"Satire on Samuel Martin's duel with Wilkes. On the left, two Scotsmen support Lord Sandwich who is holding up a copy of Wilkes's Essay on Woman saying, "This will do for him I warrant ye". In front of them the diminutive figure of Samuel Martin fires a shot at a mouse representing Wilkes. In the centre, behind Martin, a group of four men express their horror at the Essay: Kidgell proclaiming, "I'll publish a Narrative about it", Bishop Warburton holding up a copy and condemning it as blasphemy, and Lord Lyttleton crying, "O 'tis so shocking I can't bear it." In the centre, a Scot (Bute?) wearing a bonnet with a feather draws his sword at the mouse. To the right, Britannia, naked to the waist, swoons as a rat representing Bute attacks her heart; she is attended by Newcastle, Temple, Pitt and Cumberland. Engraved inscriptions and speech-balloons, letterpress title and verses in two columns, and one vertical and one horizontal segment of type ornament."--British Museum online catalogue
