"Melville, in Highland dress (left), stoops, holding open a sack from which issues an endless procession of pigmy Scots, receding in perspective to disappear under a high Gothic doorway, inscribed 'Saint Stephens'. The little Scots march out of the bag like an army of occupation, with an eager, hungry air. Some wear plain, others feathered, bonnets; one has bagpipes under his arm, another a broad-sword. John Bull (right), a yokel in shirt and breeches, holding a cudgel, looks down at them, saying, "Dang it, what a swarm of them there be - enough to cause a famine in any christian country." Melville says: "There ye are my bonny Lads - mak the best o' your way the door is open - and leave a Scotsman alaine to stick in a place gin he once gains an entrance!" Saint Stephens, the House of Commons, is between a high crenellated wall (right) and the façade of a neo-Gothic building with crenellated roof, oriel windows above an arcade, and turrets."--British Museum online catalogue, description of alternate state

"The interior of an apothecary's room: jars on shelves; a counter with drawers, pestle and mortar, flasks, &c. A bust of Galen stands on the lintel of the door (right). An alarmed undergraduate in cap and gown stands clasping his stomach. The doctor faces him triumphantly, with raised arms and holding a pill-box. His man, who wears an apron, walks off with a large box inscribed 'Anti-Fibbibus'. The (prose) inscription below the title relates that a 'College Wag' called on a 'travelling Empiric' and asked to be cured of a bad memory, and a habit of lying. He is cured by the 'gilded pill called - Pillula Memoria - Anti Fibbibus!!' The youth complains that he is poisoned with Asafœtida, the doctor answers that he speaks the truth and will never forget the medicine, so is cured."--British Museum online catalogue

A man arrested at the door of a room disarrayed by cleaning, wearing a dressing gown and with a gouty slippered foot, his hands held out warily in front of him, his teeth clenched together and his nose dripping; at left, kneeling in front of the grate, a stout and grotesque maid scrubbing the floor; a bust portrait of a man above the mantelpiece, looking disapprovingly down on the maid; cat and caged bird at far right."--British Museum online catalogue
