"The front of the velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399) is in the normal shape, and is ridden by a dandy; the bar is elongated and dropped to give space for a seat on which a lady sits, wearing an enormous bonnet. At the back is a much lower seat, like a dickey, behind the back wheel. In this sits a groom, with his feet on a foot-rest, working the wheel by handles attached to the hubs. In the background (left) is a similar machine, carrying three."--British Museum online catalogue

"The interior of a thieves' kitchen or cellar into which a steep flight of steps (left) descends. All the inmates have seen Matthew Wood, the Mayor, followed by constables, coming quietly down the stairs except for a sleeping woman and a watchman seated with his back to the stairs and holding up a glass of gin. He says, with a grin, to a terrified woman who falls over backwards, kicking his hand: "You had like'd to have kick'd the Blue Ruin [gin, generally bad gin, from c. 1810; Partridge, 'Slang Dict'., 1938] out of my hand, come let's have our Old toast! Industrious Thieves, and Idle Magistrates." The woman screams: "Oh the Night Mare!! we're ruind by the Lord." A man wearing top-boots crouches behind her chair, trying to hide his plunder, a watch, seals, &c., under his hat. He says: "We are dish'd Bet by G-- if I escape I'll live honestly as long as this chaps in Office --for he'l ruin the Consarn!" Two men and a woman try to escape through a door: she says: "D-- his Eyes when does he sleep!!" The watchman wears a helmet-like hood, a long coat with his rattle thrust through the belt, his staff and (smoking) lantern lie on the floor. Wood is handsome and fashionably dressed in a long frogged overcoat. He says to the constables: "Here's a pretty fellow for a Guardian of the Night--Blue Ruin shall bring him to the Black hole!"."--British Museum online catalogue

"An elderly schoolmaster sits by a writing-table, in profile to the right, addressing an old countrywoman who faces him, making a slight curtsey.

The schoolmaster, who wears night-cap, slippers, and buttoned overcoat or dressing-gown, says: "Good woman you are always making complaints against my Scholars, what have they done to offend you now?" She answers: "Please your Honors Worship they followd me up and down--and said one to another--At her!--beat her! damn her!--pelt her!-- and a great deal more that I do not recollect". The leader of the boys, bowing, cap in hand, says: "Indeed Sir, we were only repeating our Greek Alphabet, in order to get quite perfect--what the Old Woman heard was only Alpha--Beta-- Gamma--Delta--and so on to the conclusion".
