- "From slits in a huge green bag, labelled 'Evidence against the Q...n', peer the heads of five witnesses against the Queen. Round it stand puzzled and apprehensive Ministers discussing their plans. Castlereagh, on the extreme left, faces Sidmouth who stands with flexed knees holding a constable's staff, one hand on the bag. He says: "Well Gentlemen! we are pretty well in for it now--we must lie through thick and thin to do any good, and get as many as we can to do the same, or it is all up with us; what say you Doctor have you any specific for the occasion." Sidmouth: "Friend Derry I could as soon produce the Philosophers stone or Elixir of Life but if your brazen face can't bring us through it is a forlorn hope, however here is some chance in the Bag!" The head of a man crouching in the Bag looks up to say: "Yes I have some choice Tales to communicate what with Bargemen--Chambermaids--W....s and Rogues, whom I have had the honor to associate with. I shall be able to COOK up a high seasoned dish that his M.....y will relish." On the right of the Bag stands Canning, scratching his head with a puzzled expression; he says: "Curse that City Hop Merchant [Wood] he has thrown bitter into this Brewing with a vengeance! I'll try what a dash of my wit will do, or we shall be obliged to swallow it ourselves!" A pretty female head looks up at him from the Bag, to say: "I say Mr. Flashman! don't stand scratching your head in that manner but hear what I have to tell you when a woman is determined on revenge she will stick at nothing to accomplish it--turn me away indeed for a little amusement with Peter, when my husband was out I hate such scrupulous Modesty. I'll swear any thing you wish." Three faces appear at smaller slits, saying respectively: "I'll swear!"; "So will I!"; "So will I to any lie." Eldon (right) in Chancellor's wig and gown, walks off to the right, holding a rolled document: 'Rex [vers]us Regina'. He says with a meditative frown: "Well Gentlemen I shall go home and consult about it. I dont like to decide too hastily Look before you leap ought to be the Motto of my Seal" [cf. British Museum Satires No. 15139, &c.]. Behind Castlereagh (left) is a table with writing materials; at his feet are bundles of papers labelled 'Foreign Newspapers' and 'Foreign Correspondence private'.."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Lady Perceval sits at an ornate writing-table, pen in hand. A serpent issues from her breast, coils round her arm, and darts its fang at the tip of her pen. She frowns meditatively, saying, "Now then for something strong but not libellous, I hate half measures we must rush upon the enemy--suprise [sic], astound him--and unhorse him by Terror--John Bull have at you! I'll open your eyes--." The table is littered with papers and books; some are docketed: 'For the Star', 'To the Editor of the Star', 'For the News', 'Extracts from the Book', one is 'Copy', a book is 'Politicks', and a large paper is displayed: 'Select Scraps from Shakespeare--with my own comments "Some achieve greatness "some have greatness thrust upon them .... Querie was this not the case with Nunky [Spencer Perceval], why not happen .... Son--.' Other papers and books lie on the floor: newspapers are 'The News' and 'The Star', a paper is headed 'Memorandums Billy Austin [see British Museum Satires No. 12027]--the Will--' Books are 'Life of Lord Nelson', 'A very Woman by Massinger', 'Machiavael', 'Johnson', 'Indiscretion a Novel', 'Don Quixote'. On the left John Mitford, identified by a letter in his coat-pocket 'To John Mit--', stands facing the wall, and hanging one picture over another: he places a view of a country inn, 'The Tigers Head' above one of '[War]burton's Mad House', saying, "Come this is a prettier picture than the other [left] shall catch some fish in this neighbourhood." He is fashionably dressed, wearing Hessian boots. This picture is on the left of a row: a large picture of 'Alecto' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 7721), naked, wreathed in serpents, and brandishing scourge and fire-brand, with a background of flames hangs between three-quarter length portraits of 'Lady Douglas' and 'Lady A Hamilton'. The former covers her face with a tragic gesture; a dagger lies on a table beside her, she seems to contemplate suicide. The latter clasps her hands. Over the chimneypiece (right) is a three-quarter length portrait of 'Lord P . . . . val' concealing his face with his hat; below, and partly hiding the frame, is a statuette of a knight killing a dragon. On the chimney-piece there is also a bottle labelled 'Cephalic' (for diseases of the head). Papers are burning in the grate, one inscribed 'To[o] Libellous'."--British Museum online catalogue

