"Two doctors (left) stoke the fires of a row of seven cylindrical vessels or furnaces from which their patients (half length) emerge. These recede slightly in perspective from right to left. On the extreme right is Burke ('B------e'), drooping dejectedly, and saying, "By Jasus I have got no Juice left". Next him Fox ('F--x') declaims, hat in hand, "I have sweated enough. Sheridan ('S------n') gesticulates furiously with clenched fists, saying, "This is Scandalous the Baily's have sufficiently sweated me" (executions in Sheridan's house were frequent). Next him is the Prince ('P------'), clasping his hands, and saying, "I suppose they call this a Regency Sweat". A young woman on his right, 'Mrs J------n', (? Jordan) says "I sweat with desire". Next is ('W------e') Weltje (cf. BMSat 7509), saying, "I never sweat so much at Cooking in all my Life". On the extreme left Mrs. Fitzherbert ('F--T--T'), her arms extended in a frenzy, says, "And I with Jealousy what disregard the Marriage Rights". On the ground, below their patients, are the two doctors: Willis on the extreme left, indicated by his clerical bands, holds coal on a shovel, while Dominicetti, wearing a nightcap, kneels on one knee to stir up the furnace under Sheridan with a long poker. On the right is a 'Coal Tub'. Clouds of steam rise from the baths."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Duke of York (left) and the Prince of Wales (right) stand one on each side of a church door, each holding out a collecting-plate, and each saying, "Pray remember the poor Charity Children of St Jams parish". Behind, a crowd of men leave the Church, Pitt holding out a plate to them, saying, "What is £130,000 pr Ann when you consider the price of provisions & other things pray remember." Three labels rise from the heads of the reluctant congregation (M.P.s): "I have disinherited my own Son for contracting Debts at Brothels & gaming Tables; At the last Charity Sermon both his Father & he promis'd. that he shd not become chargeable to the parish again"; "This Begging is made a Trade of". The tiny Duchess of York, also holding a plate, stands with her left hand under the Duke's arm, saying, "I was born in a strange Land of honest Parents, but their characters are neither here nor there pray remember". The Princess of Wales, three ostrich plumes in her hair, stands with her plate behind the Prince's back, looking at him reproachfully over her right shoulder and saying, "I came here naked & he hath half cover'd me pray remember". On the extreme right stands the stout Mrs. Fitzherbert in profile to the left, clutching papers inscribed '6000 Pr Ann' (see BMSat 8485); she says: "It's always good to have something in hand." The Duke of Clarence, wearing striped sailor's trousers and a cocked hat, stands on the extreme left with an infant (one of the Fitzclarences) in his arms; he holds a paper (or collecting-box): 'Mrs Jordans Night'. The infant holds a paper: 'For the Benefit of Mrs Jordan - a new Way to pay Old Debts the part of Sr Giles Overreach by Mr George, being his second Appearance in that Character.' (Massinger's comedy, revived several times in the eighteenth century.) The Duke looks down disconsolately as if aware that he would have no share in the collection but would be forced to rely on his mistress's earnings. In the background the King and Queen are seated on one horse as in BMSat 6918, a sign-post pointing 'To Windsor'. The King says: "I never interfere in Parish Business they must provide for their own poor." The Queen says: "Charity begins at home Love who knows what we may all come to." (Cf. BMSat 7836.) 19 June [1795]."--British Museum online catalogue

Facing her is '(7) Secretary of War & Capn of the Guards, La-y Wa-ce' (sister of No. 1); she wears a military cocked hat and coat with epaulettes, her hands placed truculently on her hips.

"A reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Fox to various groups of the Opposition, [With one or two exceptions the identifications are those of Miss Banks; the characterization is excellent, and most are unmistakeable.] in which the arrangement has political and social significance. Three Grenvilles bow to the host and hostess; the Marquis of Buckingham, wearing his ribbon, holding hat and gold-headed cane and showing a gouty leg and foot, bends low. Next is Lord Grenville, clasping his hat to his breast, more ingratiating but less obsequious than his brother. Next is the stout Lord Temple, awkwardly imitating his uncle's gesture. Fox, wearing a sword, returns Buckingham's bow, his hand on his heart; on his right. stands the fat Mrs. Fox, curtseying, and ogling Grenville. She holds a fan on which is a profile portrait of 'Napoleone Ist'; from her pocket projects a flask of 'French Brandy', indicative of her antecedents (cf. BMSats 7370, 10589) as well as her sympathies, cf. BMSat 9892). On the extreme right. is the Prince of Wales, in back view, the greater part of his figure cut off by the margin, but unmistakable. From his pocket projects a paper: 'Henry IV. Sc. I [sic] Pr of W -l know you all, & shall . . . while.' A short fat man gazes up at him admiringly, obsequiously amused; he is identified by Miss Banks as 'Mr [i.e. General] Fitzpatrick', but resembles M. A. Taylor. Beside him is a dog, his collar inscribed 'Tommy Tattle' [? Thomas Tyrwhitt]. Mrs. Fitzherbert sits, in semi-state, in the corner of a sofa, holding a fan on which are the Prince's feathers and 'Ich Dien'; she is about to take a ticket, 'Coalition Masquerade', proffered with ingratiating vivacity by Lord Carlisle. Next Carlisle behind the sofa stands the Duke of Clarence, facing the Prince, and cruelly caricatured. Mrs. Jordan takes his right. arm, but is reading Jobson & Nell [characters in 'The Devil to pay] with the Farce of Equality' [see BMSat 7908, &c.]. Behind the pair are Col. McMahon, sly and furtive, and a large man, resembling the Duke of York. [Identified by Miss Banks as 'Mr. Tyrwitt', but Tommy Tyrwhitt was noted for his small size. ] Behind Mrs. Fitzherbert, Erskine, in wig and gown, delightedly holds up a large paper (the words partly obscured): 'Arraignments for the new Broad-Bottom'd Administration [cf. BMSat 10530], Citn Volpone [see BMSat 9892] . . . Lord Pogy [Grenville] . . . Madame Volpone .. . Cit . . . Ego [Erskine, see BMSat 9246], Lord High [Chancellor], Greyhound [Grey], H . . .

"The Duke of Clarence drags his three children (left to right) in a go-cart. His waistcoat is open, a handkerchief under his hat drapes his head, perspiration pours from his forehead.
