"Pl. to the 'Anti-Jacobin Review' (issued separately). Grattan (right) has risen from his arm-chair to greet with outstretched hands two young men whom a servant (left), with a knowing gesture, has just shown into his library. One introduces the other: "Mr Grattan give me leave to introduce Mr Jn° H--gh--'s"; Grattan says: "I suppose Sir you are an United Irishman"; Hughes answers: "I am". A bust of 'Le Paus' (see BMSat 9240) on a high pedestal on the extreme right looks down cynically at Grattan. On the wall behind him are portraits of 'Lord Fitzgerald' (see BMSat 9227), 'Tom Paine' (a mere scrawl), and 'Robespier[re]', with a placard: 'New Irish Government Liberty and Equality to be introduced by our worthy & disinterested Allies the French'. The other two walls are lined with bulky volumes: 'Towers Tracts' (see BMSat 7890); 'Republic'; 'Wakefield' (see BMSat 9371); 'Parr' (see BMSat 9430); 'The Press' (see BMSat 9186, &c); 'The Courier' (see BMSat 9194, &c); 'Christie'; 'Molineux'; 'Pain's Works' (see BMSat 8137, &c); 'Critical Review' (see BMSat 9240); 'Mc Niven'; 'Priestly Works' (see BMSat 7887); 'O'Connor' (see BMSat 9245, &c.) On the writing-table are documents: 'Constitution of United Irishmen' and 'Copy of the [illegible word] of ye Test of Oath'. On the floor at Grattan's feet is a sheaf of pikes with papers: 'Contract for Pikes'; 'Plan for the destruction of both Houses of Parlaiment Bank & . . by Tone'; 'Dispatches from the French Conventi[on]'; 'List of united Irishmen in London Hamburg . . .'; a portfolio: 'Charts of the Irish Coast with remarks where foreign troops may be landed with great safety'; two large books: 'Art of Assassination' and 'Rise and Progress of Jacobinism'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"William Smyth, slim, and fashionably dressed under his gown, delivers a lecture. He stands in profile to the left, his hands resting on the cloth-covered table on which his reading-desk stands, its slope covered with the sheets of the lecture. Heavy clouds surround him, and conceal his feet. His audience face him on seats rising steeply; they are either asleep or yawning. In the front row and on the extreme left is a young man wearing a gold-embroidered nobleman's gown, and holding a cap with a gold tassel; he sleeps, holding his watch. Behind the undergraduates are elderly fellows wearing wigs; other fat, bewigged Fellows are in the background, on the lecturer's right. On the table lies an open book: 'Lectures on Modern History Dedicated to Tom Sheridan'; beside this is a MS. inscribed 'Lectures for information and Instruction of the Cantab-- Patronised by the Marq. of Lansdowne'. The scene is illuminated by rays striking downwards from an inscription: '- et versate diu, quid ferré recusent, Quid valeant humeri!' [Horace, 'Art of Poetry', ll. 39-40. Ponder long what your shoulders refuse, and what they are able to bear.] ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An elderly man displays scientific experiments. He stoops forward, in profile to the left, holding a rod horizontally between his fingers, in the left hand is a glass. A small still, phials, &c, and an elaborate appliance (right) are on the long table behind which he stands. On the wall are two medallion profile-portraits, one (left) being that of Priestley.

"Four men, their feet cut off by the lower margin, play whist at a rectangular table; each has one card in his hand and is about to play the last trick, the tricks piled on the table show that each side has six tricks. Sir Joseph Mawbey (left) looks at his partner (right), a very stout man wearing a legal wig, both hold court cards (diamonds). The man seated on the farther side of the table looks sideways at Mawbey, saying, "O---h! you've brought your Pigs to a fine Market!" His partner, in back view, is a very thin man whose hair extends grotesquely on each side of his head; he holds the five of diamonds. From Mawbey's pocket projects a document, 'Surrey Commission', and a book, 'Burn Justice' (Burn's well-known 'Justice of the Peace and Parish Officer', used by all acting J.P.s, not an exhortation to incendiarism as Evans supposes). Above his head is a picture of a pig feeding from a trough."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A half length portrait in an oval of the Duke of Cumberland in profile to the left, scarcely caricatured, but with a half-closed eye which gives an expression of arrogance. He wears a hat whose curving brim shades his eyes and rests on his high coat-collar. His chin is swathed in a stock, and an eye-glass hangs from a ribbon."--British Museum online catalogue.
