Abstract:: A satire of Pitt's return to office in 1804. Pitt is shown in the chamber of Britannia. Britannia sits listlessly on a bed, holding a sword in one hand. Next to her, leaning against the bed, is her shield and olive branches. Pitt holds aloft a bottle labelled "Constitutional Restorative" as he kicks another man, a caricature of Addington, through the door. Addington is in the process of dropping a bottle labelled "Composing Draft". With his other foot, Pitt steps on the face of a flailing and prostrate Fox, who holds a bottle labelled "Rebublican Balsam" towards Britannia. From Fox's pocket dice and a dice container labelled "Whig Pills" have fallen. Emerging from behind the bed curtains, the figure of Death, a skeleton with the face and plumed bicorne of Napoleon, overturns a table and upsets bottles of medicine and points his sword toward the unsuspecting Britannia

British Museum Satires No. 7499, &c). Fox says, "Exegi Monumentum cere perennias, or the finishing Stroke" (perhaps an allusion to the revolution Pillar, see British Museum Satires No. 7396). In his hand is a paper inscribed 'Magna Charta Non Posteris sed Posterioribus'; his posterior is inscribed 'Patriotic Bum' and 'Vox Populi'. He stands on a paper inscribed 'Resolutions of P------l------t.' Sheridan is 'Principal Promoter of loose Principles'; under his right foot is an open book: 'Congreve Plays School for Scandal', probably implying plagiarism by Sheridan (cf. Moore, 'Life of Sheridan', p. 180, where resemblances between 'The School for Scandal' and 'The Double Dealer' are noted). The background is a library wall: a book-case containing folio volumes in some disorder is flanked by scowling busts of 'Wat Tyler' and 'Jack Kade'. The books are inscribed: 'The Laws of Pharaoh' (Faro, cf. British Museum Satires No. 5972), 'Political Prints', 'Life of Oliver Cromwell' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6380, &c), 'Cataline' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6784), 'Memoirs of Sam House'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Prince of Wales is seated in a magnificent dining-hall before a bare table. The Duke of Leinster (right) offers him across the table a dish of 'Potatoes from Leinster'; the Prince extends his arms to take them, but turns his head to look at the forbidding Thurlow, dressed as a doctor, who stands (left) on his right. Thurlow points authoritatively to the potatoes with the head of his cane, saying, "Take back the Irish Potatoes". The Prince says with a peevish expression: "If I must not have the roast Beef [the English Regency] let me have ye Potatoes Doctor I have paid for them". On the extreme right, behind Leinster, Sheridan, with a melancholy expression, tries to take a dish containing a sirloin from a beefeater, who says, "This belongs to my Master Sir." In the foreground (left) Weltje (cf. British Museum Satires No. 7509), dressed as a cook, stands looking at the Prince, his hands clasped in dismay, saying, "By Got now we sail not heb our Desert". Two colonnades of pillars recede in perspective behind the Prince; on the plinth of one is a relief of Tantalus vainly trying to drink from the vessel at his lips. In the foreground (centre) are two dogs coupled together, one is Burke, in spectacles, looking hungrily at the bare table, the other is Fox, turning his back on the table and straining away from Burke. The Prince's chair is surmounted by his coronet and feathers. On a chain round Leinster's neck hangs a crowned Irish harp attached to the order of St. Patrick with its significant motto, 'Quis separa[bit].'"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Fox and his party (three quarter length) surround a Twelfth Night cake which Weltje was about to cut into portions. The cause of a sudden check to this proceeding is indicated by a broad ray of light (which strikes the cake and the bystanders) and by a scroll: 'The King shall enjoy his own again'. Weltje stands on the left, his arms extended towards the scroll, saying, "Den by Got we sail heb no Cake"; he drops his knife. He and Sheridan are the most agitated of the party: Sheridan with a face of despair looks up, saying, '"Now our Ruin is complete" School for Scandal'. (He is Joseph Surface as in British Museum Satires No. 7510, &c; the actual words are "Tis now complete!') Fox stands disconsolately, his hands in his pockets, his back to the ray. Burke (right), his arms folded, scowls up at the ray. Behind these three Stormont, Loughborough, and Sandwich (on the extreme right) regard it with less pronounced despair. Portland stands behind the cake, frowning fixedly. The centre of the cake is ornamented with the Prince of Wales's coronet and feathers (as are Weltje's buttons); on the centre feather is poised a crown. The cake has been marked in sections where it is to be cut, these are inscribed 'Ist Lord Admy' [Sandwich had been considered for the post and also for that of Ambassador to France], 'Secrety State foreign' [Fox], 'Secrety State home' [Stormont], 'Paymar Genl' [Burke], 'Ist Comm Board Control', and 'Treas Navy' (Sheridan's arm extends across this, the place intended for him, pending a transfer to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, Sir G.

