He answers: "Yes Ma'am two a Year Spring and October." The dog at his feet wears a collar "Snap". Three persons standing on the doorstep watch with amused interest: a typical betting man in top-boots arm-in-arm with a young woman, and a stout rubicund man. Behind is the race-course; three horses (right) are almost neck and neck. Spectators on horse-back watch from 'Devils Ditch', and on the horizon (right) is the winning-post with a flag."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- An angry, bare-breasted young woman in a night dress and cap enters the door of a sitting room from a bedroom (seen through the open door on the right). She scowls at the white-haired man relaxed in an armchair in front of a fire; he smokes a pipe and holds a goblet of wine in his left hand as he leans back in the chair, his feet resting on the grate of the roaring fire; at his elbow a table with a lit candle, carafe, jug, spoon, and book "Miseries of Human Life". One dog sleeps near a gun propped up against the mantel piece; a hunting cap hangs on back wall. Another dog looks at the woman from under the table at the man's side and barks. A large cat that has come in with the woman hisses back at him. A book on the mantel is titled "Rule a wife and have a wife"; the painting above the mantel "Mr. Pantons grey mare ranter out of doll tearsheet." In front of the and to the right are a bootjack and discarded boots pants; a clock hangs on the wall above a tiered table.

- Abstract:
- "Frontispiece to 'All the Talents', 18th edition, satirical verses by 'Polypus', i.e. E. S. Barrett, attacking the late Ministry. The print (Hogarthian in manner) has little relation to the verses, and is probably adapted from an earlier satire, perhaps on Bute. A creature with the body of a man and the face of an ape, with a tail, tramples on burning papers. It wears spectacles, a large wig, bands, old-fashioned laced coat (with a star), and tattered breeches. On one foot is a shoe; the left. leg is in a large jack-boot (? originally an emblem of Bute). In the right hand is a crozier with which he pulls down two books from a shelf: 'Magna Charter' and 'Coronation Oath'. Behind him a musket inscribed 'Army', the barrel pointing upwards, is firing a blast at the falling books. His left hand rests on a book or ledger, open on a book-stand, in which he writes with the feathered end of his pen. The page is headed 'Finance'; from the book hangs a paper: 'Country Dances'. The burning papers are inscribed 'Negotiation' [bis], 'Sinecures'. He is smoking a pipe from which thick clouds of smoke rise and obscure a profile bust portrait of Pitt. Below the design: 'Monstrum horrendum, informe, ingens, cui lumen ademptum.'."--British Museum online catalogue. and British Museum curator's comments: The monster symbolizes the blind and reckless politician. The verses, though published after the fall of the Ministry ... were written before it, and do not allude to the Catholic question, here indicated by the treatment of the 'Coronation Oath'. Nor are the peace negotiations, ... directly referred to. They contain a tribute to Pitt, and gibes at Petty, ... here illustrated. They went through nineteen editions in 1807 ....

- Abstract:
- "Two designs on one plate. Above, two rows of burlesqued yokels (with two comely women, and an ugly old one), seated behind the orchestra and backed by a rough brick wall, register intense amusement. A fiddler stands up to snuff a single wall-candle. Below, three members of the orchestra play, grotesquely weeping; behind them are the pittites, also burlesqued, except for a good-looking young couple. A woman tries to revive a fat and fainting man with a smelling-bottle. Above their heads is a gallery, with two footmen in livery, two ladies, and an elderly parson. All shed tears, or otherwise express their grief."--British Museum online catalogue.
