"Fox stands in the House of Commons, making a speech; in his right hand he holds out a paper: 'Speech on the 'Rights of the P------'; in his left is an 'Explanation of that Speech'. He faces the table on which are piled large folios: 'Statutes at Large', 'Magna Charta', 'Principles of the Constitution', 'Rights of the People'. He says, "all these I'll devour next". Behind him on the ground are two open books: 'Jus Divinum of Kings' and 'Principles of Toryism &c.' The benches behind him are packed with intent listeners, some dismayed, some admiring. North, a bandage over his eyes, sits on the extreme right, next him is Burke. The end of the gallery (left) is visible; listeners hang over to watch Fox."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Devil (or a satyr) crouches behind a magic lantern whose handle he is turning. Its light is thrown on a draped sheet, speared to the wall by a fork. Facing the lantern, life-size and realistic, but apparently displayed by the lantern, stand (left to right) Fox, Sheridan, and Lansdowne. Each stands as if speaking in Parliament: Fox, with right hand in his breeches pocket, left fist raised for a downward thrust; Sheridan stooping forward as if expounding, right forefinger extended, left fist half raised; Lansdowne smiling blandly. The Devil points at Fox; an angry man at his side (right) threatens Fox with fist and bludgeon."--British Museum online catalogue
