- "A scene in the House of Commons. Burke stands on the shoulders of two seated members: his right foot is on the left shoulder of Powys, his left on the right shoulder of Sawbridge. His arms are crossed on his breast, his right arm clutching his left shoulder; from his mouth float three scrolls inscribed, 'Invective against ye Minister', 'Short Observations on India Affairs' [a long scroll], and 'Tropes on the Irish Trade Bill'. Powys looks up at him with an angry expression; he holds in his hand a thick bundle of papers inscribed 'Memda of Important Observations Obvious Objections Perpetual Motions Doubts Facts Surmises Queries &ca &ca'. Sawbridge looks gloomily away from Burke, his left leg stretched along the seat; he holds a paper inscribed 'Mock Motion for Reform in the Representation &c.' Three members seated behind Burke hide their heads or turn aside from his spate of words. Beneath the title is etched: 'Sublimi feriam Sidera Vertice Hor.'"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Fox (right), wearing a hat, stands in profile to the left, discharging a blunderbuss at the Commercial Treaty (left), a long scroll whose lower portion rests on the floor. The muzzle of his weapon is the head in profile of Lord George Cavendish, from whose mouth missiles emerge. On bands round the muzzle are etched the Cavendish motto, 'Cavendo tutus'. From Fox's pocket protrudes a paper inscribed 'Methuen Treaty'. Behind Fox three seated members are indicated but not characterized; Burke leans forward from behind them holding out his hat in agitated approval. After the title is etched, 'a hasty Sketch of Yesterdays Business'."--British Museum online catalogue and "On 5 Feb. Pitt moved for a committee of the whole House (on 12 Feb.) on the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with France. Cavendish moved an amendment to delay the debate. Fox then spoke, attacking the treaty as (inter alia) a sacrifice of the Methuen Treaty with Portugal, and alleging that Pitt was 'opposed by the whole body of the people', and 'wrong in every article of his scheme'.