- "The Regent at the head of a table (left) on which are decanters and dessert, holds a consultation with five advisers. He sits on a dais, with his right leg thrown over an arm of his chair; the right arm over the back, spilling a glass of wine. He says jocosely: "Well my boys, I think now we shall succeed D--d fine evidence from the states of Barbary (if that cursed Hedgehog dont get hold of it; the very man that says he acted as Accoucheur I have got over every thing as clear as the Sun at noon day, I knew what fellows those Turks were, only once get her over there & the thing was accomplished,--now for a divorce as soon as possible, I have a tit bit in my eye, & if I dont yet get a son, say that I am not a chip of the old Block!!" At his right sits Castlereagh, with the Prince's feathers and motto on the back of his chair. He turns his head in profile, saying, "I'm an unmatched negociator [see British Museum Satires No. 12501] and I'll enter into a treaty with the House of commons to secure your suit." In his pocket is a paper: 'Negociat . . with the'. Lord Eldon faces Castlereagh; he wears his Chancellor's wig and gown; the Purse of the Great Seal hangs on the wall behind him. He says: "I'll stick to your highness through thick and thin or never call me Old Bags again as long as I live!!" At the foot of the table sits Ellenborough, in wig and gown, towards whom the other two members of the Cabinet turn in alarm. Liverpool (a poor portrait) sitting opposite Vansittart, says: "I have my doubts and qualms of conscience your highness what say you, Van?" Vansittart, in his Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown: "Oh my Lord I have some strange touches of feeling on the subject!" He sits on a sack inscribed 'Budget'; from a rent in it projects a paper: 'to . . . 6.000000'. Ellenborough shakes his fist at Vansittart, rising from his chair which overturns: "Dont put me in a passion with your qualms and your touches, they are all "false, false as Hell" I'll blow you all to the D--l if you dont stick to your Master manfully!!" On the floor beside him lie three large volumes, 'Law of Divorce [Vol. I]. Vol III, Vol II.' Behind the Regent hangs a portrait with the feet only showing: '[Hen]ry VIII'.

- Abstract:
- "A parody of British Museum Satires No. 10979 by Gillray. Queen Caroline and her supporters, realistically depicted, sleep round the dinner-table after dessert (at Brandenburgh House), their dreams are supported on clouds which hide the upper part of the wall. The Queen (left), dressed much as in British Museum Satires No. 14103, but with trailing draperies, lies back in an arm-chair, arms extended, her knees crossed and shoes kicked off. She wears the accustomed miniature of Bergami, see British Museum Satires No. 13858; her bracelets are inscribed 'C B'. Lieut. Flinn leans on the back of her chair, looking down at her protectingly, the only one awake. At her right hand sleeps Joseph Hume, identified by a paper in his pocket: 'Humes motion upon Queenboro'. Facing him and on the Queen's left sits Lady Anne Hamilton, wearing a feathered (Scots) bonnet. In an arm-chair facing the Queen Alderman Wood (right) leans back, one thin leg on the table. On his right is Dr. Parr; on his left Hownam, in naval uniform, bestrides his chair with his back to the table, his head buried in his hands which are folded on the back of his chair (inscribed 'C R'). Decanters are labelled 'C BR'; a (gold) centrepiece for fruit is supported by three naked nymphs. On the floor are glasses and many more decanters: 'Brandy' (by the Queen); 'Rum', 'Madeira', 'Port' by Wood. The carpet is patterned with hearts and arrows. In the centre of the wall is a large fireplace flanked by fire-screens, each with a half length portrait surmounted by a crescent. On the chimneypiece are three dancing figurines: the Queen apparently as Columbine (see British Museum Satires No. 14120) between a Turk (Mahomet, see British Museum Satires No. 13929) and a Harlequin (Bergami as in British Museum Satires No. 14120). Two bell-pulls terminate in satyrs' heads; similar heads decorate the chairs. The pictures are (left) a half length of Bergami as a courier above two smaller pictures: a tent on a ship, see British Museum Satires No. 13818, and the Queen walking with Wood. On the right a half length of Bergami after his promotion above a picture of Bergami and the Queen walking together, and one of Bergami rowing her in a boat (on Como). A globe enclosing a lamp mounted with rams' heads hangs from the ceiling. On the cloud, behind the lamp, is a vision of loaves and fishes, above, an open book inscribed 'Bless the [Qu]een'. The topmost dream is a coronation, realistically depicted: the King, crowned, and Queen kneel face to face, the Archbishop about to place a crown on her head. Peeresses stand behind the Queen, peers behind the King. On the right and left are two disks of light, which illuminate the scenes below. One is 'R I G H T S' (the letters in a circle) above a view of Buckingham House ('the Queen's House'). The other is 'P R I V I LE G E S': the Queen, wearing a crown, stands on a dais, a lady kisses her hand, other ladies stand on the left and right. Below the title: 'Thus Queen Mab Gallops Night by Night Thro' Lover's brains, & then they dream of Love; Sometimes she gallops oe'r a Courtiers Nose, And then dreams he of smelling out a Place, And sometimes comes she as a tythe pigs tail Tickling the parson as he lies asleep; But, 'tis the baseless fabric of a Vision, that leaves not a rack behind.

