"A little boy (looking more like a girl) in a frock and cross-gartered shoes, with short, untidy hair, stands agressively, one foot raised to kick, fists clenched. At his feet are a battledore and shuttlecock and a doll; above his head hangs a canary in a cage. He shouts: I dont like Dolls!-I dont like Canary Birds-I hate Battledore and Shuttlecock, I like Drums, and Trumpets-I wont go to school-I will stay at home-I will have my own way in every thing!! The mother, an ugly middle-aged woman (right), in an old-fashioned dress, with a cap and apron, stoops towards him, saying, Bless the Baby-what an aspiring spirit-if he goes on in this way-he will be a second Buonaparte! Behind her (right) stands a pretty nursemaid holding a younger child who screams and waves a rattle."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An elderly schoolmaster sits by a writing-table, in profile to the right, addressing an old countrywoman who faces him, making a slight curtsey. Behind her (right) are four little boys, two with bags of books slung from the shoulder. The schoolmaster, who wears night-cap, slippers, and buttoned overcoat or dressing-gown, says: "Good woman you are always making complaints against my Scholars, what have they done to offend you now?" She answers: "Please your Honors Worship they followd me up and down--and said one to another--At her!--beat her! damn her!--pelt her!-- and a great deal more that I do not recollect". The leader of the boys, bowing, cap in hand, says: "Indeed Sir, we were only repeating our Greek Alphabet, in order to get quite perfect--what the Old Woman heard was only Alpha--Beta-- Gamma--Delta--and so on to the conclusion". The boys' expressions indicate a successful conspiracy."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"Mrs. Clarke (right), seated on a settee, addresses a fat parson in an arm-chair who registers excitement, with leg and arms raised, and wig flying from his head. Between them is a table; by Mrs. Clarke are papers headed: Army Preferment and Church Preferment. The parson, turning up his eyes, says: O-how I should like to preach before Royalty. She says, with extended palm, Only pay the Clarkes Fees, and the business is done. Between them hangs a placard: So great on the Church were O'Meara's designs, That he prov'd too ambitious a spark, But where is the wonder ye learned Divines, That the Parson should follow the Clarke."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Mrs. Clarke stands between Wardle and Wright, arms akimbo, an impudent and alluring virago. Wardle turns his head from her to speak to General Clavering, who stands on the extreme left. Clavering, in regimentals, his cocked hat poised absurdly on the top of his head, stands glaring angrily at Mrs. Clarke; he says: I intend to commence an Action against her for obtaining Mony under false pretences in the case of French's Levy -- I'll teach her to send Gentlemen to Newgate. Wardle, in civilian dress, answers: Leave her to me Ill touch her up in the Furniture Business. Mrs. Clarke says: I dont care a fig for any of you -- and as to you Mr Furniture Monger [Wardle]--ll be before hand with you. Wright, the upholsterer, stands behind her (right); he looks to the left scowling, and says: Thats a good girl follow him up--ll back you Ill let him know who's Wright and whose Wrong. If I dont enter an action against him I am no Upholsterer. On the extreme right and in profile to the left, stands Serjeant Best, in wig and gown, holding a large Brief, with turn over at the bottom of the first page. He looks slyly towards all four, saying, That's right my good Friends it is All for the Best."--British Museum online catalogue.

"George III sits on the throne (right) partly concealed (as in British Museum Satires No. 10709) by a pillar which supports the heavy draperies of a canopy. The Duke of York, wearing shirt, breeches, and boots, kneels before him, with bowed back, a handkerchief held to his face. Beside him and at the King's feet, are his military coat, hat, sword, and a paper: 'Resignation'.

"A man sells rabbits at the door of a corner-house (right); an ugly old woman sniffs at a rabbit, saying, "Sweet indeed why it smells Quite Strong"; a pretty young maidservant stands beside her. The man answers: "Yes Ma'am and so would you were you held in the same position". He holds the rabbits slung to the ends of a pole held across his shoulder, with another bunch in his left hand. A dog bites at the rabbits behind the man's back to the amusement of a chimney-sweep's boy (left), who passes by, bent under his bag of soot. The houses on the opposite side of the cobbled street are old-fashioned, gabled, and irregular; against one (left) is a bulk or stall inscribed 'Coblers Work Done here', the cobbler leans out to talk to a woman. Next is the sign of 'The Flowerpot'."--British Museum online catalogue.
