Abstract:
"Melville, in Highland dress (left), stoops, holding open a sack from which issues an endless procession of pigmy Scots, receding in perspective to disappear under a high Gothic doorway, inscribed 'Saint Stephens'. The little Scots march out of the bag like an army of occupation, with an eager, hungry air. Some wear plain, others feathered, bonnets; one has bagpipes under his arm, another a broad-sword. John Bull (right), a yokel in shirt and breeches, holding a cudgel, looks down at them, saying, "Dang it, what a swarm of them there be - enough to cause a famine in any christian country." Melville says: "There ye are my bonny Lads - mak the best o' your way the door is open - and leave a Scotsman alaine to stick in a place gin he once gains an entrance!" Saint Stephens, the House of Commons, is between a high crenellated wall (right) and the façade of a neo-Gothic building with crenellated roof, oriel windows above an arcade, and turrets."--British Museum online catalogue, description of alternate state

Abstract:
"The Prince of Wales lies on his back on an operating-table (cf. BMSat 7512), wearing his feathers as a coronet. Members of the Ministry holding knives surround the Prince; their operations are directed by Pitt, who is seated in a throne-like chair raised above the others. He points with a long wand at the Prince's star, saying to Dundas, "The good Qualities of his heart will certainly ruin our plan therefore cut that out first". Dundas holds a knife, looking up at Pitt, as if to read a paper which he holds out: 'Thanks from the City of London with £50,000'. Next Dundas, and at Pitt's feet, sits Sydney, holding a knife, and looking ferociously at the Prince. In an armchair by the Prince's feet sits Grafton, staring fiercely at the Prince, and holding a knife in each hand. His left foot rests on a basket containing surgeon's tools; a pair of shears and a saw lie beside it. Beside Grafton and on the extreme left stands Richmond, also glaring fiercely at the Prince; he holds a headsman's axe. At the Prince's head, seated with folded arms and closed or lowered eyes is Thurlow (right), his position indicative of his temporizing attitude, see BMSat 7377. The Prince's left arm droops over blank papers, which appear to be intended for some inscription."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Pitt rides (right to left) a zebra; he sits on the animal's hind quarters, flourishing a whip; before him are two panniers filled with jewels, one inscribed 'Rights and Wrongs'. From the zebra's neck hangs a large jewel inscribed 'Bulse'. He says, "I have thrown off the Mask. I can blind the people no longer and must now carry every thing by my bought Majority." The zebra (the Queen) is led by Dundas (left) [Identified by Miss Banks as Thurlow: the resemblance to either is inconclusive, though pointing to Thurlow, but the inscription indicates Dundas.] and urged on by Richmond (right), who prods it with a goad. It says, "What are Childrens rights to Ambition - I will rule in spite of them if I can conceal things at Q." [Kew.] In front of Dundas (left) is a signpost: "To Tower Hill by B------m [Buckingham] house". Dundas turns his head to shout at Pitt: "So many Scotchmen have left their heads behind in this d------d tower for treason I begin to tremble as much as thief in the rear for my own." Richmond, noted for his unfailing support of Pitt, says, "Skulking in the rear out of sight suits best my character." Behind him (right) is a cannon."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Melville and Trotter, both in Highland dress, rush into each other's arms. Trotter waves his bonnet, that of Melville falls off. Behind Trotter (left) John Bull, an obese carbuncled 'cit', with a bludgeon under his arm, and wearing a hat, watches them in sour disapproval, saying: "I say Nothing." Trotter, his eyes turned toward John, says: "Ill trot for you - Ill gallop for you all over the globe - Oh happy day for Scotland - and see how pleas'd John Bull looks - ah Johny, Johny, this is indeed a glorious triumph!" Melville says ecstatically: "What is life without a Friend". In his exuberance he kicks over an enormous tankard inscribed with the Royal Arms and 'Whitbreads Intire Butt' ... which stood on a low table. Its contents pour to the ground: 'Impeachment', 'High Crimes', 'Misdemeanors', 'Peculation'."--British Museum online catalogue
