"The stage, flanked by the stage-boxes, extends across the design, the base of which is the orchestra, where the new Ministry perform. George III has stepped on to the stage from the royal box (l.) and confronts Napoleon, who stands arrogantly upon clouds and points to an enormous scroll held up by Talleyrand. This stretches across the cloud to rest on the stage. The Emperor, in uniform, with spurred jackboots and wearing a large, feathered bicorne, holds a sword in his right. hand and says fiercely: "There's my Term's." The King, who wears uniform with a small cocked hat and buckled shoes, holds his sword against his shoulder. He inspects the scroll through his glass, saying: " - Very amusing Terms indeed! - and might do vastly well with some of the new-made little Gingerbread kings [see BMSat 10518] - but WE are not in the habits of giving up either "Ships, or Commerce, or Colonies", merely because little Boney is in a pet to have them!!!" The scroll is inscribed: 'TERMS OF PEACE - Acknowledge me as Emperor - "mantle your Fleet, - Reduce your Army - Abandon Malta & Gibraltar, - Renounce all Continental Connection - Your Colonies I will take at a Valuation, - Engage to pay to the Great-Nation for 7 Years annually £1.000.000. and Pace in my Hands as Hostages the Princess Charlotte of Wales, with Ten of ye late Administration whom I shall name.' Talleyrand kneels on one knee, displaying a deformed l. leg, on a cornupia which rests on the clouds that support Napoleon. He wears a long gown with a rosary (denoting the ex-Bishop of Autun); a pen is behind his ear. From the cornucopia papers, money-bags, and coin pour down on to the stage. The papers are: 'Address to the Papists'; 'Loan to the - ['Prince' implied, cf. BMSat 6945]; 'To the United Irishmen'; 'To the London Corresponding Society'; 'The Press'; 'The Argus'; 'For the Whig Club'; 'To the Army; 'To the Navy', 'To [the] Volunteers'. Money-bags are labelled: 'Maynooth [word illegible]', 'Horne Tooke', 'Morning Chronicle', '[Cobbett's] Weekly Register', 'Thelwall.' Immediately behind Talleyrand, and also on the Napoleonic clouds crouch Arthur O'Connor, looking down conspiratorially at Fox in the orchestra below. His words extend in a long label towards Fox: "Remember m Friend your Oath, - " Our Politicks are the same!"" He holds a paper: 'at Maidstone Not Guilty - N.B - my Confederate Quigley only, was Hanged there.' Behind Talleyrand and O'Connor three desiccated corpses wearing French Grenadier's uniform hold up three eagles to each of which a banner is attached: 'Army of England', 'Army of Ireland', 'Army of Scotland'. Their caps are decorated with an 'N' surmounted by a crown. Behind them bayonets recede in perspective, their holders hidden by the peace scroll. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A wildly burlesqued rendering of the Middlesex candidates and their supporters. In the foreground (l.) a group from Westminster heads the procession. Sheridan and Hood ride a galloping dray-horse with blinkers and flying chains; Sheridan holds the rein, waving his hat (with a favour inscribed 'Hood') and straddling across a pannier filled with coins and labelled: 'Subscription Malt & Hops from ye Whitbread Brewery'; from his coat-pocket projects a pamphlet: 'Neck or Nothing a New Coalition'. Hood sits behind him in naval uniform, with sword and top-hoots ; he waves his cocked hat triumphantly; its favour is 'Sheridan for Ever' [both favours are blue and buff]. The horse's hind-legs kick the chest of a donkey from which Paull (Burdett's outrider) falls backwards, dropping shears, cucumbers, goose (iron), and a paper: 'Impeachment . . . Marquiss Wellesley' [see BMSat 10561, &c.]. He is dressed as a tailor as in BMSat 10608. A savage dog, the collar inscribed 'P. Moore', barks at him (see BMSat 10619). lhe dray-horse gallops over prostrate members of Burdett's mob, a fat woman, prostrate and ragged, who drops an almost naked infant, and a sheaf of ballads: 'Paul & Plumper[s]' [see BMSat 10608]. Next her a butcher lies on his back, dropping marrow-bone and cleaver; his hat, with wig inside it, is on the ground. Four other butchers, still erect, are about to be ridden down. All their cleavers are inscribed 'Burdett for ever', the favours in their hats are 'Burdett'. On the extreme left. a hideous ragged crone and a small girl bawl from the ballads they hold: 'Burdett is the Man for ye Ladies'. Their hats have 'Burdett' favours. