"John Bull, an ungainly yokel, short and stout, stands between Melville (left) and Pitt (right). Melville, wearing Highland dress, sits full face, vomiting a shower of guineas (as in British Museum Satires Nos. 10392, 10400) into a tub. Pitt, rather behind and in profile to the right, rests his elbow on a table and supports his head; a similar tub is before him on the ground. On the table are two large books, 'Debates' and 'Interest Tables'. In the foreground lies a large tankard inscribed 'Whtbr[ead]'. John holds a decanter of 'Conscience Emetic'; he grins, saying, "It do work em rarely to be zure it be better zo than having a continual load on the Stomach tho!" Melville says: "Mercy on me now sick I am! curse this Whitbreads Porter oh Billy, Billy, how is it we you Mon I shall disgorge every thing to the last Baubee!" Pitt, who is desperately thin, looks far more ill and miserable but is not vomiting; he answers: "O Lord afraid I shall reach my heart up by and bye! I never was so sick in all my life.""--British Museum online catalogue

"Fox makes a speech in the House of Commons; a large section of the crowded Opposition benches is shown (r.). Pitt sits alone on the Treasury Bench, his profile only appearing on the extreme left.; the rest of the Ministerial benches are cut off by the margin, behind him is the Speaker's Chair, with the tiny head of Abbot surrounded by a vast wig, appearing just over the table. From the table hangs a scroll: 'Resolutions respecting the Chancellor of the Exchequer - 40000 - Bank of England - Boyd & Benf[ield] - Trotter - Jellicoe - Speculation - Participation'. Fox, corpulent, neat, and composed, stands with his right. hand extended towards Pitt, his left. behind his back and holding a paper: 'Arraignments [sic] for a new Coalition'. His words ascend and are enclosed in a large label in the upper part of the design: '" - Yes Sir, I do assure the Right Honble Gent" \ "though our lives have ever been opposite, though in \ "almost every instance we have disagreed, & though I have \ "constantly blamed the whole of his conduct, yet I should \ "be everlastingly unhappy had it turned out that he had \ "acted wrong or had soiled his hands in the manner we \ "meant to attribute to him; - I do say Sir, that during \ "my whole life, I never did suspect, I never had the least \ "suspicion of any thing dishonorable in the Right Honble Gent" - \ "and from every species of Corruption, I do declare most \ "solemnly, my mind has always most completely \ "acquitted him! - he will be held up to posterity \ "and cited as a bright example of Purity Integrity and Honor!' On his seat lies his hat; in this is a large bundle of papers: 'Political Union, to save the Country from Buonaparte and the Doctor'. On the ground beside it lies a large overturned tankard of 'Whitbread's Entire', whose contents froth over the floor. Long narrow labels ascend from other M.P.s. Pitt says "Here! - Here! - Here!!!", touching with his finger the vacant place beside him, inviting Fox to take it. Next Fox's hat and on the extreme right. sits Grey clutching his cocked hat with papers: 'State of . . . Na[tion]'; 'Enquiries into the Public Offices'. He says: "Yes I find they'll be all prov'd Honest, so I'll destroy my Papers too!" Next, partly concealed by Fox, slouches Sheridan; he is silent (opposed to any praise of Pitt, especially from Fox). Next sits Tierney, hands on knees, saying sanctimoniously, "O how I shall enjoy to sit down with him, upon the Bench of Honesty". Next sits Lord Henry Petty, hands folded, feet together, saying priggishly, "an Immaculate Statesman! - just like my own Papa" [Lansdowne, or 'Malagrida']. On the second bench Windham sits behind Fox's empty seat, biting a pen; he holds 'Notes and Speeches for the Political Register', and says: "Why, he deserves a Statue of Gold more than Porcupine himself!" Next, little Wilberforce claps tiny hands, saying, "O he's an Angel of Light! - a Cherubim of Glory!" Beside him is Erskine, saying, "he scorns a dirty Cause, I vow to G-d". The other members are freely drawn and scarcely characterized, though Walpole (behind Windham) is identified by his small size, sharp nose, cocked hat, and regimentals; next him is a stout man in spectacles resembling Lord Temple. Heads look down from the gallery in the upper right. corner of the design."--British Museum online catalogue

"Four ladies and two men play cards at a round table lit by two candles. A woman in back view says to a handsome woman next her: "Whom in your opinion Madam, are the happiest couple in England?" The other shows King and Queen, answering, "The King and Queen, Ma'am that's a stop." An elderly woman turns to a man in regimentals with a scarred face: "And do you really think, Major, that Bonaparte means to attempt an Invasion? - pray what is your opinion of him." He displays a knave: "A knave Ma'am, and that's a stop." A young woman says to a fat parson who sits in a wheeled armchair, his gouty leg on a cushion: "What unfortunate Old Lady was that you mentioned just now, Mr Spintext!"

"A grotesquely dilapidated post-chaise stands outside a ramshackle inn (r.); the driver lashes the horses cruelly, a boy lifts a pitch-fork to strike, but the wretched animals refuse to move. A barefooted slattern approaches from the r. with a huge red-hot poker. From the post-chaise leans its occupant, who wears a ribbon and star, and a night-cap. His feet have broken through the ruinous chaise; he threatens the driver with his cane; the latter's words are etched after the title: '"------"Forward immediately your Honour; But sure a'nt I waiting for the Girl with the Poker \ "just to give this Mare a burn your Honour, 'tis just to make her start your Honour.' The chaise is roofed with thatch on which a cock is pecking; it is held together by rope, the reins and traces are of rope. The wheels are broken. Above the door of the primitive inn is a placard: 'The New Thatched-House Tavern' [the Thatched House was a fashionable London tavern and club]. On the signboard an eagle attacking a naked infant (Ganymede) is depicted; above is a board: 'Nate Post-Chaise and Whiskey \ Nate \ Entertainment for Man & Beast.' From a brick chimney a little sweep looks out waving his brush. On a bench by the door a man with a crutch and wooden leg sits smoking and drinking, not interested in the departing grandee. In the foreground a lean sow eats from a heap of potatoes; a young pig attempts to suck; another, almost a skeleton, tries to eat potatoes. In the coach-house which is part of the inn, is a second and less-ruinous thatched post-chaise. Beside the road is a stone wall and behind it a signpost, pointing (r.) 'to Ballyragger', (l.) 'to Athlone'"--British Museum online catalogue

"A very clumsy post-chaise descends a mountain road across a bare moor.
