"The Mary Elizabeth (Nugent) Marchioness of Buckingham (died 1813) looks from a curtained bed towards her infant which is being shown by an old soldier to her husband, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who enters from the right, wearing a ribbon and sword. The soldier has a wooden leg and a patch over one eye; he says, "Deel my saul but he'll be a brave soldier your honor, he's got a noble Truncheon". Buckingham answers, "Thanks! thanks! my brave Serjeant, you shall be Knighted this day". Behind him, and on the extreme right, stand another old soldier with two wooden legs supported on crutches, and a man in a university gown and bands, carrying a jug inscribed 'Dublin University Pitcher'. The soldier says, "Downright robbery, by St Patrick! we'll be soon famished if our broth is to be stole from us in this manner". He looks towards a man in a Chancellor's wig and gown, seated on the extreme left and holding a bowl, who says to a nurse who stands over him : "Poo! Poo! good woman this is not caudle! this is the old Soldiers porridge!"--British Museum online catalogue

"Probably a copy of an English print. A dandy (cf. No. 13029) stands on the pavement outside an open ground-floor sash-window, ogling two welcoming young women through a lorgnette, regardless of the bailiff who takes his shoulder and proffers a writ. A second dandy, in the background, seeing the bailiff, drops his cane and runs away terror-stricken. The dandy's costume is that of c. 1820. Below the title: 'The Dandy squinting through his glass, Surveys the Ladies as they pass, But still the Fribble lacks the wit To guard against the Bailiffs writ.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"An altered copy of British Museum number 3764 (circa 1792), a mezzotint after Dighton. The dress of the two non-barristers has been modernized, one or two background heads have been omitted. The principal barrister has been altered from a grotesque to a portrait of MacNally, adapted, in reverse, from No. 11409. It is he who holds out his hand for coins to a melancholy countryman, and has a large brief inscribed 'Gaffer Flatscull agt Ralph Clodpole'. This and all other inscriptions are as in No. 3764. The attorney (right), who stands in profile to the left holding a pamphlet: 'Practic'[sic] of petty Fogging', wears a top-hat and has short cropped hair, and is better characterized than in the original and may be a portrait."--British Museum online catalogue
