"A companion print to BMSat 8279. An elderly man, obese and grotesque, stands on a rostrum (right), reading through a single eye-glass held in his right hand. His audience (of men and women, with one small boy who eats an apple) sit and stand: a bench stretches across the foreground on which three persons (left) sit in back view, the other seven, full-face, turn their backs on the reader. Two elderly men, much amused, sit with their backs against the rostrum; the other listeners are standing. The design is crowded, with thirty-seven figures, nearly all fully characterized, some slightly caricatured. On the back wall is a print of John Gilpin losing his hat and wig, cf. BMSat 6886, &c. On the rostrum is a placard: 'Select Poems from | Peter Pindar | Don Quixote & | Tristam [sic] Shandy.'"--British Museum online catalogue

Eight figures in two rows are depicted reading Thomas Paine's pamphlet The Rights of Man, each gesturing dramatically and each with a lengthy quote above his head either praising or denouncing the ideas expressed. On the top row are Edmund Burke (reading the passages referring to himself), Charles Fox, George III, and Charles Jenkinson. In the second row, Queen Charlotte, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, William Pitt, and Richard Sheridan seem to address each other in a similarly lively debate of contrasting responses to Paine's arguments
