- Abstract:
- "The Blockhead family, seemingly older by some ten years, admire W. B., now a sturdy young man, in smart tight-waisted lieutenant's uniform with knee-breeches. He looks over his shoulder at his reflection in a cheval-glass, beside which stands another young man dressed as a dandy (cf. No. 13029). A lap-dog shaved in the French manner looks at itself in the glass. Mr. B. sits delightedly in an arm-chair. Mrs. B., stouter and less fashionable, stands by W. B.; the toddling child of No. 14089, now a little girl, stands behind her. A tiny boy holds the sword and eclipses himself with the cocked hat. An elder daughter stands by her father's chair. Three admiring servants stand just inside the door: the fat cook (little altered), a neat maid, and a gawky footman.

- Abstract:
- "A boarding party on the deck of a French ship engaged in a furious mêlée. Mr. B. lunges forward, piercing an officer through the heart with his sword. A burly sailor stretches over his head to strike aside a spear which a Frenchman is about to plunge into the boy. Men are partly hidden by smoke; cannon-balls are in the air, dead or dying men on the ground. Frenchmen use muskets, English sailors axes and swords. Below: '"the pulse's maddening play That thrills the wanderer of the trackless way That for it self can woo the approaching fight And turn what some deem danger to delight No dread of death, if with us die our foes Save that it seems e'en duller than repose," Byron."--British Museum online catalogue
