"The King runs towards the Pavilion, carrying a large bow and spear, with a shield on which are a bottle and glass. At his feet kneels a demon sharpening an arrow on a leech (see No. 13740). The Pavilion is a grinning Chinese figure, with a (smaller) dome and a large minaret; it is partly hidden by smoke from which a second demon looks out.

"A young man, [Friedrich Christian Accum (1769-1838) misidentified by Dorothy George as] Humphrey Davy (1778-1829), stands on a platform in a crowded lecture-room, circular in shape, an arc of the wall being shown. He pours liquid from a kettle into a beaker. His table is covered with similar beakers, a tiny retort, &c. Behind him is a door inscribed 'Surrey Institution'. The absorbed audience consists chiefly of pretty women in evening dress and ugly and elderly men. Men are seated on the platform; one is standing. In the foreground (left) a much caricatured elderly man in old-fashioned dress and bag-wig leans forward on his stick, registering anguished jealousy. In his pocket is a book: 'Accum's Lectures' .... Spectators look down from a balcony immediately above the platform."--British Museum online catalogue

"Rectangular bundles of documents, supported on human legs, march towards a writing-table (left) where two men await them eagerly, one being evidently Lord Stewart.
