- 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

- Abstract:
- George IV, with the body a rooster, stands on the "Green Bag" of evidence and looks back over his shoulder at the Queen; from his beak is a speech bubble reading "Rejected Bill," while an eagle with the words "Public Disapprobation" on its wings snatches the crown off his head. To the right of the king are two hens with human faces, likely representing George IV's mistresses. Queen Caroline, likewise with the body of a hen, stands triumphantly atop a pillar inscribed "The Law and the People"; she wears a crown and stands in a column of light that descends from the heavens. Two axes lean against the pillar, while the sword and scales of Justice rest at its base. Ships are seen sailing on the ocean in the background; the Royal Pavilion at Brighton is recognizable on the shore to the right

- Abstract:
- "The King stands waist-deep in a broad-based Green Bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735), holding up his arms, and exclaiming: "A Rat! A Rat! my Kingdom for a Rat!!!" Huge rats climb up the bag and nibble at it, others run towards it, or emerge from holes. Ministers are imprisoned in the bag with the King, and struggle to get out. Near the base (left) emerge the head and arms of Castlereagh; he says: "Knaw away my fine fellows and extricate me." Above him is Sidmouth, crying: "I wish I could find some hole large enough to creep out at." Eldon's head and hands emerge from three holes; he asks: "Was the Pillory ever made for me? will no Rat assist me? let me out to consider of it." Above him is Liverpool, saying: "We shall certainly be all smother'd in this Infernal Bag." The Devil is between Castlereagh and Eldon, shovel in hand; he says: "I can make a hole for myself to creep out at." Each rat has an inscription: 'Church' and 'Corruption' are on the bag, flanking the King. Other nibblers are 'Pension', 'Place', 'Sinacure' [sic], and 'Dr Slop' [Stoddart, i.e. the 'New Times']; near the last is the 'Courier', and behind (right) the 'Vice C--' [Leach]. John Bull and Mrs. Bull, a farmer and his wife, stand on the left and right; John holds the chain of his savage dog, still attached to its kennel but eager to get at the rats; he says: "Odzooks, I'll let my Dog loose and worry them all." Mrs. Bull points angrily, and shouts: "Destroy the Vermin John--let our Dog loose.""--British Museum online catalogue
