Charles Fox and Lord North follow the post sign to "St. James 5 Miles." The surface of their saddles is covered with large projecting spikes. Lord North, holding a roll signed, "Taxation" under his arm, has lost his stirrup and holds on to the saddle of his fast trotting horse with an expression of anguish. Fox behind him holds a roll signed, "Coalition." In an attempt to relieve his awkward position, he has dropped the reins and tries to support his weight by leaning on the horse's withers and rump

Title from item., Title continues: The weight of metal is the grand rule in gunnery, and this shot excels all others as it is made of the best lead, pressed close by which means it has none of those cavities, or hollows, that are common to all other shot. The weight, roundness, and evenness, make these shot kill at a greater distance than any other, though a less quantity is required to charge the gun ... Patent shot, at 2d 1/2 the pound, or at £ 1.4s.0d the hundred, bags included. Good common shot, at 15s 9d the hundred, carriage & bags to be paid for., Sheet trimmed to plate mark., and On leaf 34 of an album of trade cards and invitations.

Abstract:
"Anglers, using floats, stand on the neat bricked banks of the Canal. A fat 'cit' fishes patiently; a younger man in riding-dress says: "I often see you here Sir pray do you find much sport." The other answers: "Not much Sir - but I had a fine nibble about an hour ago." Two boys wearing short mess-jackets, long pantaloons, and helmets resembling those of light horse volunteers are together on the right. One says to his friend: "I say Jack Ill go there's no fish here." The other answers: "No fish - I like that - why Captain Cheshire the Cheesemonger of our Corps - caught one about a week ago almost as long as my hand." A dog swims in the water. On the farther bank are six other anglers."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
