- Abstract:
- "A scene in the House of Commons, showing the Ministerial benches, with the Speaker's Chair and the Table partly cut off by the right margin. The Speaker (Manners Sutton) and one of the Clerks are just within the design. Castlereagh is speaking; he stands in profile to the right, hat in hand, with the Pope on his shoulders. The Pope holds crosier and keys, and wears an odd tiara. A demon crouches on his shoulders dressed as an acolyte, but displaying a cloven hoof; a mask with bland features (a device deriving from Gillray, cf. British Museum Satires No. 11384) is tied in front of his black horned head; he holds up a lighted candle, and clutches the Pope's hair. Castlereagh, with a blandly disingenuous smile: "I have the authority of the Head of the Catholic Church, for saying that there is no solidity in the objection taken on the other side: thus I am legislating with the Pope at my back!!!" The benches behind Castlereagh are crowded; the members listening intently; all wear hats, except Peel who sits immediately behind Castlereagh's empty seat, on the corner of which he has put a hat, inscribed 'Peel'. He looks up to say: "I hope that when the noble Lord observed that [he was legislating with the Pope at his back] he had no allusion to me, even if the noble Lord were willing to put the Popedom in Commission, I should not be willing to accept the office of one of the Commissioners." Men look down from the gallery. On the floor is a paper: 'St Steevens March 28 1821'."--British Museum online catalogue

- "On the pavement outside a pawnshop are a man selling pamphlets and a woman with household goods tied up in two handkerchiefs. The man is a ragged shambling scarecrow, tall and thin, with a battered top-hat, shock of hair, and huge whiskers (signs of dandyism). On his tall pole is a placard 'NO POPERY', the latter word bisected by the pole. He squints downwards, saying, 'a full account of the Interest taken by the whole House'. The woman, stout and proletarian, wearing a red cloak and an apron, looks up at the placard, saying, 'No Pop--ery eh? I suppose since Old Grindall's Sons got into the Parliament, they are asham'd of their Trade--well there is plenty of other pop-ery's about--& as to Interest they always took enough of that you ugly Scarecrow.' On the closed shop-door (left) are the three balls sign and Pawnbrokers '[M]oney Lent'. In the window hang watches, &c.

- Abstract:
- "A burlesqued illustration of the quotation from 'Paradise Lost' etched below the design ... In the upper left corner of the design, and in the background, an aged St. Peter holds open a small arched door, putting one of his three massive keys into the lock. The irradiated doorway is 'Popish Supremacy'; through it is seen a table, also irradiated, spread with loaves, fishes (cf. BMSat 10697), and wine. A golden staircase receding in perspective ascends in a curve to the door from the summit of the globe, on which 'Ireland' (the more conspicuous) and 'England' are marked. A procession of petitioners winds up the globe from the lower margin of the design; its leaders have begun to ascend the stairs but have been struck by three mighty blasts of wind. These issue from the mouths of Pitt, Hawkesbury (just below), and Sidmouth (considerably lower) Their profile heads emerge from dark clouds on the extreme left. The blasts have overthrown the leading petitioners: Grenville, in bishop's robes, staggers back with outstretched arms, his crozier and mitre fall, and the Catholic Petition blows from his hands, tattered by the wind, in a stream of 'popish' objects which slants upwards across the design. Immediately behind him, full face, the spectacled Buckingham staggers backward. He is dressed as a monk. In front of the two brothers Moira has fallen on his back on the third stair, kicking wildly, his upright l. leg expressing his characteristic stiff rigidity. He wears a surplice over regimentals and spurred boots, and his sword has broken. He has dropped the halter of the Irish bull on which sits Fox, dressed as a cardinal, the central figure of the design. The bull, snorting flames, rears violently, throwing Fox back into a horizontal position. Round its neck is a tricolour ribbon inscribed 'Order of St Patrick', from which hangs a medal with a profile of 'Buonaparte'; on its head is a bunch of shamrock. Fox is a Papal Legate; he is about to fall, and drops his triple cross to which is attached a tattered tricolour banner, inscribed 'Catholic Emancipa[tion']. His cardinal's hat flies off; from his left hand blows a document with many seals: 'Hierarchical Powers of ye Legate-Cardinal Volpone'. Mrs. Fitzherbert, a Mother Abbess, has fallen headlong from the stairs on to the globe. Her r. hand is on Ireland, resting on an open book: ' . . by the Brighton Abbess System of Education for the benefit of Protestant Children'; her left wrist is on England. Her crozier rests on the globe. Her robes, rent by the fall, display bare posteriors and fat, kicking legs, suggesting the connotation of 'abbess' and bawd, see BMSat 5184, &c. Moira has flung his left arm across her. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- A satire ridiculing the installation of Lord Grenville as the Chancellor of Oxford University on July 3rd, 1810. The installation followed a divisive election in which Lord Eldon opposed Lord Grenville on political and religious grounds. Opponents like Gillray saw Grenville's installation as a triumph for Catholic Emancipation. Here Grenville rises in balloon over a vast applauding crowd in Oxford. Many of the faces in the crowd are identifiable political figures: Buckingham, Stafford, M.A. Taylor, Erskine, Tierney, Holland, Grey, Sidmouth, Cholmondeley, Whitbread, Watkin Williams-Wynn, Fingall, Sheridan, etc

