"Major-General Lord Cathcart stands stiffly in profile to the left. His features are blunt and ugly. He wears court dress with a military cast, heavily gold laced, and a long pigtail. His right hand rests on the head of a gold-headed cane. A figured carpet and bare wall complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A scene in a College cloister, indicated by a wall and Gothic vaulting. A pretty and buxom girl carrying milk-pails suspended from a yoke is embraced by a young man in cap, gown, and bands who leans towards her through a casement window. She disregards her milk-pails; one, containing two infants, tilts upwards, the other, full of milk, correspondingly descends and a spaniel greedily laps the milk. On the extreme left a lean elderly parson, hideous and grotesque, similarly dressed, watches intently."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A countrywoman (right), wearing a cloak apron, and pattens and holding out a volume of 'Wesleys Hymns', addresses a jockey standing before the door of 'The Ram Inn' (left): "Pray Young Man--- are there any Meetings in this Town?" He answers: "Yes Ma'am two a Year Spring and October." The dog at his feet wears a collar "Snap".

"Two chairmen carry (left to right) a lady in a sedan chair. The roof is raised and through it projects an enormous ostrich feather, rising from an aigrette and curls, which also extend above the roof. To the second chairman's back is strapped the base of a long curving rod which supports an umbrella to protect the feather. Through the window of the chair appears the lady's profile. She holds a half-closed fan before her face. Behind (left) is a plain town house of three stories behind its area-railings; it is next a high curving wall (right). Probably from a design by an amateur."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The head and shoulders of a woman, caricatured, in profile to the right, singing with upturned eyes, holding up a paper in both hands.

Clouds and a ray of light are indicated in the background."--British Museum online catalogue.
