" A grave-digger (l.) resting on his spade holds out in his left hand a decayed skull towards a skeleton-like man wearing an old-fashioned tie-wig, who is sitting on a rectangular tomb while he leans his right. elbow on another tomb at right angles to his seat. This man holds a scythe in his left hand, a pen in his right. He uses the second tomb as a writing table; an ink-pot stands upon it. His hand rests on two papers inscribed "Marcus Aurelius Servius Tullius . . ." and "Addison - Dr. Swift". From the jaws of the skull held by the grave-digger issue the words,"Life is a jest & all things shew it I thought so once but now I know it." In the foreground are bones and a skull; in the background (l.) a rat scampers away."--British Museum catalogue

"Satire on Samuel Martin's duel with Wilkes. On the left, two Scotsmen support Lord Sandwich who is holding up a copy of Wilkes's Essay on Woman saying, "This will do for him I warrant ye". In front of them the diminutive figure of Samuel Martin fires a shot at a mouse representing Wilkes. In the centre, behind Martin, a group of four men express their horror at the Essay: Kidgell proclaiming, "I'll publish a Narrative about it", Bishop Warburton holding up a copy and condemning it as blasphemy, and Lord Lyttleton crying, "O 'tis so shocking I can't bear it." In the centre, a Scot (Bute?) wearing a bonnet with a feather draws his sword at the mouse. To the right, Britannia, naked to the waist, swoons as a rat representing Bute attacks her heart; she is attended by Newcastle, Temple, Pitt and Cumberland. Engraved inscriptions and speech-balloons, letterpress title and verses in two columns, and one vertical and one horizontal segment of type ornament."--British Museum online catalogue
