"Pitt, Hastings, and Thurlow, the State Jugglers, are on a platform outside the gate of St. James's Palace. Above the gate projects the sign of the Crown inn, across which rests a plank forming a see-saw; on this the King (right) as Punch sits facing Queen Charlotte, dressed as Judy or Mother Shipton; she takes a pinch of snuff, the King holds out his hands as if in disapproval. A crowd of suppliants surrounds the platform. Pitt, bending towards them, pulls ribbons from his mouth; three men on the extreme left hold out their arms eagerly: one is a naval officer, a 'Log Book' under his arm shows that he is Sir Alexander Hood, see BMSat 5536, K.B. elect, see BMSat 7318. The second is Wilkes; the third cannot be identified. Hastings kneels between Pitt and Thurlow, his hands crossed humbly on his breast, a copious stream of coins issues from his mouth. Dundas, Lansdowne, Sydney, a bishop, and a fifth suppliant hold out their hats eagerly to catch the coins. Thurlow stands erect, his hands on his hips, flames and smoke issuing from his mouth inscribed "Hell-Fire, my Soul, Dam, Blast, Eyes, Heaven, Curse, Limbs, Blood". A little chimney-sweep [The sweep is said to represent Frederick Montagu, one of the Commissioners in Fox's India Bill. Wright and Evans.] and a ragged fishwife, a basket of fish on her head, stand gazing at him with wonder and admiration. On the extreme right, at the side of the platform, Fox, supported on the shoulders of Burke, slyly holds out his hat behind Thurlow; Sheridan (?) [Identified by Wright and Evans as the Duke of Norfolk] supports them. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"Hastings stands in a two-wheeled cart under a gibbet. Fox places the rope round his neck; Burke also stands in the cart dressed as a parson, in a long gown and bands, holding an open book. Sheridan (right) pushes the cart from behind, looking at North (left) who holds the horse's head. Large scrolls issue from the mouths of all five and are an important part of the design: Hastings says, "Walpole said every Man had his Price but Alass! I never could find out any of your Prices." Burke says "A Poor Atonement this for Millions &c." Fox says "A Poor Atonement do you call it Ned! Egad it would have been adevil of a Job for me, if my F------r had made such an atonement for------Unaccounted Millions." (Lord Holland was called in a City Address to the King 'the public defaulter of unaccounted millions'. North says, "Dont you remember Sheri------that my now Rt Honble Friend often threat'ned to bring me to this or the Block".

"An election riot. In the foreground Sheridan (left) stands over Sir Sampson Wright who kneels on the ground in abject alarm. Sheridan holds him by the collar and shakes his fist in his face; from his pocket protrudes a paper inscribed 'Drury Lane'. On the right is a party of Guards, one pierces with his bayonet Fox's posterior, drawing blood. Fox, the central figure, prances in pain and alarm, his hat falling off. Behind, Townshend (?) and Burke hold up their hands in shocked surprise. One of the Guards deliberately pierces with his bayonet the posterior of his own officer, a lean foppish man resembling the officer in BMSat 7174. The other Guards (right) carrying muskets against their shoulders watch both outrages with amusement. Behind Sheridan and on the extreme left is a man holding up a banner, inscribed 'Valiant Townsend', on which are a wine-bottle and glass and a dice-box and dice. In the background is a dense crowd represented by heads and by hats, two of which are being waved in the air. Beneath the design is etched: 'When Sampson as Justice - by Soldiers defended, Went to quell wicked Whigs who've mild peace oft offended, Bold Brindsley seiz'd on him, & swore he'd well shake him, Crying, Justice ne'er did, nor e'er should overtake him. Bow, wow, wow. Sampson down on his knees like a Saint at devotion, Drops his Jaw-Bone, - while F-x seconds Brindleys mad motion, The Guards do their duty - prick Charles - he beseeches, And alarm'd, then let's fly - thro' his sad sattin Breeches, Bow wow wow.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"A strip design of figures, generally in pairs, in the manner made popular by Bunbury's 'Long Minuet' (BMSat 7229). All attempt to imitate the bow of the Prince of Wales; the words spoken are etched above the head of the speaker. A tall thin man bows, facing a short fat one who says, "What do you think of mine, Sir". The former answers, "It won't do upon my honor." An isolated middle-aged man stoops, his left hand on his back, his right leg raised, his face contorted with pain, saying, "Oh, damn the Lumbago!" A tall thin man, whose dress imitates that of the Prince of Wales, bows, hat in hand, saying, "Monstrous like the Prince, the very bow dem me". His stout and ungainly 'vis-à-vis', dressed in the fashion of c. 1760, is a doctor with medicine-phials projecting from his coat-pocket; he bends low, saying, "Curse it, I've burst the waistband of my breeches". A man wearing a sword bows, holding his hat in both hands; he says to his 'vis-à-vis', a young Irish volunteer in regimentals, "Good God, Sir, you should take off your hat when you make a bow!" The other (the first figure on the second sheet) answers, "Arrah let a Volunteer alone, my dear, did you ever know a man fire before he presented!" A stiff, thin man, resembling BMSat 6718 (Furtado), says to a man who bows from the waist, his body almost horizontal, his long pigtail queue projecting stiffly, "You bow too low, Sir". The other answers, "And you seem to be spitted, Mr few." A Frenchman, 'chapeau-bras' and wearing a bag-wig, capers like a dancing-master, saying, "Ha! Ha! by gar poor John Bull's back will ache at this amusement". His foppishly dressed 'vis-à-vis' stiffly imitates his attitude, saying, "These tight stays will be the death of me." A plainly dressed man bends towards a boy who bows awkwardly, saying, "Vary weel, Sawny, vary like the Prince's bow!" A stout and ugly bishop (the first figure on the third sheet) with an ill-fitting wig, bowing obsequiously, his hands on his breast, faces a thin stiff man who looks at him through an eye-glass, saying, "It may do for a poor Curate presenting a Petition!" The bishop answers, "Better than yours you Pulpit Prig." Burke and Fox, both 'chapeau-bras', bow facing each other: Burke says, "Garrick's bow at the Shrine of Shakespeare was nothing to it." Fox answers, "This is to a certainty something like it." Thurlow, in Chancellor's wig and gown, bows, saying, "He take precedence of me! d-----n his bow!" (cf. BMSat 7320). He faces George Hanger, wearing regimentals, who bows, hat in hand, saying, "It would kick up the heels of chastity in Maid, Wife, or Widow.""-British Museum online catalogue
