Abstract:: "Heading to a broadside printed in two columns. A sequel to No. 13764. George IV, a whiskered infant, lies feverish and fractious in a cot decorated with Chinese figures and hung with bells. He is surrounded by Ministers. Sidmouth, holding a doctor's gold-headed cane, feels his pulse, saying: "Dredful sympton's [sic] a raging Pulse." A bottle labelled 'Dolbys Carminative' (as in British Museum Satires No. 13764) projects from his pocket. Liverpool, with pap-boat and spoon, says: "I thought how it would be, that Foriegn Emetick has been too strong for his weak Nerves." Castlereagh, standing between two lawyers, puts a hand on the Babe's forehead, saying: "how hot his poor dear head feels." One lawyer (? Copley) tries to push back a leg within the cot, saying: "If he could but stand on his Legs once more we might have hopes, but I'm afraid he has Caught the Rickets--" The other (? Gifford): "A sae [sic] voyage by all means Brou--ms drops should have been taken with more caution as they are very Searching." An old woman (left) holds out a ribbon: "Here's the R--y--l Leading Strings," while an apothecary (right) using a large pestle and mortar says: "O! what a fogo what a mixture what a mess." Behind him are shelves ranged with druggist's jars. In the foreground toys are scattered, chiefly military, as in British Museum Satires No. 13764; they are: 'Royal Play things'. There is also a rocking-horse on which are two toy lancers. In front of the fire napkins are hanging, and on the mantelshelf are medicine-bottles and a doll. In the foreground is an overturned child's commode, the pan inscribed 'Royal Stole'. ...."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Devil, laden with Tories, strides to the left, quoting the Duke of Newcastle with a gloating grin: 'Can't I do what I like with MY OWN' [see BM Satires No. 15884, &c.]. Across his shoulder is a trident on which a bloated bishop is spiked. From the lower end of the handle a rat-trap (see BM Satires No. 15734), on which Peel sits, hangs by a rope. Wellington, encircled by the barbed tail, is dragged along, kicking violently. He is in uniform with spurred boots; a gibbet projects from his cocked hat. Under the Devil's arm are two lawyers: Wetherell in his slovenly dress, and Lyndhurst. The remainder are tied by ropes to the Devil's back; most prominent (left to right) are Ellenborough, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Croker. The others are scarcely characterized; a Scots cap may denote Lauderdale, a renegade."--Britism Museum online catalogue

Four pupils sit on the front bench behind them is another row of four; Wellington stands behind on a stool (invisible) wearing a fool's cap, like an extinguisher, decorated with bells. He holds a torn primer, and with his fingers to his mouth says 'I Can't Reform'. Peel is the only boy who looks at Grey. The pupils are ill-drawn and badly characterized; two are Lyndhurst and Goulburn, wearing spectacles.

Abstract:: King William IV dressed as a sailor dances in the centre of a semicircle of ministers who have black bodies and are partially draped. Among the ministers are Peel and Scarlett on the left, Lyndhurst and Wellington on the right both of whom wear nose-rings. Scarlett encircles Ellenborough, who, with Sugden, is behind the King. Their tribal dance celebration alludes to the relief that the ministers must have felt to be able to retain their positions with the new reign. William IV was a popular King and a stark contrast to George IV and was liable to wild bursts of passion as is suggested here. He and the Duke of Wellington (then prime minister) got on very well, hence the retainment of his ministers. He is dressed in sailor garb in reference to his years in the navy. The tribal dress of the ministers refers to the far-flung shores that William visited

Lyndhurst: 'Alas! she'll get no more out of Doodle! he has quite kicked her off--She is just now gone to Cumberland to try after a service there which perhaps may enable me to keep still sitting on Wool, if I can but turn this Coat once more & look decent.'
