Below are five heads labelled 'Country Clergy', not in strictly clerical garb. One man has a hat on and a turban under it. Another wears a turban, still another has long natural hair.

"A foppish young man wearing a looped hat with cockade, double-breasted waistcoat, ruffled shirt, striped stockings, and low shoes with rosettes, walks (left to right) rapidly but affectedly. His head is turned to the left and he looks downwards; his left hand held up in a finicking manner."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Six brutal-looking men, much caricatured, sit round a table in a cellar, listening with apprehensive intentness to their chairman, who reads a paper: 'State Arrests - O'Conner Binns Evans Quigley'. He sits in an arm-chair, a grotesque ragged creature with sleeves rolled up; in his right hand is a candle taken from a candle-stick on the table. Beside him is a tankard inscribed: 'Tom Treason Hell-Fire Celler Chick Lane'. Against his chair leans an open book: 'Proceedings of the London Corresponding Society Ts Firebrand Secretary - Delegates - Forging Sam Barber Joe Dick Butcher Dissenting Nick Sheepshead Will Cut down Lary'. These names belong to the persons depicted: a barber sits on an upturned tub on the chairman's left, a comb in his ragged hair, a pair of tongs leaning against the tattered hat which lies beside him. Next (left) is a butcher, his steel hanging from his waist. All are grotesque denizens of the underworld. Two prints are on the brick wall, bust portraits of 'Horne Tooke' and 'Tom Payne'. Through an open door (right) is seen a flight of stairs, steeply ascending."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
In an inn, a parson snores while his table companion, an old soldier with a wooden leg, recounts animatedly the battle of Dettingen, the map of which hangs on the wall behind them. Next to him, a dog sleeps by the roaring fireplace above which hangs a portrait, a carbine and a sword. The inn maid approaches the table with a roast on a platter.

"An ugly old man wearing night-cap, dressing-gown, and slippers stands at an open window gazing up through a spy-glass at a comet shaped like a large shuttle-cock. Keys hang from his waist. Behind him (left) sits a pretty young woman, turning her head to look at the comet, but giving her right hand to a young man who kneels beside her, while she presses her foot on his. She wears a long fur boa over her evening dress."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"Fox rises from a close-stool; Sheridan (left) is about to apply a syringe, inscribed 'R------ts [Regent's] Clyster', to his rectum. Burke (right), wearing a Jesuit's biretta (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6026), gropes in the close-stool, holding in his left hand its lid, inscribed 'Not searching from Precedents but Consequences' (a characteristic dictum); he says, "To Ordure - Ordure" (Burke was often called to order for his speeches on the Regency, cf. British Museum Satires No. 7499, &c). Fox says, "Exegi Monumentum cere perennias, or the finishing Stroke" (perhaps an allusion to the revolution Pillar, see British Museum Satires No. 7396). In his hand is a paper inscribed 'Magna Charta Non Posteris sed Posterioribus'; his posterior is inscribed 'Patriotic Bum' and 'Vox Populi'. He stands on a paper inscribed 'Resolutions of P------l------t.' Sheridan is 'Principal Promoter of loose Principles'; under his right foot is an open book: 'Congreve Plays School for Scandal', probably implying plagiarism by Sheridan (cf. Moore, 'Life of Sheridan', p. 180, where resemblances between 'The School for Scandal' and 'The Double Dealer' are noted). The background is a library wall: a book-case containing folio volumes in some disorder is flanked by scowling busts of 'Wat Tyler' and 'Jack Kade'. The books are inscribed: 'The Laws of Pharaoh' (Faro, cf. British Museum Satires No. 5972), 'Political Prints', 'Life of Oliver Cromwell' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6380, &c), 'Cataline' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6784), 'Memoirs of Sam House'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Lord Moira, in regimentals, stands stiffly in profile to the left on the edge of a headland; in his right hand is an unstrung long-bow, much taller than himself. Across the water (left) is a fantastic night-scene in Ireland. Two soldiers by the waterside are seated over a large dish containing an infant which one is carving. The other, his hand on a barrel of 'Whiskey', drains the contents of a skull; human bones lie beside them. A little drummer beats his drum with bones. A soldier siezes a woman and is about to stab her with his bayonet. Behind this group a (?) woman is suspended by one wrist from three gigantic spears forming a tripod. Beside them (right) is a thatched cottage with a figure in distress just discernible through the door and with a lighted candle in the window. At this candle Moira is directing a blast (resembling a searchlight) from his pursed-up lips. On a cliff above the cottage a man supports in his arms a huge oak, in whose branches are many swans, some of which fly away to the right. Three frightened cows gallop off. Through the air, between Moira and the tree, gallops (right to left) a ram on which sits an old witch holding up a broom supporting a bonnet-rouge ; in her right hand she flourishes a bunch of serpents, emblem of discord or sedition. In the sky (right) behind Moira's head is a full moon with a grinning face which illuminates a semicircle of clouds surrounding Moira's head, its reflection making a broad path on the sea. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Lord Kirkcudbright stands at a dressing-table on an immense baron's coronet which serves as a foot-stool, regarding himself in a draped mirror. He wears a court suit and sword with an immense bag to his wig, which sticks out from his humped back. His left arm is akimbo, fingers outspread, right arm bent and holding a small tricorne in a swaggering pose that exaggerates his deformity, which is further accentuated by a shirt frill. His profile is almost concave; the mirror reflects a satisfied full face. On the table are toilet appliances and a large bottle labelled 'Velno', a quack venereal remedy, see BMSat 7592. He says: '"Methinks I'm now, a marv'lous proper Man, - "I'll have my Chambers lin'd with Looking Glass, "And entertain a score or two of Tailors, - "To study Fashions to adorn my body, - '."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The Duchess of Devonshire (right), in morning cap and gown, makes tea for Fox and Sam House who sit side by side on a sofa (left). The duchess leans back in her chair, one hand on the tap of the urn, while she hands a cup to a footman who stands with a tray. Sam (left) has been served first; he sits stirring his tea and gazing adoringly at Fox (right), who playfully pats his bald head. A spaniel stands in front of them, begging. On the wall behind are two freely sketched whole length portraits: behind the duchess is Reynolds's portrait of her husband standing by his horse (as in British Museum Satires No. 6546), the other is over the heads of House and Fox."--British Museum online catalogue.

A hideous, ragged woman looks amorously at her male companion, a burly dustman, as they sift through cinders; two others kneel at their feet, one also using a sieve to sift through the cinders while her companion drinks gin. In the foreground are the bones of a horse; flying overhead a flock of carrion crows.
