"A cavalcade of ladies and gentlemen on horseback riding close together, the legs of the horses being cut off by the lower margin of the print.

"John Bull's head and shoulders emerge from a gigantic coffee-mill. He is being ground by Pitt into guineas which pour from the spout of the machine into the inverted coronet of the Prince of Wales, held out by the Prince (left). John Bull, his hands clasped, shrieks "Murder! Murder!" Pitt (right), both hands on the handle, is working hard, stripped to his shirt. His coat lies across an enormous heap of guineas on which he rests his left knee. He says: "God save great George our Ki . . ." Behind him, and in the upper right corner of the design, is the crown, the centre of a sun whose rays extend behind Pitt's head, with the words: "Grind away! grind away grind away Billy! never mind his bawling! grind away." Other words from the crown are directed towards the victim: "What! - What! - what! Murder hay? why, you poor Stupe, is it not for the good of your Country? hay? hay". Between Pitt and the post of the mill Dundas and Burke are grovelling for guineas: Burke, frowning, uses both hands; Dundas, who wears a plaid, fills his Scots cap. Behind the post Loughborough grovels, his elongated judge's wig turned in back view (cf. BMSat 6796). The Prince (right) wearing a Garter ribbon, with the letters 'G.P' on the jewel, kneels on one knee, his head turned in back view; he points out his harvest of coins to a row of creditors. These stand in a row on the left: a jockey, probably Chifney (given a pension by the Prince, see BMSat 7918), holds out a paper: 'Debts of Honor'. Next, a bearded Jew holds out a paper headed 'Money Lent at £500 pr Cent'. Next is Mrs. Fitzherbert (caricatured) and another woman (? Mrs. Crouch); others are indicated. Behind this group is part of the colonnade and façade of Carlton House."--British Museum online catalogue

"A lady stands on a mound in profile to the left; a young military officer (left) fires a cannon from an embrasure, while another fires a trench-mortar at her from behind. Her dress caricatures the fashion for a very projecting breast, and a large protuberance at the back of the petticoats. She wears a hat with an enormous brim, her hands are in a large fur mutt.

"The Regent, as Macheath, wearing military uniform and heavily shackled, stands between Mrs. Fitzherbert, who kneels at his feet (left) removing his leg-irons, and Lady Hertford (right), who stands beside him taking the fetters from his wrists (inscribed 'Restri[ctions]'), He sings "How happy could I be with either." Mrs. Fitzherbert, a long rosary dangling from her waist, says: "The Benediction of His Holiness light on the Defender of Our Faith." Lady Hertford, sultana-like in a jewelled turban, says: "You heard of the Row & the Rowly Powly Song before Our house the Other Night?!!" Behind and on the right Eldon stands full-face between Perceval and McMahon, who face each other in profile. Perceval, in his Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown, and holding a brief-bag, says: "The Greys won't move without their own Coachman tho the Brewer [Whitbread] has offerd his black to do the dirty Work." Eldon, in a huge wig, holds the Purse of the Great Seal; he says: "We must hire Jobs for the Night Work but we are Pro' Rogued." McMahon, in military uniform, has a number of ribbons and stars hanging over his arm; he says: "These Garters & Ribbonds are all returned."

"The interior of a church (? the Chapel Royal) showing pulpit, side-gallery, and pews beneath the gallery. Wilkes (left) is the preacher, beneath him is his clerk, Pitt. At a right angle to the gallery is the royal pew (right), from which the King looks with earnest attention to the preacher. Queen Charlotte, her fingers to her mouth, also listens attentively. A lady-in-waiting and a courtier with a long wand (Lord Salisbury, the Lord Chamberlain) stand behind. The pew is decorated with the royal arms and has a canopy. In the centre of the gallery sit the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert; he turns away from the preacher, looking at her. Behind him stands George Hanger; behind Mrs. Fitzherbert sits a man looking at Wilkes through a spy-glass. Between him and the royal pew are three men in legal wigs and gowns: Pepper Arden, Dundas, and (?) Kenyon. Between the Prince and the pulpit sit North (asleep) and Burke, looking intently at Wilkes; a lady (? Duchess of Devonshire) attempts to wake North. In the seats under the gallery sit parties of citizens, in general asleep or inattentive. Below the royal pew stands Fox on a low stool as a penitent draped in a sheet; he wears a placard inscribed 'For Playing Cards on the Lord's Day'. A stout lady with an aquiline nose stands near Pitt; with a raised whip she chases a number of dogs out of the church. She has some resemblance to the Duchess of Gordon, a friend of Pitt. Immediately behind Mrs. Fitzherbert and between two Gothic windows is a wall-tablet inscribed: 'This Tablet is erected to the memory of the renowned Plenipotentiary who died by the bow string a short time after his return to Algiers.