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Grenville (r.) displays a dancing bear with the head of Fox enclosed in a muzzle. He holds a chain attached to the muzzle and a long heavy staff: 'Cudgel for Disobedient Bears'. The bear obediently and clumsily repeats the dancing-step of his master; he holds in both paws his bonnet rouge trimmed with tricolour, and tramples upon two torn and discarded songs: 'Caira, Ca . . .' [see BMSat 9735] and 'A Begging we will go' [an allusion to the subscription raised for Fox in 1793 [This is confirmed by Lord Holland.]: see BMSat 8331, &c., and cf. BMSat 9885]. The bear and Grenville face each other in profile; the latter is neatly dressed, wearing top-boots with round hat and bag-wig. In his pocket is a book: 'Rewards for Obedient Bears'. He says: "dont be afraid of my Bear, Ladies & Gentlemen! \ "I have tamed & muzzled tarn, & reformed his Habits." The rest of the troupe is on the left, behind the bear's back. An ape with the head of Lord Henry Petty, and wearing the gown of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, capers in time, clasping the bear's stump of tail, and holding up, with a delighted grin, a fool's cap trimmed with bells. The music is provided by Sidmouth, a ragged fiddler, with a patch over eye. He stands on the pavement, his head in profile to the right., wearing cocked hat, bag-wig, and Windsor uniform, with tattered breeches, and a foot projecting through a remnant of boot. His r. knee rests on a wooden leg or stump. He plays 'God save the King' [as a protégé of George III]; from his the pocket hangs a paper: 'Pray remember your poor and Old Blind-Fiddler'. On the wall behind him are three bills: (1) 'Pro Bono Publico - Superbly fine Exhibition, at the Bear Garden, Broad-bottom'd Alley. - Orpheus Charming the Brutes, with a Grand Accompaniment by Dr Sangrado [Sidmouth]'. (2) 'in the Press. - Pease Soup or Bruins Delight - a Ballad [cf. BMSat 9848]'. (3) 'Bubble & Squeak, a Duet.' ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The beam of a pair of scales is suspended from a vertical bar terminating in a ring which encircles one of many solid rays from a large sun (l.) surmounted by the Prince of Wales' coronet and feathers. The 'Rising-Sun' (see BMSat 10258) is partly obscured by dark clouds, but its rays extend across the design and illuminate especially Sidmouth and Ellenborough. The former is poised triumphantly on the cross-beam, depressing the r. scale with his foot, while he holds on his shoulders Ellenborough in judge's wig and gown, who manipulates the scale in the same direction. This lower scale contains the 'Broad-Bottomites' ie the Grenvillites, or New Opposition, the other, the 'No-Bottomites', i.e. the Foxites, or Old Opposition. In the latter (l.) the occupants hold the ropes with expressions of anxiety; the inscription suggests that they lack 'bottom' or endurance (a pugilistic phrase). Fox is the most prominent, between Erskine (l.), in Chancellor's wig and gown and with the Purse of the Great Seal, and Grey (r.). Moira, in cocked hat and regimentals, stands stiffly behind. Fox and Grey have bonnets rouges but do not wear them. The other bowl contains Grenville, one hand on his fat nephew Lord Temple; the heavy posteriors for which the family were noted take up much of the bowl. Windham waves his hat triumphantly. Of two other partly obscured occupants one resembles Lord Henry Petty. The scales are suspended above the curve of the globe on which Great Britain and the Continent are indicated. Behind the North Pole (r.) is a setting sun containing a royal crown; its feeble rays are outshone by the heavy beams of the rising sun (or son). Above it, among clouds, flies the ghost of Pitt, weeping."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Hood, in naval uniform, and Sheridan toss Paull high in the air from a Coalition-Blanket. Paull is dressed as a tailor, with ungartered stockings and slippers, a tape-measure round his shoulders; he drops a tailor's goose (iron) and shears. Hood wears naval uniform with top-boots; he tucks a corner of the blanket under his empty coat-sleeve (he lost his arm in an action off Rochefort, 25 Sept. 1805). In Sheridan's pocket is a pamphlet: 'The Devil among ye Tailors'. Below the blanket is a flat tombstone: 'Sacred to the Memory of Poor Charley late Member for the City of Westminster - We ne'er shall meet his like again!!!' This, together with adjacent flag-stones, the ghost of Fox is pushing up; his head and hand emerge, registering profound disapproval; he says: "O