- Abstract
-
"A flying demon holds the level beam of a pair of scales, on which stand Wilkes (left) and Parson Horne (right). Each stands in the attitude of a fencer, thrusting at the other with an outstretched goose-quill; neither has the advantage. Wilkes wears a bag-wig, Horne is in parson's gown and bands. The demon says: "nicely pois'd indeed". The print illustrates "The Balance of Honour and Patriotism; or a Dialogue between Mr. H------and Mr. ------, in which the Demon of Discord very properly interferes". The dialogue ends with Horne's expressing a wish "that you, good Mr. Devil, had been conducting me to H------ll, before Malagrida [Shelburne] had persuaded me to engage in this d------n'd controversy"."--British Museum online catalogue
