British Museum Satires No. 8208 by Bunbury). Tiny figures watch from a window and from the wall. Near the wall ride two little chimney-sweeps on an ass, and a woman on a broken-kneed horse."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Burdett, young and handsome, stands between two contrasted men. He takes the left hand of a stout good-looking fellow: 'The Genius of Honour and Integrity', and points with a gesture of dismissal to 'The Monster of Corruption', a hideous and grotesque old man who departs to the right, clutching money-bags. Above Burdett's head: 'Look here upon this picture, and on this, And then Judge for Yourselves'. He wears a ribbon like a Garter ribbon inscribed 'MAGNA CHARTA Bill of Rights'. Against the head of 'The Genius of Honour' are inscriptions: 'A sound Mind'; 'An Eye ever watchful to the Welfare of his fellow Citizens.'; 'A Tongue that never belied a good Heart'. On his shoulder: 'A Shoulder that never shrinks in trouble'. A placard across his chest: 'An Upright Breast and an Honest Heart'. On his paunch: 'A Lover of Peace and Plenty A Plain Liver'. His pocket: 'Pocket ever open to the Necessities of his Fellow Creatures'. Knee: 'A Knee to Religion'. Leg: 'Legs ever steady in his Country Cause'. In his right hand, inscribed 'Hand of Justice', he holds a paper: 'A Staunch Supporter of the Bill of Rights An Advocate for a Fair Representation of the People An Enemy to Bribery and Corruption'. 'The Monster' has a large grotesque head; his bald scalp is inscribed 'Professions and Promises'; the eye-socket is covered with a white disk: 'An Eye to Interest'; his projecting nose: 'A Scent for Interest'; his projecting toothless jaw: 'A Mouth of Guile'. He wears a 'Collar of Corruption'. The arm: 'Arms of Power'; hand: 'Hands of Extortion', holding a bag: 'Pensions Reversions Perquisites of Office'. In the left hand: 'Bag of Bribery'. On his chest: 'A Cringinge Soul'. On his paunch: 'Pampered Appetite'. His coat-pocket bulges with 'Secret Service Mony'. His right leg: 'Legs of Luxury'; his left thigh: 'A Rotten Borough'; shoe: 'Feet of Connivance'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Perceval, as Don Quixote, stands in front of the Treasury, giving his orders for the forthcoming session. Facing him, Ministerial members (right) stand at attention, clasping rolled documents, all inscribed 'Ministerial Military Exercise Aye & No', as if they were muskets; one is in Highland dress. A further phalanx in the background is on Perceval's left. He wears armour, with Mambrino's helmet (the barber's basin) and holds erect a tilting-lance, which serves as staff for the Royal Standard. His left hand, holding a 'Muster Roll', rests on his hip. Behind him, pen in hand, and with a pen behind the ear, the two Treasury Secretaries stand stiffly, each with a large book, one 'Names of Staunch Men', the other 'Names of Deserters'. On the extreme left and in the foreground George Rose stoops over a large 'Military Chest', filled with bank-notes, which he holds out towards the Ministerial troops. On the ground beside him lies a rose labelled 'A Rose in January'. Behind him, lurking in a gateway, is Melville, in Highland dress, with two similarly clad Scots peering over his shoulder. He says: "An Ye should want a set of braw fellows fit for ony service, I ha them here ready for ye". On Perceval's left is a mounted officer (Montrose) holding a paper inscribed 'Treaty for an Armistice for 14 days if Necessary'. Beside him is a mounted trumpeter. Perceval says: "Now my Lads lets see if you are perfect in your Exercise!!! You will stick close right or wrong". All answer "Aye. Nor refuse a good place when it is offered". All answer "No. Of course all I say is truth". All answer "Aye, Nor you wont let the Enemy Contradit me". All answer "No".

Sir Francis Burdett, holding copies of the Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights, is arrested by the Speaker of the House of Commons (who calls Britannia a 'blank eyed b-h'). Britannia stands, hands clasped in supplication, her lion by her side. Burdett argued in the House of Commons against the imprisonment of the radical John Gale Jones. Failing to have Jones released, Burdett issued a revised edition of his speech in the Weekly Register, an action which the House voted a breach of privilege. The Speaker issued a warrant for Burdett's arrest and he was taken by soldiers from the Commons to the Tower of London, where he remained until the next Parliamentary recess

"Diogenes stands in the House of Commons between the two front benches; both arms are thrown out towards Burdett with a dramatic gesture; in one hand is his lantern, illuminating the patriot at close range; small clouds at his feet indicate that he is a ghost. He turns his head to look steadily at three members on the front Ministerial bench (left), saying: "An Honest Man is the noblest work of God" [Pope, 'Essay on Man', quoted by Burns, cf. British Museum Satires No. 11562]. The three culprits (unrecognizable) register shame and terror, their hair standing on end. Burdett stands by the front bench (right) on which is his hat, displaying to the frightened Ministers (one intended for Perceval) a document headed 'Magna Charta--Pro Rege, lege, grege' [see British Museum Satires No. 11547]. Except for one member on the front bench, those behind Burdett stand, five being depicted, three of whom wave their hats. All the occupants of the gallery wave still more emphatically. In the background and on the left is the Speaker's Chair; the diminutive Abbot, author of the famous Warrant, see British Museum Satires No. 11545, &c., holds up a hand in astonished alarm. Burdett was in the Tower during May, see British Museum Satires No. 11558. 'Hair on end' is an allusion to Lethbridge, see British Museum Satires No. 11538."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
A man stands in a room holding a caduceus decorated comic mask, saying ''When I do stare, see how the subjects quacke'." He is surrounded with bills and a bag of coins on the table, both suggesting corruption. At sign hanging from the table reads "Alexandrian Memorial, A loss is no benefit. No committee." Below on the floor, another discarded scroll reads "Rejected with prejudice." At his foot is an animal (a fox?) holding a sign "Designs [ca]refully copied, civilly returned, and he carries in his hand a piece of paper "I perceive the trick & will avoid the cheat. Na-th." Behind him hangs a sign, "The exact-u-trick is safe or 22d Sept." On the wall is a picture of the facade of a theater. Probably a satire on an unidentified theater manager

Abstract:
Sick and infirm patients on crutches and in wheelchairs ("Bath chairs") race down a grassy hill as spectators cheer them along. At the top of the hill, the start of the race is labeled "Cripples Corner" and represents The Crescent; the city of Bath is outlined in the distance and "Cripples and invalids rush down a hill below houses apparently representing The Crescent, and inscribed 'Cripples Corner'. The road traverses a rough grass slope to the river, beyond which are the houses of Bath (right). In the foreground an aged cripple has fallen headlong, losing hat, wig, and one crutch. Two old men, one in regimentals, hobble frantically on crutches, followed by a fat 'cit' also using crutches. In the middle distance, and lower down, three gouty old men are being trundled wheelbarrow-fashion in bath-chairs. Young women cheer on the competitors, one flourishing a riding-switch. In the background (left) at the top of the hill are other cripples."--British Museum online catalogue
