"A satirical emblematic design; at centre, 'The Rock of the True Old English Constitution', on which sits a small figure of John Bull on a chair, holding a tankard and a pipe, saying, 'Well here I am I John Bull - thrown rather in the back ground this is the blessed effect of parties their pockets are full, and mine are empty. - however - Grievings a Folly so let us be be [sic] jolly - My Service to you.' To left stands a large grinning figure, 'Opposition Man', his hands in his pockets, with papers lettered 'Jobbing', 'Corruption', and with sums of money; at right stands a similar figure, 'Ministerial Man', also grinning and with hands in his pockets, one of which is lettered 'The Cash The Cash'. With feet on the shoulders of the latter and above Bull is a spreadeagled, large grinning figure, saying 'No Party Man', whose pocket is inscribed 'a little more money if you please'; on his head is balanced a cushion-like object lettered 'Promises', which supports the banner, 'Reform'; on top of this is a similing head wearing a ruff, fool's cap and ass's ears."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Duke of York lies on the ground, between two lawyers (probably Gibbs (left) and Adam), all prone but supported on their elbows; their heads and those of two other persons dimly seen behind them support a massive pyramid of rectangular blocks of stone on the top of which Mrs. Clarke stands in triumph, pointing to the sky.

Abstract:
"An elderly schoolmaster sits by a writing-table, in profile to the right, addressing an old countrywoman who faces him, making a slight curtsey. Behind her (right) are four little boys, two with bags of books slung from the shoulder. The schoolmaster, who wears night-cap, slippers, and buttoned overcoat or dressing-gown, says: "Good woman you are always making complaints against my Scholars, what have they done to offend you now?" She answers: "Please your Honors Worship they followd me up and down--and said one to another--At her!--beat her! damn her!--pelt her!-- and a great deal more that I do not recollect". The leader of the boys, bowing, cap in hand, says: "Indeed Sir, we were only repeating our Greek Alphabet, in order to get quite perfect--what the Old Woman heard was only Alpha--Beta-- Gamma--Delta--and so on to the conclusion". The boys' expressions indicate a successful conspiracy."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Mrs. Clarke stands between Wardle and Wright, arms akimbo, an impudent and alluring virago. Wardle turns his head from her to speak to General Clavering, who stands on the extreme left. Clavering, in regimentals, his cocked hat poised absurdly on the top of his head, stands glaring angrily at Mrs. Clarke; he says: I intend to commence an Action against her for obtaining Mony under false pretences in the case of French's Levy -- I'll teach her to send Gentlemen to Newgate. Wardle, in civilian dress, answers: Leave her to me Ill touch her up in the Furniture Business. Mrs. Clarke says: I dont care a fig for any of you -- and as to you Mr Furniture Monger [Wardle]--ll be before hand with you. Wright, the upholsterer, stands behind her (right); he looks to the left scowling, and says: Thats a good girl follow him up--ll back you Ill let him know who's Wright and whose Wrong. If I dont enter an action against him I am no Upholsterer. On the extreme right and in profile to the left, stands Serjeant Best, in wig and gown, holding a large Brief, with turn over at the bottom of the first page. He looks slyly towards all four, saying, That's right my good Friends it is All for the Best."--British Museum online catalogue

"George III sits on the throne (right) partly concealed (as in British Museum Satires No. 10709) by a pillar which supports the heavy draperies of a canopy. The Duke of York, wearing shirt, breeches, and boots, kneels before him, with bowed back, a handkerchief held to his face. Beside him and at the King's feet, are his military coat, hat, sword, and a paper: 'Resignation'. He says: "And he arose and went unto his Father, and said Father I have sinned before thee, and I am no longer worthy to be called thy Son". The King covers his face with his hand, saying, "Very Naughty Boy!-Very naughty Boy indeed!! however I forgive you but dont do so any more"."--British Museum online catalogue

John, who stands hat in hand, holds a handkerchief to his eye, to conceal a smile.

"Mrs. Clarke stands in a massive archway, inscribed 'CLARKES PASSAGE', addressing a crowd hurrying towards her. She wears a military coat over a white dress, cocked hat, and sword, and stands above the street level. She says: "Gentlemen it is no use to rush on in this manner -the principal places have been disposed of these three weeks and I assure you there is not even standing room". The crowd consists of military officers, elderly and often disabled, two fat parsons, a few civilians, some foppish, some the reverse, one of whom holds up a money-bag inscribed '500'. They completely fill the wide space before Mrs. Clarke, whose 'Passage' is indicated as her house by the opposite house on the extreme left. This is in 'Croakers Row', and from an attic window a little figure (Croker) peers through a telescope, as in British Museum Satires No. 11238."--British Museum online catalogue
