"A sequence of six designs in two rows. [1] 'Begging before the Door of his Benefactor.' Young Leach, as a crossing-sweeper, holds out his hat to a gentleman who amiably puts in a coin. The latter walks away from a street-door with a plate inscribed 'Sir Robt Taylor'. [2] 'In the Service of his Benefactor.' Leach, as a young footman in livery, walks behind Taylor and his wife, who are returning from a country church. He carries cane and prayer-book. [3] 'As Clerk to his Benefactor.' Leach writes at a desk in a bare room, with a shelf of books high on the wall. [4] 'Now a Lawyer!!!' He sits in a well-furnished room, smilingly giving advice to a dismayed client (cf. British Museum Satires No. 11931, &c.). [5] 'Becomes a Counsellor!!! Thanks to his Benefactor.' Scene in court, with a crowded gallery. As one of a row of barristers Leach makes an impassioned appeal to the judge. [6] 'And now a Judge!!! Thanks to the Nation.' From the bench he looks down at a row of barristers. After the title: 'Every Merit should be Awarded to a Man for having raised himself from Beggary to so prominent a Station. The utmost Hatred, does that Man deserve who would create Despotism in our Land.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Heading to a printed broadside. An enormous leech with the head and wig of Sir John Leach (see British Museum Satires No. 13740) advances menacingly upon three little men (right) who flee. Three others (left) register disgust, holding their noses. They say: "Tom T--dman's cart is nothing to compare to it; It stinks worse than a Pole-cat; D--n it what a Stench." A woman staggers backwards, saying: "Bring me a Smelling Bottle or I shall Die." One man lies on the ground fainting or dead. The leech is backed by clouds of smoke. Below the title: "The common damn'd shun its society, and think themselves fiends less foul." The text describes 'the Great Black Leech lately discovered at Milan . . .' procured 'at a great expense, at the special instance of the State "Doctor" [Sidmouth], . . . for 'the performance of an operation to relieve the Great Man's complaint' (a troubled mind). It was abortive and he is 'worse than ever'. Attempts to check its 'vicious propensities' were vain 'until Dr. Hone skilfully applied some "printer's ink" to it'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
In an underground drinking den Tom Idle, with a pistol at his foot and another in his pocket, shows his stolen goods to his one-eyed accomplice unaware that behind him his companion (the prostitute) from the garret bedroom (Plate 7) is betraying him to the magistrate and constables. A serving woman with a patch where her nose should be approaches the two thieves with a large tankard in her hands. To their right, the body of a man is being pushed through a trapdoor. In the far right a soldier with his back to the viewer embraces a woman. In the background there is a brawl while two other men sit by the fireside, one of whom is smoking a pipe before a roaring fire, the other asleep under a rope (noose?). The right of the frame is decorated with a scourge, manacles and a hangman's rope; on the left frame hang the mace of the City of London, the alderman's gold chain and a sword of state