Abstract:: "A comet traverses the design diagonally and downwards from right to left across an aquatinted background; the head is that of the Prince Wales in a star, the tail contains the heads of his disappointed followers. This broadens as it recedes from the head; immediately after the Prince is the head of Sheridan, with a gloomy expression. Behind him are Fox, with a melancholy smile, and Portland, looking angry. After them comes the wig in back view of Lord Loughborough (see British Museum Satire No. 6796). Next come Stormont and (in 'profil perdu') North. They are followed by the Duke of Queensberry (one of the 'rats') holding up a quizzing-glass and Powys with his habitual melancholy scowl. Behind them are Lord Lothian (another 'rat'), Burke, with an angry frown, and the Duke of Norfolk. Between Norfolk and Queensberry is the 'profil perdu' of Derby. They are followed by Lord Sandwich, Bishop Watson of Llandaff, and Sir Grey Cooper. Next are two clerical wigs in back view identified by Miss Banks as Wilson, Bishop of Bristol, and Warren, Bishop of Bangor, while in the upper left corner of the print is the swarthy profile of Sawbridge. Beneath the title, and on the background which represents the sky, is etched: 'A Return of the Comet which appeared in 1761 [Above the final '1' of the date is a '2'.] is expected this Year and to be within our horizon from the month of Octr 1788 to Augt 1789 but is expected to be most -visible {if it forces itself upon our Notice) in the Winter months Febry & March ------ vide Dr Trusslers Almanack By some of the ancient Astronomers Comets were deemed Meteors kindled in the Air and designed as Presages or unlucky Omens of some disastrous Catastrophe------ The Peripateticks deemed them not permament Bodies but bodies newly produced and in a short Time to perish again, and affirmed that they were made up of Exhalations in the terrestrial Regions------ Sr Isaac Newton asserts That the Tail of a Comet is nothing else than a fine Vapour which the Head of the Comet emits by its heat that Heat the Comet receives from the Sun and the magnitude of the Tail is always proportional to the degree of heat which the Comet receives, and Comets which are nearest to the Sun have the longest Tails------'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A fox, wearing a coat, hangs in profile to the right from a very high gibbet. His large brush is inscribed 'Hereditary Right' (cf. British Museum Satires 7381); he is excreting, the ordure being inscribed 'Run my Mead'. Above the gibbet is a scroll: 'The Man of the People High in Office'. Three women caper delightedly round the foot of the gallows: Justice (with the head of Thurlow) (left), with her scales evenly balanced, but with her bandage pushed up so that she can see, and holding her sword against her shoulder, its blade inscribed 'Household' continued; she sings, "Let's joyful Dance and merry Sing". Britannia (right) sings "for Ch--l--y [Fox] is quite the thing"; her shield is inscribed 'No Peers No Pensions', an allusion to the Regency Restrictions. Her profile appears to be intended for that of Pitt. Liberty, with the head of Wilkes, squinting violently, who is between the other two, cries "Huzza". The cap of Liberty (on its staff) is inscribed with the City arms and the motto 'Address', in reference to the City address of thanks to Pitt and the Ministry for maintaining the right of Parliament in the establishment of a regency."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Prince of Wales is seated in a magnificent dining-hall before a bare table. The Duke of Leinster (right) offers him across the table a dish of 'Potatoes from Leinster'; the Prince extends his arms to take them, but turns his head to look at the forbidding Thurlow, dressed as a doctor, who stands (left) on his right. Thurlow points authoritatively to the potatoes with the head of his cane, saying, "Take back the Irish Potatoes". The Prince says with a peevish expression: "If I must not have the roast Beef [the English Regency] let me have ye Potatoes Doctor I have paid for them". On the extreme right, behind Leinster, Sheridan, with a melancholy expression, tries to take a dish containing a sirloin from a beefeater, who says, "This belongs to my Master Sir." In the foreground (left) Weltje (cf. British Museum Satires No. 7509), dressed as a cook, stands looking at the Prince, his hands clasped in dismay, saying, "By Got now we sail not heb our Desert". Two colonnades of pillars recede in perspective behind the Prince; on the plinth of one is a relief of Tantalus vainly trying to drink from the vessel at his lips. In the foreground (centre) are two dogs coupled together, one is Burke, in spectacles, looking hungrily at the bare table, the other is Fox, turning his back on the table and straining away from Burke. The Prince's chair is surmounted by his coronet and feathers. On a chain round Leinster's neck hangs a crowned Irish harp attached to the order of St. Patrick with its significant motto, 'Quis separa[bit].'"