- "A parody of British Museum Satires No. 10979 by Gillray. Queen Caroline and her supporters, realistically depicted, sleep round the dinner-table after dessert (at Brandenburgh House), their dreams are supported on clouds which hide the upper part of the wall. The Queen (left), dressed much as in British Museum Satires No. 14103, but with trailing draperies, lies back in an arm-chair, arms extended, her knees crossed and shoes kicked off.

Caricatures lie near a pair of slippers inscribed 'BB'; the uppermost is of Bergami drinking at a table between Wood and the Queen. A book is 'Catalogue of Fancy Men'. The glass on the dressing-table is topped by a crescent; on it hang miniatures of Bergami and Wood (cf. No. 13858). The table is covered with decanters, one labelled 'Brandy' [see British Museum Satires No. 14175], glass, pill-box, and boxes of 'Rouge', 'Brick dust', and 'Court Plaister'. The curtains of the bed are fringed with gold and hang from a pelmet.

- Abstract:
- "A fantastic and complicated design. Queen Caroline leans back in an arm-chair, pen in hand, staring as if at a vision, her black locks flying outwards and upwards. Above her head, as if sprung from it, is an owl with the cross of the Order of St. Caroline (see British Museum Satires No. 13810) in its beak, and on its head a fool's cap with bells. She wears a décolletée dress with voluminous gathered trousers, as in many prints; her right foot is placed regally on a footstool. Her right arm rests on a table and on the paper on which she writes: To the King. She listens to a serpent held up by Dr. Parr, brandyfaced and naked except for his wig, one of several figures pressing round her, partly obscured by shadow. Lieut. Hownam looks over her right shoulder, two other faces are partly hidden, one may be Flinn, the other resembles Burdett. The aquiline profile of Hobhouse is behind Parr. On the right stands a broom, supporting a wig and gown (Brougham); another wig and gown beside it must indicate Denman; both are in back view. On the left and in the foreground stands Wood, as a devil, hairy and naked except for a furred gown, symbol of the alderman. He turns towards her, holding a baton, topped by a little cap of Liberty, and strings attached to two tiny processions: a state-coach (the Queen's) drawn by four horses and a band of armoured men on horseback, with banners, one inscribed Brass [the braziers' procession, see British Museum Satires No. 14119]. They are surrounded by clouds of dust. Over his shoulder look Cobbett, wearing a red cap with tricolour cockade and brandishing a bone (Paine's, see British Museum Satires No. 13525). To left and right of these advisers are evil gangs (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14194): a procession (left) of men with tall staves or pikes topped by caps of Liberty, and with a tricolour banner inscribed No Church no King no Constitution Universal Suffrage & Annual Plunder for ever. They wave their hats and cheer; their leader wears an apron. Above them floats a figure of Justice holding scales and a crown. Behind on the right naked arms raise firebrands, fanatical faces loom from the shadow; one at least has the snaky locks of Discord. The ornate round table at which the Queen writes is piled with boxes; on the largest, inscribed Secrets of the Baron, stands a small lifelike image of Bergami dressed as a courier. Other objects are a wallet from which projects a paper: 50,000 Per Ann [see British Museum Satires No. 14145], a vase of flowers, a decanter labelled (punningly) Tent [see British Museum Satires No. 13818]. On the floor are two figurines, one in back view, the other of Mahomet dancing (see British Museum Satires No. 13929). At the Queen's feet are her much-feathered four-cornered cap, and papers, one headed My dear Ca . . . and signed BB [Bartolomeo Bergami], the other beginning My dear C and signed Mat. [Wood]. By the broom are bulky bundles of papers: Brooming Correspondence and Defence of Moth[er Red Cap, see British Museum Satires No. 13975]. The owl is the base of an irregular inverted cone, formed of cloud-borne objects from the Queen's head. These are: Cobbets Register, The Times (see British Museum Satires No. 13968), The Champion (see British Museum Satires No. 13677), realistically depicted; three conical caps of Liberty with tricolour cockades inscribed respectively Bat, Cat, Mat [for Bergami, the Queen, and Wood; the title of a print, see British Museum Satires No. 14206 [23]]; Letters to Watch Makers [of] Coventry C B, over which hangs a watch and chain. Two large sketch-books, open: [1] Journal of a Tour to Jerusalem [see British Museum Satires No. 13918, &c.] with a view of a large mosque inscribed Temple of Solomon