"Hastings stands in a two-wheeled cart under a gibbet. Fox places the rope round his neck; Burke also stands in the cart dressed as a parson, in a long gown and bands, holding an open book. Sheridan (right) pushes the cart from behind, looking at North (left) who holds the horse's head. Large scrolls issue from the mouths of all five and are an important part of the design: Hastings says, "Walpole said every Man had his Price but Alass! I never could find out any of your Prices." Burke says "A Poor Atonement this for Millions &c." Fox says "A Poor Atonement do you call it Ned! Egad it would have been adevil of a Job for me, if my F------r had made such an atonement for------Unaccounted Millions." (Lord Holland was called in a City Address to the King 'the public defaulter of unaccounted millions'.

Abstract:
"Satire on differences among parliamentary constituencies instructing their members variously to insist on an investigation into the conduct of Robert Walpole's administration, or to desist and to support new government measures. In a large compartment at the top, a balance hangs from the ceiling in which a glove representing the challenge from the City of London to allow the investigation outweighs two men representing Bristol and Nottingham who oppose it. The City challenge is supported by members for Stafford, Dorset, Edinburgh, York and Westminster, standing to left, while behind them the old Tory Opposition now supporting City interests; in the centre, City tradesmen wave their hats and cheer. On the right, a servant pulls down on the scale containing Bristol and Nottingham, turning back to answer a group of unhappy government double-faced supporters. In the centre foreground, a large dog urinates on two small dogs; on the wall behind, a picture of Liberty or Britannia on the left, is juxtaposed with one, on the right, showing a man chained by the foot to a block. In the compartment at lower left, "A M[inisteria]l Forge", a blacksmith stands at an anvil hammering out the "Lie of the day". Ready-forged lies hang on the wall, "Hanov[er] Spurs", "Party Scissars", "Debt Bridles", "Tax Skrens" (a mistake for screws), "State Forks", "Law Pincers", "Eccles[iastical] Hooks", "Parl[iamentary] Bars" and "Session Fetters". On the right, an assistant hands two journalists, "Representat[ion]" and Art[icle] ag[ains]t West[minste]r" saying "to be every day in the Gazetteer", to which the journalists reply, "I want a Hook for Bristol" and "this is fit for Nottingham". On the left, a man pumps the bellows at the forge; a monkey on the beam, cries, "my Guts are coming out" as it defecates papers labelled, "Repres[entation]", "Gazetteer", "False Return", "Indict[ment]" and "Season Export". A man sits on a latrine labelled, "T[reasur]y Bog house/Repres[entations] Bristol/Repres[entations] Notting[ha]m", saying "I'll do thir Business for them" and writing on a paper headed "West[minste]r". In the compartment at lower right, "The Worcester Magician", a large fool stands in the centre, saying "Alls done in my Name, ha! ha! Am n't I a clever fellow", another fool standing at a table to left weighs "Instructions" and "Cringes", the latter brought in a basket by a servant; to right, an official holds out a purse and with his staff splits, "in the name of Corruption", a double-headed figure representing Samuel Sandys and Thomas Winnington, the two members of parliament for Worcester, one holding out "Cringes" and saying "I obey your Wand", the other, holding "Instructions" and exclaiming, "Delicate Guardians!"."--British Museum online catalogue

Call Number:
LWL Mss Vol. 74
Image Count:

Resource Type:

Abstract:
Manuscript on paper, in a single hand, of copies of 20 letters from Alured Clarke to Charlotte, Lady Sundon, followed by copies of 4 letters to her from Lord John Hervey and one letter from an unsigned hand. Many of the letters from Clarke concern his patronage of the poet Stephen Duck, in which he discusses his anxiety about exposing Duck to the cruelty of Alexander Pope and "the Dunciad Club," his negotiations with various booksellers and publishers on Duck's behalf, and his high hopes for Duck's poetry after the death of Duck's wife. He also describes books on religion, history, and moral philosophy that he has read; witnesses a presentation of "Indians" to the Queen; and imparts various religious and political news, including Quaker activities. The letters from Hervey consist primarily of descriptions of his own routine social activities as well as those of such notables as the King, Queen, and Duke of Grafton, though he also writes with surprise that Stanislaus has been chosen King of Poland and reports that Benjamin Hoadly, Bishop of Salisbury, is on the brink of being promoted to the bishopric of Winchester, despite his disagreements with Sir Robert Walpole. An unsigned letter dated 1734, sent "by a private hand," discusses the controversial nomination of Thomas Rundle to the see of Gloucester
Description:
Charlotte Clayton, Lady Sundon (c.1679-1742), courtier, married William Clayton (baptised. 1671, died 1752) of Sundon Hall in Bedfordshire before 1714. With the help of the Duchess of Marlborough, Charlotte Clayton was appointed a woman of the bedchamber to Caroline, princess of Wales in 1714. Her considerable influence over Caroline was distressing to Robert Walpole, who accused Clayton of procuring various political favors for her friends., Alured Clarke (1696-1742), was a Church of England clergyman. Ordained by his uncle Bishop Trimnell in 1720, in 1723 he became rector of Chilbolton in Hampshire and a prebendary of Winchester. He was a chaplain-in-ordinary to both George I and George II; in 1731, he became a prebendary of Westminster. Later he became deputy clerk of the closet to George II. Clarke was also a patron; he founded a county hospital at Winchester in 1736 and was a champion of the poet Stephen Duck., John Hervey, second Baron Hervey of Ickworth (1696-1743), was a courtier and writer. On 2 April 1725 he was elected MP for Bury St Edmunds, and entered the Commons as a supporter of Sir Robert Walpole. In 1730, he became vice-chamberlain to the king's household and, consequently, a member of the privy council; and, in 1740, lord privy seal. However, in 1742 Walpole resigned, and that same year Hervey also left public office. He wrote numerous tracts, including Ancient and Modern Liberty Stated and Compared (1734); The Conduct of the Opposition and the Tendency of Modern Patriotism (1734); and Miscellaneous Thoughts (1742). Hervey's Memoirs were published, with some material suppressed, in 1848, and a more complete version was published in 1931., In English., Pasted onto back pastedown: dealer's description of manuscript., Phillipps 18548., Binding: full calf.
