"Fox flees in terror through the doorway of the House of Commons, taking an enormous stride. Beside him runs a thin demoniac greyhound, Grey, wearing a collar: 'Opposition Grey-Hound'. A small animal runs behind with the head of M. A. Taylor. Through the doorway are seen half the Speaker's chair and the Opposition benches, while the hands of Pitt, who is speaking, project from the left, holding two scrolls: 'O'Conner's list of Secret Traitors' and 'Destruction of Buonaparte - Capture of the French Navy - End of the Irish Rebellion - Voluntary Associations - Europe Arming - Britannia Ruling the Waves'. His words float towards the dismayed Opposition: 'Read o'er This! - And after this! - And then to Breakfast, with what appetite you may!!!' The Opposition are furtively eating papers: Sheridan eats 'Loyalty of the Irish Nation'; Tierney, 'Homage to the French Con[? stitution]'. Between them is squeezed the hat of C. Fox, indicating that between them they have left little room for their leader. Erskine, the egotist [see BMSat 9246, &c], eats 'my own Loyalty'; Shuckburgh, 'French lib[erty]'; Nicholls, 'a Letter to W Pitt'; Burdett, 'Egalité'; an unidentified member eats 'Peace or Ruin'. All wear hats except Burdett and Erskine. The House is lit by candles burnt to the socket, suggesting an all-night sitting. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"A terrified French civilian is about to be impaled on a spike planted in the desert. He is carried by two Turks, in a sitting posture, one supporting his legs, and clasps in the left hand a paper: 'Le Prophete demasqué', while in the right is raised a large volume: 'L'Imposture de Mahomet'. A Mohammedan priest follows the group, declaiming from his open 'ALKORAN'. A stout Turk with a long spear stands (left) facing the victim and directing operations. In the background is a Frenchman holding on his head a large turban, his discarded hat lying on the ground. He looks over his shoulder with a grin at the impending execution."--British Museum online catalogue
