"A sequel to British Museum Satires No. 3856 showing Scots paying court to Lord Bute expecting advancement. A crowd of grotesquely caricatured and scrawny Scots plead before Bute seeking posts; Bute, wearing a huge feather in his cap, promises "My Power is very great all those things & muckle mair will I do for ye" and hold a large money bag, while Princess Augusta sits beside him expressing her support. Behind are shelves laden with bulging money bags, "Provision for the Laddies". Other Scotsmen, who had evidently arrived some time earlier, discuss their good fortune, among whom a group sitting at a table boast of good eating; they wear feathers in their caps."--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. Behind this figure, Lord Bute, emerges raising hands in shock at the sight of Wilkes/Hercules."--British Museum online catalogue

"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".

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.
