- "Perceval, as Don Quixote, stands in front of the Treasury, giving his orders for the forthcoming session. Facing him, Ministerial members (right) stand at attention, clasping rolled documents, all inscribed 'Ministerial Military Exercise Aye & No', as if they were muskets; one is in Highland dress. A further phalanx in the background is on Perceval's left. He wears armour, with Mambrino's helmet (the barber's basin) and holds erect a tilting-lance, which serves as staff for the Royal Standard. His left hand, holding a 'Muster Roll', rests on his hip. Behind him, pen in hand, and with a pen behind the ear, the two Treasury Secretaries stand stiffly, each with a large book, one 'Names of Staunch Men', the other 'Names of Deserters'. On the extreme left and in the foreground George Rose stoops over a large 'Military Chest', filled with bank-notes, which he holds out towards the Ministerial troops. On the ground beside him lies a rose labelled 'A Rose in January'. Behind him, lurking in a gateway, is Melville, in Highland dress, with two similarly clad Scots peering over his shoulder. He says: "An Ye should want a set of braw fellows fit for ony service, I ha them here ready for ye". On Perceval's left is a mounted officer (Montrose) holding a paper inscribed 'Treaty for an Armistice for 14 days if Necessary'. Beside him is a mounted trumpeter. Perceval says: "Now my Lads lets see if you are perfect in your Exercise!!! You will stick close right or wrong". All answer "Aye. Nor refuse a good place when it is offered". All answer "No. Of course all I say is truth". All answer "Aye, Nor you wont let the Enemy Contradit me". All answer "No". Perceval: "That will do very well and my Aid de Camps shall register you accordingly remember there is something good at the bottom of the Ches [sic]". ..."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Satire on the expected effect of a return of John Wilkes to parliament. Wilkes as Hercules leaps over the fallen figure of Discord to seize the arm of the Speaker, Sir John Cust, as members flee in all directions. In the front, to right, is Fletcher Norton, holding a bag of money while other coins fall from his pocket as he steps over the mace, lettered "A Mere Bauble" (quoting Oliver Cromwell). In the background, on a pedestal decorated with the mournful figure of Britannia, a bloated figure squats over "Magna Charta". It has three heads, a wolf, a snake and a sheep; one outstretched hand is in the form of a claw, the other holds a bag of money.

- Abstract:
- "Fox, as a quack doctor, addresses a mob from the front of a platform which rests upon five beer-barrels inscribed 'Whitbreads entire' (cf. BMSat 8638). Four other mountebanks are performing. Fox wears the full wig and old-fashioned laced coat and waistcoat of a doctor; he points to a young man (Bedford) behind him (left) who stands on his head, coins pouring from his pocket into a box. A Pierrot (Grey) stands behind the platform holding a trumpet and saying: "Turn me Grey Gemmen if I dont read you the particulars of his curing 30,000 Patients in one day; when Brother cit. has done tumbling". On a slack-rope stretching across the left part of the platform is little Lord Lauderdale, holding a balancing pole. He and Bedford are dressed as acrobats. On the right is the doctor's zany, Sheridan, wearing a fool's cap and a tunic and trousers dotted with representations of the Devil. He scatters, and kicks towards the spectators below him, a shower of paper scrolls inscribed: 'An Infaliable cure for a bad constitution'; 'Aether for Arguments'; 'Caustics for Crimps' [cf. BMSat 8484]; 'Mercury for Ministers'; 'Preparations against Prosecution'; 'Powder [cf. BMSat 8629] for Placemen' [twice]; 'Pain for the Poor' [cf. BMSat 8146]; 'A Rope for Reeves' [cf. BMSat 8699]; 'Gibets for Justices' [cf. BMSat 8686]; 'Aqua Regis for Royalists'. The crowd (right), who are three-quarter length, eagerly hold out their hands to catch the papers. Next the platform is a well-dressed man resembling Grafton. The man on the extreme right is a butcher wearing a bonnet-rouge. Fox says: "Dis is de first Tumbler in de Vorld Gemmen, dat is Citoyen de Bedforado, who vas stand so long upon his head dat all de money vas Tumble out of his pockets; de Next is Citoyen Van Lathertalo, who's trick upon de slack rope are delightfull it is expected he vil von Day dance on de Tight Rope ha ha!!" The men and women composing the crowd on the left all raise a hand in affirmation; all are shouting. A man dressed as a militiaman, standing prominently beside the platform, raises a hand from which two fingers are missing; he shouts "All. All." Perhaps Edward Hall, 'Liberty Hall'."--British Museum online catalogues

- Abstract:
- "An engraving representing Lord Holland as an old fox, seated at a table and starting back in horror from a book which is presented to him by an angel who cries: -- "This is the black Catalogue of thy Misdeeds". The book is inscribed: -- " Sins which L d H nd has committed against God his K his Country & himself"; it comprises two columns of imperfect, unconnected, and reversed words and scribble, and one legible word "Ayliff". To this word the finger of the angel is directed. For this name of a steward to the Fox family, who was alleged to have been wrongfully hanged by means of Lord Holland, see "Ayliffe's Ghost", British Museum Satires No. 4038. At the front of the table is a book inscribed, besides illegible scribble, with: -- " Accompts to be Settled in the other World"; this is an allusion to the charges of vast peculation which were brought against Lord Holland, the so-called "notorious defaulter of unaccounted millions"; see "Frontispiece to the Middlesex Petition", British Museum Satires No. 4289, and "Renard Stating his Accounts", British Museum Satires No. 4299. An imp sits at the table and acts as Lord Holland's secretary; a second imp crouches behind his chair and niches gold from a large bag."--British Museum catalogue