Temporal O Mores." Behind Hood is a mob of cheering sailors with banners; two are inscribed: 'Hood and Sheridan - for Ever! - no Skulking to Buonaparte, and Navy and volunteers No Sarver ['] no Taylor." They wear favours inscribed 'Hood' and they shout "Hood & Sherry". Behind Sheridan are cheering volunteers in uniform with a banner: 'Sheridan and Hood! - Volunteers and the Navy.' They shout "Sherry & Hood for Ever"; "No Stitchlouse"; "Sherry" [three times], "Sheridan". Behind (r.) is the left. end of the hustings with placards indicating the polling places for the parishes of 'St James' and 'St George'. Behind the blanket, and in the distance, is a cheering mob; those on the left shout "Hood for Ever" or [once only] "Sherry for ever". Those on the r. (including a chimney-sweep) shout "Paul for Ever, Cucumber for Ever, Paul & Cabbage"; one man holds up a pair of shears."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Fox, wearing a military cocked hat, with civilian dress, threatens Prussia (or Frederick William III) with his sabre, while he puts a foot on the sword that Prussia has dropped. The latter, a grotesque figure with a long pigtail and moustaches, kneels terrified at his feet, clasping his hands in supplication. His Death's Head Hussar cap falls from his thrown-back head; he wears a fur-trimmed cloak and tunic, with a badge of the Prussian Eagle on his sleeve, with half-boots and extravagant spurs. Fox says, with an expression of sour and calculating contempt, " - O you Prussian Marauder, you! - what I've caught you at last? - what, You took me for a double-faced-Talleyrand! did you? - did you think I was like yourself, to Look One way & Row another? - what you thought because I make Loyal Speeches now, that I must be a Turncoat? - O you Frenchified Villain! - I'll teach you to humbug & insult my poor, dear, dear Master? - & to join with such Rascals as Boney, & O'Conner!" Prussia exclaims, terrified, "indeed! indeed! indeed! I could not help it. - " Meanwhile, Napoleon, holding his sabre, and wearing feathered bicorne, with spurred jack-boots, furtively hastens up to Fox from behind, to read the open book which the latter displays to him behind his back: 'State of the Nation'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The triumphal procession (l. to r.) of a hideous negress symbolizing Quassia, a drug obtained from the Quassia tree, which is supposed to have supplanted hops in brewing. She sits astride a drayman's pole (as in BMSat 10580, &c), from which is suspended horizontally a cask inscribed 'True Quassia Free from Taxation'; the pole is supported on the shoulders of two brewers, Whitbread (r.), and Combe (l.). She holds up in one hand a branch of the noxious tree, with a (tricolour) scroll: 'Kill-Devil [rum] for ever', and in the other a frothing tankard inscribed 'Quos-sia'. This is irradiated, the rays being inscribed 'Apoplexy', 'Palsy', 'Consumption', 'Debility', 'Colic', 'Stupor', 'Dropsy', 'Scurvy', 'Dysentery', 'Hæmorrhoids', 'Hydrophobia', 'Idiotism'. A third brewer, the very corpulent George Barclay, follows on the extreme left., waving his hat. He holds up a (tricolour) standard: 'Pro bono Publico - Quassia for Ever, - No Hops! no Malt! Down with all the Private Breweries! - Kill-Devil and Quassia for Ever!' From his apron projects a book: 'Receipts to make a Cauliflour Head'. In front of the procession is a dray-horse, with dangling chains which show that the barrel has been detached from them; its head is cut off by the r. margin. On its back sits the bulky Grenville between Fox and Petty who clings to his waist. All are in court dress, and exultingly wave their cocked hats, which, like the hats of the brewers, are decorated with large tricolour favours inscribed 'Quassia for Ever'. On the horse is a pannier with a (tricolour) label: 'Grains from the Quassia Breweries for the New Piggery' [cf. BMSat 10540]; this, like the riders' pockets, is overflowing with guineas. From Petty's hat fall two bundles of papers: 'Tax upon Private Brewer[ies]' and 'Tax upon Maid-Servants'. Whitbread, who looks round at the spectator, has a favour in his hat larger than the others and having the additional inscription. 'No Private Breweries - Impeachment of Malt & Hops! No Scotch Barley', indicating his charges against Melville (see BMSat 10576, &c). On the groun lie broken hop-poles, with hop-vines still attached to them. Behind are conical stacks of hop-poles 'To be Sold for Fire-Wood'."--British Museum online catalogue.
