Abstract:
A minister, possibly the Chancellor, holds out a large magnifying glass in his right and and gestures with his left hand. He is wearing a long coat and a long powdered wig. He addresses John Bull: Look through this glass Mr Bull and behold your future prosperity, looking towards a cloud within which the future is foretold. In the cloud John Bull is depicted in seven different scenarios: drinking unadulterated porter, free from taxes, smoking Trinidad tobacco, talking French & grown quite a fine gentleman, eating cinnamon from Ceylon, free from care, and with bread at 6d the quarter loaf. John Bull says: 'what be all those people I see. Mercy on us so many good things will be more than I can bear'. His companion replies: 'Look through this glass Mr. Bull & behold your future prosperity, it magnifies but very little I assure you'.

"Fox stoops to support on his back Horne Tooke, who is about to climb into the window of 'St Stephe[n's] Chap[el]', the name on a slab over the door, partly cut off by the right margin. The door is being closed by Lord Temple, who says: "He shall not pollute this holy Temple". Tooke rests his right foot on Fox's back, his hands grasping the sill; his left toe is in a cranny in the wall above a placard headed: 'Old Sarum Dilly takes only one at the Brazenface'. He looks down at Fox, saying, "don't give way I am not quite in Yet". Fox, his head towards the door, one foot supported on a book: 'Powerfull Reasons for Non attendance', says: "Come on with you!! and mind and button your great Coat to hide the Old Cassock." Tooke's greatcoat hangs open, showing his coat, and the skirt of a short cassock over knee-breeches. On the wall beside him is a torn placard: 'A New Edition The Diversions of Purley by the Rev John H...' The keystone of the arch over the door, on the extreme right, is a satyr's head, leering at Tooke with protruding tongue."--British Museum online catalogue
