Reduced copy, from "The mountebank" (British Museum catalogue no. 3854), with out the inscriptions on the papers. The charletan's speech ends with : .. See here my lads heres the Golden Lozenges which will cure ye all make ye hauld up yr. heads and turn out mucle southern loons. A crowd mostly wearing Scotch plaid assemble on a mountebank's stage, bowing to him. Behind a line of curtains suggest a bed and a box of treasure on the floor. Lord Bute is the charlatan and stands holding money bags in each hand. A middle aged woman in a Welsh hat (the Princess of Wales) looks from between the curtains and listens with pleasure to the charlatan. The zany of the quack is a gaunt man in a Scotch plaid dressing gown and a tall fool's cap and holding a copy of "The Briton" under his arm and a horn in his girdle

Abstract:
"Satire on peace negotiations with France to end the Seven Years War with Lord Bute (Gisbal) seated on a hill holding the muzzled British lion. He takes the royal prerogative in ordering the Duke of Bedford (shown as headless with eagle's wings) to haste to negotiate with the kings of France and Spain. The French king demands "Canada, & Martinique, & Guadalupe, Senegal, & Goree, & Newfoundland, & Pondicherry; & you shall have all Hanover ...", while the Spanish king is prepared to refrain from attacking Portugal in return for Havana and his "Dollars"; two mocking Frenchmen look on. On the left, Britannia weeps and Pitt tries to comfort her while two other Englishmen complain of Bute's rise to power. Verses above warn against a too hasty peace treaty."--British Museum online catalogue
