"Bishop Watson of Llandaff stands in profile to the right, his arms outstretched as if preaching. He stands under an archway formed by a retort, the furnace of which is behind him (left); the neck of the retort swells into a globe above his head, then bends downwards, its bulb resting on a table or pedestal (right). A bishop (Pretyman) sits in back view (left) facing the furnace. The retort contains (above the furnace) papers inscribed 'Treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and France', and also (in the bulb which Watson faces): 'Chemical Deductions' (impolitic prejudicial to the Manufacturers / My Vote against the Treaty.' In the central bulb above his head are small etchings of 'St Paul's' and 'Lincoln' [cathedrals]; between them is etched: 'Some fancy this Promotion odd / As not the handy-work of God / Though e'en the Bishops dissapointed / Must own it made by God's anointed.

"Parodied by, or a parody of, British Museum Satires No. 7277. A design based on the tickets of admission to Westminster Hall, which bore the name and arms of Sir Peter Burrell, Deputy Great Chamberlain; [in right of his wife, Lady Priscilla Bertie, who with her sister was jointly hereditary Great Chamberlain of England] in the centre of the escutcheon were the arms of his wife: three battering-rams placed horizontally. The crest was an embowed arm holding an olive-branch. In place of the rams' heads of the battering-rams are the heads, in profile to the left, of Burke, frowning, of Fox, smiling, and of Francis with a fixed stare. The arm of the crest holds a scourge whose lashes terminate in scorpions and is inscribed 'Lex Parliamenti omnipotens'. Beneath the escutcheon is a motto on a scroll: 'Sub libertate Tyran' [sic] which replaces the original motto: 'Sub Libertate Quietem'. Two supporters have been added: Dexter, a weeping judge, his cap inscribed 'Common Law', holds a scroll whose words are scored through: '[Magna] Charta Judicium Parium aut Lex Terrae'. Sinister, Justice, looking up in terror at the scourge by which she is threatened, and dropping her scales. Beneath the escutcheon is a view in miniature of Westminster Hall showing clearly the Managers' box (left), in which Fox stands, violently declaiming; Burke sits next him frowning. A document inscribed 'First Article' hangs over the side of the box. The head of Hastings, a good profile portrait, is turned towards Fox; on the right, are his three counsel in back view. Behind them are the heads of the peers, wearing hats, and on each side the Commons (left) and the ladies (right) in the peeresses' seats. At the far end of the hall the throne with the Queen's box and the Prince of Wales s box are freely sketched. The foreground is decorated by branches of leaves (? olive) and an open book inscribed 'From Envy Hatred & Malice and all Uncharitableness Good Lord deliver us.'"--British Museum online catalogue