With his top-hat in his right hand, the (gloved) left hand extended, he says: Gentlemen, may I beg to know what it is you all want?--you may depend upon my firm support. One of the mob, raising a clenched fist, answers: Now dont you know what we want better than ourselves? so you do. O the devils in it but you have a bad memory. Well den we want our Rights my dear honey. Other shouts are: Yes and our Wrongs; And the Parliament; And the Union back again. A tattered ruffian with a cocked blunderbuss inscribed Redress says Musha--bad luck to you. Two shout O Connell for ever, and a third says: By the powers of Potteen we'll have O'Connell in Parliament to assist you my darling. Two men shout Erin go Bragh. A man holding a pike shouts Canning for ever well done my Jewel. Four others: Down with the Orangemen; Success to Captain Rock [see British Museum Satires No. 14675]; And the good old days of King James; Och! Spelspeen. A villainous-looking monk holds a large cross inscribed Religion; it is topped by a spike supporting a bonnet rouge. A crosier to which is tied a large money-bag inscribed Catholic Rent is held high. Banners are inscribed: O'Connell for ever; Six Millions of People [red] surmounted by a green pennant on which is an Irish harp; and Toleration. In the foreground a woman with two children gazes up at Canning; a few other women are among the crowd. A man seated on the shoulders of another plays a fiddle: a bottle is brandished and bludgeons, one spiked, are displayed. An enormous crowd with pikes, receding in perspective, is indicated in the background."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Apparently an imitation (better drawn) of British Museum Satires No. 15716. Wellington drives (left to right) four galloping horses, each with a human head. The leaders are Lyndhurst (piebald) and Scarlett (black), both wearing legal wigs; the wheelers Brougham, also in his wig, and Burdett. He flicks his lash over the leaders, saying, 'Kim up Motley--keep together odd Rat [Lyndhurst] ye--or I'll lay it into ye!!' The King's (pleased) face is seen through the coach window; he says: 'I say Arthur, you are the Man Wot can make'm go, if you like!!' The guard is Lady Conyngham: she stands up, blowing her horn. She wears a guard's greatcoat and satchel over her dress and holds a blunderbuss. The coach is the 'Windsor Castle'; 'Wellington & Co.'; 'G R 1829'. It has just passed and overturned a two-wheeled ass-cart, the ass falling on its head, the driver, Eldon, sprawling on the ground. In the cart, which is inscribed 'John Eldon Rubbish Carter' [see British Museum Satires No. 15700, &c], are big bundles of 'Anti-Catholic Petetions' [see British Museum Satires No. 15661, &c.]. Standing behind and below the guard's dickey is Peel as 'cad', or conductor; he thumbs his nose at Eldon, saying, 'There's a Guard for the Sovereign eh!!!' Windsor Castle is on the extreme left; on the extreme right is a signpost pointing (left) to 'Windsor' and (right) 'To London'."--British Museum online catalogue
