"An engraving representing Lord Holland as an old fox, seated at a table and starting back in horror from a book which is presented to him by an angel who cries: -- "This is the black Catalogue of thy Misdeeds". The book is inscribed: -- " Sins which L d H nd has committed against God his K his Country & himself"; it comprises two columns of imperfect, unconnected, and reversed words and scribble, and one legible word "Ayliff". To this word the finger of the angel is directed. For this name of a steward to the Fox family, who was alleged to have been wrongfully hanged by means of Lord Holland, see "Ayliffe's Ghost", British Museum Satires No. 4038. At the front of the table is a book inscribed, besides illegible scribble, with: -- " Accompts to be Settled in the other World"; this is an allusion to the charges of vast peculation which were brought against Lord Holland, the so-called "notorious defaulter of unaccounted millions"; see "Frontispiece to the Middlesex Petition", British Museum Satires No. 4289, and "Renard Stating his Accounts", British Museum Satires No. 4299. An imp sits at the table and acts as Lord Holland's secretary; a second imp crouches behind his chair and niches gold from a large bag."--British Museum catalogue

Abstract:
"An altered copy of British Museum Satires No. 10389. The two principal figures are substantially the same, but Mrs. Fitzherbert's expression is less subtle; she looks down at her charge with an exulting smile. The feathers in her hair are set in a fillet inscribed 'Ich Dien', her breasts are almost bare, her drapery is more swirling. Her pouch is inscribed 'Amusements for Young Minds', its contents differ, and her book is a 'Missal'. Above them (left) ls inscribed: 'Angels ever bright and fair" Take, Oh Take me to thy Care,"'. The altar is larger and closer to the ascending figures. In place of the Virgin, the Prince of Wales (half length) stands behind it, looking down at the 'Guardian-Angel'. On the altar, which is inscribed 'Sanctum Sanctorum' is an irradiated chalice. The attendant cherubs are (left) Derby, (?) Grey, Grenville; and (right) Norfolk, Burdett, and Windham. Two cherubs have descended from the circle (right) and look fixedly at close range towards the child; they are Fox and Sheridan. The rays are inscribed: 'Bulls', 'Dispensations', 'Indulgences', 'Luxuries', 'Consecrations', 'Cannonizations', 'Remissions', 'Pardons', 'Beatifications', 'Permissions'. Below the ascending pair, in place of the Pavilion, is the roof of Carlton House."--British Museum online catalogue

A tracing of a 1731 print after Hogarth: Satire on Orator Henley and his followers. A view of his Oratory in Clare Market with Henley preaching from an open-air platform in front of the building, one cloven hoof protruding from beneath his robe. A monkey wearing clerical bands holds a rope which is attached to Henley's right hand; a small chest of pills, a medicine bottle and a pamphlet lettered "The Hyp Doctor" lie at his feet. In the foreground is a procession of men, lettered, "Ha!", "Ha!", "Te Hee", "He!" and "Silly Cur"; the latter wearing a laurel wreath is identified by Hawkins as Colley Cibber, and the others, two of whom wear ruffs, may be intended as actors or clowns; a puritan at their head, is urged by Henley's "Scout" towards the door of the Oratory, outside which stands a butcher acting as doorman; inside a man pays a clergyman at "The Treasury". On the extreme left, a man squats defecating on Henley's publications. Behind him a coach bears Folly, holding her bauble, towards an inn with the sign of the dunce's cap; a gallows labelled "Merit" stands beside it and an angel holding a ribbon labelled "Modesty" flies off

Between two large pedestals, the one to the left topped with the head of George II, the one to the right with a sitting figure of George III, the Coalition ministers fall to the ground, their balance upset by a large platform, "New method of executing criminals (...)" pushed by George III with his foot. Charles Fox, who has already landed on the ground, grins announcing his intention of returning to power. Falling behind him, the frightened Lord North clutches the open "Budget" sack from which several documents fall out. Above him, Edmund Burke is about to lose his balance. The indifferent-looking George III busies himself blowing a large bubble, "Royal favour." The pedestals are inscribed, respectively, with the achievements of George II and the failures of George III
