"Dissenters are engaged in burning churches and attacking the clergy. In the foreground a stout bishop on his knees is being kicked and assailed by men with bludgeons; beside him is a book: 'Refutation of Dr Price'. He exclaims, raising his hands, "Murder, fire, thieves". One of his assailants says, "Make room for the Apostle of Liberty"; the other, "God assisting us nothing is to be feared". Under this group is inscribed: 'And when they had smote the Shepherd, the Sheep were scattered'. Behind (right) a Gothic building, from which extends a sign of the Mitre and Crown, is being demolished. Price sits astride on the beam supporting the sign; in one hand is an open book, 'Love of our Country', in the other is a firebrand inscribed 'The Flame of Liberty'. Beneath, two men in steeple-crowned hats are feeding a fire with faggots, whose flame and smoke, inscribed '39 Articles', ascends in a thick cloud. Next the burning building, and on the extreme right, is a porch (over a doorway) in which stands Fox, blowing a horn and pointing down to a placard over the doorway: 'Places under Government to be disposed of. NB, Several Faro and E.O. Tables in good Condition'. An adjacent placard is: 'day next charity sermon by Revd chas Fox'. A group of eager fanatics with lank hair rushes towards the doorway, holding up to Fox money-bags inscribed '30.000', '10.000' and '20.000.' In the foreground (right) are two fanatics struggling for the bag of the Great Seal; one raises a mace inscribed 'Brotherly Love' to strike his opponent; under his foot is a paper: 'Repeal of the Test Act'. In the background (left) is a group of figures engaged in demolishing a church with pickaxes; a rope pulls over the cross on the steeple. Two of this group look towards Price: a parson inscribed 'P------ly' (Priestley) waves his hat, saying, "Make haste to pull down that old Whore and we'll build a new one in its place"; a lean man, fashionably dressed (evidently Stanhope), extends his arms, saying, "Address to Assemblee national"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state with similar composition

"Heading to a printed broadside. Four well-dressed men hold open a large bag, resting on the ground, in which stands a fifth, in profile to the right, who says indignantly to one of the openers: "Oh here you are--now for the Truth, the whole Truth & nothing but the Truth, by whose authority did you make Tools of the Clergy, to create divesions [sic] among their Parishione's [sic], & become sources of discord instead of Peace Makers." The other draws back disconcerted, answering: "Indeed it was not my master but the Pit Club, to whom the Nation is so much indebted." The first speaker rejoins: "Yes to whome the Nation is indebted 9 Hundred Millions." A slanting blast issues from the bag to the left, carrying into the air Wellington astride a cannon, who turns round to look anxiously down at the bag, and is followed by a cannon supported on clerical arms and legs and ridden by a bishop. The latter says: "my Minor Cannon are of little use." A little man (? Canning) runs in the blast, below Wellington. Smoke surrounds the bag. The text is the speech of Mr. Marsh at the Hampshire meeting on 12 Jan., when petitions to both Houses in favour of the Queen were resolved on. The plate illustrates a passage from the facetious printed speech: 'Besides the Ultras had a terrible weight of metal for the fight. They could muster all the great guns from Portsmouth; and if these did not do execution enough, they had at hand the little canons of Winchester.'"--British Museum online catalog
