Abstract:: "Mrs. Clarke, in a two-wheeled dog-cart, drives two asses tandem: the leader has the head of the Duke of York, the wheeler that of Wardle; the former looks round, kicking the latter violently. Beside her sits Wright, vulgarly smart, holding his bill headed Col Wardle to T Wright. Items follow, the total being £300; below this figure is 200, scored through and not allowed. She flourishes her whip, saying: "Altho I dont keep a barouche of my own, "I've a fine stud of Asses and They're all the Ton [cf. British Museum Satires No. 10638] Come up Neddy's Now you shall see how I manage my Ponies, I can turn them as easy as I can myself the leader Fred I have been flogging lately, & he has taken to kick this poor Devil Gwilly most unmercifully I have but lately brore [sic] him into the Shafts. Wright turns to her, saying, Aye Aye. you have done Wright. Behind the dog-cart canters a third ass, branded D, and ridden by a young military officer, with a letter in his pocket: To Cap D. He says: Come up Dowley! I hope I shall soon be admitted to a more favored situation; I have been in waiting long enough.

Abstract:: "Peel kicks a lean old watchman behind, and drags from his shoulders his patched and tattered coat. Just behind him (right) is a big bonfire in which a watch-box and battered lanterns are blazing; beside it lie more lanterns, a rattle, and staves. In the background a watchman hangs by the neck from the branch of a tree, still holding rattle and lantern. Beside the tree is a pond from which projects an arm clutching a rattle. Peel says: '"But such a poor, bare-forked animal as thou art--Off--off you lendings: come unbutton here vide Shaks--' ["Lear", III. iv]. The terrified watchman answers: '"Nay, take my life and all, pardon not that: You take my house, when you do take the prop That doth sustain my house; you take my life, When you do take the means whereby I live, vide Shaks.'

Abstract:: "A hand printing-press of metal (a Stanhope Press), supported on the stout legs of a man in breeches which seem to belong to a John Bull, puts to flight mere pigmy humans: two flee to the right, one propelled by a kick from a huge buckled shoe; two others have fallen. Two levers or handles serve as arms; one has a hand which grasps a giant pen, the feather entwined with three serpents which spit flame at the departing legs and cocked hat of Wellington, who, kicked into the air, disappears behind the upper right margin of the design. Another pair of legs, with the black stockings and buckled shoes of Eldon, project from the upper left margin; beside them a single leg and a broom indicate the departing Brougham. A second lever supports a print, 'The Man Wot Drives The Sovereign', copied from British Museum satires no. 15731; a flame issues from the press, threatening to scorch or destroy the print. The press is topped by a cap of Liberty inscribed 'Free Press' and encircled with a wreath. A little demon (a printer's devil) rushes towards the press from the left, holding up a big ink-ball."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Thurlow, in his Chancellor's wig and gown, kicks with much vigour the back of a bishop whom he urges along a road in the direction of a signpost (right) pointing 'To Durham' (the only title of the print). The bishop wears a mitre, a gown, and extravagantly large lawn sleeves; his left hand is raised deprecatingly, his right is behind his back as if to ward off the Chancellor's kick. Thurlow's arms are raised above his head; in his right hand is his hat. In the background (left) is a cathedral; a devil flying over it indicates that it is Lincoln. Beneath the design is engraved a dialogue between the two brothers: 'Græcari Nescio - Apage Thomas, Græcari non est Græci Loqui, sed est Epulari, Saturari, Expleri, Satiari, Helluari - Epulas quadrifariam vel Centifariam dispertire - In Capite, fortunisque hominum Te longe longeque honestiorum dominari - Ohe!
