- Abstract:
- "Satire on the resignation of Lord Bute. George III is enthroned, Peace and Fame flying above and a large dog and a lion crouching at his feet; he welcomes the Duke of Newcastle and William Pitt who kneel before him (it was assumed that these two men would return to government, although in the event George Grenville replaced Bute). Britannia is seated in the centre of the print, facing a hydra-headed monster of faction; she is saying "See this and Tremble all you that wish evil to Israel" (Israel standing for England); behind her a Spaniard and a Frenchman despair at their loss. At top left, the Lord Mayor of London (probably intended for William Beckford) and a group of aldermen approach the king with a petition. At top right, a witch flies off on a broomstick over the "Flus Jordanus" to the "Alpes Herbronites" (the River Tweed and Scotland) carrying Henry Fox, two other ministers and the devil. One of the ministers wishes that "the Devil had the Author of Gisbal" (see BM Satires 3848) alluding to the role of the satirists in driving Bute to resign. Charles Churchill and John Wilkes fire at the broomstick, Wilkes wanting "One Pounce more and we will bring that Irish Owl to the Ground". In the foreground, on the right, Princess Augusta runs off carrying a diminutive Bute in a large boot on her back; she is chased by the Duke of Cumberland brandishing a sword and crying "Damn the Scotch Loon he flies faster than his Bretheren did in 45. If I come up with him I'll spoil his Running"; the young Duke of York runs with him. On the left, a group of sailors harrass a Scotsman declaring,"We will stand by our Noble Captain till not a Sawney be feft in the Land", "O O Jack see what this Dog has got to wet his Whistle with" and "Lend me your Sneaker [a rod] Tom I'll Probe him who knows but the Rascal has got his Belly full"; coins fall from the bagpipes clutched beneath the Scotsman's arm."--British Museum catalogue

- "Satire on Lord Camden alleging that he had abandonned his liberal principles on becoming Lord Chancellor. Camden, on the left, in his Chancellor's robes is aghast at the appearance of the ghost of his former self when Lord Chief Justice. He holds out a book lettered, "Lex Temporis" and papers lie beside him referring to supposed corrupt practices, "Grants / Reversion / Irish Pensions / Patent of Peerage / Non obstante [licence from the Crown]", and a scroll falls in front of him lettered, "is but 40 days Slavery at outside", a reference to his support of an embargo on corn export for forty days; his mace and purse (lettered "Latent Power") lie on a bench draped with tartan together with a letter reading "... your A--s] & your mace in ye Kennel within a fortnight by G[od] / yours Tom Tilbury [Lord Northington, Camden's predecessor as Lord Chancellor]". Behind the Lord Chancellor is a chair with arms and legs made of boots, upholstered in tartan and with thistles around its back; an oval lportrait showing Lords Bute and Chatham is on the back with the motto "Arcades Ambo"(two of a kind); a boot and Pitt's crutch are tied together and resting ont he back of the chair; burning papers on the cair are lettered "Negabimus / Magna Farta" and "vendemus Justitiam". The ghost holds out a book lettered "Lex Terra"; a scroll falling in front of him reads "The liberty of an English Dw[e]l[ling] cannot be estimated" (a paraphrase of his statement against General Warrants in the John Wilkes case). William Beckford, Camden's former ally, is shown creeping under the bench saying "Hide me ye Sugar Casks", a reference to his wealth from sugar plantations in Jamaica. A row of portraits on the wall show from the left: Lord Northington, Judge Jeffreys, Beckford, Sec[re]t[ary Astley, Chatham, L[or]d S[-]d and William Scrogg[s]; in front of the portraits is a book shelf containing, "Filmer's Patriarcha / Argu[men]t for Ship Money / Judg[ment] ag[ain]s[t] Hamden / Froit Le Roy / Prerogatives Regli / Grotius English Law"."--British Museum online catalogue and Pictures amplifying subject: portraits of various officials
