- Abstract:
- "A design divided into two portions by a vertical line and a slanting line which diverges to the right from the vertical line forming with it an obtuse angle. On the left of this division are the Speaker and three members of the House of Commons; on the right the Chancellor and three peers. Only a small part of the Speaker and his chair are visible on the extreme left. Fox stands facing him, his right hand extended, his left on his hip, a scroll inscribed 'Consuetudo et Lex Parliamenti' issues from his mouth. Burke stands with his back to Fox, scowling with folded arms; his scroll is inscribed 'Tropes Figures and a long Speech'. Sheridan stands in back view, facing Burke and bending forward, his scroll is 'Speech all Point'. The figures on the right have similar attitudes to those on the left, only the extreme left of the Chancellor and Woolsack being visible. Loughborough, in back view, wearing a judge's wig and gown, says "Lex Parliamenti"; Stormont says "Long Speech". Lord Derby, turning to the right in a mincing attitude, says, "Point de tout"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of another version of the same design

- Abstract:
- "The vast Daniel Lambert (left), not caricatured, sits full face in a bergere which he completely fills. His hat is on a table beside him. He looks slightly to the right., not directly at Fox who stands in profile, regarding him with an interested smile, and holding his hat behind his back. He stands in front of a small upright chair, placed for a visitor. Fox's head and features are larger than those of Lambert, his girth less, but his paunch at least equally projecting. Below the title: 'Danl Lambert, who at the Age of 36 weighed above 50 Stone, 14 Pounds to the Stone - measured 3 Yards 4 Inches round the Body, and 1 Yard 1 Inch round the Leg, 5 feet 11 Inches high."--British Museum online catalogue