"Notorious rakes and gamblers ride or run furiously towards rays descending from a sun in the upper left corner of the design inscribed 'Chance'; its centre, a segment of which is visible, is composed of the letters on an 'E.O.' (roulette) table (cf. British Museum Satires No. 5928). The foremost pair are the Duke of Clarence and the Prince of Wales; the Duke, slightly ahead, wears a chamber-pot on his head marked with an anchor (cf. British Museum Satires No. 7909) and sits behind Mrs. Jordan, who cries, "Push away! that's your sort!" He cries, "Straight Sailing! that's your sort!" Both the horses have human heads; that of the Duke says, "I'm the Sort for Leading; that of the Prince is Fox." The Prince's hat with feathers and the motto 'Ich dien' flies from his head, two women sit behind him; the one holding his waist (? Mrs. Crouch) says, "No Jealous Fitz - that's your sort!" The other, seated behind her, holds the end of the Prince's shirt, she has a large fox's brush and is probably Mrs. Armistead; she says, "Well done Charley! That's your sort!" The Prince says, "I'm the sort for a Widow - she's done over!" Mrs. Fitzherbert has fallen from the horse into a stream and holds out her arms towards the Prince. From the water emerges a post inscribed 'Styx', a bridge or culvert beside it is 'Hazard'. Behind this group the Duke of York runs forward, wearing a hat made of playing-cards surmounted by a teetotum inscribed 'ABC....' In his right hand he holds out a dice-box inscribed 'Oat - ' shaking from it two dice inscribed 'la' and 'nds' (he had recently bought Oatlands); in his left is a tennis racquet. He wears regimentals; the ribbon across his shoulder is formed of playing-cards; at his back is a knapsack full of 'Tennis Balls' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 7903) which resemble guineas. He says, "I'm the sort! for running out!" For his gaming see British Museum Satires No. 7301 (5), &c. Just behind him ride three bloods with cropped hair, wearing the high hats, long breeches, and coats with shawl collars hanging away from the neck which such young men affected (see British Museum Satires No. 8040, &c). The one nearest the spectator rides a horse with a bandage over his eyes inscribed 'Lottery Hack'; he looks up, regardless of the fact that he is riding into a pit, and points with his long whip to a castle resting on clouds inscribed 'Illegal Insurance' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 7750); he says, "That's your sort - I'm in for it - I shall do the deep Ones!" The other two shout, "Go it! Dam'me! that 's your sort!" and "Dam Trade! Life and a Racer! that 's your sort." Behind this group is a couple on a galloping horse: a stout jovial woman wearing breeches rides astride, waving her whip, behind her sits an anxious-looking elderly citizen, wearing petticoats. He says, "We're the wrong side of Temple Bar, my dear, we are only the sort to be laughed at"; she answers, "Peace good Mr Jerry Candle-wick, its life! and Life and the Breeches! thats the sort." By their horse's head is a signpost inscribed 'Rotten Row', with a pointing hand inscribed 'Hoyle' (on Whist), the vertical post inscribed 'Crim. con.' The last rider is a stout woman, probably Mrs. Hobart (noted for her faro-table, see British Museum Satires No. 8167), on a rocking-horse inscribed 'Faro'; she carries on her arm a wicker cage containing pigeons and says, "Unplucked Pidgeons! that's the sort." In the foreground on the extreme right an elderly Jew sits on a bank watching the mad race with a smile; he says, "50 per Cent! dats de sort! if dey ride to de Devil, dey leave coot Security behind, Ah! Security! dot's de sort." Near him is a card house; at his feet is the Knave of Clubs. In the front of the design and near the Duke of York are other playing cards (left to right): four aces, the two of diamonds, King of Hearts, and (?) Queen of Diamonds, the last two having some resemblance to George III and Queen Charlotte."--British Museum online catalogue