C.B del. [2] [Mem]oranda of the [Vi]lla d Este, facing a view of a large lake-side villa (see British Museum Satires No. 13857); this partly covers a third sketch: [Bucki]ngham House [the Queen's House as in British Museum Satires No. 14175]. Three large bundles of letters: Letters to the Baron [Bergami]; Wooden Headed Addresses Below Par; Answers to Addresses above Par [i.e. composed by Parr, see British Museum Satires No. 13934]. In a picture of a royal coach drawn by six horses and with three footmen behind the tiny passenger seems to be the Queen. Next this along the upper edge of the cone are pieces of plate decorated with a crown: urn, salver, goblet, candlestick, spoons, &c, with a paper: Plate Subscription.."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Wellington sits behind a small cloth-covered table flanked by eight other representations of himself, as depicted in recent caricatures, apparently all by W. Heath. The arrangement is evidently that of Charles Mathews' 'At Homes', see British Museum Satires No. 14714, &c., Wellington, like Mathews, being in propria persona at the table. In this guise he wears the robes (indistinguishable from Coronation robes) and collar of the Garter and the order of the Golden Fleece and a (crown-like) ducal coronet; his head is turned in profile to the right. Immediately below him, the head and hands of another Wellington, who is crouching on the floor, project from the tablecloth; he grasps a royal crown, and wears a cap coloured blue and resembling a tam-o'-shanter, but perhaps intended for a coronet. The other Wellingtons, all standing (left to right): [1] A mute as in British Museum Satires No. 15501, in profile to the right. [2] A Grenadier, full-face and rigidly at attention, much as in British Museum Satires No. 15768, but without the musket. [3] A ratcatcher stooping to the left and touching his hat, the cage in his left hand (cf. British Museum Satires No. 15806). [4] Aged and cloaked, wearing spectacles, with bowed head, he clasps a cross in both hands. [5] The old woman in a soldier's coat of British Museum Satires No. 15721, facing, and apparently in angry altercation with, the seated Wellington. [6] The coachman of British Museum Satires No. 15731, in profile to the left, holding shaft and lash of his whip as if they were the reins of a four-in-hand which he is driving. [7] Wellington in uniform, directed to the left, wearing his plumed cocked hat and holding up with a furtive expression a sword with a damaged blade in a dilapidated scabbard. [8] A mummy-case with an aperture to show Wellington's head with the forefingers compressing his mouth; below the aperture is the word 'Mum'. (Apparently from a satire on Wellington's silence as to his intentions on Catholic Relief until the eve of the opening of Parliament, see British Museum Satires No. 15659.) There is a background of curtains. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 15787."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A man seated behind a rectangular table holds a paper: 'Extraordinary Gazette Convention'; he looks up with an expression of dismay, saying, "Oh! Dam the Dons! if they keep their Word what am I to do with my Oxen". On the table, which is in reversed perspective, are two tea-cups, an overturned tumbler, and papers: 'Mayor['s] Letter'; 'Oracle'; 'The World' [ministerial newspapers, cf. British Museum Satires No. 7369, &c.]. The title is etched on the vertical front of the table-cloth. Two stout men (left) standing together in profile to the right, equally dismayed, answer respectively, "Your Oxen! (fatten them for Market) what are we to do with our Biscuits? and We shant have one broke, if we are not to crack the Spaniards crowns, no, not one, dam it." The first is Alderman William Curtis, the other (who resembles him) is probably his elder brother and partner Timothy; they were (ship's) biscuit-bakers at Wapping, cf. British Museum Satires No. 8075. A thin man with a wooden leg (Brook Watson) stands (right), his hands held out, face upturned, exclaiming, "Convention! Dam the Convention! but a little time back amused with a Dutch Squabble, now tantalized with a Spanish Rupture - Oh! curse it! are we never to have a War?""--British Museum online catalogue

And here's a trifle for you to buy a pair of gloves. He answers with eager deference: You may depend upon it Madam I shall endeavour to give you every satisfaction. I shall be very attentive and if I can't get through the business as you like, you are at liberty to employ an Assistant. Mrs. Coutts is décolletée and bejewelled, wearing a turban trimmed with a paradise-plume. The gold-bordered tablecloth is weighted with balls inscribed £20,000 and £9,000.

