"Sheridan and Fox are prisoners behind a bar on which they lean. Burke towers above them, with a stern frown, seizing each by the hair. He says: ""Behold the abettors of Revolutions, see "the authors of Plots & conspiracies, & take cognizance of the enemies of both "Church & State; - "I know them all, & have a while upheld, the unyok'd "humour of their Wickedness," - I have bore [sic] with them 'till the measure "of their iniquity is full; but now, I will bare them before ye Justice of injured "humanity, - I will prove unequivocally, that there exists at the present "moment, a junto of Miscreant Jacobites [sic], who are aiming at the Over-"throw of the British Constitution" - Vide Burkes Speech on the Quebec Bill - ". Sheridan (left) in profile to the left, his hands clasped, says with a terrified expression, "Ha! what's that? miscreant Jacobites! - plots Conspiracies! Revolution! - O! Damnation! we're all found out! - ah Joseph! Joseph! I fear you've brought up your Neck for a fine Collar!" Fox (right), his head bowed under Burke's hand, his handkerchief to his eyes, says, "O the devil! I'm quite overcome, & stupified with Grief! to think that the Man who has been my dearest Friend, and my Chum in all infamy, for Twenty five years, should now turn Snitch at last! good-lack-a-day!"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Fox stands full face, his arms extended; these arms are the branches of a tree, and his body is its trunk. The two branches fork into the boughs of a weeping-willow, whose foliage forms an arch above Fox's head, and hangs nearly to the ground. Tears fall from his eyes and pour in a stream down the trunk of the tree, forming a pool at its feet."--British Museum online catalogue

"The King steps forward to embrace the Prince of Wales, who throws himself into his father's arms, saying, "against Heaven - and before thee, and am no more worthy------" (the words fade out). George III wears court dress, the Prince's dress is tattered and dishevelled, his pocket hangs inside out, the garter at his knee - 'Honi soit' - is loose. Behind the King stands the Queen on the door-step, half-smiling, her arms outstretched. Two pleased princesses look over her shoulder. Just outside the door stand Pitt and Moira watching the reconciliation, Pitt with a benign expression, Moira more doubtfully; both wear footmen's court-livery, of military cut; Moira wears jack-boots. Pitt holds a paper: 'New Union Act Britains best Hope', implying that he is the author of the 'Union'. Moira holds Pitt's arm. Beside the house (right) are a tree and a balustrade, against which grow a rose-bush and a thistle."--British Museum online catalogue, description of the Gillray print of which this is a copy and "A close copy by Williams, with additions, apparently ante-dated ... Behind the Prince Lord Dartmouth, Lord Chamberlain, stands full face, holding his wand, his gold key attached to his coat. Pitt and Moira turn their eyes slyly towards each other: both weep large burlesqued tears, as do the Queen and Dartmouth."--British Museum online catalogue
