- "Burke sleeps in a half-reclining position, his arms folded, legs extended, spectacles pushed up on his forehead. On a pedestal above his head (right) is a bust inscribed 'Mahomet', a fierce-looking, mustachioed man. A hanging lamp burns before it. On the right is Burke's reverie or dream: A Turk sits cross-legged on a divan holding out his arms eagerly to a young girl who is being brought to him by his mother, an elderly woman, who says, grinning, "I have procured another Lamb for my Lord"; the girl turns away with a gesture of distress. Above the Turk's head is an open book inscribed 'Koran'. Beside Burke in the foreground (right) is propped an open book inscribed: 'And I have observed that the greatest Degree of Respect is paid to Women of Quality in the East and that the strongest Instances of Maternal Affection & filial Duty prevail there. Note Begum - The Viziers Mother frequently procures one of the most beautiful Virgins whom she adorns with Pearls and precious stones and brings to the Vizier whom she calls her Lion and desires him to take her to his Arms, this he most religiously performs and she is afterwards consig[ned] to the Zenana with 200 others whom he never sees a second Time.'"--British Museum online catalogue

- "Parodied by, or a parody of, British Museum Satires No. 7277. A design based on the tickets of admission to Westminster Hall, which bore the name and arms of Sir Peter Burrell, Deputy Great Chamberlain; [in right of his wife, Lady Priscilla Bertie, who with her sister was jointly hereditary Great Chamberlain of England] in the centre of the escutcheon were the arms of his wife: three battering-rams placed horizontally. The crest was an embowed arm holding an olive-branch. In place of the rams' heads of the battering-rams are the heads, in profile to the left, of Burke, frowning, of Fox, smiling, and of Francis with a fixed stare. The arm of the crest holds a scourge whose lashes terminate in scorpions and is inscribed 'Lex Parliamenti omnipotens'. Beneath the escutcheon is a motto on a scroll: 'Sub libertate Tyran' [sic] which replaces the original motto: 'Sub Libertate Quietem'. Two supporters have been added: Dexter, a weeping judge, his cap inscribed 'Common Law', holds a scroll whose words are scored through: '[Magna] Charta Judicium Parium aut Lex Terrae'. Sinister, Justice, looking up in terror at the scourge by which she is threatened, and dropping her scales. Beneath the escutcheon is a view in miniature of Westminster Hall showing clearly the Managers' box (left), in which Fox stands, violently declaiming; Burke sits next him frowning. A document inscribed 'First Article' hangs over the side of the box. The head of Hastings, a good profile portrait, is turned towards Fox; on the right, are his three counsel in back view. Behind them are the heads of the peers, wearing hats, and on each side the Commons (left) and the ladies (right) in the peeresses' seats. At the far end of the hall the throne with the Queen's box and the Prince of Wales s box are freely sketched. The foreground is decorated by branches of leaves (? olive) and an open book inscribed 'From Envy Hatred & Malice and all Uncharitableness Good Lord deliver us.'"--British Museum online catalogue

- "Burke (three quarter length) as a showman bends over his magic lantern in profile to the right. In the upper part of the design is a draped sheet on which are the objects thrown by the lantern. These are (left to right): [1] an oddly shaped elephant chained to a stake inscribed 'A Benares Flea'. [2] Three mountains piled one upon the other, inscribed respectively, 'Ossa', 'Pelion', 'Olympus'; the whole is 'A Begum Wart'. [3] Four large eyes dripping tears float half-submerged in the water they have produced, inscribed, 'Begums Tears'. [4] A whale spouting is 'An Ouzle'. From the right side of the magic lantern the end of a slide (or slider, cf. British Museum Satires No. 6287) emerges; on it is an oriental seated cross-legged and smoking. Next the lantern (right) are the heads and shoulders of two spectators in back view who are applauding; one says "finely imagined"; the other, "poor Ladies they have cried their Eyes out". The 'profil perdu' of Lord Derby appears on the extreme right, saying, "very like an Ouzle [weasel]. "Polonius"" ['Hamlet', III. ii.]."--British Museum online catalogue
