Title from caption below image., Plate numbered "Pl. 2" in upper left corner., and Not in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum. Division I, political and personal satires.
"The artist introduces us to the laboratory of a so-called alchemist. A roguish Jew and his familiar are busily engaged in the transmutation of metals; the servant, with a pair of long- nozzled bellows, is engaged in kindling the furnace, in which is a crucible; various retorts, alembics, and other paraphernalia of the 'black arts,' are scattered about, as well as a formula for 'changing lead into gold'; although the alchemists at best could only contrive to accomplish the reverse transmutation. Suggestive prints are hung on the walls of this chamber of mystery, such as the portrait of the notorious 'Count Cagliostro, discoverer of the Philosopher's Stone,' and the figure of the spurious 'Bottle Conjurer.' A military officer, in the next apartment, is turning his opportunities to more practical advantage by embracing, with a certain display of ardour, a pretty maiden who is nothing loth, the daughter, it appears, of the philosophically minded investigator."--Grego, J. Rowlandson the caricaturist

"A yokel in a long smock (right) stands, hat in hand, before three elderly J.P.s in old-fashioned dress; he tugs at his rough hair. One of the justices sits in an arm-chair, with folded hands and downcast frown. The other two, leaning across a table on which are writing materials, scowl angrily; one, clenching his fist, says: "How dare you Fellow to say it is unfair to bring you before one hundred Magistrates when you see there are but three of us!" He answers: "Why please your Worship you maun know--when I went to school, they Taught I that a one and two O's stood for a hundred--so do you see your Worship be One and the other two be Cyphers!"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
