- Abstract:
- "Portland (r.), as a statue, with blank eyes sits stiffly in an armchair formed of rectangular stone blocks. From his neck hangs a placard: 'Repaird and Whitewash'd in the Year 1807'. He has bony knees with thick gouty legs. On the ground beside him are bulky papers docketed: 'Places for Life Pension' and 'Honors Reward'. John Bull, an elderly 'cit' holding a thick stick, gapes at him through spectacles, saying, "I really thought this Statue was gone to decay a long time ago!! - oh - ho- Repair'd and White Wash'd I see - as that is the case - I am sure there is something new m the Wind it is time for me to button up my Pocketts!" He wears striped gaiters drawn over his knees, with old-fashioned dress"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The centre of the system is a circle ..., enclosing 'Iohn Bull', a fat 'cit' smoking a long pipe; with frothing jug, glass, and 'Extraordinary Gazette' on a table, and his dog beside him. The circle is enclosed with a band inscribed: 'God the King - Old Englands Wooden Walls. - Britons Strike Home - Britannia Rule the Waves - '. Outside this is a circle of ships at sea inscribed: 'British Navy', repeated seven times, with two stars at each interval. These are John's 'Satelites'. This outer circle is irradiated, but is surrounded with heavy clouds and 'malignant aspects', the chief being a comet with the head and shoulders of Napoleon, in back view, shooting upwards and from the right: 'A Corsican Comet Frenchified'. On its left, seated on a cloud and linked to Napoleon by a chain, is a 'Russian Bear with two heads, an appendage to the Comet.' On Napoleon's right a frog sits on a cloud smoking a pipe: 'Dutch Frog'. Nearly opposite the centre of the circle are (left) a 'Danish Mouse' and (right) a 'Spanish Puff' or fungus. Above these are (left) an 'Italian Greyhound' and (right) 'Swiss Cheese'. All these are poised on clouds. Above the circle stars are scattered inscribed (left and right) 'Minor Constellations with malignant Aspects'. Between these, and opposite the comet, a scaly creature with a tail and small wings spits venom at the 'British Navy' from a wide mouth edged with large teeth; this is 'American Torpedo' [the torpedo being a ray-fish which discharges electricity]."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A low platform covered with roses extends almost across the design; from this bed new Ministers advancing from the left are ejecting the old. Roses are scattered on the floor. The central figure is the tall and handsome Castlereagh, author of the phrase, see British Museum satires No. 10558, &c. With a taut two-stringed bow in his left hand, a quiver on his shoulders, he strides across Grenville who is on his back on the bed, and takes 'Candle End[s] & Cheese Paring[s]' from a bag with which Windham tries to make off (see British Museum Satires No. 9735). He says: "I'd have you to know I've two strings to my Bow!! Down, Down, Down, Derry Down!!" [See British Museum satires No. 10426.] Behind him, Portland threatens Grenville (in his peer's robe) with a big block of 'Portland Stone' [see British Museum Satires No. 10718, &c.]. In front of Windham Rose steps forward from the bed to grasp a large rose on the floor: 'Treasurership of the Navy.' This Sheridan, in his Harlequin's suit (see British Museum Satires No. 9916), is crawling towards, saying, "Just got into my first Nap - how - Unfortunate - come Sir fat touch that however." Rose holds up a pair of bellows inscribed 'Sing old Rose & burn the Bellows'. Eldon, in Chancellor's wig and gown, strides from the bed on to the prostrate Erskine, seizing the Purse of the Great Seal, whose cord is still round the latter's arm. He raises the mace to strike the ex-Chancellor, whose wig has fallen off. Erskine says: "Be quiet I'll retire"; he holds a money-bag inscribed '4,000 Pr Anm' [see British Museum Satires No. 10714]. Lauderdale, wearing a plaid, is behind him on the ground. On the extreme left Canning, standing on the bed, holds up a massive club inscribed 'Bon Mots & Repartee by G C--g'; he stoops over Howick pointing at the 'Catholic Bill', which the latter holds. Howick steps from the bed, angrily looking up at Canning (his especial enemy, cf. British Museum Satires No. 10972), but, unlike his colleagues, not devoid of dignity. On the ground between Howick and Sheridan is Petty in his gown, one hand on his 'Budget', a small bag, the other on a sheaf of papers inscribed 'Ways & Means'. He says: "Bless me I wish I was safe in College I'd never have anything more to do with Taxes" [an allusion to his youth, and to the fact that he was M.P. for Cambridge]. In the background (right) are Moira in his cocked hat and Lord Temple who makes off rapidly."