"The Tree of Liberty (cf. BMSat 9214), often (in fact) a pole surmounted by a bonnet-rouge, is here a pike on which is the bleeding head of Fox, the eyes covered by a cap inscribed 'Libertas'. Round the base of the pike and on a grassy mound are heaped the heads of the Foxites. The six heads at the base of the pile are (left to right): Thelwall, a little apart from the others; beside him is a paper: 'Lectures upon the Fall of the Republic by J. Thelwall' (see BMSat 8685); against his head lies the blade of a headsman's axe; Derby (in 'profil perdu'), Lauderdale, Stanhope, M. A. Taylor, and Hanger. The two central heads are Erskine and Sheridan; next the latter is Horne Tooke. Behind, and forming the apex of the pile, are the head of (?) Grey [Incorrectly identified in Wright and Evans as Wilkes. It is possible that the head here identified as Grey is Byng, and that identified as Bedford is Grey.] in profile to the left and the handsome head of (?) Bedford. In the background are clouds, and below (right) the top of a hill."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A drunken debauch in the new Union Club, see BMSat 9698. A long table, the cloth removed, one end cut off by the left margin, stretches almost across the design, slanting back slightly from the left, where it is in the foreground, and where Fox, grossly corpulent, sits in an armchair asleep, his feet on the table, a pipe in one hand. Nearly opposite his feet is the chair of state, on the table; on the empty seat is the Prince's cocked hat with triple plume, his motto 'Ich Di[en]' within the crown. The chair is backed by an elaborate architectural canopy with ornate pilasters on which swags of fruit and flowers are carved in relief: (left) grapes and lemons (materials for punch), and (right) roses and shamrocks. Above the seat are figures of Britannia and Erin, kissing, standing on a curved base inscribed 'The Union'. On the back of the chair are two clasped hands, elaborately irradiated. The chair is surrounded by broken wine-bottles; its former occupant, the Prince, lies on his back under the table, one arm flung over Lord Stanhope, who lies unconscious, clasping a bottle. On the Prince's stomach rest two feet in shoes with spiked, upcurved toes. In the foreground, opposite the Prince, Norfolk lies with his head against the seat of his overturned chair, looking very ill. All who are not incapacitated or fighting are toasting the Union (except Lansdowne and Parr, see below). On the table sits Moira, dressed as in BMSat 9386, a glass of wine held high above his head, his right leg thrust forward, while he stretches back to take the hand of Lord Clermont, [This is clear from the resemblance to BMSat 9575, and is supported by the shamrock which he and the other Irishmen wear. It is confirmed by 'London und Paris', vii. 80, where it is said that he and Moira were once bitter enemies. He is identified by Grego as General Manners, see BMSat 9288.] seated next Sheridan on the farther side of the table. Facing Clermont and in back view, Camelford sits erect, wearing a Jean de Bry coat (see BMSat 9425) and small round hat, with cropped hair. [The identification (that of Grego) is confirmed by BMSat 9716, Wright and Evans give Burdett, E. Hawkins 'Mr Manners'.] Beside him (right) two waiters bring in a full tub of Whiskey Punch, which they spill; one treads on the face of the prostrate Nicholls. Near the end of the table (right) sits Derby, his large head and crumpled features grotesquely caricatured. In the foreground on the extreme right Montagu Mathew (as in BMSat 9560) and Skeffington (as in BMSat 9557) advance dancing arm-in-arm, with tipsy grace, the former with a bottle in each hand; one reversed, the other, held above his head, splashes its contents over his partner's uplifted glass. (The pair, according to 'London und Paris', vii, 1801, p. 76, were known as inseparables in fashionable London resorts, cf. BMSat 9755.) ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
"Sir Cecil Wray (left) is being drummed away from the hustings; Sam House, the central figure, beats a drum, looking at Wray. On the right, ignoring Wray, stands Fox addressing the populace, a cheering crowd behind him; he holds a flag on which is the figure of Britannia seated, holding the staff and cap of Liberty, and the words 'Champion of the People'. He says, "Friends & Fellow Citizens I cannot find words to express my feelings to you upon this Victory". Wray walks beside a procession which marches to Sam House's drum. It is headed by Chelsea pensioners with wooden legs, who scowl at him; one carries a crutch over his shoulder. They have two flags, inscribed respectively 'May all public Deserters feel public Resentment' (Wray had deserted the cause of Fox who nominated him for Westminster in 1782, see British Museum Satires No. 5998), and 'Chealsea Hospital'. They are followed by a detachment of maidservants, with a flag inscribed 'Tax on Maid Servants'; they carry over their shoulders a broom, a brush, a mop, a shovel. A crowd cheers frantically, hats are waved at the procession and at Fox. Behind Fox is part of the portico of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, the scene of his triumph at the hustings, see British Museum Satires No. 6590, &c."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A pack of hounds is in full cry after an animal with the head of Hastings which runs through the gate of St. James's Palace (right). He wears a turban; a collar round his neck is inscribed 'Hyana', and a large bag inscribed 'Diamonds & Rupees' is tied to his tail. The hounds are being whipped back by Thurlow (left) who rides an ass with the head of the King, shouting "Back! Back!" He wears a hunting-cap and boots with monstrous spurs, with his Chancellor's wig and gown. He is riding over the hounds who have the heads of the leading Managers of Hastings's impeachment. North (not a Manager) lies prostrate and apparently dead under the ass's heels. Burke is being crushed under the animal's off foreleg, while the other kicks Fox. The foremost of the pack is Sheridan, his collar inscribed 'Drury Lane'. Behind him are Fox, a dog whose collar is inscribed 'Francis' (not a Manager, see BMSat 7268), and Michael Angelo Taylor, his collar inscribed 'Law-Chick', see BMSat 6777. The King's head is in profile to the right, his saddle is ornamented with a crown and a jewel is suspended from his neck, probably the famous diamond, see BMSat 6966, &c. Two sentries stand at the gate of the Palace with pens in their caps, probably indicating that they are the two Secretaries of State, [In Wright and Evans they are identified as Sydney and Pitt. Sidney's vis-à-vis, scarcely recognizable, resembles Pitt in BMSat 7312] Sydney (left) and Carmarthen (right), to whom there is some resemblance, and who are peers, cf.

