- Abstract
-
"Plate 58 to 'Eccentric Excursions, or. Literary & Pictorial sketches of Countenance, Character and Country, in ..... England & South Wales'. A ranting, unkempt preacher bends in profile to the right over a reading-desk on which lies an open book, to which he points. He stands on tiptoe, shouting "You'll all go to the Devil!!" He wears old-fashioned dress with clerical bands. Cf. British Museum Satires no. 9121. Both sermons are quoted and both are on the dangers of pleasure, in contrasted terms, but 'equally ridiculous in the eyes of true religion and philosophy (pp. 130-2)."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state
