"A phrenologist, ugly and dandified, standing behind a table, lectures to an informally grouped and stupid-looking audience; he holds his naturalistic brown wig, revealing a bald head covered with reddened protuberances.

On the lecturer's table, with one of Gall's plaster heads mapped out in numbered compartments, are writing materials and books, two with titles: Treatise on Elementary and Logic. Portrait busts, all bald, stand on the floor; busts illustrating different propensities decorate the room. Two are placed conspicuously on the floor in front of the table, Dr. [sic] Ville [see British Museum Satires No. 15157] and Gall. Others are of Spurzhim [sic], Scott, Shakespeare, W.

The book-case behind the lecturer contains, besides books, a skull and a large jar of coloured liquid inscribed Gall, it stands on a large book, Opinions on Men and things; beside this are Lock on Understanding and Aristotle (propped by a skull). The other books with titles are Moore, Lavater [two volumes], Lectures on Nothing [?

On the wall are three pictures: Bumps, two little boys boxing with huge spherical gloves; Life's a Bumper, a fat 'cit' toping in an arm-chair; Tony Lumpkin, who cracks a whip, and shouts as in Goldsmith's play. Below these are pinned up a pictorial advertisement and three prints.

"'General' [See BM Satires 15162], with the same jockey beside him, stands dejectedly, while a second horse (left), held by a jockey who says I'm the Boy for a make weight, is having weights shackled to his fore-feet: one inscribed 12.00, the other 200. The man doing this smiles slyly, saying, There! now I have him as secure as the Hampshire Hog in the Pound. Three betting men stand together. One looks over his shoulder to say: That will do the Thing! I'll bet the Craven Stakes to leg-Alley! A fat man says to the third: I'll bet you 1200 to 200! The other leans forward insinuatingly: Come I say shew your Spice make it Thousands. The former answers: No, No, I dont want to be done up. A man on horseback, looking towards the second horse, says: Aye, Aye Squirrel against Panic now for 300 Gs."--British Museum online catalogue

"A landscape is patterned with tiny children under huge wide-brimmed hats. Two girls in back view hasten towards three little boys who swagger forward, arm-in-arm; the hat of the tallest boy projects far beyond the heads of the others, who wear round peaked caps. All wear childish trousers gathered at the ankle in a dandyish manner. One boy rides a hobbyhorse, one child has fallen prone, and is almost covered by its hat. In the foreground grow genuine mushrooms."--British Museum online catalogue

"Fourteen small children amuse themselves uproariously in a small space. Four little girls in party-dresses, dance holding hands round a lady who tosses an infant; two of them hold up dolls. A fat and grinning cook stands in the doorway with a tray of jelly-glasses, cake, and fruit. The biggest boy rides a rocking-horse, giving a view-hallo; another boy with an overturned chair for horses, drives in a professional manner a high-slung rectangular cradle (left) in which sits a little girl holding a doll and an open umbrella. A little boy with a wooden sword tries to storm a table, defended by two others, with drum, trumpet, and Union Jack. These children are dressed up to suit their parts. In the foreground (right) two children build a card-house on the floor, with skipping-rope, toy soldiers, and horse and cart beside them. On the left are a top and whip, and an Eaton Latin Grammar. On the wall is pinned a caricature of Dr Syntax [see BM Satires 11507, &c] with birch-rod and book."--British Museum online catalogue