- Abstract:
- "Heading to a printed broadside. Four Ministers, summoned by the King, sit at a table bending over a crown broken into two pieces. Sidmouth (right), tilting forward his seat, which is a commode, holds his clyster-pipe; in his pocket is a bottle labelled 'Strong Mixture'. He says: "There seems to have been a flaw in it for some years it only required a slight tap to do all the mischief." Liverpool, next him, says: "Some Foreign Cement or a decoction of steel lozenges [see British Museum Satires No. 13513] properly applied may stick them together for the present, but I'm afraid it won't last long, the parts seem of opposite compositions." Castlereagh says, with a sinister smile: "By the Ghost of my Father I will hold it together by a Tringular [sic] Proceeding. & whip it all round" [see British Museum Satires No. 14135]. Wellington, dressed as a field-marshal, and wearing cavalry boots with huge spurs, sits in a chair decorated with military emblems; he says: "Steel filings and leaded paste is the only Composition to be depended on."

Behind Sidmouth stands George IV (right) in consultation with Eldon; he weeps, holding his handkerchief to his eye, and says, pointing to his Ministers: "Cant Sid my Tool and L--r--pl, Some how contrive to mend it." Eldon, in Chancellor's wig and gown, holds the lower end of the mace against his chin with a puzzled scowl. He answers: "Dash my Wig if I know what to do! my head's in Chancery." Beside him are two 'Old Green Bags done with' [see British Museum Satires Nos. 13735, 13986]. At the King's feet is a paper: 'Straight Jacket'.

- Abstract:
- "Heading to a printed broadside. Four Ministers, summoned by the King, sit at a table bending over a crown broken into two pieces. Sidmouth (right), tilting forward his seat, which is a commode, holds his clyster-pipe; in his pocket is a bottle labelled 'Strong Mixture'. He says: "There seems to have been a flaw in it for some years it only required a slight tap to do all the mischief." Liverpool, next him, says: "Some Foreign Cement or a decoction of steel lozenges [see British Museum Satires No. 13513] properly applied may stick them together for the present, but I'm afraid it won't last long, the parts seem of opposite compositions." Castlereagh says, with a sinister smile: "By the Ghost of my Father I will hold it together by a Tringular [sic] Proceeding. & whip it all round" [see British Museum Satires No. 14135]. Wellington, dressed as a field-marshal, and wearing cavalry boots with huge spurs, sits in a chair decorated with military emblems; he says: "Steel filings and leaded paste is the only Composition to be depended on." At his feet are bayonets and cannon-balls, with (left) a cannon, and a huge ball inscribed 'Bolus'. Behind Sidmouth stands George IV (right) in consultation with Eldon; he weeps, holding his handkerchief to his eye, and says, pointing to his Ministers: "Cant Sid my Tool and L--r--pl, Some how contrive to mend it." Eldon, in Chancellor's wig and gown, holds the lower end of the mace against his chin with a puzzled scowl. He answers: "Dash my Wig if I know what to do! my head's in Chancery." Beside him are two 'Old Green Bags done with' [see British Museum Satires Nos. 13735, 13986]. At the King's feet is a paper: 'Straight Jacket'. By Sidmouth's chair are papers: 'A Blister for the Radicals if they Kick up a Row'; 'A Gagging Bandage', with a pot of 'Poison for the Q . . .' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13868]. Also the words 'Filth', 'Dirt'. On the extreme left, John Bull, a stout and formidable 'cit', is seated on a bale inscribed 'Knowledge is Power' [see British Museum Satires No. 14005]. One hand is on his hip, the other on a bludgeon of 'English Oak'. He says, frowning at the Ministers: "I think the following prescription would be the best Cement, a handful of reformation; a large portion of the abolition of Sinicures [sic], a ladle full of the reduction of Taxes, with a plentiful solution of the Oil of Just Claims, and attention to the wants of an industrious part of the Community, would more safely ensure a permanent union with the separate pieces than all the cement or steel lozengers [sic] in the world."
