- (Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', X, 1952)
Identified as, and resembling, the third Marquis of Londonderry, Castlereagh's half-brother (1778-1854). The title of the reduced copy in No. 14817 (52), A Deceased Statesman, incorrectly identifies him with Castlereagh.
