Abstract:
"The Duke of Cumberland, with large head, huge moustache and whiskers and savage teeth, rides a galloping horse, his hands crossed on his breast; he glares at two young women, terrified and spinsterish, who scream, brandishing parasols; a third is climbing over a paling. A signpost points 'To Barnes'. See British Museum Satires No. 17273, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

" Eight designs border on left and right, a centre of designs relating to Brougham. Five others make a border along the lower edge. In the centre is 'The Penny Trumpeter' copied from BM Satires No. 17258, with the word 'Monopoly' inscribed on Brougham's sack. The background to the figure is the façade of the University of London (see BM Satires No. 14788, &c). Two brooms flank this design; on each stands a figure of Brougham; on one (left) he is the schoolmaster 'At Home', holding a cane (see BM Satires No. 17187), on the other, dressed as a broom-girl (as in BM Satires No. 14769), he is the schoolmaster 'Abroad' (see BM Satires No. 15535). Above is the 'Woolsack', resting on Brougham's motto 'Pro Grege Lege Rege', and supporting a broom. Above this, Brougham as an old witch sits on a broom, 'Diffusing Knowledge', i.e. scattering pamphlets. Above is the bewigged head of Brougham supported on a birch-rod, or 'Rod of Equity', surmounted by a motto on a scroll: 'The March Of Intellect'. Below "The Penny Trumpeter" are emblems of oppression: a prison inscribed 'County Goal'; heavy fetters with inscriptions: 'Liberty of the Press'; 'Passive Obediance'; 'The Poor Mans Guardian' [Hetherington's unstamped paper, begun July 1831].. Designs on the left and right: [1] 'Astronomy', Brougham's profile in a crescent moon gaping at the 'Penny Mag.' and surrounded by clouds and little men whose heads are stars. [2] 'Natural History', a London drover intent on the 'Penny Mag' while two bulls toss a woman and trample on a man. [3] 'Botany', a gardener with a watering-can reading the 'Mag', tramples on a frame and on flowers. [4] 'Mathematics', a learned pig in wig and gown teaches little pigs to select cards and tell the time. [5] 'Geography, also the use of the Globes', three schoolboys, each reading the 'Penny Mag', sit or sprawl on (scholastic) globes. [6] 'Navigation', a Thames waterman reading the 'Penny Mag' runs down another wherry. [7] 'Agriculture', a ploughman, reading, trudges into a marsh, his plough and horses neglected in the background. [8] 'Mineralogy', a coal-cart man, reading the 'Mag', empties his sack down the area instead of the coal-hole. His mate shouts 'Hollo Bill vere ar you Shooting them ere Coals to'. The designs along the lower margin: [9] 'Geology, or the Formation of the Earth', a quarryman, reclining to read the 'Mag' and having used his pick at random, falls through space on the rock he has detached from a cliff-edge. [10] 'Divinity', a little chimney-sweep, seated on the top of a chimney, intently reading the 'Penny Mag' ("Clergyman" was a slang term for chimney-sweep, see BM Satires No. 14381). [11] 'Philosophy', a lean and ragged man with empty pockets leans against the wall in driving rain, reading, beside an 'Eating House' window filled with joints of meat. [12] 'Physics', an apothecary's boy with a basket of medicines running along the pavement and reading the 'Mag', steps into an open cellar. [13] 'Literature', one sailor reads the 'Penny Mag' to four others who listen intently."--British Museum online catalogue

An obese, angry-faced man in a night cap sits in a chair glaring out the window, his two gouty feet are bandaged and propped up on a pillow; both of his arms are also bandaged, his right arm in a sling.

"A young woman stands within a compass inscribed 'Fear God', holding an open book inscribed 'The Pleasures of Imagination Realized'. At her feet is an open chest full of guineas from which hang bank-notes and jewels; it is inscribed 'The Reward of Virtue'. A small dog stands beside her. In the background (right) is a country house, on the left farm-buildings and haystacks. The four corners are filled ... with the disasters which beset the woman who does not 'keep within compass'. (1) A woman weeps dejectedly with cards and an empty purse on the ground at her feet. (2) A drunken woman lets an infant fall from her arms; on the wall is a torn print inscribed 'Domestic Happiness'. (3) A woman is being conducted to the watch-house by two watchmen, one with his lantern, the other with a rattle.
