- (Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935)
Original design in pen and wash for the engraving (reversed) with this title in the 'Oxford Magazine', vi. 200, June 1771, BMSat 4427, and for BMSat 4874. The words which the figures are supposed to be saying are written, without labels, and seem to indicate the beginning only of the sentences, each terminating in 'and', apparently a symbol for &c. The engraver has however copied them literally.
