- Abstract:
- "Sir Alan Gardner (left) in naval uniform, bends forward to cut off, with a sickle inscribed 'Loyalty', the head of Fox, which is planted in the ground like some monstrous vegetable, the hair terminating in leaves. One of these Gardner holds, saying, "My Life and Services are ever devoted to my King & Country". Fox says: "I was always a Staunch Friend to the Crops and Sans Culottes but this damn'd Crop is quite unexpected". Gardner stands on 'Constitutional Ground'. Behind him stands Britannia, towering above him, and holding a laurel wreath over his head; she says: "Go on, Britain approves and will protect you!" On her spear is the cap of Liberty. More 'venemous' democrats are being drawn towards flames by the Devil (right), a figure like that of BMSat 6283. He puts his trident-like rake in the neck of Horne Tooke, who has a reptilian body with a barbed tail and feline claws, saying, "Long look'd for come at last Welcome thou Staunch Friend and faithful Servant, enter thou onto the Hot-bed prepared for thee." Tooke, his head in profile to the right, says, "Now will no prospering Virtue gall my jaundiced Eye - nor people foster'd by a belov'd Sovereign and defended by the Wisdom of his Counsellors. - To Anarchy & Confusion I will blow my Horne, and wallow in every thing that's damnable". The Devil clutches in the talons of his right foot the head of Thelwall, who says, "This will not Tell well." His left foot tramples the neck of Hardy, who says, "I was Fool Hardy". In the background is a man-of-war, Queen, her flag inscribed 'June Ist'. Below the title: 'Weeds carefully eradicated, & Venemous Reptiles destroy'd \ by Royal Patent \ God save the King.'"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Satire on peace negotiations with France to end the Seven Years War with Lord Bute (Gisbal) seated on a hill holding the muzzled British lion. He takes the royal prerogative in ordering the Duke of Bedford (shown as headless with eagle's wings) to haste to negotiate with the kings of France and Spain. The French king demands "Canada, & Martinique, & Guadalupe, Senegal, & Goree, & Newfoundland, & Pondicherry; & you shall have all Hanover ...", while the Spanish king is prepared to refrain from attacking Portugal in return for Havana and his "Dollars"; two mocking Frenchmen look on. On the left, Britannia weeps and Pitt tries to comfort her while two other Englishmen complain of Bute's rise to power. Verses above warn against a too hasty peace treaty."--British Museum online catalogue
