- Abstract:
- "Satire on Lord Camden alleging that he had abandonned his liberal principles on becoming Lord Chancellor. Camden, on the left, in his Chancellor's robes is aghast at the appearance of the ghost of his former self when Lord Chief Justice. He holds out a book lettered, "Lex Temporis" and papers lie beside him referring to supposed corrupt practices, "Grants / Reversion / Irish Pensions / Patent of Peerage / Non obstante [licence from the Crown]", and a scroll falls in front of him lettered, "is but 40 days Slavery at outside", a reference to his support of an embargo on corn export for forty days; his mace and purse (lettered "Latent Power") lie on a bench draped with tartan together with a letter reading "... your A--s] & your mace in ye Kennel within a fortnight by G[od] / yours Tom Tilbury [Lord Northington, Camden's predecessor as Lord Chancellor]". Behind the Lord Chancellor is a chair with arms and legs made of boots, upholstered in tartan and with thistles around its back; an oval lportrait showing Lords Bute and Chatham is on the back with the motto "Arcades Ambo"(two of a kind); a boot and Pitt's crutch are tied together and resting ont he back of the chair; burning papers on the cair are lettered "Negabimus / Magna Farta" and "vendemus Justitiam". The ghost holds out a book lettered "Lex Terra"; a scroll falling in front of him reads "The liberty of an English Dw[e]l[ling] cannot be estimated" (a paraphrase of his statement against General Warrants in the John Wilkes case). William Beckford, Camden's former ally, is shown creeping under the bench saying "Hide me ye Sugar Casks", a reference to his wealth from sugar plantations in Jamaica. A row of portraits on the wall show from the left: Lord Northington, Judge Jeffreys, Beckford, Sec[re]t[ary Astley, Chatham, L[or]d S[-]d and William Scrogg[s]; in front of the portraits is a book shelf containing, "Filmer's Patriarcha / Argu[men]t for Ship Money / Judg[ment] ag[ain]s[t] Hamden / Froit Le Roy / Prerogatives Regli / Grotius English Law"."--British Museum online catalogue and Pictures amplifying subject: portraits of various officials
