"An engraving representing Lord Holland as an old fox, seated at a table and starting back in horror from a book which is presented to him by an angel who cries: -- "This is the black Catalogue of thy Misdeeds". The book is inscribed: -- " Sins which L d H nd has committed against God his K his Country & himself"; it comprises two columns of imperfect, unconnected, and reversed words and scribble, and one legible word "Ayliff". To this word the finger of the angel is directed. For this name of a steward to the Fox family, who was alleged to have been wrongfully hanged by means of Lord Holland, see "Ayliffe's Ghost", British Museum Satires No. 4038. At the front of the table is a book inscribed, besides illegible scribble, with: -- " Accompts to be Settled in the other World"; this is an allusion to the charges of vast peculation which were brought against Lord Holland, the so-called "notorious defaulter of unaccounted millions"; see "Frontispiece to the Middlesex Petition", British Museum Satires No. 4289, and "Renard Stating his Accounts", British Museum Satires No. 4299. An imp sits at the table and acts as Lord Holland's secretary; a second imp crouches behind his chair and niches gold from a large bag."--British Museum catalogue
