"Bishop Watson of Llandaff stands in profile to the right, his arms outstretched as if preaching. He stands under an archway formed by a retort, the furnace of which is behind him (left); the neck of the retort swells into a globe above his head, then bends downwards, its bulb resting on a table or pedestal (right). A bishop (Pretyman) sits in back view (left) facing the furnace. The retort contains (above the furnace) papers inscribed 'Treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and France', and also (in the bulb which Watson faces): 'Chemical Deductions' (impolitic prejudicial to the Manufacturers / My Vote against the Treaty.' In the central bulb above his head are small etchings of 'St Paul's' and 'Lincoln' [cathedrals]; between them is etched: 'Some fancy this Promotion odd / As not the handy-work of God / Though e'en the Bishops dissapointed / Must own it made by God's anointed. Swift [i.e. Jonathan Swift].'--British Museum online catalogue
