- "Eldon stands with his shirt-sleeves rolled up, carrying a great stack of petitions under each arm. On his head is a porter's knot made of a pair of green bags (emblem of 'Old Bags', see British Museum Satires No. 12883); on this rests a third pile of bulky parchments. Round his right leg is an unfastened garter inscribed '. . . d Expects Every Man will do' [his duty]. He puffs; sweat streams down his forehead; he says: 'Hard work this--got plenty more to bring down yet--.' The petitions are inscribed 'Petition' [five times]; 'against Concession' [twice]; 'Petition against'; '30.000 Inhabitants'; 'Humbly Sheweth'; 'Petition against Concession--' [twice] '3.00 Inhabitants'; '4000 of the . . .'; 'signed by 130.000 Men Women & Children ; 60,000 Respectable Inhabitants'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Brougham, in wig and gown, stands in Old Square, Lincolns Inn, the roof of the Hall, which forms a background, being so inscribed; houses are on the right. He carries on his head, which is in profile to the right, a tray, inscribed London College; this supports a neo-Gothic building with pinnacles and a clock-tower; tiny trees and figures in academic dress round the building show the scale. From its four corners rise labels inscribed in large letters, Etymology, Orthography, Prosody, Syntax. He says Who'I buy? very cheap, very free. From one shoulder hangs a brief-bag inscribed Subscriptions; from the other a ribbon supporting a handsomely bound book: List of Share Holders. Round his waist is a hoop which also encircles the waists of five little puppets: a man in archaic court-dress, holding a feathered hat, next a stout lady holding a fan and a large purse (? the Duke of St. Albans (as Falconer) and Mrs. Coutts, cf. British Museum Satires No. 14875), a fashionably dressed man in top-hat and furred and frogged coat, and Lord Eldon holding the mace and the Purse of the Great Seal. On the ground is a toy horse on wheels ridden by a yokel in a smock."--British Museum online catalogue
