- Abstract:
- "A magistrate sits behind his table listening intently to the angry harangue of a naval officer (right) who faces the accused (left), demure-looking, plainly-dressed woman, wearing a checked apron tucked round her waist, but evidently a prostitute. She is supported by two keen-looking lawyers. The officer, who is paunchy and wears very wide white trousers, stands with legs apart, right arm extended with pointing forefinger. He shouts: No. No. I've found my Breeches, but consider your Worship how I shall be Quized--The L--d H--h-A--l knows all about it. I never was before the Public but once, shant forget that in a hurry--Yes--yes I found the breeches, but where's my Silver Gilt Trafalgar Medal eh? I'll have it if it costs me a Thousand Pounds. I could'ent live without it. Ay Ay she's the Thief but I will not hang her unless your worship wishes it--If I had her aboard my Ship D--n me I'de give her a round dozen--I would. Behind him stand a footboy in livery and two rough-looking men. The woman extends both arms and says pathetically I never robbed you Sir. The lawyer says: There's no proof you cant Harm--her."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The Devil (right), in the foreground and much larger than the other figures, stands Asmodeus-like on a house-top (cf. British Museum Satires No. 16160), overturning with a long pole a dinner-table and upsetting the guests who fall on clouds of Dust. He is a grotesque muscular creature with goat's legs, barbed wings and tail, and looks round with a triumphant grin at the spectator. The guests are also assailed by harpies, little winged men, whose bodies terminate in barbed and scaly tails. One of these (Corder), holding a long bill which rises into the air above him, assails a man (Roach) mounted on a cockroach and holding up a book inscribed Parish Acct; he is The Grand Carver mounted on his Cockroach.; from the cockroach's antennae hang two big keys, and it emits a tail-blast inscribed We are of the Select, against his assailant. The latter holds out a paper inscribed Majority 7 and says am I not the Elect. Another harpy holding out a constable's staff flies menacingly towards the cockroach, saying, By St Thomas I cheque this. Roach exclaims: I tell you it's all a farce so we have taken the liberty to Cribb the Books Keep the Keys tight Cockey. A third harpy threatens the feast with a pair of spurred cavalry boots, saying you will Do-Well to give in, showing he is T. W. Dow (a boot-maker of York Street, Covent Garden. P.O. London Directory, 1822), see British Museum Satires No. 15528. A fourth has seized a paunchy Vestryman by the nose; the victim screams Oh my Nose--Rose Water rose water--oh oh oh-- From the table fall birds, hare, tureen, decanter, pineapple, &c. The dust forms a background, and is inscribed Dust for the Eyes of the Parishioners; looming through it is the façade of St. Paul's, Covent Garden. The bill held by Corder is headed Dinners. The items are Richardson £8-5, Hodgson & Gan £47-11-0, wine 5. 3. 0.

Between them on the ground are the heads of a unicorn and a lion which is being gnawed by a crow and a rat. Wellington in full uniform straddles the two men who support him. Between his legs a plaque on the pyramid reads: "Multum in parvo, or the British Constitution formerly consisting of the three estates, King, Lords, Commons, abridged into an elegant extract in one volume!"

