"An ugly man in old-fashioned dress stands full-face, toes turned in, squinting, and looking downwards. An 'Address' is in his right hand, his left hand is in his breeches pocket; a document inscribed 'obervation' [sic] protrudes from his coat-pocket. His scanty audience is behind him, on each side of a fireplace, for the most part asleep. A broken candle on the chimney-piece drops wax into the mouth of a sleeping man (right), to the amusement of his neighbour. Over the chimney-piece is a large clock-face, the hands indicating 10.56; above it is a carved owl and the words 'About your business'. Beneath the design: 'Gemtnen At a General Meeting, you impowered me whenever the situation of public affairs ran down & the main spring of good order broke, then Gemmen as I before said you rmpowerd me to call you together; now is your time, & a moment lost belike may never be Regaind, unless you exert yourselves to unhing [sic] that bold Monster Sedition who Stalks abroad in broad day light Gemmen to destroy our glorious Constitution & throw the balance of power from its place & canker our principles with the rust of democracy, Gemmen its unknown the villany thats abroad there are wheels within wheels that regulate the encreasing tide of traitorous measures in this here big Town therefore in order to check this growing evil I have called you together, that we may know how and about it.'

Title from item., Date and place of publication from item., Description from British Museum website: A broadside satire on the quack Richard Rock shown standing on the foot board of his chaise in Covent Garden; the horse, somewhat cross-eyed, standing quietly. He is finely dressed and holds a cup in one hand. His medicine chest stands open behind him, and his hat hangs inside the hood of the chaise. To the right of the chaise is a hunchbacked (?) man, possibly Rock's assistant, or toady, under whose arm is a package of books lettered "Dr. Rock 52 ways f[ro]m Ratlife" . Among the the crowd gathered around Rock are, on the left, two soldiers, one with a sword and wearing spatterdashes who may be intended as a blind man, has his hand on the shoulder of a bald man who holds his hat in his hand, gazing distractedly at Rock; behind Rock is a man apparently on horseback; on the right, a pregnant gin seller who has a large open basket slung from her waist in which are glasses and wicker bottles, the basket is lettered "S[an]d[y]'s Public spirit" (a reference to the recent Act of Parliament relaxing the law against gin), a another poorly clad woman with a large fish (?) basket resting against her leg, and a man offering a coin to Rock. To the right of the chaise can be seen the pillar with a sun-dial and globe which stood in Covent Garden market. Below, letterpress text satirising Rock with allusions to contemporary political affairs, including a probable reference to George II's frequent visits to Hanover, described as "an itch for Rambling"., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