- Abstract:
- "George IV (three-quarter length), surrounded by admiring Ministers, holds up a big extinguisher made of paper and inscribed 'Speech from the Throne', which he is about to place over a crowd of tiny Jacobins who surround the Queen and Alderman Wood. All these 'Lilliputians' are on a round table, whose top forms the base of the design except on the right. The terrified Jacobins fall on to papers inscribed 'Libels', 'Address' [twice], 'Sedition'. Alderman Wood steps on the back of one in a frantic effort to escape with the Queen whom he holds in his arms. She is a fat virago, holding up a fire-brand (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13895) inscribed 'Sedition', whose smoke rises into the extinguisher, and a large money-bag, '50 000 per Ann', labelled 'Crumbs of Consolation'. Other Jacobins flee to left and right, escaping the extinguisher, but either falling calamitously from the table, or about to be grasped by the hand of Eldon who sits at the table (left). They have banners and caps of Liberty on poles (or pikes). Among the fugitives is a Don Quixote (left) in armour, wearing Mambrino's helmet, galloping off on horseback, holding a banner. A terrified Jacobin (right) drops a 'Tailors Adress'. Ministers watch the approaching extinction with pleasure: Eldon has a grim smile, Sidmouth and Castlereagh behind him register, one eager delight, the other bland satisfaction. Wellington (right), close behind the King, smiles triumphantly, Liverpool beside him, is in profile, surprised, pleased, and imbecile. The King, three-quarter length, is a cynical Adonis, in military uniform. Behind his head is a framed picture: an irradiated sun containing features dispels dark clouds, putting bats, serpent, owl, &c., to flight; beside it is a dark disk containing the features of the Queen, in eclipse (reversing the situation in British Museum Satires No. 14012)."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "An elaborate symbolical clock has a dial on which the hands are represented by the arms of the Queen, who kneels within it. Canning stands within the smaller disk of the pendulum. The dial and pendulum hang from a curved bar supported on two uprights, one (left) representing the forces of the Army and Navy, the Crown and the Church, and the other the Radicals and their pikes. A fat and carbuncled John Bull, much larger in scale than the other figures, and wearing a huge judge's wig, sits astride the dial where it is surmounted by a crown; he holds a paper: 'Chief justice Bull--Jurisdiction--ad Infinitum'. On the rim of the dial: (left) 'King', 'Lords', (right) 'Commons'. The Queen kneels in profile to the right, her left arm pointing to the crown, her right towards the 'Commons'. The supports of the dial are (left) a cornucopia filled with sovereigns, and (right) a giant cap of Liberty, shaped like the cornucopia, from which project the heads of men wearing bonnets-rouges. On the cornucopia are Liverpool, holding out the 'Green Bag', see British Museum Satires No. 13735, Eldon, Sidmouth with his clyster-pipe, and a fourth Minister. On the bonnet rouge stand four of the Queen's supporters, one (apparently Wood) holding out to her a cap of Liberty. A small scene is inset below the dial, flanked by cornucopia and cap of Liberty. The Green Bag lies on a table, across which Castlereagh (left) and Brougham (right), both wearing boxing-gloves, are fighting, the former on the defensive. Each has a second, Brougham's is a second barrister (? Denman). Below this appear seven vertical rods to which the disk of the pendulum is attached. The centre one is 'Unhappy Medium'. On the left, held by cross-bands inscribed 'Golden Argument' and 'Valuable ties', are 'Royal Sunshine', 'Sinecure', and 'Tangible etcetrias'. On the right, held by 'Magnanimity' [tricolour], are 'Quixotism', 'Public Champion', and 'Radical Celebrity'. Canning stands within the disk of the pendulum, both hands held up, looking in gloomy perplexity to the left. He hesitates between the contrasted lures of the pendulum bars. He is standing between a crown and a cap of Liberty. On the left a winged infant flies off with a money-bag, inscribed '1000', saying, "Adieu!" A similar infant (right) proffers a cap of Liberty, saying, "See here Glory waits thee." Above the disk: 'The Uncertainty of all Sublunary Honors'. The design is bordered, left and right, by the two supports of the beam. On the left a jovial sailor and a handsome soldier stand on a base formed of a 'Treasury Iron Chest'. The corresponding figures on the right are two ragged ruffians with linked arms, each holding a spiked bludgeon and a dagger, who stand on a similar chest: 'Pandora's Box'. Flags are draped above the heads of both: the Royal Arms and Union Jack with a crown (left), and a tricolour flag and a (piratical) black flag (right). Above these are (left) a mitre resting on a Bible, crossed swords, and bayonets, supporting a block on which is a crown. On the opposite side are three caps of Liberty, crossed bludgeon and dagger, and pikes, supporting a block on which is yet another cap of Liberty."--British Museum online catalogue
