- Abstract
-
Chatham sits in an arm-chair attended by doctors; he wears a night-cap, and over his uniform and boots a patterned dressing-gown and holds a copy of 'The Times' in his right hand. He looks up at a hideous doctor (left), who feels his pulse, holding a watch. The doctor says: "Your Pulse is going with uncommon Expedition indeed my Lord, you have too much Blood in you. you must lose a few Ounces". Chatham: "Don't mention that word [Expedition] again Doctor, it brings an [sic] a Flushing in my face, and sets me in a palpitation". On his other side stands Sir William Curtis proffering a steaming bowl of soup on a salver; in his pocket is a 'Plan for a Jollyfication on the 25 Octr 1809'. He says: "You'll find my Soup, is the best thing in the world for palpitations, it always cures me speedily and soon. I hope you'll be well enough to come to our Jollyfication on the 25th. On the extreme right stands a stout John Bull, a 'cit' holding his hat; he looks across at the doctor on the left, saying contemptuously, "Pho Pho! Doctor your wrong! its only a Flushing in the face. for D-----e if I think he has a bit of Blood in him". Behind Chatham is a 'Camp Convenience' or travelling commode under which lie his cocked hat and sword; on it is a book of 'Military Tactics'. On the wall is a 'Map of Walch[eren]', showing 'Flush[ing]' and one of 'Quiberon Bay', both partly obscured by steam from Curtis's soup. On the ground are two books: 'Jack the Giant Killer' and 'The Seven Sleepers'. The doctor's cocked hat, gloves, gold-headed cane, and a large volume, 'Pharma-copiæ' are on a chair (left), behind which are a small writing-table and curtained bed. After the title: 'In one thing only, thats the Fee, Doctors you'll find will er'e agree'.
