Abstract:
"Grey as schoolmaster stands on a low dais in profile to the right, addressing nine schoolboys (Tories); he holds an open book, 'Reformers First Primer', and leans on his desk, saying, 'Say after Me I Shou'd Reform Thou Shoudst Reform He Shoud Reform We Shou'd Reform You Shou'd Reform They Shou'd Reform'. Behind him is the front portion of an ornate chair, as in the French print. Brougham stands full-face, as usher, holding a big birch-rod (see British Museum Satires No. 15535). Four pupils sit on the front bench behind them is another row of four; Wellington stands behind on a stool (invisible) wearing a fool's cap, like an extinguisher, decorated with bells. He holds a torn primer, and with his fingers to his mouth says 'I Can't Reform'. Peel is the only boy who looks at Grey. The pupils are ill-drawn and badly characterized; two are Lyndhurst and Goulburn, wearing spectacles. All (except Lyndhurst, who is in wig and gown) wear boyish dress, with white neck-frills or collars, some wearing pinafores."--British Museum online catalogue

"William IV stands, very erect and stern, in profile to the right, holding at arm's length a birch-rod inscribed 'Reform'. Behind him, as ushers, on the extreme left, Brougham and Grey stand in consultation. The King says to a body of discomfited schoolboys (right): 'Get you gone and never let me see your faces again till you are Reformed'. The boys are (left to right) Wellington, wearing a peaked cap and an old, over-large, military coat, and carrying a bag, walks hand in hand with Peel who wears an ill-fitting policeman's tunic and holds a slate on which is scrawled the figure of a policeman (see British Museum satires no. 15768, &c). Beside and behind them are Sadler and Wetherell. In front of Peel walks Twiss with a book under his arm; next him is the small Sugden wearing a pinafore. Taller than the others are Hunt wearing a hunting-cap and holding ajar of his blacking (see British Museum satires no. 16575) and Sir R. Wilson wearing a smock and a cap and holding a slate inscribed 'Bob Wilson'. Wellington to Peel: 'Oh Bobby--Bobby what shall we do now?' Wetherell, looking back, says (as late M.P. for Boroughbridge, cf. British Museum Satires No. 16602): 'I am afraid I shall never be admitted into the school again'. Hunt: 'Who would have thought I should have been Hunt-ed out already'. Wilson: 'Its a shocking bad Job' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 16646]."--British Museum online catalogue
