- Abstract:
- "Satire on George II's reluctance to accept an inter-party ("Broad-Bottom") government which included Tories suspected of Jacobite sympathies. The king, in the centre. leans across a table crying out, "Hounsfoot me no Stomach him!" as Thomas Pelham, Duke of Newcastle, and his brother Henry prepare to cram the Tory John Hinde Cotton into his mouth; Newcastle remarks, "His Bottom's dam'd Broad". Six other former opposition members hoping for office, including Lords Cobham (saying "I'll Protest no more") and Lyttelton ("You are right Cuz"),and William Pitt ("We drive a fine Trade"), lie on a shelf ready to be treated in the same way as Cotton, one of them saying, "Burn the Yellow List." The kings breeches are lowered and he is evacuating Lord Hobart. Others who have presumably emerged in the same manner leave the scene to left complaining that they have been turned out of office. They include Sir John Rushout saying, "Rusht-out with a Fizzle", and, kneeling in the foreground, Lord Winchelsea who has dropped his spectacles, complaining, "Bes[hi]t without a Job". In the foreground to right, stand two other gentlemen address the oppositiion members, one saying "Consider Your Oaths", and the other, holding a large key, "Remember The Healths"."--British Museum online catalogue