- Abstract:
- "The freeholder, a ragged Irish peasant, stands full-face, between a bloated priest (left) and a fashionably dressed young man; both tug at his coat-collar. The obese priest, who wears robes, with a large cross from neck to knee, holds up a print of the Devil smoking a pipe, in the bowl of which sits a tortured man; he says: Vote for your Priest or see this picture of your Soul in the next world. The other points behind him to an eviction scene, saying, Vote for your Landlord or see the real consequence in this World. In the background is a cluster of mud huts placarded Wanted Protestant Tenants for these Cabins. Men chase away a ragged family in one direction, and a pig in the other. Freeholder: Sure I'm bother'd [cf. BM Satires No. 8141] hadent I better be after voten for both your honors id would make the thing asier aney how. In one hand is his shillelagh, in the other his hat with a tobacco-pipe thrust in it."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Cockaigne, shewing "Cousin Tummas" a "Lions" den--' A view of Crockford's with riders, carriages, and pedestrians in the roadway. From the opposite pavement of St. James's Street a cockney points it out to a countryman. On the roof is a (symbolical) pigeon-cote on which perches a rook, while pigeons circle round it. Below: 'That's one of the London "Hells" Coz!"--"No sure! why what a nice looking place!!--Well; no wonder so many people do go to the Devil if he a' gotten such Foine Housen!!--' See No. 15934, &c. [2] "Legs" famous for "Cutting" & "Shuffling". Three gamesters stand together, all with long black legs, no body, and the heads of birds (rooks) with predatory beaks. Legs = blacklegs. Jon Bee, Slang, 1823. Cf. No. 14399, &c. [3] "I could a tale unfold". A pig with a curly tail. [4] 'Any thing but Fair play!' A duel, a very broad fat man fires at an absurdly thin one (who does not fire). [5] 'The Abode of Genius'. A ramshackle attic with a mattress on the floor under a sloping roof, across which socks are hung on a line. A man in ragged clothes of fashionable intention sits at a small table struggling with a piece of food held between teeth and fork. He says: 'To call this a tender Chuck Steak! & charge me two pence half-penny for it!!--I've a great mind to go & Chuck it in his face!--Aye!--its a fine thing to be a Genius!!!!!' Below: "My lodging is on the cold ground, / And very hard is my fare;"-- The distressed poet, a standard theme, cf. (e.g.) Nos. 12139, 15641. [6] "House of Industry"-- [Workhouse.] A cobbler, his wife, and three small children are hard at work in a miserable room. She: 'If you get paid for them shoes shall us have a bit of meat on Sunday?-- ' He: 'Why--I dont know what to say to that--you know we had meat last Sunday!--we must not be extravagant.' Below: "A Cobler there was & he lived in a Stall / which served him for Parlour & Kitchen & hall"!--"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "[1] "Ignorance is bliss --" Two liveried flunkeys, 'pampered menials', lounge on the doorsteps of a town house, a bloated dog seated between them. One asks his obese companion 'What is Taxes Thomas?!!' Answer: 'I'm sure I don't Know!' Inside the hall a grossly fat porter sleeps in his hooded chair. [2] 'Gentility!--' A little chimney-sweep, decked out in ribbons, and holding brush and shovel, addresses another 'climbing boy': 'vhy I say Jim ar'nt you a gooing out with Jack & the Green?!!' The other: 'No. Master says as how its werry low -- Ve ar all a going to dine with the Masters & Missus's at Vite Condic [White Conduit] House'. For sweeps on May Day cf. No. 6740. [3] 'Brobdignag Bonnet -- Seven people beside the wearer walk under the flat brim of a huge ribbon-trimmed hat. Cf. No. 15618. [4] "Now that, I heard"-- One ragged street lad says to another, at the corner of 'Argyll Street': 'Hallo! Jack vare are you agoing to?' The (ironical) answer: 'Oh! vhy I'm a going to a Consort at the Argyll Rooms!' (Cf. No. 15604.) [5] 'A Jolly Companion'. Bust profile to the right of a man constructed of materials for punch; the shoulders are the broken top of a sugar-loaf; bowl, decanter, two glasses, lemon, lemon-squeezer, and corkscrew make up the head. Cf. No. 11824, &c. [6] 'All a blowing all a growing' (the cry of the London street-sellers of plants). A woman's figure is formed of a hand-bell whose handle, the body, supports an immense hat, the crown covered with flowers; ribbon streamers from brim to shoulders form arms. Cf. No. 15611.†. [7] 'Tooth Powder . A sufferer from tooth-ache, seated on a couch, extracts a tooth by firing a pistol, the bullet attached by a string to the tooth."--British Museum online catalogue
