk two boy choristers chanting from an open music book held between them. One sings "O Lord our God, Arise", the other, "Scatter our Enemies". Next come three bishops: a lean ascetic who carries their standard, between two who are stout and gross. On the standard, which is attached to a crozier, is "To Arms O Israel", and a mitre between two crossed croziers. The prelate on the standard-bearer's left sings, "Give us good Beef in Store", the other, who carries a musket on his shoulder, sings "When that's gone, send us more". Behind them a fat bishop sings "And the Key of the Cellar Door", while the cleric next him, who wears an academic gown and cap, sings "That we may drink". Behind, the mitres of more bishops are visible, and a man in academic cap and gown, who sings, "From Labour & Industry - Good Lord deliver us".'--British Museum online catalogue

- "A satire on "hireling constables", that is, on constables who were paid as substitutes for parishioners who were bound to serve annually without pay. The interior of a watch-house, where the constable of the night sits in an armchair, wearing a hat and holding a long staff. Watchmen are bringing in persons arrested during the night, others sit or stand about; some are smoking. All the figures have the heads of apes. A watchman bringing in a young woman shows the constable his broken lantern. He is followed by a watchman bringing in a well-dressed young man. Other watchmen, with a woman wearing an apron, are seen through a large open doorway; behind them are buildings and the tower of Westminster Abbey. On the top of the door, which opens inwards, sits a large owl. A large fire blazes. The room is lit by a lantern hung from the roof and two large candles. Large flagons of drink are in evidence. Verses (eighteen lines) are engraved beneath the design, whose tenor is that the young woman is used by the constable as a decoy, the man is charged (falsely) with having assaulted the watch and broken the lantern. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
