- Abstract:
- "After the title: 'Dedicated to the enlightened and temperate Protestants of the united Kingdoms--.' The 'Bugabo' is held up by an Irishman in the centre of the design: a huge sheaf of straw to which is tied a mask inscribed 'Inquisition' with glaring eye-balls and fanged mouth; from the sheaf project a cross and a lighted church candle. The Irishman peeps from behind it, saying, 'Hurra! by Jasus! a'rnt I a comeing.' He terrifies a crowd of 'old women' (right) who flinch, flee, and fall. The foremost is Eldon, wearing a cap over a Chancellor's wig, and holding a 'Petition of the Old Women of Petty France Westmr against Catholic Emancipation' [cf. BM Satires No. 15716]. He says: 'Avaunt and quit my sight! Hence! Horrible shadow Hence! Hence without Hesitation!!' A little boy exclaims: 'D'ont be frightened Mother! why i'ts only straw!' A woman, holding a big birch-rod, to show that she is (?) Joseph Birch, M.P. for Nottingham, exclaims: 'Oh! this is the consequence of that fatal Thursday! O that I could give them their deserts I'd make them remember Birch!!' Of the remaining six women, one exclaims 'Indeed Sir it was not me that cried No Popery'; two others wear ducal coronets: Cumberland (moustached) says: 'Only let me catch you in Cumberlan thats all!' Newcastle (unrecognizable) adds: 'Aye or at Newcastle we'd make Pickle Salmon of him.' On the extreme left are Wellington and Peel; the Duke, who is in uniform with cocked hat, sword, and boots, says to Peel: 'That many would be frightened at straws is no more than I anticipated my worthy Colleague! -- but depend upon it they will find the Hearts of his Majestys Catholic Subjects contain as much Honor Loyalty and Gratitude as those of their fellow Countrymen of a different persuasion --and in time they will find I have made no Mistake!!' Peel, who walks hat in hand, carrying a box of 'Candi[ed] Peel', answers: 'It is with this conviction I have candidly acknowledged my change of former sentiments assured that your measures as leader of His Majesty's Government will prove as conducive to the Peace and Happiness of these realms as your Tactics when Leader of his Armies.'"--British Museum online catalogue

- "Four isolated characters, each surmounted by a caption. 'A Corinthian' [cf. BM Satires No. 14320]. A raffish would-be fashionable wearing a fur-collared coat, his tie passed through a ring, holds an eye-glass in one gloved hand, a long bill in the other. He looks over his shoulder to say 'I'll call and pay. A regular bad one'. A burly fellow with a squint, looking like a coachman, in battered hat, double-breasted greatcoat, and top-boots, stands full-face, saying, 'Vy I did pay!!!' An unfortunate. An old and emaciated man wearing a tattered apron over clothes once respectable, says with a hopeless gesture 'I can't pay!' A little ragged girl weeps beside him. 'Lawyer. Shark'. An elderly paunchy and truculent lawyer with a brief tied with red tape under his arm, says with a scowl 'I shan't pay!!!!'"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "On a grassy plateau projecting from a rocky mountain are Wellington, Peel, and an old woman, as doctor-accoucheur, apothecary, and nurse. Where mountain joins plateau there is a shallow cavity in which is a tiny mouse, 'Emancipation'. On the top of the mountain is a royal crown from which float the words: 'Its our Royal Will & pleasure to be delivered.' Wellington, in profile to the right, holds with silent concentration huge 'Ministerial Forceps'. The nurse sits on a low seat holding a spoon and a steaming bowl of 'Political Caudle'. A large open book against her knees, 'THE TIMES', and a large watch (indicating the clock device above the leading article) show that she personifies "The Times". She looks up at Wellington with bleary bonhomie, saying, 'Oh! the dear creature, how many will accompany it to Ireland, to spend thier money--no doubt Dublin will become more fashionable than Paris--now Doctor never mind the windy warfare of those Gentlemen above!' She refers to three "winds": heads issuing from clouds below the mountain-top, each inscribed 'Faction', which blow blasts towards the cavity where the mouse emerges. The centre and principal head is Eldon's; the one on the left says to the third: 'Blow away Wind-chelsea kill the Brat.' The third (Winchelsea) answers 'Aye, Aye, or Cripple it.' Peel, standing behind Wellington, holds up a big medicine-bottle; he says: 'I used to think that Paliatives were the right Medicine, but the Doctor has convinced me something more active is wanted.' In the foreground, standing just below the plateau, are the heads and shoulders of spectators. On the left are two frenzied bishops; one (? Howley) holds up a crozier to which is attached a little 'No Popery' flag; he bellows: 'Brethren, Brethren, Mother Church is in danger.' The other holds up a large mitre extinguisher-wise towards the mouse, shouting: 'Oh the imp, if we catch it we'll Burke it!' [see British Museum Satires No. 15707, &c.]. As a pendant to the bishops are two non-Anglican ministers. One, evidently Irving, in gown and bands, as in British Museum Satires No. 15658, stands with raised arms as if in the pulpit, declaiming, 'The Sword of the Lord, and of Gideon, peradventure we may destroy this fiend of Satan.' Beside him is a minister of lower status, with lank hair and a large 'Book of Faith' under his arm. He says: 'A beast of the bottomless Pit--a beast of the Seven Hills--a horned beast with fire and sword.' Facing him is a startled yokel who asks: 'Pray Sir what sort of a beast be it?' In the middle distance (left), behind the bishops, O'Connell, in wig and gown, stands on the side of the mountain, addressing a band of his followers just below him. They ask him questions, to each of which he answers 'Yes' with a bland gesture: [1] 'I say Dan, will Mancipation make the Prates grow?' [2] 'Dan, shall we get plenty of Whiskey?' [3] 'Will bogs breed Pigs & shall we all wear warm wigs & silk cloaks like you Dan?' On the opposite flank of the mountain (right), much higher up and on a smaller scale, stands Cumberland, in hussar uniform, with a handkerchief to his eye; he addresses a body of dismayed clerics, only one of whom is characterized: 'No doubt this will become a Popish Country, that is if they get the loaves & fishes.'"--British Museum online catalogue

The King wears the caped coat of an amateur coach-driver with top-boots and a bulky scarf. His right hand rests on a cane, his left arm on the table; he looks towards J. B. through almost closed eyelids, saying, 'I believe Mr Bull you are no great admirer of His M*****y?' J. B. is a respectably-dressed countryman with gaiters above the knee. He takes a long pipe from his mouth to answer: 'You are quite mistaken Sir, I only wish I liked any one about or belonging to him half so well.'"--British Museum online catalogue
