- Text from 'An Illustrative Key to the Political Sketches of H.B.', London 1841:
During every recess the Conservative party keep up a succession of dinners in different parts of the kingdom, which are thought to be highly useful, if not even absolutely necessary, to keep the party together. Except that of Colonel Sibthorpe, who stands up on the left-hand of the party, and the Earl of Wilton, there are no portraits in this sketch.