"A winding river flows (left to right) towards a hill in the background surmounted by a temple of Fame. In the foreground (left) is a 'Dunghill of Republican Horse Turds'; in the stream float turds from the dunghill, while farther up are golden apples, crowned and inscribed. The foremost is 'English-Pippin', close behind are 'Imperial-Pippin' and 'Russian-Pippin'; they are followed by a (turbaned) 'Turkish-Pippin' and a small 'Neapolitan' [Pippin]. From a mass of floating dung emerges the profile head of Bonaparte, wearing a feathered cocked hat inscribed 'First Horse Turd'; this is the central and dominating object in the river; from his mouth issues a large label: 'A ha! par ma foi - how We Apples Swim!' Lumps of dung close behind him are inscribed 'Second Horse Turd' [Cambacérès], 'Third Horse Turd' [Lebrun], and 'Seyes' [sic]. They are followed by 'Massena', 'Jourdan', 'Talleyrand'. Bonaparte swims between 'Spanish-Pippin' and 'Prussian-Pippin', both in proximity to dung. Behind him float 'Papal P[ippin]', a triple crown, and 'Sardinian [Pippin]', both half submerged. Under water are submerged (or dead) turds: 'Robespierre', 'Marat', 'Condorcet', 'Roland'. A spreading column of thick smoke arises from the dunghill, which is composed of inscribed fragments, from which in the left foreground tiny heads emerge, the dominant one being Fox, who says: "Caira! Caira! - chacun à son tour! We shall all Swim in our turns"; next him is 'Envy'. Tierney, the second head, says: "Yes! Yes! - none of Us was born to be Drowned". The others are Sheridan, Nicholls, Erskine, and (slightly smaller) Burdett, Derby, Taylor. Those indicated by names only are: 'Voltaire', 'Rosseau' [sic], 'd'Alembert', 'Godwin', 'Price', 'Priestley', 'Holcroft', '(?) Darwin', close to (scarcely legible) 'Mo[rning] Po[st]', 'Morn. Chronicle', 'Courier [see BMSat 9194]. Larger turds are: 'Atheism', 'Falshood', 'Regicide', 'Egalité', 'Disappointment', 'Beggary', 'Poverty', 'Plunder', 'Paines Rights of Man' [see BMSat 7867, &c], 'Republican Faith', 'Theophilanthropy' [see BMSat 9240], 'Deceit [twice]', 'Lies', 'Licentiousness', 'Hypocrisy'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Grenville (r.) displays a dancing bear with the head of Fox enclosed in a muzzle. He holds a chain attached to the muzzle and a long heavy staff: 'Cudgel for Disobedient Bears'. The bear obediently and clumsily repeats the dancing-step of his master; he holds in both paws his bonnet rouge trimmed with tricolour, and tramples upon two torn and discarded songs: 'Caira, Ca . . .' [see BMSat 9735] and 'A Begging we will go' [an allusion to the subscription raised for Fox in 1793 [This is confirmed by Lord Holland.]: see BMSat 8331, &c., and cf. BMSat 9885]. The bear and Grenville face each other in profile; the latter is neatly dressed, wearing top-boots with round hat and bag-wig. In his pocket is a book: 'Rewards for Obedient Bears'. He says: "dont be afraid of my Bear, Ladies & Gentlemen! \ "I have tamed & muzzled tarn, & reformed his Habits." The rest of the troupe is on the left, behind the bear's back. An ape with the head of Lord Henry Petty, and wearing the gown of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, capers in time, clasping the bear's stump of tail, and holding up, with a delighted grin, a fool's cap trimmed with bells. The music is provided by Sidmouth, a ragged fiddler, with a patch over eye. He stands on the pavement, his head in profile to the right., wearing cocked hat, bag-wig, and Windsor uniform, with tattered breeches, and a foot projecting through a remnant of boot. His r. knee rests on a wooden leg or stump. He plays 'God save the King' [as a protégé of George III]; from his the pocket hangs a paper: 'Pray remember your poor and Old Blind-Fiddler'. On the wall behind him are three bills: (1) 'Pro Bono Publico - Superbly fine Exhibition, at the Bear Garden, Broad-bottom'd Alley. - Orpheus Charming the Brutes, with a Grand Accompaniment by Dr Sangrado [Sidmouth]'. (2) 'in the Press. - Pease Soup or Bruins Delight - a Ballad [cf. BMSat 9848]'. (3) 'Bubble & Squeak, a Duet.' ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Fox (three quarter length), very obese, stands (left) blowing soap-bubbles from a long pipe, with an expression of calculating complacency; these contain heads of Lord John Townshend and other Foxites. He stands beside a tub of soap-suds (right), inscribed 'Coalition Washing Tub', in which are two heads with closed eyes, one (left) is North, the other is (?) Burke. It stands on a block of masonry inscribed 'Portland Stone' (Portland being the nominal leader of the Coalition). Beside the tub are piles of guineas, some arranged on a paper inscribed 'Devonshire Sope'. The head contained in the bubble which is leaving the bowl of the pipe is exploding; the smoke and flames are inscribed 'Towns End' showing that he is Lord John Townshend. The largest bubble contains a head of the Prince of Wales and is inscribed 'Ich dien'. Between this and Townshend's bubble are six others, containing the heads of Burke, the Duke of Portland, the Duke of Norfolk, Sheridan, Lord Stormont, and Hanger. In the upper left corner is another bubble containing the head of (?) Windham, while a bubble, the lower part only of which is visible, contains a mouth and cheek resembling those of Lord Carlisle in caricature."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The beam of a pair of scales is suspended from a vertical bar terminating in a ring which encircles one of many solid rays from a large sun (l.) surmounted by the Prince of Wales' coronet and feathers. The 'Rising-Sun' (see BMSat 10258) is partly obscured by dark clouds, but its rays extend across the design and illuminate especially Sidmouth and Ellenborough. The former is poised triumphantly on the cross-beam, depressing the r. scale with his foot, while he holds on his shoulders Ellenborough in judge's wig and gown, who manipulates the scale in the same direction. This lower scale contains the 'Broad-Bottomites' ie the Grenvillites, or New Opposition, the other, the 'No-Bottomites', i.e. the Foxites, or Old Opposition. In the latter (l.) the occupants hold the ropes with expressions of anxiety; the inscription suggests that they lack 'bottom' or endurance (a pugilistic phrase). Fox is the most prominent, between Erskine (l.), in Chancellor's wig and gown and with the Purse of the Great Seal, and Grey (r.). Moira, in cocked hat and regimentals, stands stiffly behind. Fox and Grey have bonnets rouges but do not wear them. The other bowl contains Grenville, one hand on his fat nephew Lord Temple; the heavy posteriors for which the family were noted take up much of the bowl. Windham waves his hat triumphantly. Of two other partly obscured occupants one resembles Lord Henry Petty. The scales are suspended above the curve of the globe on which Great Britain and the Continent are indicated. Behind the North Pole (r.) is a setting sun containing a royal crown; its feeble rays are outshone by the heavy beams of the rising sun (or son). Above it, among clouds, flies the ghost of Pitt, weeping."--British Museum online catalogue.

"George III stands passively in profile to the right while members of the new ministry fix shackles to his wrists and ankles. He is saying, "Oh! my misguided People". Rockingham is walking off (right) holding the crown in his right hand, saying "Dispose of these Jewels for the Publick Use". He wears trunk hose and cross-hilted sword, a long robe trails on the ground behind him. The Duke of Richmond, in profile to the left, is fixing a shackle to the king's left wrist; he says, "I Command the Ordnance". (On 30 Mar. he was appointed Master General of the Ordnance.) In front of him a thin man kneeling on one knee, in profile to the left, is adjusting a fetter on the king's left ankle; he is probably Lord John Cavendish. On the king's left Fox kneels attaching a fetter to his right leg; he has the head of a fox and is saying, "I Command the Mob". Behind him, holding the chain which the king holds in his right hand, is Admiral Keppel in naval uniform, saying, "I Command the Fleet". He had been made a Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty on 30 Mar., the Admiralty being put in commission. On his right stands General Conway in military uniform, clasping his hands, and looking to his right; he says "Which way shall I turn? How can I decide?" He had been made Commander-in-Chief on 30 Mar.; in spite of his famous resolution of 22 Feb. (see BMSat 5963) he was not a whole-hearted supporter of the new ministry. On the extreme left stands Burke, looking to the right but taking no part in the proceedings. He holds a paper inscribed "Pay Master", and is saying "The best of Ministers The best of K..." A reference to Burke's eulogy, on 15 April, of the king's message recommending the "effectual Plan of OEconomy", his words being, "It was the best of messages to the best of people from the best of kings".