"design in two strips, one headed the intention, the other (below), the fact. Each strip is divided into three compartments of unequal width. [1] Two councils sit, each round a circular table. On the left is 'An Infernal Council'. The Devil, irradiated, presides at a meeting of six demons. He says "Such is the Plan Now choose your Parts". The three on his right hand say (right to left): "Blasphemy Atheism & P-----st-----y [Priestley] are mine. I will assist B--r--g--n [? Barrington] F-----zh------t [Fitzherbert] & the Catholicks in their Bigotry & Ambition. And I Pr------e [Price] & such as are full of Disaffection & Treason". The three on the Devil's left say (right to left): "I will patronize L--ns--y [Lindsey] Speciousness Low Cunning. &c. I will help K-----p------s [Kippis] &c. to furnish the press with suitable Trash. And I will be at hand to assist whenever I am Wanted." The other conclave is 'A Nocturnal Council'. A monk and six ministers sit round a table. A minister resembling Price says, "A Republick is the best Form of Government". On his left is the monk, who says, "All religious Establishment is absurd, (aside) except Popery". On Price's right, and in profile to the left, is Priestley, saying, "And thus we will lay Gun Powder Grain by Grain till we blow up the Constitution". Lindsey, on the extreme right, says, "We must become Bad Citizens before they will grant us the Privileges of good Ones". The other three, who are in back view, say respectively: "We must propose a Test to the Candidates; Meanwhile we must send a Deputation to other Ministers"; and "We must promise Fox our Support at the next general Election". Priestley wrote that he was assisted by friends of the hierarchy in the 'disposition of grains of gunpowder' which would certainly blow it up. 'Letters to the rightev. Edward Burn'. This was quoted by Burke in the debate. 'Parl. Hist.', xxviii. 438. (Cf. BMSat 7632, &c.) But it appears that he quoted from a printed extract circulated with misleading omissions. See 'An Arranged Catalogue of the several Publications . . .' 1790, p. 30 n. (B.M.L. 126, i. g.). The dissenters had agreed to resolutions declaring that at the (pending) general election they would support only men 'Well affected to the cause of civil and religious liberty'. This Pitt denounced as the imposition of a test. 'Parl. Hist.', xxviii. 408-9; see also p. 444. See BMSat 7630. [2] The next design is 'The Deputation Rejected'. A man (left), hat in hand, approaches four ministers wearing bands and three-cornered hats, who turn away from him; their spokesman says: "We plainly perceive that Popery and Infidelity will be the Result of your Measures - therefore - we will not join you." They are probably Methodists. [3] The third design is 'A Future K-----g & Q------n at their Devotion'. A king and queen wearing crowns and royal robes kneel at a console table supported by a harpy, which serves as altar (right). On it is a crucifix, above it hangs a half length portrait of a Pope. Burke in monastic robes (cf. BMSat 6026) enters through a door (left), saying, "Lord now lettest thou thy Servant depart in peace . . for mine Eyes have seen thy Salvation." The king and queen do not appear to be portraits (though probably intended for the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert). Burke, who had absented himself from the House during the debates on repeal of 1787 and 1788, voted against the motion. [4] In the lower strip the first design is 'The Mortifying Report'. Fox (left) holds out to four men standing behind a circular table a large placard inscribed: 'For the Repeal 105 Against It 294 Majority 189' (they are the chief members of the 'Nocturnal Council' above): the monk says "It is our determination never to Rest until we enjoy Civil and Military Power". Stanhope says "I am now resolved to try it in our House". Price, raising his fist, says, "Nothing will be done for us 'till some great Calamity again Alarm our fears, or some great abuse of Power provoke our Resentment". Priestley says: "The Conversion of S--l--s D------n to Atheism was but an Introduction to what I intended to do on ye Repeal". For Silas Deane see BMSats 6288, 6303. He died suddenly, 23 Sept. 1789, 'having ruined himself and family, and deranged France and America with the charming words, Liberty, Constitution and Rights'. 'Gent. Mag.' 1789, p. 867. [5] 'The Death bed Avowal of S--l--s D------e*' A man lies in a large four-post bed; a parson wearing a surplice stands behind it, his hands raised in horror, saying, "No God! who taught you that Doctrine?" He answers "Dr P------s-----y. *The Particulars of this awful & interesting Conversion to Atheism may be seen in a Pamphlet entitled Theodosius, & sold with or without the Print" (marginal note). Deane died on board the Boston packet in the Downs, having intended to visit Canada. In 'Theodosius' is related a supposed conversation and dying confession of Silas Deane. This was quoted in the 'Gent. Mag.' 1790, p. 383 (May) with a contradiction by Priestley, ibid., pp. 384, 385, who stated that he had never had any conversation on religion with Deane. For Priestley and death cf. BMSats 5644, 7892. [6] The last scene is 'FINIS'. A swarm of flying demons with webbed wings drag, by threads attached to their noses, the seven members of the 'Nocturnal Council' towards the flames of Hell (right). One says to Price, the foremost, "Come along most learned Doctor I have always led you by the Nose - so dont mind it now". Another says, "I fear they will set H------l in an Uproar". Three others say respectively: "How the Dogs Quarrel, they'll get to fighting soon"; "Here comes the precious Set, & a fine parcel of Divinity it is"; and "They are such seditious Rascals, they will strive to overturn Our Government". On the extreme left a seventh demon kicks the rearmost (Priestley), saying, "Get along Joey 'tis too late to recant Now besides we love you too well to part with you". Priestley says "O! S-----s D------n! [Silas Deane] Oh Mercy! Pardon! I recant I recant". The next two turn round furiously towards Priestley, saying, "Dog! I'll ease my Tortures by tormenting You", and, "Blasphemous Villain! Your Curs'd Sophistry brought me here." The next two say "Oh Conscience! Horror! - Miserable Wretch!" and "Oh H-----l! H------l! hide me from myself". The monk says to Price, who is the leader of the group, "Curse your Republican Cant - you have ruined the Cause". Price answers, "No - tis admitting ye Whore of Babilon into ye Confediracy have undone us.""--British Museum online catalogue
