A satire, divided into quarters, with four small scenes of different episodes of persons trying to collect their Christmas boxes. In the first square in the upper left, a plump supplicant in an apron holds out his hat to a scowling-faced man with a kerchief tied over his hat and a walking stick under his arm as they meet in a road outside a building with a lamp. Behind him on the wall is a sign posted "Miser'. In response to the request, the miser says "Give you a Christmass box. Curse you don't I pay you for your meat." On the top row, right, a thin man (a grave digger?) with a pipe in his mouth, bows to an obese clergyman, with a fat dog at his heel, as they stand in the graveyard of a church. The gravedigger asks, "Most worthy Parson give me a Christmass box." The Parson replies, "Give you a halter you rascal. What should I give you a Christmass box for." In the lower left, clergyman shakes his walking stick at a surprised man who is carrying a large box on his back and secured with a strap over his forehead. The clergyman says to the laborer, "If you ever ask me for a Christmass box again, I'll physic you to death." They are standing in front of building with a lantern and sign that reads "Gargle Apothycary." The fourth square, lower right, shows old, hag-faced woman with a hat and muff standing in a parlor as she slaps the face of an astonished footman. She tells him, "Take that you saucy rascal for a Xmass box!" He replies, "What's that for. I did not want a box on the ear, not I."

"Sheridan stands in profile to the left, with fallen jaw and disconcerted expression, before a hoarding across the front of Carlton House, in which is a lion's-head knocker which looks fiercely at him. Over the hoarding appear the huge hands, head, and shoulders of Big Sam, the (former) porter at Carlton House (see British Museum Satires No. 7905), wearing a round hat with a curled brim and the motto 'Ich dien'. He looks down, saying, "no Admittance Sir We are all loyal". On the hoarding (right) are two play-bills: 'Drury Lane The Second Part of King Henry the IV .... The Manager in Distress' (by George Colman, 1780, here an allusion to Sheridan's position); 'Covent Garden Venice preser[ved] or a Plot discove[red]' (Otway, 1682)."--British Museum online catalogue

"Stanhope, striding forward in profile to the left, approaches an altar to 'French Principles', while with his left foot and left hand he overturns a bishop seated behind him on a bench. On the summit of a quasi-cylindrical altar is the seated figure of a female monster with webbed wings, snaky hair, and pendent breasts, a firebrand in the right hand, a dagger in the left. Behind her stands a foppish Frenchman with a simian head, dressed as a soldier, one foot resting on a large skull. In his right hand is a headsman's axe, in his left he holds out to Stanhope a hangman's noose. Stanhope places on the altar a paper inscribed in large letters: 'Philosophy Atheism Rapine Murder'. The altar itself is decorated with a headsman's axe and block, the word 'Liberté' in a wreath, and shackles. At its foot lie a cross and an overturned chalice. The bishop's head is turned in back view; he topples backwards as Stanhope kicks his bench; he represents the bench of bishops ..."--British Museum online catalogue