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Fox and his party (three quarter length) surround a Twelfth Night cake which Weltje was about to cut into portions. The cause of a sudden check to this proceeding is indicated by a broad ray of light (which strikes the cake and the bystanders) and by a scroll: 'The King shall enjoy his own again'. Weltje stands on the left, his arms extended towards the scroll, saying, "Den by Got we sail heb no Cake"; he drops his knife. He and Sheridan are the most agitated of the party: Sheridan with a face of despair looks up, saying, '"Now our Ruin is complete" School for Scandal'. (He is Joseph Surface as in British Museum Satires No. 7510, &c; the actual words are "Tis now complete!') Fox stands disconsolately, his hands in his pockets, his back to the ray. Burke (right), his arms folded, scowls up at the ray. Behind these three Stormont, Loughborough, and Sandwich (on the extreme right) regard it with less pronounced despair. Portland stands behind the cake, frowning fixedly. The centre of the cake is ornamented with the Prince of Wales's coronet and feathers (as are Weltje's buttons); on the centre feather is poised a crown. The cake has been marked in sections where it is to be cut, these are inscribed 'Ist Lord Admy' [Sandwich had been considered for the post and also for that of Ambassador to France], 'Secrety State foreign' [Fox], 'Secrety State home' [Stormont], 'Paymar Genl' [Burke], 'Ist Comm Board Control', and 'Treas Navy' (Sheridan's arm extends across this, the place intended for him, pending a transfer to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, Sir G. Elliot, 'Life and Letters', i. 260-1)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A comet traverses the design diagonally and downwards from right to left across an aquatinted background; the head is that of the Prince Wales in a star, the tail contains the heads of his disappointed followers. This broadens as it recedes from the head; immediately after the Prince is the head of Sheridan, with a gloomy expression. Behind him are Fox, with a melancholy smile, and Portland, looking angry. After them comes the wig in back view of Lord Loughborough (see British Museum Satire No. 6796). Next come Stormont and (in 'profil perdu') North. They are followed by the Duke of Queensberry (one of the 'rats') holding up a quizzing-glass and Powys with his habitual melancholy scowl. Behind them are Lord Lothian (another 'rat'), Burke, with an angry frown, and the Duke of Norfolk. Between Norfolk and Queensberry is the 'profil perdu' of Derby. They are followed by Lord Sandwich, Bishop Watson of Llandaff, and Sir Grey Cooper. Next are two clerical wigs in back view identified by Miss Banks as Wilson, Bishop of Bristol, and Warren, Bishop of Bangor, while in the upper left corner of the print is the swarthy profile of Sawbridge. Beneath the title, and on the background which represents the sky, is etched: 'A Return of the Comet which appeared in 1761 [Above the final '1' of the date is a '2'.] is expected this Year and to be within our horizon from the month of Octr 1788 to Augt 1789 but is expected to be most -visible {if it forces itself upon our Notice) in the Winter months Febry & March ------ vide Dr Trusslers Almanack By some of the ancient Astronomers Comets were deemed Meteors kindled in the Air and designed as Presages or unlucky Omens of some disastrous Catastrophe------ The Peripateticks deemed them not permament Bodies but bodies newly produced and in a short Time to perish again, and affirmed that they were made up of Exhalations in the terrestrial Regions------ Sr Isaac Newton asserts That the Tail of a Comet is nothing else than a fine Vapour which the Head of the Comet emits by its heat that Heat the Comet receives from the Sun and the magnitude of the Tail is always proportional to the degree of heat which the Comet receives, and Comets which are nearest to the Sun have the longest Tails------'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Five heads surround a taper whose flame is the head in profile to the left of George III. The taper rises from the centre of a crown which rests on a tasselled cushion in the foreground. On the left is Sheridan in profile, his face disfigured by drink, puffing angrily; next is Fox facing three-quarter length to the right, with a fierce expression. Next is the Prince of Wales, alarmed and rather fierce; beside him is Mrs. Fitzherbert, wearing breeches round her shoulders, one leg terminating in a garter inscribed 'Honi Soit...' The ribbon of her night-cap is decorated with the Prince's feathers and 'Ich dien'. On the extreme right is Grey, puffing intently, his blast directed at the back of the King's head. All the others puff awry, and the light burns steadily. All the men wear night-caps and shirts open at the neck."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A design in two compartments. On the left the triumph of Necker in a land of 'Freedom', in the other that of Pitt in a land of 'Slavery'. Necker (full face), seated in an armchair is carried on the shoulders of distinguished personages, who wave their hats. He holds in his right hand the staff and cap of 'Liberty', in his left a royal crown. He is stout and benevolent. Above his head floats a laurel wreath, irradiated, inscribed 'Necker', and adding a touch of absurdity. Under his feet are a chain and an instrument of torture resembling a harrow. The naval officer (left) wearing a star, -who holds one pole of the chair, is labelled 'Orleans'; his companion, in regimentals, is probably Lafayette; both wave their hats. In the background is a cheering crowd and the massive but broken stone wall of the 'Bastile'. On the right Pitt, lean and arrogant, stands in profile to the left on a royal crown which bends under his weight (as in BMSat 7478). In his right hand is a banner on which are instruments of torture: a narrow, shackles, and scourges; in his left hand, which rests on his hip, are a headsman's axe and chains, the other ends of which are attached to persons who kneel humbly behind him, the most prominent of whom is the King. Other chains are attached to artisans, &c, who kneel abjectly before him. In the background are (left) a gallows from which hang seven nooses, and (right) a high scaffold on which stands a headsman with an axe. From Pitt's pocket projects a large tobacco-pipe inscribed 'Excise'.."--British Museum online catalogue
