- Abstract:
- "An engraving representing Lord Holland as an old fox, seated at a table and starting back in horror from a book which is presented to him by an angel who cries: -- "This is the black Catalogue of thy Misdeeds". The book is inscribed: -- " Sins which L d H nd has committed against God his K his Country & himself"; it comprises two columns of imperfect, unconnected, and reversed words and scribble, and one legible word "Ayliff". To this word the finger of the angel is directed. For this name of a steward to the Fox family, who was alleged to have been wrongfully hanged by means of Lord Holland, see "Ayliffe's Ghost", British Museum Satires No. 4038. At the front of the table is a book inscribed, besides illegible scribble, with: -- " Accompts to be Settled in the other World"; this is an allusion to the charges of vast peculation which were brought against Lord Holland, the so-called "notorious defaulter of unaccounted millions"; see "Frontispiece to the Middlesex Petition", British Museum Satires No. 4289, and "Renard Stating his Accounts", British Museum Satires No. 4299. An imp sits at the table and acts as Lord Holland's secretary; a second imp crouches behind his chair and niches gold from a large bag."--British Museum catalogue

- Abstract:
- "At each side of a table are seated figures with the heads and forms of grotesque monsters or animals. The bull-faced Sir Fletcher Norton (the Speaker) presides; in one hand is a scourge, in the other a staff to which are attached bags of money and a coronet. He says: "He that dares be Virtuous shall be punish'd, but Ye my Friends shall be rewarded". Bute and Grafton are hovering above as imps. The table is emerging from flames and is decorated with 'The Coffin of Liberty'. Two demons act as clerks at the head of the table in front of the Speaker."--British Museum online catalogue and "From the 'Oxford Magazine', vi. 219. As usual in the series the explanatory text is in the form of a letter to the Editor, showing that the design represents "the extraordinary appearance the present ministerial wretches will make in the next world ... I have erred on the favourable side; for it is impossible for many of them to assume any shape or character that is not less horrible than their own." The only two who can be identified are North, on the Speaker's right, as a dog wearing a ribbon and star, and Lord Holland as a fox clasping a number of money-bags. For the unpopularity of the House of Commons cf. also British Museum Satires Nos. 4850, 4889, 4893, 4944, 4970."--British Museum online catalogue, Curator's comments
