"Simple-minded people gaze up at placards inviting subscriptions to unsound companies. A high wall runs from a house partly visible on the extreme left, to the street corner, enclosing a large building placarded Hospital for Incurables Supported by Voluntary Subscribers [i.e. for victims of speculation mania]. On the right are old-fashioned houses, one of which is alined with a church, the scene suggesting one of the older parts of the City of London with seventeenth-century houses. The high wall on the left is covered with large bills at which the gullible are gazing: [1] Doctors Company--Capital One Million divided into Shares at -- Pr Share--the Advantages incalculable No Charge for Emetics opening draughts Injections &c-- [signed] Sam Sexton Clerk, [2] Patent Coffins provided on the shortest notice --No Surgeons Admitted--.

This is a corner-house, its (invisible) side facing Bubble Alley, where the corner-house has a large placard: Peter Puff--Manufacturer of Deal Boards--without Knots from genuine Saw dust &c. At right angles to this is a narrow street receding towards the church. On this are more bills and a projecting lantern: Subscri[bers or ptions] taken in here.

On the left a fat 'cit' and his taller and more fashionable wife walk purposefully; she dangles a reticule, his hand is deep in a pocket, they are clearly deluded subscribers. A yokel and his wife gaze up at the 'Milk Company' advertisement.

"A handsome young military officer, seated in an armchair, drinks wine with two Jewish money-lenders, who sit facing him across a round table. He listens with a reckless smile to one of the Jews; the other peers through spectacles at 'Title Deeds'. The Jews are old, thin, and bearded, but one wears a bag-wig. On the ground by the latter (r.) is a paper: 'Money Lent on good Securities. Annuities Jointers [sic] bought and Sold.' By the spendthrift's chair lies a greyhound. The background is a wall closely covered with pictures in ornate frames, which combine to tell the young man's story. Above his head is a 'Prodigal Son' kneeling among the swine; above this a reclining Venus is partly visible, and below, 'Diane', a horse and foal. Gamesters at a 'Hazard Table' hangs above 'Sir Matthew Mite', a miser with money-bags, weighing coin in sacks. Below this is a bust portrait of 'Sir Peter Plumb' in a tie-wig. A bust portrait of a scraggy woman wearing jewels is 'Lady Crane'. Below this is a picture of a fighting-cock, the frame decorated by a baron's coronet. On the r. are two pictures, a jockey on a race-horse, 'Sancho', with the winning-post in the background, and a large gabled country house: 'View of the Yorkshire Estate'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state

"The interior of Sir Robert Taylor's rotunda in the Bank of England when it was used as a stock exchange with the arc of the pilastered wall and part of the domed ceiling forming a background. The floor is covered with groups of small figures, only three ladies among them, who are drawn realistically with a certain humourous intention. On the left is a Jew who talks to a fashionable young man in top-boots. On the right a man wearing a cocked hat and holding a staff and waving a rattle stands above a crowd of excited bidders. On the wall above his head is the notice: 'No clerk to act as broker.' Behind is a table at which men stand to write. On the wall above it is the inscription: Navy &c. £5 pr. ctr. amnt."--British Museum online catalogue

"A man dressed as a Turk plays a harp, while a woman seated beside him, puts her arm round him, pointing to an open music-book inscribed 'Black Joke [a coarse song]. Fol de rol lol &c.' Behind them is a berth let into the wall of the cabin. She says: "Macher [sic] Amie you play dot charming tune again, and den we go to bed!!" He sings: "Fol de rol lol, . . ." [&c.]. She is Louise Demont, a Swiss femme-de-chambre, a leading witness against the Queen; her evidence, like Majocchi's, was much damaged in cross-examination. She called herself Colombier, from her native place, and had been styled while in England 'Countess Colombier'. She was with the Princess on the Syrian journey, and was cross-examined (1 Sept.) as to her personal knowledge of the sleeping-place of a Jew harper who went on board the polacca at Tunis. 'Parl.
