"A design in two compartments, each based on one of the familiar 'Cries of London': In 'Le--Gagne--Petit' (left) Fox is a knife-grinder busily sharpening a headsman's axe. Arranged along his barrow are four knives of various shapes inscribed respectively 'Enquiry', 'inversion', 'sarcasm' (with a notched blade), 'incrementum'. A horn attached to the barrow is inscribed 'Fluidity', a box 'Collective Ideas'. In the background (left) is the gateway of St. James's Palace with two sentries. Behind Fox (right) is the house at the SW. corner of 'St James's St'. He wears a cap and a waistcoat showing a ragged shirtsleeve. Beneath the design is engraved: 'To be Sirs Ingenious I'll tell you my Mind 'tis for What I can get Makes me Willing to Grind.' [2] 'Poisson-Salé'. Burke walks (left to right) along Pall Mall carrying bundles of stock-fish on a pole across his shoulder; he bends forward supporting himself with a stout stick. His only garment, except hat and short wig showing his own hair, is a coat worn back to front, his legs being bare. On a wall behind him (left) are two play-bills: 'Much-Ado about Nothing Principle Performer Mr B------e with The Fathless Irishman', and 'Impeachment of Warren Hastings a Farce, as performed by the Tools of Faction St Stephens Chaple'. Beneath the design is engraved: 'Salt Fish ho 'tis I Who late Amused you all by Crying Hastings.'"--British Museum online catalogue

Below the title in the frame at the top are directions for the puzzle: "Directions. 1. Learn to put the heads in succession. 2. Get the dates of inner ovals & the houses of the respective kings. 3. Learn the names of the principal personages of each reign separately. 4. Get by heart the historical & chronological facts of the respective reigns with the dates of battles, treaties, &c."

Capitals over the heads are the initials of the different houses. N. Norman. Pl. Plantagenet. L. Lancaster. Y. York. T. Tudor. S. Stuart. O. Orange. B. Brunswick. In the dates the year only of the current century is sometimes expressed as the rest is evident from the reign."

On the left, a man with a beard and wearing a hat holds the coat of a short, bald man in waist coat, shirt, and trousers who is advancing to the right, fists up and ready to fight. In the front on the right is a foppish man holding an open snuff box in his right hand. He advances, pointing his left leg and wearing an expression of extreme alarn, and bowing at the pugilist. Between them but behind stands an older man in enourous boots and with a curious hairdo, who spreads his hands in a gesture of despair. A fifth man, standing in back of the fop, also wears an expression of apprehension
