Abstract:: "George IV, crowned, and with orb and sceptre, sits on a coronation chair in Westminster Abbey (right). The Archbishop, well characterized, stands beside him, holding his mitre, his right hand on the chair. On the King's right hand stands Londonderry (Castlereagh) in Garter robes; other peers stand behind him. All watch the antics of Canning, dressed in parti-coloured clothes as a merry-andrew or buffoon. He kneels on the dais at the King's feet, arms flung wide; at his feet is a high-crowned hat with a peacock's feather; on the back of his tunic are the letters M P and P C. He declaims: The delight of the Nation at the Celebration of your Majesty's Coronation, the Exultation throughout the Creation exceeds all Imagination. the Expectation to which the Anticipation of this Consumation has given occasion is beyond Contemplation; we offer the Oblation of our Congratulation, without Hesitation or Trepidation; no Tribulation can effect a Cessation of the Sensation which pervades every Station; no Situation in whatever Deprivation will utter an Execration for the Association are in Preparation to effect an Extirpation of all Defamation. We hope the Expectation of a Decollation will produce Annihilation of all Deviation from strict Regulation; we submit to Subjugation without Hesitation, and we offer our Oration with gratefull Adoration upon this Jollification. The King composedly touches (or kicks) Canning's chin with his toe. Peeresses stand in a gallery across the north transept, holding their coronets. Above them is a second and more crowded gallery."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Napoleon (left) and Joseph sit side by side on low seats or stools, both with a hand on each knee. They have large, elongated heads broadly caricatured (as in British Museum Satires No. 10604, &c.) and look sideways at each other with drawn-down mouths and wrinkled foreheads. Napoleon is in uniform, wearing a feathered bicorne; Joseph wears a crown with Spanish dress, ermine-trimmed robe, and the order of the Golden Fleece. His seat is, very inconspicuously, a commode. At his feet is a sceptre with a scroll inscribed 'Servata Fides Cineri'. Napoleon says: "A pretty piece of Business we have made of it Brother Joe." Joseph: "I always told you Nap, what would come of makeing too free with the Spaniards.""--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Green Bag, see British Museum Satires No. 13735, &c., is transformed into a hillock covered with grass and foliage, but keeping the contour of a sack; it is inscribed in large letters: 'Commons Green Bag'. On the left it is watched by a group of Ministers, on the right by the Queen and her supporters. The foremost of the latter is Brougham, in wig and gown, who points a rod inscribed 'Queens Attorney General' towards the bag; a mouse crouches in a little hollow at its base. Under his arm is a large document inscribed 'Resolution ..... [Ma]jesty'. The Queen, her hands extended towards him, turns to a second barrister who stands in back-view, saying, "I should make a brave Queen to be frightened at a Mouse." The barrister, Denman, the Queen's Solicitor-General, answers: "A good Conscience is a Wall of Brass, your Majesty will not shrink at a Royal Tiger." On the extreme right, Wood, in an alderman's gown, is speaking to a lady, evidently Lady Ann Hamilton. On the extreme left is a curtain from behind which the King, his head and most of his person being hidden, speaks to Lord Eldon (who like his colleagues is gaping at the bag-mountain): "Why Bags! what's all this!" Eldon, in wig and gown, holding a large document and the Purse of the Great Seal, answers: "The Cat's out of the Bag Sire thats all." Canning exclaims: "Pro-di-gi-ous! as my Friend Domine Sampson [in Scott's 'Guy Mannering', 1815] says!" Castlereagh, very scared, says to Sidmouth: "Doctor could you not prevented [sic] this untimely Birth!" Sidmouth stoops forward, squirting a clyster-pipe at the mouse; in his right hand, like a doctor's gold-headed cane, is a constable's staff. He exclaims: "A Delivery without Nurse or Doctor by Heaven." From his pocket hangs a paper: 'Foreign Circular' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13282]. After the title: 'When mountains cry out, people may well be excused the apprehension of some prodigious Birth, this was the case the Public were all at their wits end, to consider what would be the Issue, and instead of the dreadfull Monster that they expected, out comes at last a contemptible Mouse--The Moral. Much ado about Nothing.