"Fox stands in the House of Commons, making a speech; in his right hand he holds out a paper: 'Speech on the 'Rights of the P------'; in his left is an 'Explanation of that Speech'. He faces the table on which are piled large folios: 'Statutes at Large', 'Magna Charta', 'Principles of the Constitution', 'Rights of the People'. He says, "all these I'll devour next". Behind him on the ground are two open books: 'Jus Divinum of Kings' and 'Principles of Toryism &c.' The benches behind him are packed with intent listeners, some dismayed, some admiring. North, a bandage over his eyes, sits on the extreme right, next him is Burke. The end of the gallery (left) is visible; listeners hang over to watch Fox."--British Museum online catalogue

"Burke lies back asleep, but scowling, in profile to the left, his arms folded in an arm-chair whose seat is inscribed 'Otium cum Dignit[ate]'. The top of his head is on fire, and the smoke rising from it forms the base of the upper and larger part of the design. Immediately above his head: 'This royal Throne of Kings, this sceptred Isle This Earth of Majesty, this seat of Mars This fortress built by Nature for herself Against Infection and the hand of War This Nurse, this teeming Womb of royal Kings This England that was wont to conquer others Will make a shameful Conquest of itself Shakespeare'. The British lion stands as if supported on these lines; from his angry mouth issue the words: "I protest against Peace with a Regicide Directory Went: Fitzw." Their background is a rectangular altar, wreathed with oak leaves which forms a centre to the upper part of the design. It supports a scroll: 'Naval \ Victories \ East India \ Conquests \ &ca &ca.' Against its base is a scroll headed 'Basle' and signed 'Wyckham', the intermediate (illegible) text being scored through. Above the altar flies a dove, an olive-branch in its mouth, clutching a sealed 'Passport'. Behind and above the lion Britannia stands in back view, her discarded spear and shield beside her; she plays a fiddle, intent on a large music score: 'A new Opera \ Il Trattato \ di Pace \ Overture \ Rule Britan[nia scored through and replaced by] \ Ca Ira \ God save ye King [scored through and replaced by] The Marsellois Hymn.' The apex of the design is an Austrian grenadier, his cap decorated with the Habsburg eagle, playing a flute with melancholy fervour: 'To Arms to Arms my valiant Grenadiers.' On the left of the altar and facing Britannia and the lion stands a sansculotte, standing on a large map, one foot planted on 'Britain', the other on '[I]reland'. In his right hand is a pike bearing the head of Louis XVI (see British Museum Satires No. 8297, &c), in his left a large key labelled 'Belgium' and attached by a chain to his belt, in which is a dagger; his coat-pocket is inscribed 'Forced Loan'. He says: "I will retain what I have got and treat with you on fair Terms for what you have got". Behind him and on the extreme left stands a creature symbolizing the Dutch Republic, linked to the sansculotte by a chain round its spinal cord. It has the head of a frog wearing a bonnet-rouge, thin, spidery arms akimbo, the ribs, &c. of a skeleton (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8848), baggy breeches, and shrunken legs. It smokes a pipe with an expression of resigned despair."--British Museum online catalogue

A series of ten images showing the rise and fall of the Fox-North Coalition. In the first image, Charles Fox, shown as a fox, speaks to the crowd in front of the Covent Garden Church. In the second one, Lord North, the 'country gentleman' leading sheep on strings, makes an agreement with Fox, who leads the 'Wes[tminste]r geese' on strings. The third image shows Fox speaking to a crowd in a rotunda, while in the fourth one he is stoking a fire around a pole topped with the liberty cap and the India charter suspended from it. In the fifth image, North and Fox, sharing one coat, stand on a plinth signed, "Power." The sixth image shows Fox ascending in an air balloon while the next one shows him falling head-down into a "pitt." In the eighth image, the two politicians are being rejected by the figure of Britannia, who refuses to look at them, instead pointing to the gallows in the background. This condemnation results in their execution, together with Burke, in the ninth image. In the tenth image, all three are shown as well-known mythological sinners in Hades; Burke submerged up to his neck as Tantalus, Fox stretched on a wheel as Iion, and North as Sisyphus pushing a large boulder
