"An elderly Scots bonnet laird or farmer stands repeating the song, which is a complaint of the extravagance and misconduct of his wife. He wears a round Scots bonnet and a tartan plaid over his coat, long stockings, and shoes tied with strings, tattered gloves from which his fingers protrude; a cane is suspended from his left wrist. He holds in his left hand a small tankard with an open lid indicating in London 'a dram' or gin. In the background is a small house, partly visible on the left, outside which stands the wife, drunk and flourishing a similar tankard; a wine-bottle lies at her feet, a man leans from the window. On the right is a farm building wiuth a horse, two cows, and a broken fence. In the foreground right is a large thistle."--British Museum catalogue

Abstract:
"Three Bonapartes leap from one to another grass-topped rock set in the sea. There are six, from Corsica, the smallest to Dover, the broadest. The first makes a 'Hop' from 'Corsica' to 'France'. The second stands arms akimbo, head turned in profile to the right., the 1. foot on 'Ambition', the r. planted on a higher rock: 'Power'. This is 'Step'. The third has made a 'Jump' into the air from 'Calais', and descends on to the sword-point of John Bull, who is firmly planted on 'Dover'. Napoleon wears an enormous cocked hat (which flies off in his final leap) with tricolour cockade and plume, tricolour sash over his military coat, tight breeches, and boots. Below the three stages of his progress: '[1] From indigence in Corsica To Affluence in France. [2] From aspiring Ambition To the summit of Power. [3] From Calais to Dover Where little John Bull does the Corsican over'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The fat and clumsy William Dickinson stands on gouty legs in profile to the right, outside the open door of the House of Commons, where Addington is speaking. He stoops, holding a cane in his gloved hand, and from his closed and protruding lips issues a cloud inscribed : - "let me see - 25 Millions! how are we Ruin'd? - 10 pr Cent for my Money! - income tax taken off! - well! - well! - well! - ". [further words have been erased], behind him is the hooded chair of the door-keeper. Addington, in profile to the right, makes his budget speech; in his hand is a paper: '25 Mill. Loan'. Behind him is a crowd of undistinguished-looking members, as in BMSat 9843. Hawkesbury sits next Addington's empty seat, holding the 'Treaty [of] Peace'; his fingers are to his face as in BMSat 9843, but to his nose in place of his lip. The corner of the table is on the extreme right."--British Museum online catalogue
