- Abstract:
- In a London street, young boys inflict various forms of cruelty upon animals. In the centre, a boy (Tom Nero), identifiable by the badge on his shoulder as a pupil of St. Giles's Parish School, thrusts an arrow into a dog's anus; he ignores the offer of a large tart from a sympathetic young gentleman (said by Paulson to be a compliment to the young George III). To his left on the front of the balustrade, a boy draws a prophetic picture of Tom hanging from the gallows. Below Tom, another boy ties a bone to a dog's tail. In the lower left, a dog disembowels a cat. In the center foreground another boy kneels on the cobblestones, about to release a cock, as another boy prepares to a stick at it; the boy behind him holds a second cock. On the balustrade one boy holds a torch while his companion blinds a bird with a wire. Further to the left on the balustrade a group of boys laugh at the sight of two cats fight as they are hung by their tails from a gibbet-shaped lamp post. Above them a cat with a pair of wings tied to its back has been tossed out the attic window to see if it could fly

- Abstract:
- Manuscript, in a single hand with numerous corrections, of a collection of 15 letters describing life in England, translated into French, possibly from German. The letters discuss English lotteries; the proliferation of newspapers; the constitution and the difficulty of reconciling ideology with practice; Parliamentary elections; literary societies; and the nobility. One letter describes and deplores the cruelty of amusements such as hunting, cock-fighting, and "combats des gladiateurs"; another letter mocks an English law against the illegal wearing of buttons. A letter dated December 14, 1790 discusses the possibility of the abolition of the slave trade; the author declares it is the most talked-of subject of conversation and expresses his astonishment that the trade still exists and The letters are followed by a lengthy essay explaining the Women's March on Versailles on October 5-6, 1789. The volume is prefaced by a note by the translator, who criticizes the motives of many travel writers; says that he was drawn to this letter-writer for his curiosity and interest in humanity; and explains that the writer published two volumes, the first of letters written in Paris and Versailles during the revolution in 1789, and the second of letters in England

- Abstract:
- "Men and women eating in the open air, at a table, some sitting, others standing. In the background are the tents of a camp; in the middle distance (right) eight men and women holding hands are dancing in a ring. A man of grotesque appearance, one eye covered with a circular patch, sits full-face, plying a knife and fork. Behind him stands Wilkes, who is chucking a pretty maid-servant under the chin so that she spills the wine which she has just poured out. This attracts the amused attention of a man standing behind Wilkes, and of one sitting at the table. The other figures are indicated only by their heads, which are perhaps portraits: there are two women of attractive appearance, one, whose high-dressed hair is decorated with feathers, the other with a hat trimmed with a cockade and feathers; a grotesque-looking old man with unkempt hair who is drinking wine; an old man with a grenadier's cap. A man seated on the bench shows only a wig and a broad back. On the bench is also a sucking-pig which a dog is seizing. On the ground are bottles, a pile of plates, and a brimming punch-bowl. Two cocks (right) are fighting. Beneath the title is engraved "Oh what a charming Thing is eating"."--British Museum online catalogue
