Abstract:
"A lean and grotesquely ugly old parson, wearing cap and gown, sits in his college room with a pretty young woman on his knee. She puts an arm round his neck and warms a foot at a blazing fire, on which stands a large coffee-pot. Her (large) straw bonnet and gloves are on the ground. Through a high Gothic window (right) two other Fellows look in, much amused. Behind him and against his chair is a table covered with punch-bowl, lemons, a decanter, bottles of 'Gin', 'Rum', and 'Coniac', and a jar of 'Preserved Ginger', &c. On the floor beside it is a huge volume: 'Doomsday Book', with other books, one being 'Arratin' [Aretino], another (open) 'A Master of Arts / a Fellow Feeling for the human Race'. With these are spectacles, cork-screw, long pipe, tobacco-jar. On the high chimney-piece are a nymph disrobing, candlestick, medicine-bottles, jug, and a framed 'Oxford almanack'. Beside it hang a violin and bow. On the wall hang a chess-board and a bag, as in British Museum Satires No. 12161, with a notice: 'Term begins -- Term ends -- Long Vacation'. British Museum Satires No. 10811 by Rowlandson has the same title (from Mackenzie's novel)."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

A scene in a coffee-house. Two men, one in a queue wig and with a pistol, another in club wig and with a sword, are fighting a duel while three frightened customers are trying to leave and another one cowers behind a settee next to a low table with coffee service on it. Behind another settee, a barmaid holds up her hands in horror. The gentleman with the pistol uses it to parry the sword thrusts of his opponent whose forehead is bleeding. A cat with an arched back and a dog barks look at the scene from the left. The room is decorated with a large mirro and shelves with wine glases, china bowls, and pitchers

They are balloting for the admission of a member, according to the 'Authentic Rules of the Female Coterie' printed in the 'Gentleman's Magazine', 1770, p. 414, by which ladies balloted for men and men for ladies. The president sits in a raised chair, a hammer in her right hand; she says: "Mr Driver the New Member shall be admitted & duly return'd by me the proper Officer if upon examination he comes up to the Standard". Remarks from other ladies (left to right) are: "I hold up my hand for Mr Driver, if it had not been for him, several Noble Families would have been extinct that have now a numerous Issue"; "The ability of every Candidate ought to be strictly Examined"; "The Gentleman to be elected into this Society shall not be Husband to any of us"; "No our plan is to supply the deficiency of Husbands"; "I move for the Admission of Mr Driver as a Member. He has a promising Leg, an happy Assurance, & to crown the whole he is an Irishman"; "Lady H------n [Harrington] has her Reasons for not suffering Mr Driver to return to Ireland, but she must not Engross him all to herself".
