"A fashionably dressed man (left) regards apprehensively a young woman (right) who holds out her fists as if sparring; he makes as if to depart. Both have Jewish features and curling hair. On the wall are three boxing pictures: 'The Game Chicken', half length, flanked by men sparring. The Jew relates with Jewish pronunciation his attempts to find a wife. Miss Devy jilted him, Miss Rachel's father sold watches and rings: 'And dere vas nothing to do but buy de ring out of her fader's shop - but ve couldn't agree about de price . . .' Then Miss Moses: 'Her Broder vash mighty rich, and got money in de shtocks, He vashn't so vulgar to get it by trade, but taught de great people to spa and to box.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Melville (l.) stands by a pile of bricks, each marked with a coronet (except one with a mitre), and the words 'Not Guilty'. These he is hurling with great vigour at (some of) the managers of the impeachment who flee in disorder, to the right., putting up their arms to fend off the missiles. He wears Highland dress with a magnificently feathered bonnet; his plaid swirls out. He says, the words in a large label: '"Self-preservation's Heaven's eldest law. "Imprest upon our Nature with our life, "In Characters indelible, who shrinks "From this great cause is wanting to his righteason: "But when our Honor is traduc'd and stab'd at, "T'is Virtue, t'is heroic Fortitude, "Then to encounter violence with Force.' His bricks are stacked on a fringed carpet on which is the motto 'Dieu et m[on] Droit'. Sheridan, the hindmost, protects himself with his hat, and says: "Why Charley! I am afraid we have drank too much of this cursed Entire." Just in front of him is Whitbread, an 'Essay on Brewing' [cf. BMSat 10574] projecting from his coat-pocket. Fox, next, turns to protect himself; in front Howick (Whitbread's brother-in-law) grovels on the ground, grasping the edge of a large upright cask of 'Whitbread's Entire' [see BMSat 10421]. Into this Lord Temple, one of the Managers of the Impeachment, is plunging head first, displaying bulky breeches inscribed 'Temple of Hymen'. Behind stands a man in gown and bands, evidently Dr. Laurence. Beside Whitbread and Howick are overturned tankards of 'Whitbreads Entire' [a few letters only of the inscription being visible], spilling their contents. In the background, against the corner of Westminster Hall, whose doorway is behind Melville, is a rectangular tank: 'Brown Stout Cooler'; in this men are frantically splashing. The sun emerges from a gap in dark clouds irradiating Melville; in its disk is the profile head of George III. After the title: '"And Haman prepared a Gallows 100 Cubits \ "high for Mordecai, but behold Haman was \ "hanged thereon himself - '."--British Museum online catalogue

"The beam of a pair of scales is suspended from a vertical bar terminating in a ring which encircles one of many solid rays from a large sun (l.) surmounted by the Prince of Wales' coronet and feathers. The 'Rising-Sun' (see BMSat 10258) is partly obscured by dark clouds, but its rays extend across the design and illuminate especially Sidmouth and Ellenborough. The former is poised triumphantly on the cross-beam, depressing the r. scale with his foot, while he holds on his shoulders Ellenborough in judge's wig and gown, who manipulates the scale in the same direction. This lower scale contains the 'Broad-Bottomites' ie the Grenvillites, or New Opposition, the other, the 'No-Bottomites', i.e. the Foxites, or Old Opposition. In the latter (l.) the occupants hold the ropes with expressions of anxiety; the inscription suggests that they lack 'bottom' or endurance (a pugilistic phrase). Fox is the most prominent, between Erskine (l.), in Chancellor's wig and gown and with the Purse of the Great Seal, and Grey (r.). Moira, in cocked hat and regimentals, stands stiffly behind. Fox and Grey have bonnets rouges but do not wear them. The other bowl contains Grenville, one hand on his fat nephew Lord Temple; the heavy posteriors for which the family were noted take up much of the bowl. Windham waves his hat triumphantly. Of two other partly obscured occupants one resembles Lord Henry Petty. The scales are suspended above the curve of the globe on which Great Britain and the Continent are indicated. Behind the North Pole (r.) is a setting sun containing a royal crown; its feeble rays are outshone by the heavy beams of the rising sun (or son). Above it, among clouds, flies the ghost of Pitt, weeping."--British Museum online catalogue

"Heading to engraved verses: 'The Words written by Peter Pindar Esqr.' A countryman, in shirt and breeches, rushes furiously from his cottage (l.) towards a complacent bagman with a sack over his shoulder and razors projecting from his coat-pocket. He stanches his bleeding face and holds out a bundle of razors to the man who has sold them. The salesman answers angry protests: "Upon my soul I never thought "That they would Shave." ....
