Abstract:
A view of the interior of a riding-school: A number of men riding round in a circle; those in the foreground ride from right to left, those in the background from left to right. The riding-master stands in the centre, pointing with hand and cane, and grinning at a short fat man in a clerical wig who is running across the room, alarmed at the horses. A short obese man in back-view on the extreme right, who is about to mount his horse has been identified as Captain Grose. Next him is a man with a grotesque impression of alarm riding a plunging horse. Among the riders are two with clerical wigs. One horse is galloping, out of control, the others are quietly ambling round. Two sides of a high rectangular room or hall are visible; in each wall are two high arch-topped windows

"An etching comprising several allegorical and grotesque figures assembled on clouds or on smoke, before the gaping jaws of a monster, which, in the manner of medieval representations of the Mouth of Hell, emits flames. In front of this is a wolf in sheep's clothing, i.e., a fleece shaped like a clergyman's canonicals, and bearing on its head a church. The next figure is that of horned owl with spectacles, a satyr's leg and hoof, and a wooden leg; in one hand, or harpy's claw, this creature holds a balance, in which "honesty", inscribed on a deed(?) is outweighed by a bag of money, on which is marked '£100800'; in the other claw is a scroll, inscribed, "Mongri(or "a") Farca." A fox follows, offering a bag marked, "10,000". The head of a bishop in a mitre appears behind. In the middle of the design the Princess of Wales, as a sphinx-like she-goat, looks at the above-named figures, and is ridden by the Earl of Bute, as a he-goat, with a jack-boat, alluding to John Stuart, Earl of Bute, on one of his legs. A cerberus-like monster, or three centaurs, with zanies' trappings, and holding marrow-bones and cleavers which are beaten together, is followed by an old man who sounds a drum. Another old man advances eagerly from our right; his profile resembles that of the Duke of Newcastle, but probably was not intended to do so; he wears armour, and an enormous wig; he has a flame-like sword in one hand, and extends the other hand, which is like a claw; he has likewise a satyr's leg."--British Museum catalogue

"In a large room lit by candles in sconces, a round game is in progress. The guests are ladies, undergraduates, and elderly parsons, some sit in a circle, while others look over their heads. An elderly parson grovels on his hands and knees, putting his head under the petticoats of a lady who sits (left) with her hands raised in surprise. He acts at the direction of a boy (Prince William of Gloucester) wearing the gown of (?) a fellow commoner over a coat with a star, who stands (right) in profile to the left, stretching his right arm with an autocratic gesture; a spaniel licks his feet. A stout parson seated behind him on the extreme left scowls and clenches his fist at the scene. The lady (the Duchess of Gloucester) sits between a fashionably dressed undergraduate wearing the gown of (?) a fellow commoner, and a stout parson who holds up his hands in astonishment. The undergraduates and some of the parsons appear amused, others frown disapprovingly. On the extreme left is a small round table on which are two candles and playing-cards."--British Museum online catalogue
