Two women walking with parasols discuss the novelty of their dresses. A short woman on the leftt says, "I believe Ma'am you'll find this the complete thing." The tall woman on rights responds with a haughty look on her face, "I beg your pardon Ma'am this is the true Bond Street." 4. Two elderly men read a letter from Copenhagen. "They write from Copenhagen!" "What do they say?" 5. A watchman brings a man he had accosted to an elderly judge or parson, "Please your Worship, this terrible looking fellow knock'd me down five times."

"Frontispiece from Wolcot's 'Benevolent Epistle to Sylvanus Urban alias Master John Nichols, Printer, . . . 1790'. Nichols (left) has just risen in anger from his chair and looks to the left, resting his clenched fists on two large volumes placed on a small roughly made table, on which is also an ink-pot with pens. These are 'Q. Eliz: Prog:' and 'Anecdotes of Mr B.' [Bowyer]. In the background is Parnassus, with the Temple of Fame, on which is poised a figure of Fame blowing a trumpet. Against the mountain rests a tall ladder up which a dog has scrambled, but is still far from the summit. A man on stilts advances towards the mountain, an 'Essay on Old Maids' projects from his pocket, showing that he is William Hayley; a paper inscribed 'Eudora' falls from him. On the ground are: a letter 'ToMr.N--c--ll'; a book: 'Gentlemans Magazine', and papers; 'Charade', 'Conundrum Riddle', 'Rebus', 'Mr Badcocks Letters'. Beneath the design is engraved:'With anger foaming and of vengeance full, Why belloweth John Nichols like a bull?'"--British museum online catalogue
