Abstract:: "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

Abstract:: "Fox, wearing a military cocked hat, with civilian dress, threatens Prussia (or Frederick William III) with his sabre, while he puts a foot on the sword that Prussia has dropped. The latter, a grotesque figure with a long pigtail and moustaches, kneels terrified at his feet, clasping his hands in supplication. His Death's Head Hussar cap falls from his thrown-back head; he wears a fur-trimmed cloak and tunic, with a badge of the Prussian Eagle on his sleeve, with half-boots and extravagant spurs. Fox says, with an expression of sour and calculating contempt, " - O you Prussian Marauder, you! - what I've caught you at last? - what, You took me for a double-faced-Talleyrand! did you? - did you think I was like yourself, to Look One way & Row another? - what you thought because I make Loyal Speeches now, that I must be a Turncoat? - O you Frenchified Villain! - I'll teach you to humbug & insult my poor, dear, dear Master? - & to join with such Rascals as Boney, & O'Conner!" Prussia exclaims, terrified, "indeed! indeed! indeed! I could not help it. - " Meanwhile, Napoleon, holding his sabre, and wearing feathered bicorne, with spurred jack-boots, furtively hastens up to Fox from behind, to read the open book which the latter displays to him behind his back: 'State of the Nation'.

Abstract:: "The Duke of Clarence, in admiral's uniform, stands with his back to the sea, gazing upwards and to the left with a malignant stare; his right fist is clenched; in his left hand he clutches papers docketed 'Calu[mnie]s'. He declaims (adapting Satan's address to the sun, 'Paradise Lost', iv, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13896, &c.): "O thou that with surpassing Glory shine, "And in whose train the stars attendant wait, Of thee I speak, but with no friendly Voice, And add thy name O Cinthia to tell thee How I hate thy brightness!!!" He apostrophizes the moon, a disk in the sky enclosing a bust portrait of the Queen, on a dark ground patterned with large five-pointed stars which are partly covered by cloud (hiding 'their diminished heads'). In the sea behind is a man-of-war in full sail, the 'Queen Caroline' (left), firing a stern-shot at the Duke; she flies a large flag on which are the Royal Arms, with the motto: 'Honi. soit qui mal y pense', and two pennants: 'Vox Populi' and 'Victoria'. A ship's boat, the 'True Blue' (right), is rowed by sailors; the helmsman stands up to wave his hat and shout towards the Duke's back "The Queen for Ever!!!" One asks: "Jack is that a Sailor!" Another answers: "Da--n me if I know there's no English true blue about him!" Below the title: 'Our Duke and no Duke, what with looking so blue In his coat and his learning, and chastisement too; His tricks on such Ultra-top-gallant mast pinnacles, -- Pestering lieutenants and poking at binnacles; -- Ultra opinions, and ultra suggestions, Cross quips, and cross quiddits, and very cross questions; His going so far beyond all other sailors, In cutting up true-blues, to brush up with tailors; And doing what never was yet done by seamen, By crossing the line of all feeling tow-rds women; Has played such a part to discolour the Queen, That the wags have entitled him Ultra-Marine.'"--British Museum online catalogue
