"The Tree of Liberty (cf. BMSat 9214), often (in fact) a pole surmounted by a bonnet-rouge, is here a pike on which is the bleeding head of Fox, the eyes covered by a cap inscribed 'Libertas'. Round the base of the pike and on a grassy mound are heaped the heads of the Foxites. The six heads at the base of the pile are (left to right): Thelwall, a little apart from the others; beside him is a paper: 'Lectures upon the Fall of the Republic by J. Thelwall' (see BMSat 8685); against his head lies the blade of a headsman's axe; Derby (in 'profil perdu'), Lauderdale, Stanhope, M. A. Taylor, and Hanger. The two central heads are Erskine and Sheridan; next the latter is Horne Tooke. Behind, and forming the apex of the pile, are the head of (?) Grey [Incorrectly identified in Wright and Evans as Wilkes. It is possible that the head here identified as Grey is Byng, and that identified as Bedford is Grey.] in profile to the left and the handsome head of (?) Bedford. In the background are clouds, and below (right) the top of a hill."--British Museum online catalogue

"Fox stoops to support on his back Horne Tooke, who is about to climb into the window of 'St Stephe[n's] Chap[el]', the name on a slab over the door, partly cut off by the right margin. The door is being closed by Lord Temple, who says: "He shall not pollute this holy Temple". Tooke rests his right foot on Fox's back, his hands grasping the sill; his left toe is in a cranny in the wall above a placard headed: 'Old Sarum Dilly takes only one at the Brazenface'. He looks down at Fox, saying, "don't give way I am not quite in Yet". Fox, his head towards the door, one foot supported on a book: 'Powerfull Reasons for Non attendance', says: "Come on with you!! and mind and button your great Coat to hide the Old Cassock." Tooke's greatcoat hangs open, showing his coat, and the skirt of a short cassock over knee-breeches. On the wall beside him is a torn placard: 'A New Edition The Diversions of Purley by the Rev John H...' The keystone of the arch over the door, on the extreme right, is a satyr's head, leering at Tooke with protruding tongue."--British Museum online catalogue

"Naval mutineers, seated and standing at a long table, glare ferociously at Admiral Buckner, who stands (left) calmly, hat in hand, in profile to the right at the foot of the table. The man at the head of the table, seated in a chair which is higher than the others, holds a blunderbuss and wears a hat. He must be Richard Parker, but does not resemble him. At his elbow and on the extreme right stands Thelwall filling a glass from a 'Grog' can; he says "Tell him we intend to be Masters, I'll read him a Lecture"; from his pocket hangs a paper: 'Thellwals Lecture' (see British Museum Satires No. 8685). One man only is seated on the president's left and on the near side of the table. He places a fist on a long paper headed 'Resolutions'. Under the table in the foreground, lifting up the tablecloth, five secret instigators are (left to right): Lauderdale, holding a paper: 'Letter from Sheerness to Ld L------le'; Horne Tooke, Stanhope, Grey, Fox, the most prominent, saying, "Aye, Aye, we are at the bottom of it", and Sheridan. All have satisfied smiles. Four ruffians are seated at the farther side of the table, others stand behind them; one aims a pistol over the admiral's head, one man smokes, another chews tobacco, taking a quid from his box. Weapons lie on the table. On the wall behind them are a print of Britannia head downwards, and two torn ballads: 'True Blue an old Song' and 'Hearts of Oak are our Ships Jolly Tars are our men We alway are Ready', the last word scored through. On the right the slanting window of the captain's cabin is indicated."--British Museum online catalogue

"A flying demon holds the level beam of a pair of scales, on which stand Wilkes (left) and Parson Horne (right). Each stands in the attitude of a fencer, thrusting at the other with an outstretched goose-quill; neither has the advantage. Wilkes wears a bag-wig, Horne is in parson's gown and bands. The demon says: "nicely pois'd indeed". The print illustrates "The Balance of Honour and Patriotism; or a Dialogue between Mr. H------and Mr. ------, in which the Demon of Discord very properly interferes". The dialogue ends with Horne's expressing a wish "that you, good Mr. Devil, had been conducting me to H------ll, before Malagrida [Shelburne] had persuaded me to engage in this d------n'd controversy"."--British Museum online catalogue