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A woman decked out in quasi-fashionable but absurd finery, stands in an old-clothes shop between two sailors, one (right) dressed much as in British Museum Satires No. 10894, but with two bunches of seals at his fob, the other wearing a petticoat, his bluejacket open to show a white waistcoat. Both have their black scarves knotted round a white stick-up collar. The woman holds a parasol, and has a ring on every finger; a miniature (see British Museum Satires No. 10894) hangs from a chain of beads, she has two large bunches of seals, bracelets, and ear-rings. A much-feathered hat has a large projecting scoop; her high-waisted dress has a long train, with vandyked lace trimmings. The vulgar, would-be fashionable, shopman, says: "Depend upon it Sir, mine is the first house for for fashionable Articles in Monmouth Street, on the honor of a Salesman I have dealt fairly and honestly, I assure you, by the Young Lady's fashionable feather hat, I dont get a farthing - ." The sailor answers: "Come - come no palaver. I know you have cheated me pretty handsomely - but howsomever as my Messmate and I go partners in the ship and Cargo - it wont fall so heavy - but come my hearty - I'll tell you what I'll do with you - throw me in half a dozen laced Smickets [chemises], and we'll make it even money, I like to have it all rignt under the Hatches, you understand me - all of a piece from Stem to Stern, D----n me!" The other sailor (right) and Poll face each other. He says: "Why Poll I should scarcely know you - You look like a Bond Street frigate steering towards Pall-Mall - but I say my lass I dont much admire your gib-boom - it puts me in mind of a scuttle fish in a fresh gale." On the extreme left are long shelves piled with garments; on the right a man's tail-coat is displayed on a stand. The shop opposite is seen through the open door."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

- Abstract:
- "George III, standing in front of the throne, extends his right. hand to Portland, who stoops to kiss it, proffering a 'List of the New Ministry Duk ...'. The King looks angrily over his left. shoulder at the old Ministry who are in flight, derisively raising the skirt of his coat. Two labels float from his mouth: 'Approach my Lords & Gentlemen & Kiss my Hand -' and, 'as for You my Lords & Gentlemen you may Kiss - '. Grenville scurries es off stooping, his peer's mantle looped over his arm, leaving coat-tails and posteriors exposed; he says: "This comes of getting into bad Company." Howick, as he hurries off with his Catholic Bill, looks behind him at the King, saying, "I thought we should have cramed it down his throat." Moira, in uniform, stares in consternation. Petty and Erskine, both in their robes, escape together, much alarmed. Behind them, Sheridan slinks off, dressed as Harlequin, see BMSat 9916. The others are Sidmouth, in profile to the left., as is Temple on the extreme right.; between them is the spectacled face of Buckingham, saying, "Aye Aye the Doctor [cf. BMSat 9849] advised him not to swallow it." These fugitives are adapted from BMSat 10709. On the left., behind Portland, (?) Hawkesbury stoops, his lips pursed as if ready to kiss. Behind him is Castlereagh, then Perceval in a barrister's wig. A fifth profile appears on the extreme left. Beside the King is a stool on which are a large book (the Bible, as in BMSat 10709), sceptre, and a document, 'Coronation Oath', on which stands the crown. On the back of the heavily canopied throne 'G III R' surmounted by a crown."--British Museum online catalogue
