"A satirical representation of the duel between the Duke of York and Lennox. The Duke (left), calm and dignified, fires his pistol in the air; Lennox (right), his knees bending in obvious alarm, holds a pistol in each hand, saying, "I hope your H--gh--ss is satisfied now that I am a Man of Honor, by my firing thro' your hair? & that you will retract the opinion of my being a Coward". The Duke, whose hat is on the ground, answers, "Satisfied? yes I am satisfied! that your whole race are a set of dastards! - & you may fire at me till the day of Judgment, e'er I will retract my opinion - or honor a Coward, by putting him out of the World!" The seconds stand behind their principals: 'Lord Raw--n', in profile to the right, a pistol in each hand, says, "Gunpowder is disgrae'd when used upon such reptiles! make them eat their own words, till they are choak'd, thats the way to quiet Charles's-bastard-brood" (cf. BMSat 7507); 'Lord Wine--l--a' (right), looking very frightened, holds an arsenal of pistols under his left arm, a blunderbuss in his right hand, saying, "Would that I had not meddl'd in the business, or, that I could get over to the other side." All wear military uniform; Winchilsea was a Lord of the Bedchamber, Lennox Lt.-Col. in the Coldstream, the Duke's regiment. In the background stands an empty post-chaise."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two doctors (left) stoke the fires of a row of seven cylindrical vessels or furnaces from which their patients (half length) emerge. These recede slightly in perspective from right to left. On the extreme right is Burke ('B------e'), drooping dejectedly, and saying, "By Jasus I have got no Juice left". Next him Fox ('F--x') declaims, hat in hand, "I have sweated enough. Sheridan ('S------n') gesticulates furiously with clenched fists, saying, "This is Scandalous the Baily's have sufficiently sweated me" (executions in Sheridan's house were frequent). Next him is the Prince ('P------'), clasping his hands, and saying, "I suppose they call this a Regency Sweat". A young woman on his right, 'Mrs J------n', (? Jordan) says "I sweat with desire". Next is ('W------e') Weltje (cf. BMSat 7509), saying, "I never sweat so much at Cooking in all my Life". On the extreme left Mrs. Fitzherbert ('F--T--T'), her arms extended in a frenzy, says, "And I with Jealousy what disregard the Marriage Rights". On the ground, below their patients, are the two doctors: Willis on the extreme left, indicated by his clerical bands, holds coal on a shovel, while Dominicetti, wearing a nightcap, kneels on one knee to stir up the furnace under Sheridan with a long poker. On the right is a 'Coal Tub'. Clouds of steam rise from the baths."--British Museum online catalogue
