Abstract:: "Brougham, seated in profile to the right in a chair inscribed Place, makes a bonfire on the floor of documents and his Old Stuff gown. This he holds over the flames on a levelled broomstick, the broom being inscribed Treasury Broom. Under one foot is a paper inscribed Opposition. He says: I think I shall cut a dash with my new gown; so here goes for the old one--Silk against Stuff for any money. But this worn out concern stinks most damnably: tis true, a great deal of dirty work has been done in it and it was only stuff at first:--it now emits more smoke than flame; yet I can distinguish a magic picture through this volume of vapour. O, glorious precedence! "Tam venerabile erat praecedere" Juvl. The burning papers are: March of Intellect [see British Museum Satires No. 15178], Liberty [of the] Pres[s], Blacks, Catholic Emancipation, Mulatoes, Reform. The smoke from the fire is inscribed Independence, Patriotism, Public Charities, Vapour, Retrenchment. Behind him (left) his new gown hangs on a stand made of an upright which supports his new wig, and a cross-bar inscribed Treasury. The gown is Patent New Silk. Partly concealed by the smoke is the 'magic picture': Anticipation; the Purse of the Great Seal suspended above mace and sword. Below the picture is a big bag stuffed with Briefs."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Lady Conyngham chases Eldon from the royal precincts; she threatens him with the sceptre and a clenched fist, saying, Je le veut [sic]. She is décolletée, much bejewelled, and displays an elephantine leg and tiny foot. Close behind her stands Knighton, a pen behind his ear, his arm raised; he has just flung a massive gold inkpot decorated with the Royal Arms; ink falls on Eldon's head. He says: take that, & that, & that, le Roy le veut. 'Roy' is scored through. Canning stands behind impassively, hand on hip, holding up a cross, and saying In hoc Signo vinces [Constantine's miraculous vision: cf. British Museum Satires No. 15385]. The building behind is ornate and Gothic, more elaborate than the actual Cottage. The King's head (out of scale with the building) is framed in a small casement window; with an equivocal expression he looks towards Eldon, saying, Necessitas non habet leges. Eldon has dropped the Mace and the Purse of the Great Seal; he says: Had I served my God with half the Zeal I have served my King, he would not have suffered me to be turned out for supporting his Cause."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Canning and Eldon, both in shirt-sleeves and about equally matched, face each other in a small boat: Cabinet. Cock Boat. The very ornate boat resembles a Canadian canoe in general shape; the paddles go through big apertures encircled by the points of a star; that of Canning is Deplomatic Sagacity; Eldon uses the mace, which is inscribed Pelf Patronage Parsimony [see British Museum Satires No. 15139]. At each end of the boat is a figure-head, one of the supporters of the Royal Arms, each with a flag-staff set in its head. Behind Canning (left) is the Unicorn; his flag Catholic Supremacy. The Lion is behind Eldon (right), with the flag of Protestant Ascendancy. Canning: I shall be too much for you you are too slow in your Motions. Eldon : I doubt it! The Purse of the Great Seal hangs over the boat beside Eldon, who wears wig and bands. On the extreme right the sun rises (or sets)--it irradiates the sky behind Eldon."--British Museum online catalogue