-- Reflection. What are all the extravagant attempts and enterprises of weak Men, but morals more or less of this Fable what are mighty pretences without consideration or effect, but the vapours of a distemper, that like sickly Dreams have neither issue nor conection. and the dissapointment is not all neither, for men make themselves ridiculous instead of Terrible, when this Tympany shall come to end in a Blast, and a Mountain to bring forth a Mouse, vide L'Estrange's Esop.--'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Heading to a broadside printed in two columns. A scene in the grounds of Brandenburgh House (see British Museum Satires No. 13852). Bergami (see British Museum Satires No. 13731), dressed as a courier, capers, flourishing a whip with a long heavy lash. He points complacently to the house, where a tiny figure, the Queen, extends welcoming arms. He has thick curly hair and moustache, and from his neck hangs a miniature portrait (of the Queen). Alderman Wood, as an old woman, dressed as in British Museum Satires No. 13736, advances towards him, holding out his furred alderman's gown. On the right is the river, with a large house on the opposite bank. The verses (87 ll.) grossly attack the Queen; they end: Let that Wooden Sluggist, that old Brewer's Druggist, Return to his business once more, Sir; In a Politic School, be no longer a fool, And an advocate for an old W-, Sir: For I swear by the Gods, the King has the odds In his favour, for the loyal are many, And the Q- will at length, have to trust in the strength, Of her great Mighty Courier B-."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Lord Mayor sits (right) in profile to the left in a chair of state facing a city officer in a long gown holding a wand who leads in a file of five amused 'cits', three men and two women. The officer says: "Here are a number of People brought before your Honor, by your Honor's Order, for not keeping the pavement clean before their Houses in Frosty Weather - according to the Act of Parliament for that purpose; but the worst of all is - here is a Worthy Alderman, lays information, that the pavement before your Honor's Door is as much neglected as any of the rest - and moreover says that he himself had a fall there in the late Frost, which shook him so much, that he has been unable to digest Turtle or Venison ever since - A material injury to one of the Body Corporate." The alderman, who heads the file, clasps an enormous paunch. The Mayor answers, proffering a coin: "Well, Well, if that is the case, take my five Shillings, and say no more about the Business." The Mayor wears spectacles and a chain of office; he has not the plebeian appearance of the alderman and his companions. (Charles Price was Lord Mayor 1802-3.)"--British Museum online catalogue

Hunt registers frenzied rage; he holds a second jar in his left hand; at his feet is a paper: 'Petition against increased Duty on Coals'. Just behind him is a pugnacious coal-heaver clutching a blacking-jar; he says: 'Go it, my covey another black un--d--n me, if Blackey and Coaley can't do it the devil's in 'em.' The Mayor smiles, despite a cascade of blacking. Behind him and on the extreme left is a barrister in wig and gown, probably the Recorder (Newman Knowlys). He says: 'Mind what your at my hearty--keep up your favorite guard or he'll beat you as black as his own factory.'"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Brougham, seated in profile to the right in a chair inscribed Place, makes a bonfire on the floor of documents and his Old Stuff gown. This he holds over the flames on a levelled broomstick, the broom being inscribed Treasury Broom. Under one foot is a paper inscribed Opposition. He says: I think I shall cut a dash with my new gown; so here goes for the old one--Silk against Stuff for any money. But this worn out concern stinks most damnably: tis true, a great deal of dirty work has been done in it and it was only stuff at first:--it now emits more smoke than flame; yet I can distinguish a magic picture through this volume of vapour. O, glorious precedence! "Tam venerabile erat praecedere" Juvl. The burning papers are: March of Intellect [see British Museum Satires No. 15178], Liberty [of the] Pres[s], Blacks, Catholic Emancipation, Mulatoes, Reform. The smoke from the fire is inscribed Independence, Patriotism, Public Charities, Vapour, Retrenchment. Behind him (left) his new gown hangs on a stand made of an upright which supports his new wig, and a cross-bar inscribed Treasury. The gown is Patent New Silk. Partly concealed by the smoke is the 'magic picture': Anticipation; the Purse of the Great Seal suspended above mace and sword. Below the picture is a big bag stuffed with Briefs."--British Museum online catalogue
