A vicious satire on the life and works of Philip Thicknesse, writer and soldier, dedicated to a number of Thicknesse's most prominent enemies: Lord Thurlow, the Earls of Camde, Bute, Bathurst, and Coventry as well as Thicknesse's own sons Baron Audley and Philip Junior. Minerva bursts from Thicknesse's head; on her shield is a damning list of his "Acts of Courage & Wisdom," including running from his command in Jamaica, extorting money, refusing to fight Lord Orwell, debauching his own niece, and horsewhipping his daughter to death
