"William IV stands, very erect and stern, in profile to the right, holding at arm's length a birch-rod inscribed 'Reform'. Behind him, as ushers, on the extreme left, Brougham and Grey stand in consultation. The King says to a body of discomfited schoolboys (right): 'Get you gone and never let me see your faces again till you are Reformed'. The boys are (left to right) Wellington, wearing a peaked cap and an old, over-large, military coat, and carrying a bag, walks hand in hand with Peel who wears an ill-fitting policeman's tunic and holds a slate on which is scrawled the figure of a policeman (see British Museum satires no. 15768, &c). Beside and behind them are Sadler and Wetherell. In front of Peel walks Twiss with a book under his arm; next him is the small Sugden wearing a pinafore. Taller than the others are Hunt wearing a hunting-cap and holding ajar of his blacking (see British Museum satires no. 16575) and Sir R. Wilson wearing a smock and a cap and holding a slate inscribed 'Bob Wilson'. Wellington to Peel: 'Oh Bobby--Bobby what shall we do now?' Wetherell, looking back, says (as late M.P. for Boroughbridge, cf. British Museum Satires No. 16602): 'I am afraid I shall never be admitted into the school again'. Hunt: 'Who would have thought I should have been Hunt-ed out already'. Wilson: 'Its a shocking bad Job' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 16646]."--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull, a fat 'cit', walks on hands and feet, overburdened with panniers containing royal dukes and their wives. He raises the left leg to propel the Duke of Clarence from his back into a pond (right); on the Duke's shoulders sit two young women, who are also about to land in the pond in which is a notice-board: 'Slough of Jordan'. Three pairs of feminine legs and one pair in trousers emerge from the pond, where their owners have fallen head first; two chamber-pots inconspicuously floating among the legs show by a coarse pun that these belong to FitzClarences, the Duke's children by Mrs. Jordan, cf. No. 7908, &c. The Duke who flourishes a cat-o'-nine-tails, exclaims "Curse him he has kick'd me off, take [sic] we shall be in the slough by G-". In the near pannier on John's left stands the Duke of Kent, one arm round his betrothed, the other flourishing a long whip, with his right leg raised and resting on John's shoulder, which his spur gashes. Beside the Princess of Leiningen stands the Duchess of Cumberland extending her arms towards her husband who lies on the ground, clutching a whip with a long weighted lash. She says: "Oh mine dear why you Tomble out make hase [sic] haste you get up again!" He: "No! No! my dear this is the second fall I have had, I shall not venture a third time, so you must e'en ride without me!" In the other pannier stands the Duke of Cambridge, raising his heavy whip to lash John Bull; his betrothed, the Princess Augusta of Hesse-Cassel, stands behind him with her hands on his shoulders. He says: "Come up you lazy Animal why you are as sluggish as a Jack Ass! spur him up, -why the stupid Animal is totally ignorant of the honor done him, Aye and of the grandeur and brilliance we shall display. beside Johnny its the Money we want not the Wives, consider the number of Bastards we have to keep,." She says: "Ah so you whip de Monies from Johnny Bull." John, looking up towards his tormentors, says: "Curse the honor, the Brilliance, the Luxury, extravagance, the Debauchery and all the rest, give me but a little ease, and allow me to keep a little of my hard earnings, and then I will trudge on, but I cannot labour without Victuals, or pay without Money, t'is too much for any Animal to bear." All the brothers wear uniform; Clarence that of an admiral, Cumberland that of a hussar, with furred dolman. Princess Elizabeth and her husband, see No. 12986, &c., stand together in the background (left) in travelling dress, watching John Bull. Near them and on the extreme left is Castlereagh standing on a mounting-block with three steps inscribed respectively: 'Conceit', 'Importance', 'Effrontery'. He takes from a man whose hand and foot only are visible (as in other representations of the Regent) a great pile of new burdens for John Bull, saying, "I'll put it on! he will bear it, and more still." These bulky packages are: 'New fasioned [sic] Loans', 'New export Duties', 'New Yachts', 'New Madhouses', 'New Palaces', 'New Streets', 'New Jails', 'New Churches'."--British Museum online catalogue
