Abstract:: A satire on Wellington's dismissal of the Duke of Clarence. A pyramid built of large stones stands in a open field. At the apex is inscribed the word "King" at the base left "Lords" and right "Commons". Kneeling on either side in his robes is a peer facing a simply dressed M.P. Between them on the ground are the heads of a unicorn and a lion which is being gnawed by a crow and a rat. Wellington in full uniform straddles the two men who support him. Between his legs a plaque on the pyramid reads: "Multum in parvo, or the British Constitution formerly consisting of the three estates, King, Lords, Commons, abridged into an elegant extract in one volume!"
